"They all used to be Guys... They all have undergone the Virtual Feminization Process "
Really cool photoshopping. The sad truth is how well graphic artists can twist and turn pictures with the help of computers. One can take this is added proof that the girls on the Vogue cover aren't as beautiful as they look.
I truely recommend that you read this slideshow gallery. The English isn't all that great but you understand it if you really try.
"I travel a lot and one of my favorite destination lead through poisoned with radiation, so called Chernobyl "dead zone" It is 130kms from my home. Why favourite? because one can ride there for hours and not meet any single car and not to see any single soul."
It's such a fascinating story.
"We had communists at power those days and they kept silence about this accident and then people start learning by themselves and real panic began in 7-10 days after disaster."
"in April 26-27, 1986 after reactor exploaded, people gathered on the roof of this building to watch a beautiful shining that rised above APP (the plant). [People] didn't know this was shining of radiation. they learned it on next day when evacuation began"

"Richard Stallman"n:http://www.stallman.org gives his explanation of what "hacking" is. I think I agree with him:
"Playfully doing something difficult, whether useful or not, that is hacking."
That's the definition people who hack like. To many people "hacking" is what you do when you "break security to gain access to a system". I often use the word "hack" as a ad hoc desperate technical solution. Much like filling a leaking hole in a dam with chewing gum. It stops the leak but just ain't right.
Everyone is amazed by these deep sea fishes. Especially the ones with big fearsome mouths with big and spikey teeth. Makes a regular cod look pretty boring.
Enjoy!
"Creative Commons"n:http://creativecommons.org is some sort of licensing pool to protect your work as you please. How this is different from GPL, BSD, Shareware, ZPL, etc. I don't know. They have a nice couple of pages that explain what creative commons is but I haven't looked through it all. I did read this FAQ page. From what I gather it's a way for creative people to put a sensible license to their work without too much confusion with setting up your own license. The other licenses mentioned above are maybe for IT, whereas creative commons is for non-tech people; ...as well.
They've had a "contest"n:http://creativecommons.org/contest/, and the winners have been announced. Download the winner and enjoy. It's 9Mb but worth it. Well done whoever did it.
Fantastic music video to "Pass This On" by The Knife. You can read a review here or just download the video. Don't know why I like this video. My favourite is the absurdity of the scene and the bizarre mixture of people.
The Swedish chap featured in the video is called Rickard Engfors
"My client, a large public sector organisation, is commencing a hugely exciting programme for archiving the Web."
Got this in one of those automatic emails that CWJobs sends out. I'm not personally interested but it sure is an unusual offer. It also said:
"Architecture and programming of server-side code at a guru level.".
"Guru"? Isn't that when you're so good that your a celebrity (E.g. Stallman, E.S. Raymond, Nielsen)
Lemon is a site about the good old Commodore C64 computer. The site has lots of games, game reviews, game covers, emulators and you name it. Worth checking out to get a nostalgic kick. There are loads of games I don't recognise, but I do remember Sex Games (or click Misc on the menu)
It's a shame that such a nice site uses frames. I hate frames because it makes it impossible to copy unique URLs.
For the first time also I bought something from "cafeshops"n:http://www.cafeshops.com/ which is an online shopping site where people can sell t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs etc. with custom logos and prints. The item I bought was this kung fu hoodie
"More Shit: Jif will get you excused from military conscription. To prove his mental unfitness for duty in Vietnam, Frank Zappa squeezed peanut butter up his ass prior to the draft physical. During the exam, he casually put a finger up his bum and then sucked off the brownness."
