"Swine Flu Detected A Mile From My House" or "We're All Gonna Fucking Die!"

So, finally, swine flu has come to my town.  I just want to say to the evil children at the elementary school that have finally brought swine flu to the reality that is my life....fuck you!  And laugh all you want, if I get swine flu, I'm going to each and every house of my friends to "share" in the magic with them.  Fuck all of you, I'm taking you all with me.

Heavy Boots Keep Us All From Floating Away

A funny blogpost that I think is pretty accurate. Roughly, the guy talks about how very smart people can just sometimes make boneheaded assumptions that make sense in a certain tight logic but completely ignore reality. In this instance, the guy explains an exchange with a philosophy professor that thinks that the only thing that kept the astronauts from floating away when they were on the moon was "heavy boots." I smell a Sonic Youth song coming on.

I Can't Decide If This Is Really Cool Or Really Retarded Part 2

This is an article by an anonymous wife of a CEO of a major company that has accepted TARP funds from the government. On the one hand, it's cool that she's trying to manager her image as well as her money needs, understanding that appearances are important for public trust as well as basic decency in these times. On the other hand, virtually everything she says is likely not all that true if you were to look at the actual facts. I'm willing to bet she's bought more than two things this year. And while it's cool that she points out that her family is not really hurting from the financial crisis, the amount of money that it's likely her husband makes annually, even after a reduced portfolio, is probably so high that all of her concern is purely just image-management, as there is little reason for her to be strapped for any cash (it's been suggested that the author may well be one of the larger bank's CEO's wife such as Citigroup or some such). What those people make for getting fired is disgusting, so how they're doing when they don't get fired is likely a lot better, especially with a government backed guarantee. So, if she really is eating out a lot less these days because she thinks that's going to make a dent in her financial woe's, she's retarded and it may be indicative of the level of obscene wealth she had before the crisis. So, I'm on the fence about this one.

My Current Favorite Site(s): The Tut's Suite

Currently, my favorite site is actually a number of sites owned by the same people.  It's the Tuts+ suite of sites.

Tut+ sites are a set of sites that are completely dedicated to tutorials on a number of artistic development software, with each area having it's own subsite dedicated to it.  So, there is photoshop tutorial site, an audio software site, a website developer site, an video After Effects site, an illustration site, etc.   It's all pretty sweet.

I use the photoshop and audio tutorials a lot, only I don't have even a fourth of the programs they list on audio tuts, so it's more like I just look at it to wonder what I would do if I had that equipment. But still, it has some good stuff about the basics of recording.  In addition, a lot of free loops for garageband and whatever.  The photoshop site has a lot of free brushes and textures, etc.

Let the Holy Trinity of Whining, Obama-Hatred, and Anti-semetism Commence

It was announced today that Barack Obama will be the first president to hold Seder at the White House for Passover.   I fully expect the crazies to come out of the woodwork and be not so subtle about their antisemitism.  Let the good times roll.

On the other hand, with the amped up gun confiscation and tyranny rhetoric coming from loonyville recently and some of the horrible actions that have occurred partly in response to such echo chamber nonsense, perhaps I should take this a bit more seriously.

Douchebag Propaganda About Gay Marriage

After the recent overturning of an Iowa law that bans same-sex marriage, the wackjobs are out in full force.  Apparently, hating gay people isn't a strong enough message anymore and neither is the idea that people that have no relation to you should be forbidden from doing what they want in their personal lives.  No, now the wackjobs have chosen a new tact.  Not only are queers going to be able to marry, they're going to take away YOUR right to marry.  They're going to get heterosexual marriage outlawed.  Worse, they may even be trying to outlaw heterosexuality itself.

This is the douchiest piece of propaganda I've seen in a while. Has it really gotten this pathetic?

Robot Love Goes Horribly Wrong (Meaning I Will Likely End Up Dating This Robot)

The robot takeover is eminent.  Kenji shall lead the charge.  This episode has a great deal of potential for the research of psychobitches and dudes who beat their wives.  Regardless, this paragraph says it all about Kenji, a Japanese robot created to love:

The trouble all started when a young female intern began to spend several hours each day with Kenji, testing his systems and loading new software routines. When it came time to leave one evening, however, Kenji refused to let her out of his lab enclosure and used his bulky mechanical body to block her exit and hug her repeatedly. The intern was only able to escape after she had frantically phoned two senior staff members to come and temporarily de-activate Kenji.

For the record, I believe they should not have modeled Kenji on any of my ex-girlfriends.  Read the rest here.
