Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 29, 2006 6:00pm PSTWe're just kinda cruising around here obviously through the holidays as we prepare for what we're hoping will be quite a 2007. I suspect this coming year will be the craziest one we've ever had as we hope to get extra sassy. Not Maarten playing 'will it fit in my butt' at Home Depot sassy but pretty far up there. (Not his butt)
- Well, we've got green ham now - Ford releases first car to blue screen - LCD TVs were hot - Apple scandal? What scandal?Lastly, remember how big bell was oh so evil and the government broke it up? Yeah they were kidding. Oh, some neutrality stuff though.

After the wedding was over she and I hung out for a while and I walked with her to her car. By this point I was too drunk to stand under my own power. She laid me down in her backseat. I figured she was just being nice and letting me rest. But in the quickest of seconds my skirt was up and my panties were down. Female tongue on clit is the hottest thing I've ever experienced. No wonder people turn lesbian. Or bi, for that matter. It just seems to make sense now. I woke up in the driver's seat of my car with a phone number written in Sharpie on my inner-thigh.
I love the vagina.

Don't get me wrong, it was amazing and good, but jesus christ. Wow.
Lem was one of my favorite characters out of the bunch. To see him go is a sad fucking day. I hope he comes back in at least flashback scenes or something, the guy was awesome.
I don't know how season 6 is going to play out, but I almost don't want to watch it now.

Given that I don't yet have a classic controller, can any games in the virtual console be played using the wii-remote? I know it won't have the features of it, but can I at least use it until I get a classic controller?

I know this doesn't show off anything great visually (deserts aren't exactly sexy in OFP), but man... knowing that each one of those soldiers is a human player is too damn cool.

That was from our OFP games earlier tonight.
Also, we were using the new custom ShackTac markers to track the fireteams/squads in-mission. From that same mission, here's what they looked like as we were sweeping through some forests:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet
The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia, known colloquially as the Yak Killer hornet), the world's largest wasp, is a native of temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. Its body length is between 27 mm (1.1 inches) and 45 mm (1.8 inches), with a wingspan of about 76 mm (3 inches). Queens may reach a length of 55 mm (2.2 inches).
...
The stinger of the Asian giant hornet is about a quarter-inch (6 mm) in length, and injects an especially potent venom that contains an enzyme so strong that it can dissolve human tissue. Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa University near Tokyo, described the sensation as feeling "like a hot nail through my leg."

Please help me test out my latest web app. It has to do with ranking programming books. Users rank their top 5 programming books for various categories, and the site aggregates the results, calculates a score, and displays the ranked lists of books. Users can leave comments about books, add books, etc.
http://www.programmingbooks.org/
I got a lot of great feedback from shackers a few weeks ago. I noticed that a lot of users just ranked their favorite books in the default category, and never clicked down into the specific categories. I've changed the UI and how the site works significantly in hopes of correcting this problem. If you tested and ranked books before, all of those rankings have been deleted.
Please don't give the URL out. The site is not ready for prime time yet. If this site works out well, I plan on using the same engine for all books, games, movies, etc.
I am not a designer. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site look better, please let me know.
