another entry<\/b><\/u> – figured I’d finish a thought or two<\/p>\n

So I have been up for a while tonight, working and surfing. I felt like I
\nshould take a moment and give you an idea of what’s out there if you can’t\/won’t
\nsleep. I am going to try and avoid<\/b><\/i> the bullet list format this
\ntime – so forgive the rather twisted attempt at stringing all this together.<\/p>\n

Some idiots over at the Boston Globe have apparently
\n
\npopped a gasket<\/a>. They just can’t handle the fact that the USA might be
\nhelping anyone – because if we feel good about ourselves then we won’t listen to
\nthem whine about what bad people we are. Their big idea seems to be that because
\nwe like girls in bikini’s we’re no better than the Taliban’s torture of
\nuncovered women… or something. Some
\n

\ndiscussion is on Metafilter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

"Taliban rule has dictated that women be fully covered whenever they
\n enter the public realm, while a recent US television commercial for
\n ”Temptation Island 2” features near naked women. Although we seem to be
\n winning the war against the Taliban, it is important to gain a better
\n understanding of the Taliban’s hatred of American culture and how women’s
\n behavior in our society is a particular locus of this hatred. The irony is
\n that the images of sleek, bare women in our popular media that offend the
\n Taliban also represent a major offensive against the health of American women
\n and girls." –

They have all sorts of great stuff over at
\n

\nInstaPundit<\/a>… I never saw these guys before I but I like them.<\/p>\n

In a little further reading it turns out that "reasononline" brings
\n

\nus the news<\/a> that after 09.11.01 the people here int he USA seem to suddenly
\nthink it might be a good idea to hang onto the second amendment after all. You
\nheard me, the gun control lobbyists are running scared and don’t have any idea
\nwhat to do. So they have started trying to
\n

\ntwist the numbers<\/a> and make people look stupid. Yup, your too stupid<\/i>
\nto have a gun.<\/p>\n

Speaking of things I want under my bed,  it turns out that if you are in
\nthe military over in the desert you can
\n
em<\/a>ail
\na Playmate<\/a>. Sheesh… and all I get back are cease and desist letters from
\nHef.<\/p>\n

Ah, women… and the desire thereof. Too bad it looks like current culture is
\nturning out a generation of dweebs. The
\n

\nWashington Post has all the horrible details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"the Kopi Luwak story" – let’s talk abut coffee and anuses. I’ll just let the
\nquote speak for itself.<\/p>\n

\n

"Unable to digest the coffee beans the Luwak graciously deposits them on
\n the jungle floor where they are eagerly collected by the locals. " –

And speaking of… nah, I won’t go there. Let’s just say it makes sense to
\ntalk about the FBI at this point. And hell no, I am not going to link to them. I
\ndon’t need that sort of attention. Anyway, they have all
\n

\nnew stuff to spy on you with<\/a>, and it seems they think they can sort of ooze
\npast the need for a wiretap order.<\/p>\n

What’s even more horrendous is this…<\/p>\n

\n

"At least one antivirus software company, McAfee Corp., contacted the
\n FBI on Wednesday to ensure its software wouldn’t inadvertently detect the
\n bureau’s snooping software and alert a criminal suspect." –

Obviously
\n

\n\/. has a lot to say<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the FBI is on our minds… let’s show you the flyer where they let you
\nknow that anyone questioning a policeman is probably a terrorist. [
front<\/a>][back<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Almost done! Let’s get technical!<\/p>\n

The first is this incredibly cool
\n

\nFlash toy<\/a>. It is a very cool demonstration in dynamics. Make sure you hit
\n"duo" before you are done. From the amazing folks over at
\n

\nWireframe Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, there is a great tool over at
\n
EasyRGB<\/a>
\nthat lets you do all sorts of color transformation and
\n

\nmatching<\/a>… including having the RGB values for many commercial available
\nproducts\/paints\/inks and a calculator for color
\n

\nharmonies<\/a> as well as d
ay\/night
\nshifting<\/a> effects.<\/p>\n

Night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
