I’m perhaps a little bit *too* amused by this.

Two of the 21st century’s most powerful social forces; Hip-Hop and Geek Culture, collide head-on in the feature length documentary, Nerdcore For Life.  Born on the Internet, Nerdcore is rap music made by geeks, for geeks and covers such traditionally nerdy topics as comic books, video games, anime, sci-fi, astrophysics and technology.  Filmed over the course of two years, Nerdcore For Life follows the top names in this new genre as they celebrate ‘geek life’ and their love of Hip-Hop to the fullest, fight anti-nerd stereotypes and struggle to overcome the common obstacles that prevent musicians of all genres from fulfilling their dreams.

On Facebook, I found an app that lets you list your past and present cars — I thought that’d be fun, so I dug through my old photos and came up with the long list below.  I couldn’t find photos of my 1990 RX-7 Convertible, so that isn’t listed in there.

I figured my 10th rotary powered car would be an RX-8, and I had decided that I was done with RX-7s, FCs in particular, but here I am posting that I want another.  Though I can claim that it really isn’t all for me..

Someone help me. Oo;;

Every so often someone asks me if they should be worried if their internet access is being monitored at work; my answer is always maybe.  It’s definitely possible to figure out what sites are being visited, entire IM conversations can be logged (so use encryption), who and what your emailing (so don’t use your corporate account for personal use) (and don’t assume that just because it’s deleted it’s gone forever).

My intention is not to make you paranoid.  It’s very unlikely that you’re being watched, unless you’re constantly hitting “questionable”  sites or the higher ups want to monitor you — but I suspect you’d know if that were the case. (reprimands, complaints)

Please note that the above is not the official policy of my workplace. I’m only informing you of what is possible.

The link below provides screenshots, video, and background on one such incident. I LOL’d. ^^ I don’t care what you do at home, but please don’t do this at work.

So we started monitoring him on the camera and using DameWare so we can view his desktop and see just what the hell he does all day since he has no actual work to do at the moment. Aside from the grunts and noises which came as expected, we noticed some interesting sites/chats going on. I will let the screenshots speak for themselves–

Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.

The National Children’s Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

This could include a child of as young as three who says “yuk” in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.

I know it’s late notice — but if you’re free for dinner on Friday @ 7:30 come on by to Ming’s Diner (on Taraval between 31st & 32nd Ave) afterwards we’ll head a few blocks south to Fire Fly Sports Bar for a few drinks. (No, I’m not getting wasted)

Let me know if you can make it, so I know how many tables to reserve. It’ll be very informal and no more than $15/per person. Last year we had two humongous tables and hence a whole floor to ourselves. I don’t want/need any presents, but since I’ve been asked by a few people to put a list together, I’ve combined made a wishlist at amazon. It was really made for an upcoming housewarming party but it’ll do.

According to this US News and World Report article, I have a sunny disposition but have lower confidence.  Then again I also have a white car and that means average too.

Red supposedly connotes an aggressive, high-speed personality, while yellow, theoretically, is for folks with sunny dispositions. But survey data show that people who drive red or yellow cars have below-average confidence. And black cars, supposedly a sign of power and elegance, are driven by the most downbeat drivers of all.

I’d have taken more photos but I didn’t know very many people there and my battery was running low pretty quickly.
