Things that I find entertaining
Techster. Think “techie-hipster”. Exhibit A:
Using a cell phone, while wearing google glass, while riding a segway, while at SxSW. I believe this deserves another neologism: the quadfecta.

Still, this isn’t worse than the hot-pink sequined suit jacket that made G crack up when we first got off the train downtown…
Now, the world seems to be filled with slow-moving people taking pictures of stupid shit.
So every month or so, I try to dump all the bookmarks I made, especially for things I didn’t have time to comment on at the moment of discovery…
Our wedding might NOT HAVE to be a destination wedding.
I wonder how long we would have to wait?
So, G went to her first Valentine’s day dance. We had a calm, quiet dinner, then went home and listened to every possible permutation of the “I Love You Song” from “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” (which Cy played keyboards for last week). That was his 6th production of that show. I’ve seen every one of them, and I always judge that show by “How Fast can you make Magic Foot pass” and “How good is The I Love You Song.”
By those standards, last week’s show was awesome! I truly enjoyed myself — as did G and her friends that she brought. Anna and Tammy and the rest of the teachers helped the cast and crew bring the most out of that show — which is, most decidedly, not easy.
But you know what I want to see? I want to see a version of that show where Cy gets to direct. The phrase “I think he takes out on me what he wants to take out on you…” needs a touch of anger — along with fear and submission.
I’m not even mentioning his demand to honoring the pause that “Don’t talk to me about stamina, Carl” deserves…
No. Not talking about that on 14-Feb…
So, not only are Cy and I getting married, BUT you’re losing the USA in a big, BIG way.
For those of you who really think that Natalie Grant was being “brave” for walking out on the Grammy’s (heh, I initially mis-typed that is “Granny’s”), may I suggest a few other places you might feel more welcome?
First of all, go enjoy the Olympic games at Sochi. According to their Mayor, no fags there! So: descend, my straight AND narrow hordes! Descend upon Sochi! (Go ahead — show them that there are closeted Bi folks!)
Then — oooo! — Saudi Arabia! No fags (but plenty of post-op-transexuals — women, in the eyes of the Wahabist!) You know what else you’ll love about the Saudis? No women drivers! (OK, OK, no PRE-OP women drivers!)
But honestly, if you’re a true — and I do mean TRUE — libertarian? There’s no place better than Somalia! Taxes? NONE! Goernment regulation? NONE! Personal freedom? Whatever you can defend with your own night! Now THAT’S the true Ayn Randian experience! (Holy crap, I sound like a travelogue!)
Finally, Uganda: you and your friends worked SO hard to be allowed to kill me there (should I ever be SO stupid as to go!) howsabout you go there for me instead?

To Cy’s dismay, this includes the opening and closing ceremonies. The advertisers supporting gay-bashing will NOT get my eyeballs.
Remember that these are folks who are advocating that G be taken away from Cy and myself. Even when I make G do homework she doesn’t want to do, she disagrees with them.
The funniest part? As soon as I got my work phone, I had to get a photo of my rental car to use as a background:
Apparently, below “economy”, there is a “hilarious” class…
You know, as much attention as the recreational pot in Colorado story is getting, you would think it was mandatory, and that by this time tomorrow, the only other surviving industry in the state will be pizza delivery.
It’s been much too long since I’ve cleaned out my bookmarks folder: here is the result:
If UNIX Were a Religion – Slashdot.
Speaking of which, does anyone know an easy way for me to get virtual desktops on a mac? I’m really quite used to a 4×3 setup, where the top left desktop is the web browser and all the rest are full-screen terminal windows.
… a pox on the house of the first person to point out that next year we will have a teenager.
I just went through the house turning off unused lights.
Go ahead – ask me if money grows on trees!
Wand re-orchestration is complete. The conductor score PDF is designed to be printed on legal-sized paper, but auto-resizes as needed. It was going to legal paper, but the tray was marked as letter. Or, as I now call it, barely legal.
You can’t fix stupid, but you can bill for it.
Obviously, the context is IT consulting, not politics. But now that I think about it… How much did Cruz make, and how much did it cost America?
