Awaken Your Giant

Happiness is not by chance but by choice.

Autofiction

Every once in a while an album, artist or group comes along that ties you over from droughts of sincerely emotive resonances.



"The idea with Autofiction is to create another world than the one we live in.
An attempt to as if by magic create a universe where everything is allowed, where people wear their emotions on their skin and live a high-speed living.
We want listeners to discover this universe through our music, because it's a beautiful and thrilling place."

Open Office 4 Kids is good for adults, too

The open source movement isn't just for grown-ups: Open Office 4 Kids is a slimmed-down version of the open source Microsoft Office alternative OpenOffice.org.

The target age group for Open Office 4 Kids is 7-12, but after trying it out, I think there are a lot of adults who would prefer it over MS Office or the full version of OpenOffice. It's available on whichever OS you've set your kid up with: Mac, Windows and (of course) Linux.

Less UI clutter helps make OO4K super-fast. Load times for the app and for creating a new document blew away Office 2008 on my Mac, and I didn't experience any of the annoying lag in loading font menus that I sometimes get in Office.

OO4Kids also has large, very obvious buttons for all of the most common functions of each Office app. The "4Kids" branding is almost a shame, because this could also be Open Office 4 Your Mom Who Always Asks You How To Do Stuff in Office.

On the other hand, I'm glad that any 7-to-12-year-olds who use this app will grow up understanding that Microsoft Word isn't the only way to write a paper.

Hostess does not want me to be great.

Oddly enough, these are only $1.00 in the Sin dispensing robot at work.
They are stamped $1.39 on the package.
Awesome? > Not really. > Ugh. > Fail.

Rics


These are not Crocs, they are 'Rics'.
They are around $3.49 in the Dollar (and up) store. (Err on the side of 'up').

…And, my Personal favorite, the Tactical ‘Mississippi Mocs’.
The agile contour allows for quick in-and-out access *(twss) but still provides a snug grip.  Excellent placed tread on the bottoms ensures confident grip up enemy terrain or carpetted hall steps.  You could easily wear these to work with a black sock and go by undetected.
+1 for Ninjas & Navy Seals.

C.S.I. Fans are Gullible

GUI interface in Visual Basics busts the bad guys...again.

They could't get a linksys manual for reference?


Not that I watch, but isn’t most of their ‘good detective’ work accomplished by the miracle of endlessly ‘enhancing’ grainy images?
Why the hell are the labs and offices illuminated like night clubs?
