Fuzzysquid career downloads about delicious photos	/ Main As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed—“Almost rather I had seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!” “What was it, Sir?” said Flask. “The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld and returned to their ports to tell of it.” Moby-Dick, 1851
	NEWS 3-17-09 No one reads this column Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried. 4-21-08 Archives Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout.

At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!) 4-02-04 FURL Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive.

It was rather disturbing. I remember the dream well because I kept waking up, at least half a dozen times, to the sound of a mosquito in my ear. dannyboy 12:51 AM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Complete fucking bullshit: MTA to ban photography in the subway.

The fantastic part of it was that the boob had to have pulled in while the gate was down, gotten out, looked at the 4 inches of clearance between his roof and the counterweight and said "seems good to me!" AND THEN left while the gate was still down. Keep in mind these gates are only down for about 90 seconds, and an alarm bell louder than the hounds of hell is ringing all the while. Actually, wait, the most fantastic part was the CRUNCH sound his roof made, followed closely by how far down the car was being pushed (unfortunately, not too evident in the photos). We thought for a second the car might belong to a woman in our office, so we called her outside. She looked and said "Oh my god... that's not my car." Good time was had by all. dannyboy 10:10 AM (0) Comments: Post a Comment If you throw trash out your car window whilst driving on the freeway, you are not a good person, and will likely never be.

Thursday, May 13, 2004 dannyboy 10:29 AM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Another note about this censorship issue—I said to someone last night that I wouldn't want to work in a place that censored the internet, and she countered with "well, a lot of companies are doing that." Yes. They are, and I'm disinclined to work for them. My job is creative; you can't tell me to be creative while at the same time telling me I have to regulate what I say and think (and in this case, what is appropriate to look at on the web). It's not about looking at porn at work, it's about being in an environment that is oppressive to the creative process. It is a sign of a company that treats its workers with suspicion and contempt. Ultimately, even the porn justification is a straw man; no one actually wants to look at porn at work, and certainly not with the goal of wanking off. It's really about someone in the high office with a Mr. Burns complex ("look at those Layabouts!"). I always cite Google as an example of a company who gets it—that it's not necessary to be 'corporate' in order to be respected, you don't have to chase profitability to be insanely profitable, and the workplace doesn't need to be sucked dry of fun in order to be productive. Google is a company whose employees don't ever want to leave, and who Google doesn't ever want to let go. And then it dawns on me. The most sucessful companies, the ones that are the leaders, they attract the absolute best and brightest and don't have to deal with these problems. It's entrely circular.

Is this a good idea? And at $15 per wine-sized bottle? Especially since in contrast to their double bock, and their somewhat misleadingly-named triple bock, this brew is a lightweight at only 5.6%. It is malty and smooth with a dark ruby red color and yes, chocolately. But not like candy, and not like cake, and much more substantial than the usual "stick some Bailey's in hot coca." As an independent observer offered, "mmm, this is really good!" And then we had sex. Would purchase again. Enjoy this one-off with strawberries, honey, and someone you want to lay down by the fire. dannyboy 4:21 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Ok, the thing about censorship is, it doesn't work. My company just implemented a content filter for employee access to the internet, which ethically I don't have a problem with--it's their resource and they can dole it out as they see fit. But viewing it entirely from a cost-benefit perspective, it is a complete failure, as it always is, everywhere. No exceptions. 1. There's no better way to tell your employees you don't trust or value them than hiring a nanny, electronic or not. 2. On the infrequent days that the internet was down, pre-filter, productivity plummeted. People need their e-mail and CNN to function. Consider the lessons learned when "forward thinking" managers installed coffee machines and stocked the kitchen with free candy and snacks. 3. Content filtering doesn't work. Anyone who tells you it does, doesn't understand software, computers, or the internet. All the instances of "access to this page has been blocked" are for completely inoffensive, innocuous, libel-proof URLs (uhm, the craiglist automotive forum? wtf). On the other hand, I would bet that I could download 100 MBs of German sheisse porn in the next hour with happy approval of my new filtering overlords. But I'm also certain this nonsense will be quickly taken care of, as soon as one of the executives can't reach their baby's photo album because one of the images is named "naked_kid.jpg" Tuesday, May 11, 2004 moxy 4:39 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Are you a Jeopardy junkie like me? You should tune in this week for Power Players in Washington DC, where headliners like Tucker Carlson, Bob Woodard, Al Franken, Ari Fleischer try to show off their intellectual muscle - it's an impressive lineup. I'm curious to see who among these politicians, jounalists, and writers actually knows their stuff... my money is on Al Franken and Anderson Cooper. dannyboy 3:31 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Who you gonna call?! So awesome, I want to crap my pants. And it's not ninjas! dannyboy 2:57 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment BEER REVIEWS: Pabst Blue Ribbon PBR is what I drank in college. PBR thinks it is time to take this party downstairs. PBR is slightly yellow and tastes like fizzy water. But most importantly, PBR is $8.99 for a case of 18. PBR has now been written up in the WaPo and so will gain irrelevance--as soon as my corner bar stops carrying it on tap. PBR is the king of the 'sub-premium' beers, and would still be, even if all the dirty hipsters stopped drinking it. PBR is best drunk from the aluminum cans. Do not taunt PBR. PBR is best enjoyed by the case with mascara, leg warmers, and that guy from the neighborhood named Phil.

'Triple' refers to 3x the amount of malt that is typically used, yielding a high (9%) alcohol content. Pale yeasty yellow, big head. Pleasant light herbal aroma, but sharp and acidic hit as soon as it reaches your mouth. Almost champagne like. Fitting, as it supposedly ages as wine does. This is a 'living' beer, which means it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. Dry and hoppy finish. Mostly pleasant but I wouldn't seek it out. Quite good with sharp cheddar, smoked almonds, and the chantings of a dozen or so Trappist monks.

It's like hotornot, but instead of painted up U of Florida chicks trying to raise their self-esteem, you get normal people whose age you have to guess.
