This might go into Leonardonics eventually, but it's a little too
new to do it right away: Josh and I came up with a new acronym: AEM,
Ass Extraction Method. It's how you come up with bogus constants
like the constants for the COCOMO equation: "We'll obtain that
data through AEM." Why simply "pull something out of [your] ass" when you can
"utilize AEM"? A message from the AEM Council.

Yesterday, the guys in the CSUA lounge were drooling over photos of the
booth babes at E3. I'm ambivalent about the whole booth babe thing.
Well, "ambivalent" is not the right word. I feel uncomfortable about it in
two different ways. First is the standard way. Second is the way in which
they remind me of the refrigerator booth babes of the 1950s and 1960s.
"Miss Betty Firnesse and the new Westinghouse!" and all that.
Refrigerators, cars, computer games: what happened here?
One of the non-bands I fronted in high school was called "Jerry Mavis and
His Amazing Trained Seals". My stage name was a mix of Jerry Mathers and
Mavis Beacon.

Remember Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing? The lady on the box (presumably Mavis Beacon) was a very
dark black lady. I'm looking at an ad for the latest version and the
lady on the box has much lighter skin and looks more Hispanic.
Mavis Beacon is obviously a shapeshifter, or maybe a fictional character of some kind.
