vrijdag 8 oktober 2010 Up at 3:34. Turn on France 24,. Top story - Chinese Dissident Liu Xiaobo Wins 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. I guess that he's on his 4th prison term until 2020. The Nobel Institute makes a good choice.

But the Chinese government is furious. Marie Callendar's Shrimp Scampi for breakfast.

Turn on Stephanie Miller. Good interview with journalist Dana Milbank about his new book - Tears Of A Clown: Glenn Beck and the Teabagging of America. Dana is a funny guy. Oh! I found her It Gets Better vid.

Shower. Streetcar to work. It's drizzling a little. 10 - Open space for disinfecting door knobs, then breaks for Elaine, Toni and Patty. 11 - Charmaine's lunch. The 5 Seahorses do a paint project out on the deck. I notice that Alice likes blue.

The Seahorses go in for lunch early. So, I join them. 12 - Renee's lunch. Only 4 Starfish. Cristin has gone home with a bad back. They eat their lunch. I'm alone with the four. Toby takes a while to go to sleep, but he's tired. Patty helps me with Anvi and Piper. Wow! They're asleep by 12:30. Thanks Patty. What a miracle. When Renee comes back, I go home early. With such low numbers, I'm no longer needed. Streetcar to d'town. Crave some Mae Phim Thai. Get some Swimming Rama.

Walk up through Occidental up to the Int'l District Station enjoying the upper 60s and partial sunshine filtering through the leaves. Catch a train to d'town. Drop off stuff. Turn on The World on KUOW. I love this story - The Belgium Brand. Beer! Let's visit Beer Planet.

Listen to NPR News. Oy! Bad tech news. It's in your airports, your coffee shops and your libraries: "Free Public WiFi." Report - The Zombie Network: Beware 'Free Public WiFi' The network has spread across the country thanks to an old Windows XP bug. Watch Star Trek The Next Generation - The Nth Degree.

After an encounter with a mysterious alien probe, Lieutenant Barclay begins to exhibit signs of profound intelligence, ultimately hooking himself into the ship's computer and hurling the Enterprise into apparent danger.

"Incredible! Production of neurotransmitters [in your brain] have jumped over 500%! I could not even guess your IQ level now."

"Probably somewhere between 1200 and 1450."
