Three quick and dirty pictures

But first ask yourself: Is George Bush a Sith Lord?


Guys play with Barbie™ Dolls too. Do you know what you're looking at? Ever start something and then change your mind half way through?

Asking for trouble

Some friends of mine got caught stumbled upon doing a BME/HARD public nudity shoot. If that family's bike ride had timed a half hour later, they would have stumbled upon her with far less clothes and a series of colored ropes strung from nipple and genital piercings to trees. Oops!

Thanks a lot La Poderosa

In a repeat of the 2003 New Year's Party stunt, I may have once again broken my wrist, although there's a good chance I've just bruised the bone (not that a bruised bone is much fun). I'm a bit cut up as well from sliding down the street, but that's no big deal, and Mexican hospitals are really nice with much better (and faster) service that I'm used to north of the border. My doctor had a Canadian wife and his daughters live in Winnipeg; the hospital there has invited him to work there — “You've got to be kidding,” he told them. “I can barbeque for Christmas!”

I guess I was at Scar Wars after all!

Going around in circles

One of the “fun” things about programming is working out (and around) other people's bugs and quirks. It really blows me away how often sample code that ships with various tools has bugs (generally just typos) in it. Does this stuff not even get tested? And what kind of a madman globally declares and then uses non-standard values for constants like TRUE, FALSE, NULL, and so on? And what kind of lunatic uses functions with identical names to standard Windows API calls, meaning that if you want to make calls to both, you have to write a custom include file?

Don't even get me started on the amount of bizarre and unexpected output that you get from OSS libraries and tools that have been worked on by dozens of people… and it really puts the icing on the cake when the documentation says “you know, this isn't really very accurate, so if you want to know how to call this function, just read the source code instead.” Yeah, thanks, I think I'll just write it myself.

PS. I really wish I was at Scar Wars right now!

Jesus says swallow

So a couple entries back I commented on how 99% of the people out there claiming to be “Christians” are in fact in servitude of Satan (and not in a cool way), using their response to gay marriage (which is clearly permitted and supported in the Bible) as a litmus test. It got me thinking about how when you strip away the hatred and fear that's spread over it by the Church (a set of political organizations seeking power and wealth, not enlightenment and salvation), it's really rather radical religion.

I am assuming most people reading this know of the Song of Solomon, a series of erotic poems that make up a part of The Bible's Old Testament.


Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

My lover is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills.

Anyway, I came across a both fascinating and progressive site, Sex In Christ, which ask questions about oral sex and other issues that are rarely spoken of positively from the pulpit. The conclusion? Jesus wants you to have oral sex, but don't spit, swallow!

While the scriptural references it uses are valid, part of me thinks the site is a prank, but if it is, it's really very clever. (Truth is, it may well just be a scam to sell Viagra).
