The Top 15 Han Solo Quotes You Need to Use in Regular Conversation :

We at DoubleViking consider Han Solo to be the apex of all that is manly. He’s our number one role model, he’s a badass in his own right, and his sarcastic, roguish presence helped make the original trilogy vastly superior to the crappy prequels. He’s so cool, in fact, that we have to suggest you model your life around him – or, at the very least, use some of his quotes in everyday conversation. So, without further ado, here are the fifteen best Han Solo quotes (and when to say them), ranked in order of importance.

I’m not too proud to admit using almost all of these quotes on a regular basis.

His reputation on the line, contractor finishes repair early, and I-580 opens:

For a man whose confidence in his construction company borders on braggadocio, C.C. Myers was noticeably nervous on the ninth night after he promised to rebuild the fire-damaged MacArthur Maze in just 25 days.

Moments earlier, he had brashly predicted that his company would reopen the Interstate 580 connector a week sooner than his original ambitious prognostication — and in about one-third of the time forecast by Caltrans.
…
Twenty-six days later, I-580 opened at 8:40 p.m. Thursday — in time for this morning’s commute and in line with Myers’ prediction.

This is a fascinating read, about how government red tape and bureaucracy were simply eliminated, agencies cheerfully worked hand-in-hand with suppliers and contractors and the work got done early and under budget. Why aren’t these people doing all our freeway and bridge construction? Should the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge really have taken 25 years (estimated to open in 2014, 25 years after the Loma Prieta quake) to plan and build?

I noticed this disruption last night on the way home, but figured it was weather or sunspots or something.
XM Restores Radio Service:

XM Satellite Radio restored service Tuesday after a software glitch knocked out the signal from one of its four satellites and disrupted service to many of the company’s 8 million subscribers for about a day.

The problems began around noon Monday, the company said. They initially expected to fix the problem after a few hours but service remained disrupted for about 24 hours.

‘The problem occurred during the loading of software to a critical component of our satellite broadcast system, which resulted in a loss of signal from one of our satellites,’ the company said on its Web site.

So they pushed an upgrade without, it seems, adequate testing, and it failed as soon as it was deployed. Whether your software enables sharing your favorite iTunes playlists* or broadcasting 170 satellite radio channels to millions of subscribers, it’s important to test before upgrading!

SF Sketchfest Presents RiffTrax Live

with Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy of Mystery Science Theater 3000!
Return engagement! NEW film!

In this special return engagement, the merry madmen behind television cult-favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 will storm the stage and do what they do best: provide glib and hilarious live commentary to a feature-length B movie!

SF Sketchfest presents Michael J. Nelson (MST3K’s lovable “Mike Nelson”), Bill Corbett (robot “Crow” and alien “Brain Guy”) and Kevin Murphy (bubble-headed robot “Tom Servo”) as they deconstruct a movie they have handpicked for this occasion.

They’ll be at CFI in San Rafael on Sunday night and Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco on Monday night. It’s actually easier for us to get to San Rafael on a Sunday than SF on a weeknight, so we’re going to the Sunday night show.
