I know, I know: we look like idiots with poodles now. But it
often undigested. He's happier now, really. At least during
this friggin heatwave the past few days. It'll grow back by
winter. We'll post pics every few weeks to monitor progress.

"The more conservatives join a conservative court, the more conservative each [conservative] justice gets. The
same thing doesn't appear to be true, curiously, for left-leaning
judges. The authors find that the court's liberal justices are driven
to vote more ideologically not when their numbers grow but when they
begin to drop. The fewer justices there are on the court appointed by
Democratic presidents, in other words—meaning the more outnumbered the
liberal justices are—the more liberal those justices get."
damn lighting made it so ya can't see the lyrics... need someone to photoshop them back in!

i wonder what's in this office cupboard...?

omg CUPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yet another friend just emailed me the "girl's sexy costume warehouse big sale" joke commercial on youtube (that i saw on comedy central a week or two ago). i'm sure others have blogged the shit out of it, so i'll spare you and not expend the 3 clicks necessary to embed it here (mentioning-and-NOT-embedding is the new cool thing). if you don't know what i'm talking about, you can search for the damn thing yourself. the internet's great like that.
it's somewhat interesting that it's no longer possible to instantly assume which forum came first,
as comedy central has started playing random shit they found on youtube without explanation.
anyway, it definately got me nostalgic for the early days of east coast commercials.
having been a latch-key child, some classics come to mind:
* The horrid boss' wife/daughter from Atlantic Transmission.
* Doors Unlimited.... Unlimited.. Doors!
* Jacoby and Meyers Personal Injury Lawyers. (immortalized in beastie boys lyrics "got more suits than...")
* I-Deal!
for some reason, their obscurity has been my barometer for whether the internet has truly arrived or not.
no video yet (few household vcrs in the early 70s), but this implies to me that we're getting close!:
note: for some reason, they made the jingle un-embeddable, but it can still be played on youtube here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oQFlkK9nYYs
another addendum, for posterity, i'll give in and embed the girl's sexy costume warehouse clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=V4rUiV_Hh74
since typing in a shell on the keypad is absolutely painful,
here's the absolute minimum number of keystrokes necessary:
1. Install Openssh via Tapp (requires bsd subsystem).
2. Install UIctl via Tapp.
3. in a "vt100" terminal, enter the following (entering pass or <return> when prompted):
4. in UIctl, select sshd, unload -w, load -w.
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh_host_key
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
5. from your real 'puter: ssh -lroot <ip of your iphone>
(get the ip from ifconfig -a, default passwd is "dottie")
after you're in, you can change that root passwd,
and lock down /etc/sshd_config with a normal terminal.

yuengling lager! i actually mistyped it first as yeunglish.
i guess that's what you speak when dronk on it.
Schwartzenegger thinks changing the rules is a loser's mentality.
Someone please remind him that's how he got in office!!!
With that "Special" Recall Election bullshit...
Normally, I'd agree that 'changing the rules' is a typical Republican loser move,
for example: pushing premature redistricting because they keep losing, and a
random reshuffle is a better chance when you've got nothing to lose.
(Unsurprising this is coming up now, as 2008 approaches)
But human beings are capable of evaluating things on a case-by-case basis,
and it's pretty obvious to me that the electoral college is broken if
its granularity doesn't represent the will of the majority of the people.
So, I think it's 'fixing something that's broken', not 'changing the rules',
but the catch is that this is a state initiative, in a blue state, thus
benefits the other side. Watch the republicans supporting it here
fight similar initiatives tooth and nail in states where they lead.
To truly fix the problem, it has to happen across the board,
in all states. Unlikely as that is, I'll keep hoping,
because this is one case where it doesn't makes sense
to 'do it first and set a good example' of how
it should be done, because the cost is too great.
this is neat, but they really need a free (read: ads) version:
