Boob-U-Mentary

What a fucking shame. Terrible job too. Sorry.
Update: I will concede Jamais from Blowfish one point, albiet a cynical one. Fake boobs look good under clothing. Once she’s naked you’re already sold, so it doesn’t matter that they look like crap.


California State Open June 24-25

Update: the new ratings just came out, here are the details of my matches. I went from 395 which was adjusted to 797 and then went up to 972 (Δ577). Looks like Michael was right that if you play too much better they refactor your rating. And it looks like they use those adjusted ratings […]


Application Independent Front-End Dev Environment

I’ve made significant progress in re-creating the coding environment that I once enjoyed in HomeSite (may it rest in peace), using AutoHotKey. Basically, I’ve set up all the HTML, JS, and CSS oriented key commands and a number of the tag completions so that no matter what environment you happen to be stuck using, […]


Long Awkward Pose

Jet Beetle

Scroll down and check out all the pictures even if you don’t have time to read it. Highlights include the “big-fire” demonstration (1/20th the full size?!) and the cop trying to come up with something to charge him with.


Commitment to Footwork

Much good table tennis advice to be found over at usatt.org, my favorite quote so far being the need to commit to “moving your fool self over there to get the ball”.
Other tips I want to remember being:

The Returns You Want
Learn to Re-Loop
Leftys
Staying Focused At Tournaments
Serving Seemiller Depth
Service Returns 101: Stroke, Depth and Placement

SolynStudio.com - a call for feedback

While at the “Skin Show” in Vegas a couple weekends ago Cybil attended a couple marketing workshops that covered menu design in some depth. We were spot on when it came to most of the advice (thanks to Jon and his help with the copy!), but one place where we missed the mark was […]


Torch My Ride: Arson for Hire

Ha! Maybe the fraud would be more convincing if people made sure that their spouse/children were in the car when it was torched? Did I just imply that anybody who leases a car beyond their means, specifically an SUV, should have their family roasted alive? Well maybe I did.
