Daily chart: Everything you need to know about UFOs

On July 2nd avid watchers of the skies celebrate World UFO day.The National UFO Reporting Centre, a non-profit, has catalogued almost 90,000 reported sightings of UFOs, mostly in America, since 1974. It turns out that aliens are considerate: they seldom disturb earthlings during working or sleeping hours. Rather, they tend to arrive in the evening, especially on Fridays, when folks are sitting on the front porch nursing their fourth beer.

I especially like that they used the term “drinking hours” to describe what we once knew as “evening,” but still. Potentially pretty telling.

Late Night Links – Sunday June 15th, 2014

It’s been a tiring weekend here in the Jason, @AsignCwGrl, @SnoopysBF household. We’ve been out well past our bedtimes for the last three nights. As a result it’s about a quarter past eight as I write this and I’m exhausted. Flo is asleep on the sofa in the living room, and has been for several hours now. Ultimately my point is this: let’s get this late night links thing over with, so I can go to sleep.

And that’s it for another week, folks! Until next time…

Last night, Flo took to me to the science centre for my pre-birthday. The second Thursday of every month is adults only night – there’s all the same exhibits, but there’s also a DJ and a bar.

Anyway, we went to a workshop there to learn how to solder. There were a couple of things that you could build from kits. Flo built a device that, at the click of a button, turns off all TVs in the immediate vicinity.

I made this useless box! Behold, the uselessness!!

It’s that time of the week again peeps! And it’s a beautiful day so you should be extra thankful that I’m sitting here inside with my laptop putting this stuff together for you.

And that’s it! We’re all done for another week. See you all in seven days, same time, same place.

Late Night Links – Sunday June 1st, 2014

It’s that time of the week again! I’ve had a busy day. Flo is napping on the sofa already, and Charlie is watching over her to make sure she’s not disturbed by anybody other than him.

That’s all until next week, folks. Until then.

For the first time in my life I own shoes that are extremely uncomfortable, but I bought them because look fantastic.

Is this a sign that I’m slowly becoming Flo?
