Tin Foil Soldier

I’ll be honest. I read the internet at work. My job occasionally has downtime and when it does no one is being harmed by a quick blog read or blog post.
Lots of blogs are starting to get video posts, and I don’t approve. BoingBoing TV or whatever? I don’t think I have [...]

I’m Voting Republican

The US has them. I don’t really have the energy to address them though; so go to towelroad or joe. my. god. for your fix.
Kevin started listening to happy hardcore trance again lately, so I dived back into my music collections for some trance / house music that I also enjoy.
I think the hardest [...]

Slate V - The Closest Marriage, Literally
Writers David Plotz and Hanna Rosin give it a try, inspired by an Arizona Buddhist couple.
I don’t normally watch videos online because they required sound, and sound makes it seem like I am not doing work (even if I am multi-tasking). I watched this video at home, so [...]

FOX Talking Heads Upset Ellen Can Talk About Marriage Now - Towleroad, More than gay news for more gay men

Hot Toddy’s Toaster Oven: I’m sorry, Eric
“We need to work to get everyone to be equal.”
Sure, sometimes it may seem like the Human Rights Campaign is annoying, or fighting stupid battles, but they are still fighting the good fight.  They fight for Eric Breidenbaugh, they fight for people who can’t share insurance, for those who [...]

Everyone’s Free to Wear Sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

MAKE: Blog: Trossen Robotics contest - Phoenix FTW
Phoenix is a six legged walking robot. Wait, we know some of you out there may be thinking that hexapod robots are old hat. Well, you’re wrong. So very wrong. Wait until you see it move.

When it moves, it is so smooth and lifelike, it is definitely creepy.  [...]

YouTube - Boston Dynamics Big Dog (new video March 2008)
Boston Dynamics just released a new video of the Big Dog on ice and snow, and also demoing its walking gait.
It looks and acts like a living creature that I feel bad for it when it slips on the ice, as it scrambles to regain its [...]

Fritalian (Dunkin’ Donuts commercial)
I love this commercial.  It has been stuck in my head since last night, and I keep singing it.

Art film of zits being popped - Boing Boing
a lush artistic film of extreme closeups of people popping zits.
Its disgusting, but I had to keep watching it because it just looked so cool.

A website in Australia compiled a list of the “50 Gayest Songs Of All Time” to celebrate Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade.
Dlisted took the list and made it easier to read.
I took the list and added the youtube videos back to it via clickage.

19. [...]

I listen to alot of music, but lately it has been mostly country music.
I listened to Sugarland - Stay every day driving to and from work.  At 3 minutes into the song I always would start singing louder and feeling stronger.  I didn’t actually know the song was from the point of the mistress until [...]
