I just sent an email to the Curious George publishers permissions department linking to the AJC articles. Perhaps someone can get sued.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

I'm really skeptical that the Burmese gov't is going to actually do fuckall with the aid they are receiving. Beyond stocking their personal larders and making token for-the-few-cameras displays.
WHY do people keep giving me graphics work? If there is one thing I am really not good at, it is that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good for you!

I hope they sue his pants off. But I hope they do it after the election. I think the less publicity this racist piece of shit gets now, the better.

I hate doing graphics work, I suck at making good looking splash screens and icons. Fortunately it hasn't happened in awhile.
I did have fun one time making a temporary splash screen for the product installer that had the product name over a picture of an exploding building with people running away from it. I could hear laughter from various cubicles as the beta installer made its way through development and QA.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Awesome list:
Yeah, that's right on. Although I am preemptively insulted on behalf of DC: real work goes on there! And also, did the author really mean that reading the Sunday Times is the penultimate NYC experience? Like you read the times, you eat a bagel, then you have to go?

Yeah, seriously! Though to be fair, it's not much of a pedestrian city the way NYC is, so if you're standing in the middle of the sidewalk taking a picture, the people whose way you are getting in will probably be other tourists.

Not for those of us trying to drive downtown! When the tourists are here, left turns = impossible.

That's true. Also most of the touristy things have plenty of tourist-space around them. Unlike the fucking back door to the fucking stock exchange, where I walk through people's pictures every single day.
On the flip side, with spring comes Free Stuff Season by my subway stop -- they were offering toothbrushes and pomegranate juice this morning (separate promotions). I didn't take either.
