Obsessed much?

July 31, 2008

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;;

Creepy intern at work… hilarity ensues (pics and vid)

July 16, 2008

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 dislike spicy food ‘racist’

July 8, 2008

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.

Chinglish as full-fledged English dialect

July 8, 2008

Michael Erard’s Wired story on the ways that Chinglish is mutating into a full-fludged (and widespread) dialect poses some interesting possibilities for the language’s future, in which tonal suffixes, borrowed vocabulary words, and streamlined grammar open up rich new expressive possibilities.

It’s not merely that English will be salted with Chinese vocabulary for local cuisine, bon mots, and curses or that speakers will peel off words from local dialects. The Chinese and other Asians already pronounce English differently — in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. For example, in various parts of the region they tend not to turn vowels in unstressed syllables into neutral vowels. Instead of “har-muh-nee,” it’s “har-moh-nee.” And the sounds that begin words like this and thing are often enunciated as the letters f, v, t, or d. In Singaporean English (known as Singlish), think is pronounced “tink,” and theories is “tee-oh-rees.”…And it’s possible Chinglish will be more efficient than our version, doing away with word endings and the articles a, an, and the. After all, if you can figure out “Environmental sanitation needs your conserve,” maybe conservation isn’t so necessary.
