If I have learned anything by listening to radio and podcasts is that women talking into microphones stink on ice. She basically just repeats what the guys say and adds nothing to the conversation. Sorry I sound so mean about this, it just makes me mad.

The New Job:
1) Takes at least an hour, if not more, off my daily commute
2) Small company, ~80 people or so
3) 10% raise
4) Casual dress code - I get to wear shorts & t-shirts and the like
5) Actually a .NET shop, but I still get to ply my java skills + explore some other stuff.
I'm stoked!

"Bagman" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2nBUHIHeSA
WARNING: OVER THE TOP VIOLENCE AND GORE. Along the lines of the Black Knight sequence in Holy Grail, you know. Some of it actually made me cringe, that's hard to do. Anyway, between this wonderful film and Banlieue 13, we can now call them "French fries" again.

*****SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT SEE THIS SEASON'S FIRST EPISODE AND LAST NIGHT'S SHOW******
If Hank & Dean are just clones, they have more on hand, and they have a habit of getting killed anyways, why is it a big deal to save them?

Coming from a place like Winnipeg, the openness and ubiquitousness of China's sex industry has come as quite an eye-opener for me. I'm in Hangzhou right now. They say that In Heaven there is Paradise, but on earth there is Hangzhou and Suzhou. Walking along almost any street here and passing the numerous "hair salons" consisting of 6-10 pretty girls lounging on couches in the front with partitioned rooms/beds in back seems to suggest that they were not talking about the beautiful West Lake in the middle of the city. Unknowingly, I walked into one (hey, when a beautiful girl beckons you, you at least investigate the circumstances) and learned that a massage was $7. Sex with any of the girls, $20. There are at least 5-6 of these places per city block, on nearly every block. All with cute girls lounging on couches in front, all with the same coloured lighting and posters on the wall. It's quite surreal.

whats up with this SLI shit? What kind of performance increases can you expect? 2x the frames per second? back before all of you newbies were using computers, there was 3dfx SLI and it was queer. but it increased frames 2 fold.
does the new nvidia shit do the same, or is it marketing bs and you buy another $600 card for like 20 more frames?

from AOL?!?!?
AOL has cobranded Kaspersky (KAV) 6.0 and is giving it away for free, even without an AOL account, for 12 months.
It is missing the proactive and web-scan modules, but still does the two most important: on-access and on-demand. Otherwise, it is Kaspersky goodness, with multiple updates per day and the most updated signatures of any AV.
Anyone using AVG or Avast (or hell, darned near anything but KAV or NOD32) should consider changing over. It is very lightweight (8-22MB depending on usage) and very good (see http://www.av-comparatives.org/).

Lots of talk about giving to the community and so on...
We want people to see how games are built. We want people to learn how to build new games. We want people to do innovate things that nobody is expecting. We want people to surprise the industry with new genres and new gameplay styles. We want to see the equivalent of the Sundance for games. We want to see more creativity. We want to make games, and game development fun. We want to lower the barriers to entry and we want more people to participate.
I’ll talk more about how we intend to achieve this tomorrow.
So they gearing up to give away the whole thing?

So. I am about to fight Alma. Upon returning to the monastery from the world below and to the altar room only to get a weird feeling about the place, I consulted the guide I'd been using to find out: Alma. Time for my introduction to manhood, amirite?
Let us see what happens.
