Hey everyone. Fantastically I am on holiday from tomorrow (Xmas eve) until next Monday. Technically I’m working every working day over the festive season, so I’m quite grateful my company sees Xmas Eve as a holiday as well. 5 whole days off! We’re off to see my clan and then the in-laws as well, so it should all be … interesting.
So for now I leave you with a load of links and a reminder to vote for the pet homophobe’s name. My favourite at the moment is still “Prince” but “Spot” is growing on me too. It’s a fairly short list, so I won’t shortlist it and I don’t think we need Big Read-style commentaries, so just go give your vote or suggestion!
- Linux focusing more on desktop user experience at the same time that Joel talks about the difference in *nix and Windows cultures. Another critique of Joel’s critique I found interesting here
- Luck actually exists — after a fashion
- Antibubbles in beer
- We might not all be pope (despite Paul’s protestations) but you can get a thought from him every day on your mobile
- Commentary on 3D virtual worlds which strikes quite a chord with me. I definitely wouldn’t shop online as much if I had to walk through a virtual mall, jostling other virtual shoppers similarly represented to “enhance the look and feel”. Sod that, give me Amazon anyday.
- Narcotics offers trap Texan housewife for selling vibrators from the no-drug-crime-here-folks-had-to-keep-busy-somehow department
- Logic bumps on the information superhighway — the exception is always the bastard…
- The Bush Tax
- Modern young women are more likely to say they’re gay or bisexual. Possibly not the silent minority for much longer
- Conspiracy Theory MMXVIII : Saddam was actually captured months earlier
- Every single particle in Star Trek. I am so so scared that someone did this
- FUH2
- Stunning beautiful fantastic art origami courtesy of 0xDECAFBAD
- Top Ten Web Design Mistakes Alertbox courtesy of Simon
- Perhaps not so impartial … maybe just prescient? The media did help try him, after all…
- Girls don’t want girly games — you’ll need to watch an ad to see the full version — we just want something that accepts that possibly we can communicate with other human beings
- Acts of Gord — fantastic light reading for those days when users are getting you down. It could be worse … you could run a video games store!! Just go read it
- Grand Text Auto looks promising
- Ming the Merciless is absolutely fantastic. Go there, now. Don’t stop clicking until you get to the Yoda page
- I’m not the only one who gets the urge to do handbrake turns and run over pedestrians after playing too much GTA 😉
- Joel on Interviewing which Simon reminded me of. Hits the nail on the head and I’ll probably come back and write some more about it sometime
- And finally, evidence that some people really need to get out more, courtesy of my friend Tom, who is desperately lacking in the weblog department
Happy Commercial Season to you all!

I do hope you liked
“Most of our robots have been programmed to Rock”
on the Ming the Merciless site. It inspired me to do this (http://students.bath.ac.uk/cs1arep/Pictures/Tennassee—Poster.jpg)

Hi, I’m gay. This is what I want from you. I want all of you to assume the “thinking mans position”. Yes, you know the one….the hand on the chin, lost in deep deep thought. Now I want you to think about my gayness, think about it hard and long…..forever. Please don’t let any other thoughts pop into your head, you must emmerse your existence in my gayness.
Thank you for your time. Maybe this will make me happy….maybe.

*waves at The Homophobe Formally Known as Prince* (OK, I know it’s not decided, but it’s my favourite, OK?).
Do you just arrive here on ‘lesbian’ Google searches and get annoyed about a result not being straight porn? Most of this site isn’t about gay. But I suppose maybe you haven’t learnt to read yet 😛

Well, lets see. The thinking mans position, huh..? Here’s my input for Mr / Mrs Gayness. Um, I don’t care if you live or die. So, why would I care if you take it in the butt or munch rug? Sorry, don’t shoot the messenger.

I don’t know Meri. I think I’ll have to vote for the thinking man post. I think he’s actually to dumb to be a h-phob though.
Later, love the site.

Tony, nice picture. You have too much time on your hands though.
dorkSpotter, is this your way of coming out or do you really think this is what my site is meant to be about? I can’t help being gay and since many of the issues affect me I reserve the right to be interested in and comment on them. If you have a problem with that, go read/troll someone else.
Look it’s the homophobe formally known as Prince, according to my web-stats nobody is arriving here on lesbian porn searches. Although some spambots have put comments in so some lesbian porn sites probably point here to increase their Google rating.
James, are you agreeing with the sarcastic thinking man’s post or taking it seriously? If you agree that my site focuses on gay issues too much, then I don’t really understand that you like it so much. A little confused by your comments, hope you’ll clarify if you drop by again…
Does that deal with everyone’s person frustrations about this list of blogmarks and the comments? Hope so because I’m off to work now…..

I thought it was instructions for achieving Enlightenment. However, despite sixteen hours of constant effort, dorkSpotter’s method appears to have failed me, so I’m going to go back to Plan A: vast piles of chocolate.
“If you have a problem with that, go read/troll someone else.”
I wish he/she/it (probably the last, judging by the seeming lack of sentience it displays) would troll me – I’m feeling left out again.

We could come troll you Rich, if it would make you feel better, but since we wouldn’t really mean it I don’t think it would really count as proper trolling…. Sorry :-\
