Bill Gates is retiring. To celebrate, read this email he sent to his employees in 2003 explaining how much Windows sucks. Hilarious.
Bill Gates complaining about Movie Maker:
"The download is fast and the install takes 7 minutes for this thing.So now I think I am going to have Moviemaker. I go to my add/remove programs place to make sure it is there.
It is not there.
What is there? The following garbage is there. Microsoft Autoupdate Exclusive test package, Microsoft Autoupdate Reboot test package, Microsoft Autoupdate testpackage1. Microsoft AUtoupdate testpackage2, Microsoft Autoupdate Test package3.Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.But that is just the start of the crap. Later I have listed things like Windows XP Hotfix see Q329048 for more information. What is Q329048? Why are these series of patches listed here? Some of the patches just things like Q810655 instead of saying see Q329048 for more information.What an absolute mess.
Moviemaker is just not there at all.
Still confused? He's hacking other people's real life photos. Awesome? Yes.
Check out his site and you'll get to see confused tourists reviewing the digital pictures they just took. A physical joke, on a digital medium. Brilliant.
I get the feeling tony and eva will be way into this one.
Rolling stones has done an interview with Obama and will post his ipod playlist in Friday's issue.
The article about the article is on the GuardianUk and talks about some of his musical choices: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstein, Stevie Wonder, Rolling Stones, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ludacris, Jay-Z, and Q-Tip.
Pretty impressive playlist, mostly safe choices. The best part about the article is where they talk about Obama 'guesting' on Q-tip's new album.
Rolling Stone will also do a list of songs Mccain likes to listen to on the phonograph: Gene Austin, George Gershwin, Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders, and Paul Whiteman And His Orchestra.

So in an effort to "harness the untapped power of breast movement" (trust me...it's been tapped), scientists are talking about creating a bra that stores the energy created by breasts (boobies).
My favorite part are all the great quotes from people of science. "Let's face it—if you're a double-A marathoner, you're probably not going to get that iPod up and running," Lawson said. Measurements compiled by Lawson and her colleagues show that a D-cup in a low-support bra can travel as much as 35 inches up and down (35 inches!) during exercise, while a B-cup in a high-support bra barely moves an inch.
'I asked Wang if this bra would be machine-washable.
"You don't need to wash a bra!" he said.'
So by now, my informed readers have heard that Dobson wants to fight Obama.
All Obama had said was basically, even if we got rid of the divide between christians/nonchristians there would still be the rift between christians and christians caused by whose christianity would you teach? "Would we go with James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's?" Implying that they are two crazy people on opposite ends of the same spectrum. A fair point that could spark meaningful and much needed dialouge amongst ranch eaters everywhere.
But here's the best part. Dobson accused Obama of "...deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology...He is dragging biblical understanding through the gutter." Dobson said.
Here's what Dobson has also said...
"[P]ain is a marvelous purifier. . . It is not necessary to beat the child into submission; a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely. Some strong-willed children absolutely demand to be spanked, and their wishes should be granted. . . [T]wo or three stinging strokes on the legs or buttocks with a switch are usually sufficient to emphasize the point, 'You must obey me.'" - From The Strong-Willed Child, pp. 53-4
"Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth." - On gay marriage, from The Daily Oklahoman, Oct. 23rd, 2004
Meanwhile, the boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and affirm his son's maleness. He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard. He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger. - focus on the family
"Here at Focus on the Family, we're not political."
Oh, and here's a transcript from a Larry King interview in which he talks about a lot of different things that he knows nothing about.
The New York Times has an interesting article on an obscenity trial in Florida (Southmost New Jersey). Basically the defense is trying to prove the defendant was not really viewing obscene material because it adhered to community standards. To prove this they pulled search records for the area from google/yahoo. Here's my favorite quote:
“We tried to come up with comparison search terms that would embody typical American values,” Mr. Walters said. “What is more American than apple pie?” But according to the search service, he said, “people are at least as interested in group sex and orgies as they are in apple pie.”
Personally, I don't think its a fair comparison. I mean, it's like comparing apples and orgies.
From slashdot-
The legislated upper limit for the waistline is 33.5" for men, and 35.5" for women. Should America adopt universal health insurance, could we live to see the same kind of individual health regulations imposed on us by the government? By comparison, the average waistline in America in 2005 was 39 inches for men, 37 inches for women.
And then, for some reason, they broke out the flamethrowers.
I know all of my readers always ask, "how can I be more like Daft Punk?" Good question. The good folks at instructables have published a tutorial on how to make your clothes glow using EL wire.

I'm filing my nails at work. I figured I would blog about it to keep you informed.
They look really great.
In the kitchen, every day and night
Mixin and cookin, gotta get it right
Gingerman bread gonna make you my prey
Cause I’ll eat cookies every night and day
I’m a baked good predator
A cookie making wizard
I’ve got a sweet tooth,
And to tell you the truth
I wont eat your store bought sh**
If you give it to me, then you’re gonna get hit
Homemade is where its at
Yeah I like cookies but I ain’t fat
Spin your mixer like a rotor blade
This is how cookies like to get made
White chocolate or peanut butter
You’ll feel my wrath with a cookie cutter
Sittin in my kitchen in a sleeveless tee
Preheat the oven - 350 DEGREES!
I’ll mix this batter like I mix my rhyme
Slow – one part at a time
Start with sugar, butter, egg, and flour
Don’t forget the baking powder
Refrigerate for at least an hour
Dough so good its filled with power
Spin your mixer like a rotor blade
This is how cookies like to get made
White chocolate or peanut butter
You’ll feel my wrath with a cookie cutter
Third verse about cookie monster or Hansel and Gretel or something
