My Tumblr is almost entirely pretty and pop culture. It is incredibly shallow, and I love it so. Every once in a while I'll post something political, but it is 90% pop culture.

Tumblr gets way more fun when you are following a lot of people. Reblogging is half the fun!

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

I hope you didn't learn this the hard way.

Nope.

Still, I was amazed at how easy it'd be to, say, steal a few hundred thousand credit card numbers on a floppy.

Of course, just because an illegal thing is easy doesn't mean I'm going to actually try it....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just meant the goodstuff tumblr. Mine is stupid and trivial. It's a college picture of Colin today, and a picture of Captain America. Whoot.

I feel like I'm letting some side down by wearing black and grey. If I were in all black, I'd feel like I was about to kill someone. But now I feel like I'm being maudlin. Except I love grey! Grey is great! Still, somehow feels like a missed opportunity.

I pay way too much attention to what I wear.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm a little late to the party regarding your coworker Sophia, but it seems to me that she's gotten a bad rap. She went out of her way to be sensitive and to be helpful and offer what she thought were good solutions.

Now, she's wrong, that's not the issue, but calling her a horrible person and saying that she's a terrible coworker is unfair, when it seems that she was honestly trying to help.

You're being sarcastic, right? I mean there's offering help and there's condecention to the point of literally treating a co-worker like they're mentally disabled.

I was going to say -- her desire to help isn't the horrible thing here. Her vast overreaction, though, is horrible. Offering to teach Sophia how to wash clothes and how to clean herSELF is pretty dang horrible in my book. I don't feel bad calling that horrible.

IT: Aussie Kids Foil Finger Scanner With Gummi Bears

"An Australian high school has installed 'secure' fingerprint scanners for roll call for senior students, which savvy kids may be able to circumvent with sweets from their lunch box. The system replaces the school's traditional sign-in system with biometric readers that require senior students to have their fingerprints read to verify attendance. The school principal says the system is better than swipe cards because it stops truant kids getting their mates to sign-in for them. But using the Gummi Bear attack, students can make replicas of their own fingerprints from gelatin, the ingredient in Gummi Bears, to forge a replica finger. The attack worked against a bunch of scanners that detect electrical charges within the human body, since gelatin has virtually the same capacitance as a finger's skin."

Okay, what show had them foiling palmprint scanners with fruit rollups? CSI?

That's so awesome.
