This is excellent; someone turned the Tonight's Episode archive into a magnetic poetry set as a Christmas present for Leonard. Surprised by such a casual mention of "that magnetic rubber stuff", it turns out that you can actually buy magnetic printer paper very cheaply. Feed it through your printer, cut it out, and stick it to the ferrous white goods of your choice. Why hasn't anyone ever told me about this before?

[Tangential: this is why you should never ask a computer engineer onto a schoolchildren's "Ask a Scientist or Engineer" panel.]

Perl fiends; play the regular expression game, trying to come up with a regexp that matches highlighted sections of three given phrases. A good bit of exercise, right on the edge of that hazy programming/puzzle-solving boundary.
"We have rooms in ourselves. Most of them we have not visited yet. Forgotten rooms. From time to time we can find the passage. We find strange things... old photographs, pictures, books... they belong to us, but it is the first time we have found them."
Exorcising Ghosts - a collection of Murakami interviews and reviews, with an odd little cache of rather flat short stories, and links to other Murakami sites around the world. [via The View From Here]
