Like, to a different state/country/whatever? Without having a job lined up or anything really in mind?
I'm tempted to move back to the west coast US..... but I miss Canada, and I've visited the UK a few times, and might like to move there too..... I'm a citizen of all 3 countries, so there is next to zero reason I can't.... and I'm wondering if I should. I don't fit in here very well. NY metro area is too aggressive for me I think.

A group of researchers have identified two seismic events that they think provide the first evidence of a previously undetected form of [strange quark] matter passing through the Earth.
Very interesting read for those interested in particle physics. I'm not sure how strange quark matter (meaning "matter composed of quarks of the strange/charm family" not "OMG weird matter!") would be stable though considering that strange quarks have a fast decay rate. Also, the reading mapped in the story doesn't suggest the object is moving at relativistic speeds, something I would assume would be necessary for an object like this to be stable. Still quite interesting.

If a gamma ray burst happens* within a few thousand light years of here all life on this planet is fucked. Two or three of these things are detected every day.
*I said happens because AFAIK no one knows what causes the things.

Yay coffee! Friggen wired.
I was messing around, replacing the CPU fan yesterday, and I accidentially plugged it in the wrong fan socket. On boot, the BIOS said in actual English "CPU Fan has failed!" and later on, "POST completed, now booting system." That is just too awesome.. it's almost like I can't wait for something to fail, so that it can tell me without all that cryptic beep-beep-beep'ing ;)

I think this quote sums it up best:
For the RIAA, there are no half measures: you're either with them, or against them. So even if you're risking having your ass blown off for your country, there's no mercy.
