Secret blogs

It is past 10 on a friday night and I am posting about some blogs. One secret blog that has recently come to light is http://mikelove.wordpress.com/2007/01/. Another secret blog is http://boccebragadoccio.blogspot.com/. The final secret blog is unbeknownst to me. But I will keep you loyal readers posted.

Bad press, new blog

So after this blog got emailed out to all my coworkers, I had another embarrassing work thing happen where I got a lot of negative press on tech crunch and other blogs. You can check out the video: www.techcrunch.com/2007/02/12/powerhype-at-powerset. The upshot is that I realized that I need a blog that I can point people to that is not this one :). I haven't been showing it to many people yet, but you can check it out at www.artificial-artificial-intelligence.com. Leave some comments and tell me what you think!

Privacy

So my CEO, Barney, emailed out that last post to the whole company. But you know what? I'm glad. Yesterday I was reading my coworker's blogs and I was like wow, I have connections with them that I never would have known about. I don't want to be a different person at work and with my friends. So there it is. And here's another picture of me looking like an idiot in Costa Rica, with two ladies who run the Sigma Squared salon in Victoria, CA. (www.sigma2.ca).

Powerset, Bondage

Everyone at work is fighting about what programming language they like so I'm gonna take a break to post on this blog.

Powerset had a big press release and an article in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/09/technology/09license.html?ref=technology. Meanwhile all the bloggers found all the blogs of people in the company except mine. It's funny how personal some of them are: for example Tim, currently my manager and friend from Yahoo has this blog that I never knew about: http://timconverse.com/blog/.

I never write my full name here so that it will never come up in search engines, but now I'm wondering, do I really care? One of the best things about my new job is that my coworkers are closer to being friends. I can joke about smoking pot, looking at porn etc. So maybe it doesn't matter. If they don't like it they can always pretend they didn't see it.

On that note, last night Tess and I went to a David Lynch movie at the Castro and then an afterparty at the current studios of kink.com, a bondage porn site. It was crazy all the different stages they had set up. The fake jail, the fake stable, etc. I hope I can figure out a way to go check them out after they move into the armory (http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/0-0&fp=45ccf6892c7f6286&ei=ZMrMRa20LojyoQL44f3WBQ&url=http%3A//cbs5.com/local/local_story_039205738.html&cid=1113400426)

All Asians look the same

Take the test to see how racist/ignorant you are.

Considering that both my roommate (from Beijing) and I scored a 6 out of 18, I think it's safe to say that all Asians really do look the same.

at my job we are going to put it in babies!

Dairy and feeder cows in this country and around the world are given this large, almost fist-sized magnet, which is forced down their esophagus and lodges in one of the four stomachs, the rumen, to prevent or treat “farm machinery” disease. These ruminants eat metal objects like baling wire, barbed wire, nails, which can perforate the intestine and cause disease or death. This is prevented by the metal objects sticking to the magnet. At slaughter, the magnet is retrieved and often reused. This is common practice in the United States and most parts of the world.
