A woman with a running laptop in a white government van just drove slowly down my street.
She paused in front of a house directly across from mine.
Should I be worried? How worried should I be?
I was stuck without transportation or motivation last week so I decided to chart my online identity. Each node is an account or online presence with a list of what information can be gleaned from it. (eg: gender, location, sexual attraction to pink toilet seats)
Nodes are linked with others that have information in common (eg: shared alias or link pointing to other presence) Sites which are private or ambiguously linked (site linked to, but no specific user specified) are noted with a clouded outline.
Some interesting things can be considered with this data. Though my main/real email address is publicly available (and associated with my name thanks to google cache) it’s very hard to link it to any other facet of my online identities.
In other news, I am not paranoid; just realistic.
Isn’t it kinda’ fucked that our largest information portal is run by an advertising company?
How to Dance
Move, just move.
If you stand still, you lose.
You can nurse an expensive drink at the bar later; when you’re old.
Disclosure: none of this is based on experience, but it seems accurate enough.
I'm feeling too productive.
I think I need to club my psyche sensless with gratuitous violence (pulp fiction & fight club)
Oh man, I just dicovered that those quick switch plates for tripods are interchangeable :DDDDD
Godless books
My grandmother I should pick a book from her collection, I chose one by H.L. Mencken. She said she knew I would choose something like that, then went on to talk about how a belief in a higher power will protect you from brainwashing. (religous indoctrination much?)
I also have to read somthing else to “balance” it. Esentialy, I can read Mencken as long as I promise not to lose my soul.
ps: she said she couldn’t think of any good art made by atheists. Vonnegut maybe?
How can you identify a student driver?
They crawl out the passenger side door.
I’m a September 11th survivor. I survived the 12th too.
I voluntarily stayed off of my computer for 28 hours.
I know, it’s incredible.
301st Post!
and my tumblelog is .3 years old.
A developer’s best bugfixing pals:

close all issues like this for supreme efficiency.
Reminder to self, how not to sound like a unix fag.
mySQL != my sequel
/etc != etsee
Vimeo, Zwinky & Match.com share a common overlord.
Their name is IAC and they also are the proud owners of such classy web 1.0 properties as Exicte.com and the now extinct eDodo.net.
Imagine if Vimeo and Zwinky were merged into one website. Wouldn’t that suck?
Now stop imagining; it’s coming soon.
I just saw an IBM ad bragging about their supercomputer that broke the petaflop barrier; it talked about all the stuff that could be done with its power.
One use mentioned was crime prediction & simulation.
Multivac is coming at long last, and I don’t think it’s a good idea.
