Neatorama Oh So Beautiful Paper Shirt.Woot Sightings At GenCon 2008 The annual GenCon gaming convention is one of the biggest gatherings of geekly types in the world. So it probably won't suprise you that it's also one of the highest concentrations of Shirt.Woot tees outside of our warehouse. Two of our number, Dave and Luke, go every year - but this year, along with the capes and the chainmail, an elite few among the GenCon mob were lookin' sharp in their Shirt.Woot finery... Unlike previous years, there were no reported zombie fatalities at GenCon 2008. We like to think we had a hand in that... Another non-surprise: the only two Woot shirts Dave saw on multiple people involved zombies and dragons. Speaking of, this tiny little dragon has nothing to do with Shirt.Woot, except that we exude a similar sense of awesomeness. Dave's pretty sure this is one of the guys who said they packed nothing but Woot shirts for the convention. According to the latest exchange rates, a Woot shirt is worth 97.32 words.

Le radium deviendra pourtant une nouvelle potion magique (lire: "L'insensibilisation par le radium" dans la revue Le Radium n°3, mars 1904) que l'on vend sans plus de scrupules que les vieux remèdes de bonnes femmes. « Lors de ma première note à l'Académie de Médecine, le 6 octobre 1903, je disais déjà que je croyais être arrivé à la détermination des doses maniables, des doses médicamenteuses du radium. Dès 1908, on utilise le radium pour soigner de nombreuses affections, notamment les affections cutanées. Voir la vidéo suivante (en):

Creative Uses of Stickers in Advertising The use of stickers in advertising is not only an innovative way to attract attention, it is also an extremely cost-effective way to create a lasting impression.

Surprise (pegasus; no notable changes from original) is white with curly (standard-length) chartreuse hair and light purple eyes. Later in 1986, six new So Soft ponies were introduced.

So Me Garkov -- Garfield + Markov chains -- Josh Millard Garkov Other Markov toys: Previously, on the X-Files...The Big MarkovskiJesus Markoving Christ Garfield is a comic strip by Jim Davis, who seems like a pretty good guy. A Markov chain is a probabilistic model well suited to semi-coherent text synthesis. Garkov is an application of the Markov model to transcripts of old Garfield strips, plus some extra code to make it all look like a genuine comic strip. Josh Millard is responsible for this mess; he also has a blog and frequently does stuff.
