Er... or something.

It appears that somewhere in the world, the cool hip-hop lovin' kids are impressing their homies by wearing my name emblazoned across their chest/back. Wow, guys, I'm touched! (Not like that, you cheeky little monkeys!)



And what's better, you can buy this stuff online! Cool!!

It's generally a bad idea, if one is covered in a flammable gel as part of a medical treatment, to then light up a ciggie - the resulting flames are usually bad for one's health.

Update: And indeed, a Darwin Award is now under consideration.

Article on teaching teenagers to be happy, from the Guardian.

I wish adults would spend more time learning how to be happy, and that more bosses would decide that happy employees were important. Instead, we have this mad mindset that says happiness in the work place is obviously a sign of skiving, and should be stomped on at every opportunity. Commingle that with the desire to exert your alpha-(fe)male status by acting like a twat and ensuring that everyone around you gets a piece of the shit you're spreading and you have the modern working environment.

Bollocks to that. I'm staying self-employed.

But I want this when it comes out.

him: you have no time for this: http://hannu.biz/letters/
me: probably not

[a few minutes later]

me: you're quite right. 197. that's pathetic
him: I got to 907
me: wow. i panicked

No one proof read this ad, did they?

Now... you have Suwdoku. And I promise you, that was not my idea.

Nice tits!

Couldn't help but open this one. Here's a snippet, with names removed to protect the quite probably guilty.

Request you denounce and prevent the XYZ Company impudently forcibly occupy intellectual property of Mr. ABC!

impudent XYZ CO.! impudent Mr CEO of XYZ! impudent! impudent!! exceeding impudence!!!

XYZ and CEO are transnational scoundre!

Does XYZ dare to deny openly? It does not dare, absolutely does not dare. With ironclad evidence before it, what qualification does it has to deny? There is a proverb saying “Qui non improbat, approvat”. Without open objection, XYZ is openly admitting itself to be a transnational scoundrel, trampling on the human and national dignity of creditors.

repudiate a debt + vilify = scoundrel
repudiate a debt + vilify + threaten = impudently forcibly occupy

I think I may use this as an email boilerplate for whipping up support on digital rights issues. Impudent! Impudent!! Exceeding impudence!!!

Try it sometime. (And have a giggle whilst you're at it.)

Miaow! Best pics ever, specially the one of the roundhouse kick at the very end. (Thanks Dan.)

From blog depression?

...relatively recently, that I would date no one but another geek. Weirdly, it seems I'm not alone. There's even a book, ffs.

Well, you know what they say. The geeks shall inherit the earth. (...the live, and the neutral.)

... or on the London Underground.

Hugh's started up a wiki for bloggers looking for work, love, or blog consultants. Great idea - perfect for the hResume microformat too, once it gets up and running (microformat = way to format structured data online in a human readable form, so that we can read it but web apps do cool shit with it too).
