A Wolf Loves Pork

I think the Eameses would have liked this:

(Via A Near Life Experience, previously known as Spy’s Spice. Why that blog isn’t mega-famous I have no idea, because it is great.)

Oh Danny boy, oh boy oh boy oh boy

(I had almost entirely forgotten about this before Kathea posted it on Facebook. Thanks, Kathea!)

When you said you had a tender heart, I didn’t imagine…

Some valentine!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Hearts are meat
And so are you.

*cackle*

Hooray, I am using a pixel.gif to pass secret messages! Hello, blind friends! Okay, the deal here is that it's a computer-generated random cut-up of three Dilbert cartoons. In the first panel, a green demon sneezes violently and messily all over Dilbert. At least, I think it's Dilbert. I don't see much more than an excitable tie behind a spray of green goo. In the second panel, Dilbert's coworker Wally addresses a human-shaped mound of I-don't-know-what, asking it, 'What's up with that?' And in the third panel, coworker Alice is told by her doctor that she has Interface Poisoning and will die in a week. She looks less appalled than repulsed.
In some way that I cannot explain, this sums up my ancient history in the tech industry.

My del.icio.us bookmarks for November 24th through December 11th

These are my links for November 24th through December 11th:

  • Austenbook - Pride and Prejudice as a series of Facebook messages.
  • Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply - A decent source for oystershell lime and other amendments that are hard to find at the garden store — often in really big, fairly cheap bags. (Start a buying co-op for soil amendments?)
  • Transporting Broiler Chickens Could Spread Antibiotic-Resistant Organisms - “Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have found evidence of a novel pathway for potential human exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria from intensively raised poultry — driving behind the trucks transporting broiler chickens from farm to slaughterhouse.”
  • Design*Sponge: Paper Holiday - Gift Wrapping - Nifty, frugal ways to make a gift look extra fancy.
  • You Bastard: A Narrative Exploration of the Experience of Indignation within Organizations - “Our patience with forming interpretations and reinterpretations of others’ behaviour is not unlimited. The time comes when we lose interest in trying to understand, and conclude that another person is behaving in a way that is simply unacceptable. This paper explores the narratives that go with immoderate indignation, even for those best versed in the idea that they should attempt to understand the perspective of the other.”

Racism ends forever

If only!

Okay, maybe racism hasn’t ended forever. But I’m still thrilled that Obama’s headed to the White House.

Palinex, the miracle drug

The Weird Wide Web 16 Sep 2008 05:33 pm

My del.icio.us bookmarks for August 5th through September 16th

These are my links for August 5th through September 16th:

  • EzraKlein Archive | The American Prospect - Sarah Palin, whom John McCain has said knows more about energy than “probably anyone in the United States of America,” doesn’t actually know how much energy her own state produces.
  • ?Alaska Women Reject Palin? Rally is HUGE! « Mudflats - The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not including the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever in the history of the state.
  • Kermit Software Assists in Hurricane Tracking - Kermit still exists: “The EM-APEX float uses Embedded Kermit with an Iridium data modem, a Motorola model 9522. C-Kermit is used ashore on a Linux box with several serial ports and modems. The floats phone home, log in, then give shell commands to start C-Kermit for data transfer.”
  • Techskeptic’s Data Daily: Fractal Wrongness - Fractal wrongness: the state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. From a distance, a fractally wrong person’s worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any part of that person’s worldview, that part is just as wrong.
  • strawberry chiffon shortcake | smitten kitchen - This.
