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

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.

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. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved. Go check them out.

Woah, it's been 3 years since the last news update! Fuzzysquid now has a webclips icon for your iPhone! It'll automagically show up when you add FS to your home screen. Atom and RSS feeds have been available for a few years now, but I never made special mention of it.

Since it seems to be popular, and it's been linked in a lot of different places besides here, I've decided to post the LJ Images page. 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!)

Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive. Not much commentary, relevance, or sequitur—but it's what's keeping this blog from turning into a meme dumpster.

To me, this reeks of intellectual dishonesty, with a nice helping of sour grapes on the side. If you don't eat meat for ethical reasons, you can eat vat grown meat with a completely clear conscience. If you still have a problem with it, your reasons for being a vegetarian/vegan have absolutely nothing to do with ethics*. Sucks when science pulls the rug out from under your belief system, but I have as much sympathy for you as I do for the Catholic Church sending Galileo to house arrest for heliocentrism**.
I'm actually impressed by PETA's stance, as it is refreshingly shrewd, and I practice Realpolitik in most areas of my life, cuisine included. This is not to absolve them of their grievances against humanity and reason, of which there are legion. But they recognize that their mission to prevent cruelty to animals is NOT the same as the collective vegan/vegetarian agenda.
* "Meat is icky and I'm better than you so I get to tell you what to do."
** In all fairness the church did officially concede that the Earth is not stationary. In 1992.

Seems like they solved one issue while creating an even worse one.

That's what makes this interesting for me; that the form her "solution" takes to hostile product design is more product design, something of an arms race.
(And it's a "solution" much the same way Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal was a "solution.")

Anyway, here is one artist's response to the same: "Archisuit consists of an edition of four leisure jogging suits made for specific architectural structures in Los Angeles. The suits include the negative space of the structures and allow a wearer to fit into, or onto, structures designed to deny them."
