I feel terrible and I am having a hot bath tonight and hoping that some sort of adult perspective will creep into this childish sad feeling I am having at present. I think my neighbour refers to this practice as self-parenting. Oh fuck, I just said I am going to go have a bath and self parent on my blog. Whatever go with it, we're all about the soul-bearing honesty here aren't we.

Anyways before I go lie in my perfumed therapy hangar. Here's some good advice.

Disclaimer: I went to meet some friends for drinks.The drinks ended earlier then I wanted to, and now I am lying on my back half-pissed typing into my lap. So yeah, don't hate.

Mary Hodder posted about this article, and was quite critical of it's placement in the Fashion section of the New York Times. "Sorry, Boys, This Is Our Domain" is about young ladies who make pretty stuff for the web. Hodder's point was that technologists who are men, usually get listed in Section like Business, and uh yeah, Technology.

Vot for your favorite sexy geek - Wired - bodyhack

Mehh.... none of these geeks are sexy, I mean they are attractive, but everyone knows that geeks aren't sexy because they are attractive, they are sexy because they are fucking nutbars who do stuff like make you brownies for your birthday using a convection oven and an arc welder they picked up off the street.

This list is totally stupid and i would like to open the floor for real sexy geeks and the reasons they are sexy here on my blog.

Here are my top three sexy geeks Not in any order:

Maya because she quotes keirkegaard and makes heartbreak an IA problem.

Jen because she adopts animals off the street and also can still function using a websafe colour palette.

Alison Because she gets really excited ( I was going to use another phrase but I am too mature) when she think about antennae photo projects, and because she likes to dress up fancy but only once every four years.

MK Who once almost asphixiated herself in my kitchen getting drunk and trying to get a vocoder to work inside a gas mask or something. Oh yeah and cuz she's my HOMIE

Simon just sent me a fascinating article about a boot-camp started in South Korea to wean youth of their "pathelogical computer use".

For the record if anyone is thinking of starting something like this here in Canada please please please consider me for the position as " ARTS and CRAFTS counsellor" I rock arts and crafts, and I *heart* young internet addicts.

Actually come to think of it.

Who's in for a week-ends worth of bad art and beer somewhere up north when I get back from latest pan-continental travesty? I can boot camp alls y'alls away from your 'pooters in less time then it takes to say macaroni picture frames and marshmallow s'mores.

I just re-installed my entire operating system and installed a virtual machine and moved my music collection onto a separate hard-drive and installed new ram. All while watching and reading about poker tournaments on the www.

Not necessarily in that order.

In the parlance of geekdom, I am presently blowing on my knuckles while staring at my opponent (poor performance) who is lying on the floor with gray matter coming out of it's ears.

However,

I did not purchase a new hard-drive, ha ha ha sigh.

So my apparently puny 80gb drive will have to be replaced in September and I'll be damned if you'll find me doing this twice over, next time I am paying someone to do it.
