A photo with an explicit view of the female genitalia. Particularly, but not restricted to, close-up shots with legs akimbo.

The time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings
Calloo-Callay, No work today!
We’re cabbages and kings

People who publish vidcasts or podcasts should know the difference between a forward slash, aka a slash, aka “/”, and a backslash, aka “\”. Backslashes are NOT used in URLs, when are people going to stop saying “go to http colon backslash backslash domain dot com backslash”?

grumble…

What is it with this month?

Things I don’t like:

• Twitter, aka the I-already-know-more-than-I-care-to-about-you web two point oh app.
• Lol{insert domesticated animal here}s. It is no longer cute.
• Spore, aka the in-trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone-we-became-nothing-to-nobody game. Did I buy it? Nope. Am I glad? Absolutely. Loved antispore, though.
• Politics. Hurry and elect someone already.
• Leo Laporte and his plethora of podcasts. If I accidentally stumble upon another one of his lame Visa ad spots I think I might jam pencils into my ears.
• Apple fanatics; especially everyone who owns an iPhone. The iPhone owners of today are same douche bags who were the hybrid drivers of yesterday, and the popped-collar douche bags of the high school era.
• Web comics. Everyone is doing one. 1% of them are funny. xkcd is not in the 1%.

Things I can’t say that I don’t not dislike:

• StackOverflow, a great way to get once-off dev questions answered in a timely fashion. This is what Expert Sex Change could have been, were it not so Expert Sex Changey. I actually really like their ideas of community moderation, it reminds me of something I had worked up a few years back and never finished.
• Bowling, 212 is my high game as of last weak in our league. Hoping to get a 225 this season.
• The onion, especially their video podcast. Great stuff.
• Game podcasts, I’ve yet to find one I haven’t enjoyed listening to.
• Basketball, maybe my work team will win a game this season…
