You Ever…

…sit at your desk and realize that you have a bunch of stuff to do.

But, you don’t want to.

Something inside begs you to read every article that’s unread in NetNewsWire.

Just one more cat picture.

Hey, I think I need to re-write some code on my personal website…

…nah.

That never happens to me either!

Wow. We Didn’t Explode

The collider didn’t destroy half the planet as many had predicted.

GENEVA (AP) — The world’s largest particle collider passed its first major tests by firing two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile (27-kilometer) underground ring Wednesday in what scientists hope is the next great step to understanding the makeup of the universe.
After a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on a computer screen at 10:26 a.m. (0826 GMT) indicating that the protons had traveled clockwise along the full length of the 4 billion Swiss franc (US$3.8 billion) Large Hadron Collider — described as the biggest physics experiment in history.
