1. Come in
2. Kick serious ass
3. Go home

For some reason steps 2 and 3 can be quite troublesome… luckily today was one of those days that the checklist went well!

It’s obvious that GNU/Linux is a woman. She’s high maintenance, expects
everything to be given to her for free, and no matter what goes wrong…
it’s your fault.

I LOVE corner cases

A sad tale of technology dependence

I made sure nobody was ever going to guess this password. Not even me.

And then I immediately forgot it.

To quote Simpson Garfinkel:

Authentication systems frequently fail because they are actually based on something that you have forgotten, something that you have lost, or something that you no longer are. Performance-based biometrics (e.g. keystroke dynamics) fail when they are based on something that you could once do well but can no longer do, or something that other people can do consistently, but you do erratically.

These are hilarious! Flash Movies with elements from the 8-bit game era and others. Here are some I found neat.

Stumbled across this one. It’s all writings no pictures about one lady’s tale of being a porn store clerk. Not sure if it is true or not but it definitely is an interesting read.

Obligatory Passage:


I don’t think there should be any shame in masturbating, but I do think there should be shame in expecting someone with whom you are not very, very close to deal with a wad of your spooge

All I can say is… ewwwwww.
