The Google Blog points out that Froogle has added a new feature, and it pretty much rules with an iron fist: wish lists. Just in time for the holidays, and after I’ve already spent hours on my Amazon wish list, this comes out. Nice. I’ll probably have to kick Amazon to the curb and roll with Froogle, if for no other reason than that, well, Google rocks.
An ominous sign, a doctor has finally invented the ‘Orgasmatron’ which causes women to have orgasms at the push of a button. The device requires minor surgery to be attached, but once the surgery-free version is widely available we’re through. Everyone will be staying home pushing the button until they starve to death.
Let this be a lesson to all Wisconsonians: don’t mess with deer hunters from Laos.
Is it just me, or has the TSA gotten a whole lot sexier?
I’m now considering a career in the travel safety industry…
Wow, if my blog were a baby it would be well on the way to being a dead baby joke by now. I’ve actually let it get to the point where there have only been 2 posts in the last 10 days, so now there are only two other posts showing.
Here’s a quick wrap-up of the last 10 days or so: I went to the coast (pictures coming soon in the photoblog), went to work, battled with my laptop’s wifi configuration, did some biking in the rain…

It’s always embarassing when you’re a crane operator and the car you’re supposed to be fishing out of the water ends up sending you over the edge insted.
In an otherwise grim month, a little sunshine peeps through the clouds: wacko fundamentalist and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft is resigning from his post. Oregonians know him for his attempt to overthrow the will of the people by threatening legal action against doctors who helped terminally ill patients end their lives under the Death With Dignity Act. He also crusaded to protect Americans from the grave threat posed by beautifully handcrafted glass bongs and pipes. His claim to fame is bringing a total of zero terrorists to justice, even after congress and the president provided sweeping new sneak-and-peek powers in a knee-jerk reaction to the 9/11 catastrophe.
If there’s one thing Japanese businessmen love more than getting drunk at work after hours and telling their bosses what they really think of them, it’s passing out all over the place!
After the nation’s horrifying failure to remove Bush from office on Tuesday, it’s quickly becoming apparent that something has to change drastically in this country to unite us as a people. After some searching, I arrived at the Guns and Dope Party. This is truly the solution to the problem of a two-party system. The Guns and Dope party will finally unite Gun-loving republicans and Dope-loving democrats as one happy family. Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Illuminatus! trilogy and more.
Ok, so I can’t prove that. However, this article points out that
The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
That company is Diebold, and yes, they sold their voting machines to Ohio.
Well, to quote a Metafilter user,
Well, at least irony isn’t dead. The world anal gangbang record was broken yesterday. 101, no lube. Um, nsfw.
UPDATE: Black Box Voting doesn’t like the fact that there were no audits of the electronic voting devices (neither do I). They’re doing something about it:
Voting without auditing. (Are we insane?)
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Nov 3 2004 — Did the voting machines trump exit polls? Theres a way to find out.
Black Box Voting (.ORG) is conducting the largest Freedom of Information action in history. At 8:30 p.m. Election Night, Black Box Voting blanketed the U.S. with the first in a series of public records requests, to obtain internal computer logs and other documents from 3,000 individual counties and townships. Networks called the election before anyone bothered to perform even the most rudimentary audit.
America: We have permission to say No to unaudited voting. It is our right.
Maybe I’ll move to the soon-to-form United States of Canada.
I found a better map a Not A Dollarshort:
