• Went down to the San Diego Zoo today with 13 other people from my apartment complex. It was…well, it was a zoo. Zoos were a lot more fun when I was 10. But at least I got out of the apartment today.

    Because of traffic, I spent 5 hours in the back seat of a Camaro. Damn, I missed my Camry.

  • The weirdest thing I\’ve seen in a long time: a black man who was turned white as a side effect of pills for liver disease. I will refrain from the obligatory Michael Jackson comment.

  • Laid-off Workers Are Striking Back

    \”Two of the most common acts of revenge are theft of company property and breaches in the company\’s computer network, according to an annual survey of Fortune 1000 companies by Pinkerton, the Chicago security firm.\”

    What do these corporations expect, a \”thank you for firing me\” letter? They lay off 25% of their work force, escort them out of the office like criminals, and give hefty bonuses to their top executives for saving money. Of course there\’s going to be retaliation. I have no sympathy at all for these companies. Fuck \’em all.

  • Ichiyoh Haga is a Japanese artist who makes some really nice miniature model work. He makes highly detailed, 1/80 scale models of run-down, beat up Japanese buildings. Don\’t miss his equally impressive art in a box either.

  • Michigan Police Use Database to Harass

    \”Michigan police have used the state\’s law enforcement database to stalk women, threaten motorists and settle scores, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday.\”

    Fucking cops.

  • Even though I probably failed my math final yesterday, I can take comfort in the fact that I never have to take a math class again for the rest of my life. Well, assuming I pass this class, anyway.

  • Ars Technica interviewed the production team of Final Fantasy about the technical aspects of the movie. Some interesting stats: the movie had 149,246 frames, the average frame took 90 minutes to render, and altogether the render time was 934,162 days. Interesting stuff for those of you into computer graphics.

  • The Jean-Paul Sartre Cookbook. I think it would be even funnier if I had paid attention in philosophy class.
