  • More Men Are Unabashedly Embracing Their Love of Cats - NYTimes.com on 2009-03-08
    • “It’s the unevolved members of the species who tend toward abuse of cats — and oftentimes, women and children,” said Ms. Mantle, who owns 18 cats.
    • “If you’re feeling insecure about your space in the world, you get a dog because he will always back you up,” he said. “He’s the insecure man’s best friend.”

      A man with a cat, on the other hand, “is secure with himself,” he said. “He’s sharing his space with a predator.”

  • The Ethics of Having Children-Guest Post | 20-forty.com on 2009-02-26
    • Whenever I hear someone say that they want to give their (future) children the life they never had, I always want to say-do you realize that if you didn’t have kids, you could afford to have the life you never had?
  • Portrait of an INTP on 2009-02-20
    • INTPs value knowledge above all else.
    • The INTP has no understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of
      personal subjectivity or feelings. They strive constantly to achieve
      logical conclusions to problems, and don't understand the importance or
      relevance of applying subjective emotional considerations to decisions.
  • 13 things to keep to yourself at work - CNN.com on 2009-02-17
  • Attenborough's response to creationists' hate mail - Boing Boing on 2009-01-31
    • All things dull and ugly,

      All creatures short and squat,

      All things rude and nasty,

      The Lord God made the lot.



      Each little snake that poisons,

      Each little wasp that stings,

      He made their brutish venom,

      He made their horrid wings.

      All things sick and cancerous,

      All evil great and small,

      All things foul and dangerous,

      The Lord God made them all.



      Each nasty little hornet,

      Each beastly little squid,

      Who made the spikey urchin,

      Who made the sharks, He did.



      All things scabbed and ulcerous,

      All pox both great and small,

      Putrid, foul and gangrenous,

      The Lord God made them all.

      AMEN."

  • Why Google Employees Quit on 2009-01-20
    • Most of the adwords

      support people I talked to complained a lot about their situation.

      Not only were they generally overqualified for the jobs (given what

      the work actually was, but Google has always prided itself on having

      people with extra education)

  • Deus Ex - nuwen.net on 2008-12-10
    • Deus Ex's story is communicated in two ways: through conversations that the main character, J.C. Denton, has with other characters, and through text in the universe which Denton reads (which can appear on a datacube, in a book, in a computer's stored E-mail, et cetera). The written information is stored in the game files as DeusExText.u (367KB) - obviously a gigantic file. I have reproduced it here to present the story all at once, rather than piece by piece during 24 hours of gameplay. This is technically against Ion Storm's copyright, but this page's purpose is to increase demand and create publicity for Deus Ex (and more importantly, Deus Ex 2) rather than provide a reason not to buy Deus Ex. For the love of all that is good, please buy Deus Ex. It's an old game, so it's cheap (and there's now the Game of the Year version, which has an included soundtrack - Deus Ex's music is incredible).
  • SMS Emden (1906) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on 2008-12-09
    • Sri Lankan mothers frightened their children with the Emden bogeyman, and to this day a particularly obnoxious person is referred to as an Emden, in Tamil. The word 'emden', meaning 'streetsmart', entered the Tamil language following her successful attack on Madras Port
