After much poking and prodding, we’ve finally assembled a committee of various people from around the organization to consult with us on website matters. Its official name is the Web Task Force, or WTF for short.
It’s the little things that keep me going …

Google has released artist themes for your personalized Google homepage. There are a lot of great ones, but I recommend Edward Monkton’s. Yesterday I was greeted with monkeys and this morning this is what I saw:
Which is, you know, awesome. And it has just changed to the Pig of Happiness, so he’s got the full spectrum covered.

I think there’s a special kind of hell for these people, but I think that Malware authors creating threatening End User License Agreements is so ironic that it comes back around to a.w.e.s.o.m.e.
The help section of the latest version of the Zeus malware states that the client has no right to distribute Zeus in any business or commercial purpose not connected to the initial sale, cannot examine the source code of the product, has no right to use the product to control other botnets, and cannot send the product to anti-virus companies. The client does agree to “give the seller a fee for any update to the product that is not connected with errors in the work, as well as for adding additional functionality.”
…
It’s obviously difficult for the manufacturers of an illegal product to threaten legal sanctions against an infringer, but the Zeus authors give it their best shot. According to the EULA, “In cases of violations of the agreement and being detected, the client loses any technical support. Moreover, the binary code of your bot will be immediately sent to antivirus companies.” Frankly, “We’ll blow your kneecaps off and feed them to you,” might be a bit more effective as a threat, but I suppose it’s a bit hard to carry out that threat over the Internet.

I have some bad news for you: You walk wrong.
Look, it’s not your fault. It’s your shoes. Shoes are bad. I don’t just mean stiletto heels, or cowboy boots, or tottering espadrilles, or any of the other fairly obvious foot-torture devices into which we wincingly jam our feet. I mean all shoes. Shoes hurt your feet. They change how you walk. In fact, your feet—your poor, tender, abused, ignored, maligned, misunderstood feet—are getting trounced in a war that’s been raging for roughly a thousand years: the battle of shoes versus feet.

For Annette:
SAN FRANCISCO - What’s black and white and warm all over? A penguin in a wetsuit, naturally. Sounds like a joke, but it’s quite serious for biologists at the California Academy of Sciences, who had a wetsuit created for an African penguin to help him get back in the swim of things.
Pierre, a venerable 25 years old, was going bald, which left him with an embarrassingly exposed, pale pink behind.
Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of blubber to keep them warm, penguins rely on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to plunge into the academy’s penguin tank and ended up shivering on the sidelines while his 19 peers played in the water.
“He was cold; he would shake,” said Pam Schaller, a senior aquatic biologist at the academy.

This will change the way you think about Smurfs FOREVER.
I was researching the average height of a Smurf for an article and learned that Smurfs are often described as, “three apples tall.”
If you haven’t taken the paragraph break as an opportunity to think about that, please do so now.
That means Smurfs are about a foot tall. That’s up to your knees! I’ve always imagined Smurfs as, at most, one apple tall. Plus, then how do they live inside mushrooms?

Have you ever looked at something and new that sometime soon it was going to be common place?
I had that feeling when I saw this. I think that within a couple/five years it will be everywhere.

Yesterday, Gov. Bill Ritter signed a measure into law that will allow liquor sales on Sundays. It goes into effect on July 6th, just in time for my birthday.
The law has been in place since Prohibition ended. 75 fracking years, people!

I should preface this post by saying that I am not endorsing anyone for President at this point. All I care is that whoever wins is a democrat.
However, this made me laugh. (refresh the page a couple of times)

I wish you all were here with me in Denver, where fat, fluffy flakes are falling from the sky; where there are fluffy kitties all warm and sleepy; where the cinnamon coffee is brewing, where there’s nothing to do but cuddle up under warm blankets.
Happy Holidays!
