I want slug videos!

(I wonder what music goes with slugs feeding?)

I dunno, did you ever live in Tallahassee or central Florida?

Nope.  I've just decided it means we both have good taste.

I'm in enterprise IT support, so although I find every OS useful, I'd have to say that none of them have risen to the level of "pain-free."

Ah, but there is pain, and then there's suffering.

Part of the problem is that I generally feel that not having a working flash player is a feature rather than a bug for me. I'd normally be all "one way or another I'll get a peak at it this weekend" but my project backlog is particularly long right now.

Install VLC.  I've yet to find a file type it wouldn't play.

It's Flash video.  Make sure you have at least Flash Player 8 installed on your system.  If you can play other YouTube videos, you should be able to play the MG&KF video from that site as well as the other video files I post to my own site.



Yes, I know it's Flash (we hates it, but it's so tasty...) 

VLC will play Flash.  I'm not sure if there is a version for 64 bit though, as I haven't made that jump yet.

Oh, and having promised slug videos... This is a clip of one of my animals feeding. This is pre-procedure, mostly getting control data so I have something to compare their feeding behavior to after I've done weird things to their poor little mouths. It's kind of in a backbend, with it's mouth at the top of the dish and its underside showing. (They learn to make it easy for me to feed them pretty quickly.)

Aren't they though? A former grad student in the department (as of this week off post-doccing at CalTech!) kept trying to get me to post a video entitled "Swallow - and Rejection!" (rejection of course being what they do when they decide that it wasn't edible after all.

...and yet my PI is really not comfortable with me using condoms as material for the construction of soft body robotics. (I think if I ever get the tentacle porn thing working, I might give the patent to the lab as a gift. I mean, the lab needs the money, right?)

Condoms are also used to make stage intestines.

They can also keep your matches dry and the mud out of your gun muzzle.

A thousand helpful uses.

I read that first as "mustaches".  Very different image.

And to waterproof microphones to capture the sounds of river dolphins, according to Douglas Adams.

Also, for those who follow my Twitter, the thing I was doing last night that I couldn't talk about on Twitter was my latest adventure in Mad Gastronomy!  Y'see, there's this sex toy review blog, Hey Epiphora (probably not safe for work), which is running a contest called What Would You Do for a Pure Wand?  And I entered, and said what I would do for a Pure Wand was cook a four course meal and shape everything like sex toys, and since I was selected as a finalist, I was actually supposed to do this.  I didn't think I was going to have time after all, as the deadline was today, but then last night, I got an email from Epiphora saying she hadn't received a single entry, and I decided to just get it done.  I spent about three hours on it.  You can view the pictures without explanation here (the top six or so pictures, possibly not safe for work), or you can check out the blog itself tomorrow to get all the detailed descriptions of exactly what I made.  I'll put up a link then.

I promise.  Despite having no shame in talking about these things publicly on the internets, I keep the actual objects well-hidden, generally.
Still believe I did that?
