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.

Road to Nowhere

This is what they call a "hanging bridge," basically a tourist attraction that gets you to walk through the rainforest with other loudmouth American's shouting "How come I ain't seen a goddamned monkey yet?"

But it's a cool picture eh?

Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Buzz-Doughnuts.html

"But with waistlines and anxiety already expanding across the nation, some observers already question whether it's wise to combine two key sources of these problems -- caffeine and calories."
I challenge you to watch this whole thing

Irish dancing

So, I know I haven't posted anything from Dublin yet, but here's a quick video of my favorite street performer:



It's no Riverdance, but it's just as enjoyable.

Hope everyone's doing well!

NORMAN, Oklahoma (AP) -- The pilot of a TV news helicopter used the wind from the aircraft's rotor to push a stranded deer to safety after it lost its footing on a frozen lake and could not get up.

A small crowd had gathered to watch the deer struggling, its hooves repeatedly slipping, near the shore of Lake Thunderbird around 4 p.m. Wednesday.

With the helicopter's camera rolling, KWTV pilot Mason Dunn used the wind from the rotor to push the deer, initially sending it into a break in the ice where the animal managed to hold onto the ice with its front legs. (Watch the deer slip, slide and glide )

Dunn then lowered the helicopter and the wind sent the deer sliding on its belly across the ice until it reached shore and scampered into a nearby wooded area.

I hate those internet surveys people send around, but this "autistic quotient" is awesome: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html. And I love that its published by wired. What do you get? I would love to see the scores for all the people I work with. I bet they're off the charts. Who has the highest at 832 capp? I'm guessing Mollie.

More Halloween

There are many more Halloween pictures to share with you all. They are coming....but I think this picture says a lot about the evening.

One year of blogging




I can't believe it's been more than a year since we started this blog. At least my relationship with Tess hasn't changed much.

Ameeth wins the best costume so far contest. His Inspector Gadget had a propeller hat and a go-go gadget arm that shot out at you. It was simple yet effective, five stars.

So many Halloween Pics

They're a comin'! And we haven't even celebrated real Halloween yet. If you can't guess the costumes above, here's a little help. Reebs is a Rhymenoceros demasked, making for a Flava-Flave. Mamie is a devil in a blue dress holding a dollar to tempt you. Mike is a Bowser deshelled and biting his finger seductively. And Lukas is Morpheus, the king of dreams, in badass mask-on mode.

Improve Ye City

This comes via Gridskipper, but I thought I'd post it here to get the word out. Another opportunity to vote on Bay Area stuff, but hopefully with more impact. Go to Partners in Preservation and vote for your favorite Bay Area historical site that needs some work. The winner will get a million bucks in restoration.

I voted for the sign restoration in the Tenderloin, because hey, whores like history too.

So expect a lot more of this sort of thing.
