Little Twin Stars

My favorite childhood Sanrio characters. Has their color scheme been locked in my subconscious all these years, only to come out in Qwert City hues?

Pi Pie

Is it by some cosmic design that Albert Einstein’s birthday just happens to be today, 3.14, the same first three numbers of the famous pi ratio? I’m no physicist, but I think it’s great that geeks around the world are celebrating this irrational and transcendental number. Grab a slice and cheers to science!

Today in San Francisco, BUSH Street was renamed OBAMA. Perhaps this was done by the same folks who changed the signs a few years ago to PUPPET?
