Here's a (no nudity, but not everyone is wearing a parka if you know what I mean) clip explaining how the two differ and how that may align with your interests.

Personally, I wish there was a video game console that could be summed up with this pic but what do I know.

(PS if anyone knows that model's name, and/or if she is for sure the model appearing in the Sigma SD14 DSLR print ads [the ones in the photo magazines] let me know).

First off, my cat thinks he is Einstein. Or maybe Willie Nelson, I'm not sure.

Now, to share some other photos. We were out today to pickup this big poster that I had custom framed and we spotted this bag of really odd gummy candies in the Halloween Candy section at the local Target.

You have to check them out, they are all gummy candies made up of multiple colored gummies in intricate shapes and nifty colors so that in combination they make fast food items.

It's sort of like that PlayDoh set or other "fool food" things I used to play with many years ago - only these really are edible... barely.

I work with a bunch of interesting people who are by in large of a similar mindset and share similar views. They also lead mostly sheltered lives. I am disjoint from this type of thinking and living, but whatever, as long as the work gets done.

Well, they delight in having an educational "word of the day" on their white board. Sometimes a real word, sometimes a silly word, sometimes a word that they made up to fit a certain circumstance.

One day they couldn't think of a word to use, so I put "schadenfreude" up on the board, but no one knew what it was. To me, that makes it a perfect word of the day.

Well, I couldn't be more wrong, since the word means taking delight at the pain of another; this did not sit well with this group. All found it deplorable and it was quickly erased.

Well, the other day they were all giggling about this one story. It seems the one person remembered this story that was apparently told by a previous co-worker who spouse was either an ER doctor or an ER nurse. The group seemed to be sharing the story with others in an attempt to find who originally told the story, and also to share the hilarity with others.

The story involved someone with a cue ball (or some other billiards ball perhaps) up their rectum, and at least one other person with a bar of soap in their vaginal cavity. One person suggested that this was a good reason for soap-on-a-rope.

No one was sure who told the story originally, but everyone seemed to agree that it was HILARIOUS.

Because of this, my second ever suggestion for the word of the day was "hypocrite." This concept fell mostly on deaf ears, but it seemed to get a few people to look at themselves and the situation and blush.

But, that word only describes them. I think we need a new word to describe taking delight in the misery of someone realizing they are a hypocrite due to their own schadenfreude.

Schadenhypocritefreude?

Schadynpofreudicrite?

Okay, hopefully there's a sex-ed teacher out there, I have a bizarre sex question.

Hypothetically speaking you're a guy and you are naked and have an erection. You are with goatse-guy and he is "spread." You two play a game sort of like the classic Operation. You insert your device but do not touch the walls or the end. You remove your device.

Now, did you just have sex with goatse-guy?

You had your wang inside of him, you could probably even feel some heat radiate off of his body, but there was no touching.

Now, what about if you did the same trick with one of those girls that can put champagne bottles into her parts? You know, the ones that do traffic cones for exhibition. Did you have sex with her? You had your schlong well inside of her, and it wasn't even her mouth so Clinton debates cannot enter here.

Sorry about this one, I was just pondering the old game Operation and one thing lead to another... Hey, you know, I wonder what would light up on goatse-guy if you did touch one of the sides!

Some of you are familiar with all of the photos of me going around licking people. One was even famously in that fark photoshop contest.

Well, I think I've finally figured out why.

The voices in my head are dyslexic.

It has taken me some time to figure that out as they were so annoying with that stutter and the slight lisp, but I'm sure of it now.

Today is Joanna Gleason's last day in her currently Broadway hit Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I know I haven't been pestering you guys much about her since I'm sure most of you don't have a clue about who she is, or care, but it's kind of big news today and I made (with the help of a good friend) a really neat photo collage to say, "Bye!"

For those of you who recall our trip down music lane with Oh Holy Night, you'll LOVE this artist.

Go here and play any of the tracks from the BASIC Album of the Week.

Interested readers will find additional info about the artist and the LP at this nice site.

Side note: this link is also from the same friend Rich who found us Oh Holy Night.

Sometimes when a train is very heavy (or the breaks are stuck) it won't move.

Most times the amp meter and the spedeometer indicate this to the engineer, and most engineers then stop the locomotive to figure things out.

But not always.

If the wheels spin and spin and spin, but the train goes nowhere, then the friction that builds up from this metal rubbing on metal can melt the rails themselves.

Check out these examples of rail burns.

So, this year I got myself a Sun Rack for Christmikah to put all of my servers in and keep things a lot more organized.

Picturs are here.

But, the best part, has to be The Cat in the Rack!!!

I just got back from Bermuda.

Yes, I met up with our friend who lives there.

Yes, things were great.

Yes, I'll post more about all that soon, and with pictures and stories, and funny things.

But, before I get to all that - I had to get this out there. I shot this on our cruise ship.

heliocentric writes, "The Register has a story about the Dell Tech Force web promotion that has been in action for some time. Dell hired Maverick Productions to create a pair of cartoons that mock "the leviathans of Big Iron." The playful animations are knock offs of the "Team America" film and are aimed right at Unix server sellers Sun Microsystems, IBM and HP. However, the Dell Tech Force fight against Big Iron runs on Solaris servers from Sun."

First, we solved the booze problem with a very nice wood liquior cabinet. All I need is to get some glass cut for the top to keep the bar-tending nice and tidy and we're all set. Photos.

I just got back from the mysterious land that is Canada. I was up there teaching a course about Sun's hardware to a bunch of former MS-centric support people. Well, I hope former, several seem to be easily convertable when topics like OBP, ALOM, RSC, and RISC showed them the power that is Sun. Photos of the trip.

There's also been some new, funny kitty kitty photos added. Link - text, punctuation.

Also, while in Canada, and drunk off of Alexander Keith's beer, I got this Sun-centric (aka heliocentric) tattoo. Photos of tat.

And, last but certainly least, I have a section of the gallery for "hot chicks" where you are free to vote. Some are there as more of "base line" to ensure you're not seeing all 100% hot meat all the time. Photos of hotties.

As a relatively new alcoholic I've been enjoying many of the fruits from the booze tree. The libations have been enjoyed frequently and we're always seeking out new things.

To grow our collection we follow some simple rules for replacement. When a bottle goes empty, at least one of the following conditions must be met when purchasing a replacement:

1) A larger bottle of the same alcohol is to be purchased. (This is called the Super Size rule)
2) A better brand or version of the same alcohol is to be purchased. (This is called the Upgrade rule)
3) A new kind of alcoholic substance is to be purchased in addition to the replacement. (This is called the Expansion rule)

By following these rules you'll be well on your way to drunkenness is no time. After a few months to a year, you'll have a collection that would make any frat envious, but where should you keep it?

The perfect solution now would be to have an actual bar. Entertaining would be easy, storage a snap, and hey - it's just darn cool. But this would require lots of capital (impacting the booze budget) and space at the sacrifice of part of my trains or computers setup. Trust me, you can't get me drunk enough to want to sacrifice either of those.

Our current solution is to store the alcohol under the kitchen sink. That's right, it's down there with the cleaning products. Palmolive-tini, anyone? Comet shooter? How about some Formula 409 on the rocks? Fantastik boilermaker? No? Well, now you see the problem. (But you really should try the Buttery-AJAX -Nipples mmm-mmmmm).

Thus, what I'd like to find would be a nice "liquor cabinet." Something that would look nice in the living room, provide storage for the bottles in use (backup storage can still be kept elsewhere), and allow easy access for the user(s). Look out Martha Stewart, easy entertaining would be just around the corner!

My vision is for an approximately 4-foot tall bookcase-sized device with two doors. The doors would be wood frame with glass and wooden cross-lattice stuff to make it pretty. This would allow a guest to see into the goodies and invite enjoyment, but keep the dust off of things and provide organization. As we have no children (and generally despise them) a lock is not needed, but I can live with one being there. An inner shelf would be nice for maximizing the storage, and I'd prefer wood here for strength.

We already have a nice wine rack that holds all of our bottles of wine, wine glasses, and even the martini glasses, too. Thus, storage of these things is not needed, but martini shaker, shot glasses, and an ice bucket on top of the liquor cabient would be great. We already have these items; they just live in kitchen cabinets.

The sad thing is that in this day of political correctness, AA, and rising gas prices such a creature doesn't seem to exist. Check out this article over on modern drunkard. What a shame! It seems a good liquor cabinet just doesn't belong in today's "modern" society.

What's a boozehound to do? Any of you know where I can find something like what I'm looking for? Please, save us from the Brillo bongs!
