Oh, neat! It's an online barcode generator. (Thanks, Rannie, for the link.)

This from a Salon article where an airline pilot answers your questions:

Why am I asked to store my tray table for takeoff and landing?
So that in the event of an impact or sudden deceleration you don't impale yourself on it. Additionally, keeping the trays up allows for a clear path to the aisle during an emergency evacuation. The restriction on seat recline is for similar reasons. First, it restricts head and body movement, (the high seat backs lessen the severity of whiplash-style injuries), while also allowing for a fast dash into the aisle.

Typing the words "slacker lifestyle" into my beloved Google toolbar yielded a link to rikky.net, which features various posts pertaining to music, computers, silly links... wait a minute, am I there or here? Well, "there" has a bunch of stuff (Windows applications, plus funny MP3 files) that you can download for free. And the content is different. Something like that.

Speaking of slacker lifestyles, this has been fun and all, but I'm really gonna have to get my shit together once summer's over.
