A good day. Maybe even a very good day -- the day's outing was a trip to the Greek Festival with Colleen, the YD, and the BF. Good eating: lamb, retsina, Greek coffee... yum! I made stir-fried leftovers and rice for dinner.

In a major burst of productivity, I extracted, split, and posted the audio from the Baycon concert.

And I was delighted to see a delightful prank at my alma mater, courtesy of judifilksign.

Other good links under the cut, as usual.

We hit the Greek festival the night before. Lamb, calamari, dolmathes, spanikopita, and pastries. Good thing it's only once a year...

[mdlbear]

Yeah. I miss the pastries, since they're all wheat-based, but my waistline is happier without them.

BTW, I love the "costume" for the observatory. Sure beats out the Mickey Mouse watch conversion friends of mine did to the Cal Poly campus clock.
