This is a diet I was handed and told that it was designed to help people crash lose a stone for operations. I tried it and lost 14 lbs, so I’ll pass it along since I can’t find it anywhere else on the net.

The Access Linux Platform has finally been demoed at the 3GSM conference. Edited highlights include: Running Palm OS binaries (including OS5), a full Java virtual machine, and the ability to run GTK applications (should make porting the Nokia 770 work easy). More detail & screenshots below the fold.
The light was shining on the clouds
Shining with all it’s might:
And moving about up in the air
A bat shone smooth and bright -
Unusual mostly, but this is Gotham
It happens every night.
Robin was pacing sulkily,
He thought “I know that one”
It means Joker’s up to business
After the day is done -
‘Batman, grab your suit,’ he said,
‘Let’s go and have some fun!’
The suit was black as black could be, Read the rest of this entry »
The rubber matt and dry.
Racing to a car, and then
A flame alights the sky:
The Batmobile speeding over road -
For this bat cannot fly.
This is a recent exchange of mails between CentOS, a RedHat derived GNU/Linux distro, and this man. I am afraid for humanity.

So. Google really is going to lauch a calendar. I suspected it when calendar.google.com started to route to the main page, and noted that a googlebot kept grabbing my online iCal file. The beta is apparently going on with around 200 people, and the pics have now been leaked.
The leaked pics follow….
Faceparty. Truly, it makes you rethink your instinctive distaste for eugenics. In an attempt to warn the internet about the horrors within, I have attempted to make a taxonomy of user types, roaming from the merely slightly misconceived to the utterly terrifying. All pics are from genuine FP user accounts.
The Teen is the most inoffensive of all of the faceparty archetypes. Though she claims to be 16, she is in fact about 14. As such, while she may indulge in excessive makeup and flirting online, she is unlikely to get in a situation where STDs can be an issue with anyone but a real-life classmate. As with all underage girls on the net, she may well be a police officer.
I hear the rain start to fall
single droplets the solo introduction
then, far away, the base of thunder
I hear the orchestra start to move in.
A single lightning bolt spears the sky Read the rest of this entry »
The storm’s baton starting to sway
The pitterpatter of heavier drops
beating a rhythm alive around me
The Wisdom of Parasites. The Loom: A blog about life, past and future:
Kept for posterety since the server has gone down:
I collect tales of parasites the way some people collect Star Trek plates. And having filled an entire book with them, I thought I had pretty much collected the whole set. But until now I had somehow missed the gruesome glory that is a wasp named Ampulex compressa.
Some most amusing legal documents have emerged in the ongoing lawsuit between Google and Microsoft over Google’s hiring of Kai-Fu Lee. Possibly the most illuminating thing is the “Declaration of Mark Lucovsky” in the case. Lucovsky was a distinguished engineer at Microsoft who defected to Google in November of 2004. His statement makes for some pretty surprising reading, to say the least.
The statement reads in part:
Prior to joining Google, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer to discuss my planned departure….At some point in the conversation Mr. Ballmer said: “Just tell me it’s not Google.” I told him it was Google.
At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: “Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I’m going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fucking kill Google.” ….
Thereafter, Mr. Ballmer resumed trying to persuade me to stay….Among other things, Mr. Ballmer told me that “Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.”
Steve Balmer. What a CEO. What a man.
