The effects of fear and our diminished existence
Posted in Misc by Chris at 16:29
One graphic nicely sums up our age of irrational and overcontrolling fear. We’re doing it to ourselves, people.

Wanna buy a house?
Posted in Misc by Chris at 21:09
The Humphrey Estate is on the market. For a mere $48 mil. (outside of Atlanta, of all places)
Check it out, though, it’s … remarkable.

What’s your traveller IQ?
Posted in Games, Misc by Chris at 16:37
(their widget sucks, so you’ll just have to go there by clicking)
I can go to 11. Best location was 13 8 4 3 km from the target (St. Petersburg) The map needs to be bigger (in terms of pixels), for sure.
Update: Finally made it to level 12 (traveler IQ of 130, 553,000 points). Hooray for me!

Xmas Gifting
Posted in Gifts, Misc by Chris at 19:17
Anyone wanting to get me anything should instead donate time, money, or effort to a non-religious charity. I have some suggestions if you don’t know any.
If you want to donate in accord with my wishes, it would be Medicins sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders

The troof

Dipshits who need to speed have small dicks
Anti-speeding ad wags fingers
An Australian anti-speeding TV ad features young women making hand gestures at a speeder that imply the target has a small penis.The campaign features young women, an elderly woman and other young men not in the drivers seat wiggling their little fingers in a gesture that implies the speeder is poorly endowed
Gee… if only I could recall whom this brings to mind. Hmm. Nope. Wow. Drawing a blank here.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that
Posted in Misc by Chris at 21:10
Sorry, there’s been a job search going on and big networking changes at work made the blogging more difficult (well, sorta. I was also burnt out).
But … I’ve got a new job… which will keep me super busy and I’ll be a Very Important Person and all that now, but also requires moving to a whole new area where I figure I’m going to have nothing to do in the evenings except comment about the world. And how hot it is there.
Like, seriously hot.
Have I mentioned it’s hot yet? Because it is. Supposedly. But I trust those in the know. And they say it’s hot. So… hot! Hotty hot hot hot. This kind of hot:
Not Jessica Biel-kind of hawt. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Anyhoo, I’ll be back, bitches. Prepare yourselves.

Karma
Choosing your own reality
Free will

Hope
Nothing like having a noveau riche climber obsessed with ostentatious displays of prosperity and having ‘made it’ with one-half your brains and one-third your talent being in a position of gatekeeper to your career. Frustrated? Moi? Ohhh… a tad.

Food Pix and Recipes
Posted in Misc by Chris at 12:15
Was trying to figure out something interesting to cook and happened upon Tastespotting, which has tons of nice pics of food and recipes on how to make them.
Thought I’d share.
