OMG!

John McCain is McFast & McFurious:

If you watch it and like it, make sure to search for other instances of "Green Screen Challenge". I think McFast and McFurious is the best, but McCain of Borg is also screamingly good.

A vast, deep collection of bile...

John McCain, last night, in a show of human decency, told his followers that Barack Obama is "a decent man, a family man," and that they have "no reason to fear him as president." I thought that was an excellent tack to take, although many on the left are speculating that there are reasons other than decency for it: maybe the anger and hatred he'd unleashed was a losing tack, maybe he's considering his legacy. For whatever reason, McCain has been doing the right thing.

He did, however, get booed for it when he said it. And I was curious to see how this turn of events has gone down with the fringe right. The results are telling. ( Bile behind the cuts. )

I can't seem to concentrate today, so have some porn!

I've been reading Prakesh & Knister's 1994 paper, "Undoing Actions in Collaborative Work: Framework and Experience," because I'd like to implement an undo feature in my web applications, especially the ones for Isilon but also elsewhere, but I can't seem to concentrate. Maybe it's too much caffeine. And this is only the first paper; after I finish it, I have to go on to Zukowski's Implementing a Selective Undo Framework, which uses Python as its reference language and was written itself in noweb. (It completely sucks that Emacs 22 doesn't support the noweb.el that ran in Emacs 21).

My life is so exciting.

Here, have some softcore porn masquerading as an AIDS prevention ad:

For the boys.

For the girls.
