Just had a pimento cheese chocolate from an Advent calendar that offers up a new - let's say un-traditonal - flavor every day. It actually works!

Yesterday was SPAM. That didn't.

Let's talk about #startrek S1E23 'A Taste of Armageddon.' Possibly my favorite so far - a proxy war via computer. But wouldn't it have been cool if Vendikar had long since perished, and the computer just carried on? #scifi #tos

Went to the movies today. Do you think it's possible to make snack bags and containers that don't crackle louder than the audio track? #crackle #crackle #crackle #crackle #movies

ahah IT WORKS look it's a C² dual quaternion B-spline!!

this is interpolating *poses* in dual quaternion form, coupling position and rotation, instead of treating them independently (this is a really neat thing!!)

Is it wrong that I want fresh #chilies through the winter?
