I finished.

Well, I’m in the middle of changing my mind about this whole Day Without Weblogs thing. Yes, I know what I said, but people are allowed to change their minds. (The person most responsible for my waffling? Andrea Spencer. No kidding. I’ve always been a contrarian bastard.)

As usual, Greg “Nouse” is the funniest guy in the room.

I almost wish I could have Matt’s reaction. The things strike me as some of the most depressing stuff I’ve read. Does anyone else, when reading the Chick tracts*, just want to find the poor soul who believes these things and, very gently, destroy his entire psyche with one tossed-over-the-shoulder sentence? * which are not linked for a reason.

AmIHotOrNot: 2 days, 226 votes.Just thought I’d point that out.

Just a couple notes, prompted by Neale:

1. Blogger is good.
2. christmas porn, xmas porn, x-mas porn, porn porn porn!

This is interesting. There is a mutation that appears only in females in which the mutant possesses four color receptors, as opposed to the usual three, giving them a sort of super-vision. The mutation is linked to the same genes which cause male children of these women to be colorblind.

Taken together with the earlier story about the boy with an unusually strong electromagnetic field, one begins to wonder.. Are we ‘normals’ on the way out?

This, naturally, led me to this. Hee.

My sisters and I had some professional photos taken, and I finally managed to get those blue swirls (either from the funky textured paper they use, or my crappy scanner, I dunno) out of the scanned photos. Now I’ve done something I probably should not have done. Yes, I did.

Mash! I share an apartment in New York with two kids (one of each) and my starving artist husband. We honeymooned in the Caymans. I am a web designer, and drive a blue hoopty. I should have stacked the deck better. [via Chris’s sexy little ass]

I’ve been playing with Workspot’s free linux shell thing, mostly to see how my sites look, and I’ve learned three things:

1. KDE is ugly. Really.
2. Workspot does not install NS 4.7 by default, and the version of Mozilla they do install is so buggy as to be unusable.
3. I am not as smart as I thought I was.

Hey, it’s a whole new section devoted to Sims stuff! And some new stuff! Yay! (I’ll still announce new stuff here when it’s added.)

I created versions of the skin for medium and dark skin tones. Harder than it looks.

As consolation for my distractedness lately, here’s a skin for your Sim-img needs. It’s the Blogger t-shirt (modeled fetchingly here by Meg) and black pants. Now your sims can be the geekiest on the block! (I forgot, however, that the actual Blogger t-shirt is blue. Mine is black. It’s a limited edition!) Extract to your sims\GameData\Skins folder.

Meg the heretic.
