Stop looking at me!...
A Nation of Voyeurs: "How the Internet search engine Google is changing what we can find out about one another - and raising questions about whether we should." [From the Desktop of Dane Carlson] 

Time for some reading...
So what am I doing tonight? I just got back from the public library, yes, I'm a card carrying member and plan on reading Essential Blogging. I couldn't find it at the local B&N or Borders but the library had it. Awesome.

Don't worry guys. I'll buy the book and add it to my collection.

 

An Emoticon is worth a thousand words...
You call that a smilie?. On Sunday, Giorgia sent me this informative link to understanding Japanese emoticons. They're pretty cute, and far more creative than ours, but the meanings don't quite make it here in the West. With the invaluable assistance of Minnie, I offer the following reinterpretations:

(^_-)db(-_^) "Ouch! Our earrings got hooked."

(.x.) "Damn, this underwire is really uncomfortable."
(.X.) "The Bower Bird makes a tight, curved nest out of thatched twigs and flowers..."

(*^_^*) "I lost both ears in the ring, fighting Tyson."

((((((^_^* Shrodinger's cat

p(^)(^)q "My breasts just fit on the office copier."

(^o) (/o^)/ "God, these American Idol auditions are excruciating!"
(^o) (/o^)/ "This week only! The Pirates of Penzance in an encore presentation."

(o|o) Pole dancer

(@_@) "I have got to stop these all-night Warcraft III marathons."
(@_@) "The headlights were the last thing he saw before the Porsche hit him."

(>_< ) "Doh! I left my ID back at the hotel."

(T_T) Alice Cooper

(._.?) "I have a huge scar on my head"
(._.?) "What does that mean, 'You look like Ziggy'?"

(p_-) Thurston Howell III

(>_< )( >_< ) "We knew the foam insulation on the Columbia was loose, but we had no idea it would explode. We're innocent. Totally. Don't look at us."

(-_-)zzz "I can hear my vibrator, but I can't find it.

(-_-; ) "I got my ears double-pierced today"
(-_-; ) "It's a gang tat. You wouldn't understand."

(._. ) ( ._.) "Dude, Spring Break fucking rules!" "Yeah. Boobs!"

(^)(^) "That's the last time I go braless through the frozen food section." [Davezilla.com - Excessive use of farce]

So much for not laughing my ass off today. My favorite?

 (._. ) ( ._.) "Dude, Spring Break fucking rules!" "Yeah. Boobs!"

 

What's up with THAT!...
Y'all wanna know what's been bothering me about this whole Columbia thing? It's not that the shuttle blew up, hell, they knew the risks. I mean, watch the launch scene in Armageddon and you'll understand.

What bothers me the most was when the head of NASA stepped forward to begin the press conference with, "I've notified the President and Tom Ridge..."

Whoa there! Since when did we elect Tom Ridge to the Presidency? Last time I checked it wasn't a two person job. And hey! What about the Vice President and the Secretary of State? If I was Cheney I'd be ripping someone a new asshole right about now.

 

In the...uhh....news...is this for real?...
Fake CNN Website Taken Offline. A website that generated phony CNN news stories has been ordered to close by the network giant. The site was only up for a week, but during that time it created more than its share of trouble and controversy. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News]

And in the real news giant penisis are running for public office. Oh wait! That's true! We call them politicians!
