Diversity Bingo
Kevin Ott was charged with the onerous challenge of coming up with a game to showcase diversity. My recommendation was charades but was shot down as everyone would probably yell “mute!” So, we hit the web and found Hispanic American Success Stories Bingo. Salvation.

Stressed over De-Stressing
I’ve spent most of the day watching three co-workers practically ripping their hair out over the process of selecting a spa at which to de-stress themselves. That’s an absolutely genius business model, like having an anxiety attack choosing a therapist or being moved to tears selecting a grief counselor.
No Pity on Camp Staff
Joe Naylor was in Totem whining about Scout socks when Mike Kramer stated the following:
Mike: You’re probably looking for sympathy from me; you will find none here.  But I will tell you where you can. It’s in the dictionary, between “shit” and “syphilis”.
Well played Mr. Kramer, well played.
The Post that Gets Me Blocked By IT
I normally don’t revel in the failed translations of others having butchered a number of languages, but this was simply too good. Lets see if the topic gets my own blog banned by my work’s IT guys. Anyway, Wired.com, the intrepid reporters they are, covered a Japanese Entertainment…. yes, Entertainment convention and covered such important topics as the Raelians views on human rights. One of the vendors had a very…. advanced product touted because of its awesome English site. It can only be described as an Epic Fail for Babelfish (As an aside, holy shit, altavista still exists). Want a fake marriage hole for a semi-medical purpose made by a stubborn craftsman? Check it out! Please note that some features are silicone while others are silicon, owww.
Switch to Disqus
As you may have noticed, I’ve switched my commenting platform from wordpress to Disqus. Disqus a couple things (more at Disqus.com)
- Lets you guys add multimedia to response
- Develops a history of comments that follows users across sites (which’ll come in use when I add new types of content
- Permits users to pop in and drop comments without registering (I know it’s not tough, but…)
- Lets me respond to comments via email
Please tell me what you think. If it doesn’t work out, I can reverse the plug-in without much effort.
This Guys Gives Philosophers a Bad Name
Worst of all from this point of view are those more uncivilized forms of eating, like licking an ice cream cone–a catlike activity that has been made acceptable in informal America but that still offends those who know eating in public is offensive. … Eating on the street–even when undertaken, say, because one is between appointments and has no other time to eat–displays [a] lack of self-control: It beckons enslavement to the belly. … Lacking utensils for cutting and lifting to mouth, he will often be seen using his teeth for tearing off chewable portions, just like any animal. … This doglike feeding, if one must engage in it, ought to be kept from public view, where, even if we feel no shame, others are compelled to witness our shameful behavior.
