A while back, a friend told me about a Youtube showing how a Traffic Shockwave is created. Have you ever been driving along, minding your business, and then traffic suddenly comes to a standstill? You keep driving, hoping to see some reason for the logjam. And what do you see? Nuthin'. Why? Well, who knows why...but this video shows it actually happening:
Cool, huh? So basically, this stuff happens because people don't know how to hold their position in traffic.

I've set up a new page for Submissions. Obviously, I love to write, but I'm occasionally short on topics or content. Please don't let this happen. I'm looking for suggestions for Too Funny Tuesdays, Theology Thursdays, and Foney Fridays. I'll even take just random web-gleanings upon which I might Muse on a Monday. Just go over to the Suggest a Topic link (top-right) and fire away (or click the link in this sentence if you're really lazy).

In the course of my workday, I read a lot of specifications and datasheets (and so infected with them is my mind that I've asked The Fair Elaine about them in my sleep). You know your day is off to a good start when you get a review copy of a new datasheet sent out specifically to help you get your work done and you end up sending back an email with this line in it:
"In short, my feedback is that I don’t find that this datasheet helps me complete my work in any way."
Yeah, it's gonna be a good day.
