I think The Economist use of quotationmarks in the story about Firefox is kinda funny, unintentionally. It lead my mind to the Ironicist’s typical use of air-quotes in sentences as:
I “love” my children.

I guess I’m closet metrosexual. If that’s the correct expression. And if it is, I haven’t met any other metrosexuals in there. In fact, I don’t think they’re hiding there. Where are they hiding? The drawer? The subway? No that’s just silly. I think in an apartment store trapped somewhere between the cosmetics and cooking utensils. Because straight men can’t do or think of more than one thing at a time. That’s why it’s a hit-or-miss; we can’t stand up, pee and read the scribble on the wall. That’s why they don’t even let us flush the urinals ourselves no more.
Somewhere in India there was a little girl who showed great promise in school. Her parents worked day and night so they could send her to the best of schools, hoping she would get a good job and be able to pay the tuition for her younger brother and sisters. She even took extra math lessons, to learn all the old Hindu tricks for doing arithmetic in your head, so she would be accepted to the toughtest school in the world: IIT - India Institute of Technology. Where she studied and even became a Teacher’s Assistant. And upon graduation, magna cum laude, she gets a job… developing software for a self flushing urinal.
Because when she goes to work in India it’s night on the other side of the globe. She can monitor the efficiency live to improve the code. Because straight men can’t do more than one think at a time.
Why do you think unisex restrooms only works in gay clubs?

Everytime I find myself reading Slashdot comments I wonder if I had a lobotomy that I just can’t remember…
Wow! I just say woow. Sometimes you discover great things by accident, and wonder why someone haven’t told you about it before. So what is it that got me so flabbergasted? The short story: it’s fish.

How can crotchless panties still be regarded as panties?
I’ve grown up from the typical teenage acne (for havens sake I’m twenty six!) but still get the occasional zit. Today I got the largest zit I’ve ever seen. I’ve grown a third nipple.
Tried out the new Google Reader this morning, and it’s “kinda neat”. A little bit slugish feedback but I guess that will improve. I didn’t managed to figure out the Google-twist to the RSS reader concept until I started to add feeds to it. Yes it’s one of these aha-moments.
Well, I will probably continue usining Sage and other aggregators — at least for my most often read feeds — but the Google Reader is a nice complement to the Gmail experience.
