ImageStuff + Flickr Colr Pickr
Ooooh! [inlink]ajay,304[/inlink]

Oooh, oooh! [inlink]paul,2953[/inlink]

Yay, I love playing with images. I guess I should point out Sarah's "Name Game" project, which is a commentary on "network semiotics" -- how images are named and the juxtaposition between what we call the image and what is in the image. The thing began as collections of photos of people labelled with their name, found on search engines. And then we worked together to do an interactive version of the thing. Anyway, you can play with it and see some weird stuff here:

And one of the coolest Flickr things I ever saw is this . It features a color wheel where you select your hue and shade. Then it dynamically grabs images from Flickr where the color values are closest to your chosen color. I think it's fucking brilliant. Amazing. Now, this is proof that there is good in the world...

In Your Face Bushy!

U.S. District Judge James Whittemore said the 41-year-old woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had not established a "substantial likelihood of success" at trial on the merits of their arguments.

Whittemore wrote that Schiavo's "life and liberty interests" had been protected by Florida courts. Despite "these difficult and time strained circumstances," he wrote, "this court is constrained to apply the law to the issues before it."





This is exactly what I hoped would happen last night as I lay down. I had a wild dream that all those fuckfaces who want to corrupt our government and legal system would be snubbed by a judge who would simply return the same verdict Mike Shaivo won in the previous 15 trials.

Now maybe this new "law" will be quickly overturned as unconstitutional and our esteemed leaders can concern themselves with something more important, like how to kill more foreigners...

Abstinence is for Anal Sex Fiends
Just to follow up on yesterday's post:

The    rates of oral and anal sex among people who planned to stay abstinent until marriage are higher than among other teens who have not had intercourse at all, according to the study, published in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health. Researchers found that kids believe engaging in oral and anal sex gets around the rules of abstinence programs by technically preserving their virginity.

Sex is for Fags!
from here ( )

I understand that abstaining from sex protects me from:

The regret and guilt caused by the disgusting, squishy act of stupid sex, which is basically like going to the toilet from the front side.

Making retard babies out of wedlock, then having to blow my whole allowance on diapers and a stroller instead of XBox games and Snickers.

Catching a brain-rotting STD like "Finger Herpes" from "feeling up" any nasty dirty girlie holes.



Oh yeah, it just gets better. Don't miss the "10 Things all the Cool Dudes are Doing Instead of Being Lame and Queer and Having Sex!" And ladies, don't feel left out. The White House ( ) wants you to participate, too. Click over to Iron Hymen ( ) for the female version, which is just as creepy-larious:

"OHMIGOD, like, Iron Hymen taught me to respect myself way too much to ever let some hairy creep hock man-lugies on my Godly cervix like it's some gross subway platform!"

I remember that PlastikMan album "Sheet One" featured a sheet of blotter paper decorated with little Plastikmen... What would you do with that? I wonder if that's why it's so hard to find copies these days?
