This is the main reason I decided to install this maintenance release: “This release also plugs a number of cross-site-scripting (script injection) […]

Jesus was Gay

Thursday, May 29th, 2003 · Comments Off on Jesus was Gay

NEWS.com.au: “Jesus was gay – the University of Queensland gave $51,000 of public money to a PhD student to reach that conclusion.” Thank God. Now I can sleep better at night. I’m just disappointed that my tax dollars couldn’t contribute to this great cause.

Thursday, May 29th, 2003 · 5 Comments

I’m in the market for a new MiniDV digital camcorder and am looking for recommendations. From my original list I’ve narrowed it down to three models: the Canon ZR60, ZR65, or the Sony DCRTRV19 MiniDV. Any experience with any of these models? Recommendations?

First, the good news: Jen is home safely from New York! Woohoo! The dogs and I picked her up from Oakland Airport last night after 11pm. It’s great to have her back home. I missed her. Next, the bad news: My lower back has been having spasms since last night. They started shortly after I […]

Doin’ the Santorum

Wednesday, May 28th, 2003 · Comments Off on Doin’ the Santorum

This is hilarious: Dan Savage solicits reader input on defining the Santorum as an explicit sex act. This one is probably my favorite: “Here’s my proposed use of the pigheaded chump Rick Santorum’s family name: To simplify my life as a med student in taking patients’ sexual histories, “Santorum” could stand for discharge. Instead of […]

Homophonic Scumbag

Wednesday, May 28th, 2003 · Comments Off on Homophonic Scumbag

After reading this article in the San Jose Mercury News, I set out to see how quickly I could find my first Googlewhack — to search for two words (no quotes) in Google that produce one and only one result. It took me about 16 minutes to uncover my first Googlewhack: homophonic scumbag, which I’m […]
