Serves me right for procrastinating: I found this photo on a
file-swapping site that I frequent, saved it and planned to post it
this morning, only to find that Xeni Jardin at BoingBoing had beaten me
to the punch. General humour is my turf, Xeni! Stick to your
zero-G/fetish posts and no one gets hurt!
I just received this from one “Nitai Gouranga”, whose email address is nitaigouranga@aol.com:
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ….
That which brings the highest happiness!!
I dunno, it doesn’t have the same ring as Badger Badger Badger.
I’d read that David Byrne had been getting into PowerPoint as an art medium lately, but this chat with Liz “mamamusings” Lawley was a total surprise:
Here’s a transcript for those of you who can’t see the image (a good number of you read me via RSS):
Liz: nearly fell off my chair
Me: Whoa!
Me: That’s hilarious!
Liz: guess he found it online. he was showing examples of both intentionally funny ppt and unintentionally funny
The Talking Heads were a big influence on me, so finding out that David Byrne used my stuff made my day. Thanks for the heads-up, Liz, and thanks to you too, David!
(My “Why I Dumped You” PowerPoint slide appears in my July 30th entry, The Breakup Style of PowerPoint.)
Update: Here’s the page for David Byrne’s exhibit, which is titled Trees, Tombstones and Bullet Points.
That time of the year is rapidly approaching…
Last year’s party included the now-infamous hot tub on a truck!
The 2004 edition of my birthday party takes place in a month. Details are forthcoming.
In the meantime, you may want to check out the photos from last year’s hot tub — check ’em out in either album or slideshow form!
Between spending the past couple of weeks working furiously on Tucows’ CCS Project and then flying to Boston to assist The Redhead with her 30th birthday celebrations, I’ve been rather busy. Regular blogging resumes tomorrow!
…since Skadz and I went out and painted Beantown red?
US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia recently spoke at Harvard and said the expected: that recent decisions protecting abortion rights,
upholding the legalization of assisted suicide and striking down
anti-sodomy laws represent a dangerous trend.
But he also said something unexpected: “I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged.”
For a man who’s this close to saying “the missionary position — not just a good idea, it’s the law!” this is quite surprising.
Clearly the man hasn’t seen The Ice Storm, and he must’ve been a total Poindexter when he attended Harvard.
