Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter Funny how this song has re-emerged in the pop culture, first in an episode of Friends, and now on the blogosphere... Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby's Got Back." In Latin. magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri. (Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter.) quis enim, consortes mei, non fateatur, (For who, colleagues, would not admit,) cum puella incedit minore medio corpore (Whenever a girl comes by with a rather small middle part of the body) sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos (Beneath which is an obvious spherical mass, that it inflames the spirits) Link (Thanks, chris242!)

Boston, Week 2 For the second week in a row, I'm in Boston. Last week, it was BloggerCon; this week, it's a product strategy meeting for one of my clients. I'm sans family on this trip, and I miss them dearly. I thought this trip would be a nice break from the chaos of traveling with an 18-month old, but irony of ironies, on the flight out I sat next to a couple with a lap baby. Actually, it wasn't that bad. The child was very well behaved, and what noise he made didn't phase me in the least. It's 5am local time, and I've been awake now since 3. Jet lag is taking its toll. The first day of the meeting was great, and I anticipate the second day will also be productive, but lack of restful sleep may hinder my own participation. This last evening, we all went to Union Street Bar to dine and catch game 5 of the Boston/NY playoff series. J&T have us totally hooked on the Red Socks now, again so close to overcoming the stigma of trading the Babe away. If you find yourself in Newton, MA, stop by the Union and order a JAX beer. Norm has a beta Treo 600, the GSM version. It looks great, not much bigger than my small Nokia. No BlueTooth, but you can add that via an SD card... the question is, will that then allow the Treo to use a BlueTooth headset? Boy I hope so, because I'm developing a serious want for one of these. 2:13:08 AM    trackback []
