Brilliant, isn’t it?
…which reminds me, I’ve not yet finished my copy of Gödel, Escher, Bach. Remember stopping somewhere after the discussion of the self-destructing record player.

Just as the US has its share of dumbfucks seeing the Virgin Mary in tortillas and such, we have idiots to call our own.
Furniture exporter Charlie Lim, 50, said: ‘We’ve had enough of all the monkey business. These people don’t live here, so they don’t realise the ruckus and inconvenience we’ve had to put up with.’
Mr Lim’s frustrated outburst was echoed by most residents who spoke to The New Paper on Sunday.
Kudos to TNP for the hard-hitting journalism, and the simian pun.

Should I increase the number of items in the Buzz section or not? Or does it not matter?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a thousand pictures.
Here’s a “strider” from 2004:
…and now Virginia Tech has built a similar-looking tripedal robot with a very creepy, deliberate gait. I’d hate to have one of these hunting me down through dark corridors…

bzzzzzz
a wasp goes about its business in the late afternoon.
dangling vine, macro lens, handheld, single spot AF, in the wind. I consider this a triumph of my patience over common sense.
crop, slight levels correction, drop shadow and watermark in photoshop.

A few days back, for some reason (don’t ask) I ended up shooting directly into the sun with my polarizer on… ending up with a bunch of *very* washed out shots.
On a lark, I threw one of them into Photoshop and pp-ed the hell out of it - the result of which you see here.

Something new on the page!
You see, I read most of my stuff nowadays via RSS using Google Reader - and recently I delved into a wonderful little feature of theirs called “Share”. With minimal setup and some shiny new javascript in the sidebar, I can now click the Share button on news stories which I find interesting from right within my reader… and have those stories’ headlines appear in the box you see on the right. Nifty, no? Seeing that I browse my feeds about 10 times a day, you should see those headlines update quite a bit.
Hope you like it. :)
P.S. The theme switcher has been removed, as promised.
