| Notice: GeekPress is back up and running, thanks to Paul! It's still a not-so-serious tech news blog, but the format is significantly looser. Diana, having given up programming for philosophy, has her own philosophical blog NoodleFood. More of her work can be found at DianaHsieh.com. |

| A 6-month old puppy swallowed a 15-inch kitchen knife recently. Amazingly enough, the puppy was only 18 inches long and did not appear to suffer any ill effects except for a little vomiting. The knife was removed safely, and the puppy is doing well. |
| The x-ray is unbelievable. |

| I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never again go out of town without full access to my server! |
