Somebody has been watching a little bit too much of the new 24 series methinks.
The things that shut down Boston today, because everyone assumed these blinking things must be bombs, were in fact part of a marketing campaign by a Turner Broadcasting company,
… in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia…
… says NBC11.com.
See Zebro’s account above.
Turner said “oops”.

Was checking out one of my much-neglected Flickr groups, Cats in Odd Places, and realised there 2,795 photos inthere! Well done people. How many calendars does that makle hmmm?
Except it seemed to me that there was one woman doing most of the hard work and the men kind of just mumbled their protest. Hmm. Outside India House in London.
So I have been popping in and out of Second Life when I have time, but it is lonely and a bit boring when my mates aren’t there to play with. Yes, I could go and be sociable and meet new people, but they are all BORN YESTERDAY.
I have nothing against new residents – nothing at all. But you don’t have the same sort of shared cultural understanding developed over time, without a bit of hard work. Sometimes I just can’t be arsed to do the hard work. I want to have fun.
I picked up a new hud gadget, the Bijo Age Scanner, which tells me the names and SL ages of the first 16 avatars within 100m, together with their verification status. A * next to their name indicates that they are within 20m and within that range, they will hear what I am saying, obviously.
The oldest avatar I have “seen” so far has been a month old. Hmmm…
Would be an interesting little experiment to track…
So my absence has been inexcusable, but you all know what life gets like sometimes.
However, what IS inexcusable is that I failed to notice that somehow 55 comments have been waiting for my moderation – I used to get emails telling me when someone had commented, and I DID select no moderation!!
Jeez! Sorry people! Wow though… there I was thinking I was in an echo chamber (which, OK, I know I kind of am), but all you lovely people have actually been commenting!
So, apologies for that.
Normal services resumed – especially now that I have upgraded to the new blogger system which – finally – lets one use “labels”… sheesh – can someone standardised the language already?*
*Why am I suddenly speaking like an American teenager?
