Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver created by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.
Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.
You may take a tour of the sheep web site and related documents. Don't miss the archive and lineages of top sheep from the current generation.
Exhibit A.
For as long as I can remember, Domino Sugar has been Blue & Yellow. Things were good. This was a bold color scheme that signified a sense of royalty. Note the slogan saying "We'll Always Be Your Sugar!". That kind of slogan is powerful because it is forthright and suggestive. It's almost stalker-ish. Like say you might be shopping and want to save a few cents (because of a $700 BILLION bailout you have no say in) and get the store brand, then when you reach to put it in your cart, you notice that Domino sugar is already in there. Why bother questioning how it got there? So you put it back on the shelf and when you look up, there are like 5 Domino sugar bags surrounding your store-brand and they have cut it open spilling all its sugar all over the aisle and they are now threatening other defenseless bags of store-brand sugar.
Think about that the next time you hear "We'll always be your sugar!"
Exhibit B.
The evidence. Subliminal suggestion that plays on the OCD mind to color coordinate. I have no idea when this happened. But I have been using it without notice for the past 8 months here at my job that has free tea & coffee. By the winds of Zeus, these two brands paired up next to each other on my desk arousing an epiphany that Domino Sugar is in fact a covert GOP operative agency. They have done the "we are also for change" spin move.
If you unscramble the letters in Domino Sugar you get "DO U ORGANISM".
Precisely! I will say no more...I've already said too much.

I know it may seem like I am hating on Palin with all my recent posts showing her profound abilities. However, I'd rather you consider it some form of Patriotism because she is potentially 'one 72 year olds heartbeat away' from the highest office in the country.
If that does not scare you, you have not been paying attention.
Today was unofficially cleaning day for me. It actually started over 3 weeks ago by me gradually allowing things pile up. Spot cleaning works as a remedy for my inherent procrastination until I found myself "spot cleaning" bigger and bigger spots like the spot of my whole kitchen floor. Eventually, I have a minor breakdown that usually comes from being unable to find something . When my counter-top disappeared underneath mail that I have ignored for months, I could not take it anymore.
Swept, dusted, cleaned shower tiles & toilet, mopped & vacuumed.
I should really do this more often. I still have not gone through the mail, I figure anything critical will eventually turn into a phone call asking if I received the mail. To which I will simply say no. Side note, Capitol One solicitations account for 1/4 of my mail and 1/6 of all deforestation initiatives.
And yes, that is a label that says "Pail" for the over achieving Target shoppers that could not figure it out in between the brooms & mops.
PS...I like my mop.
Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said.
After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.
Palin told him that "dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time," Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said "she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks," recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.
The idea of a "young Earth" -- that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on -- is a popular strain of creationism.
Though in her race for governor she called for faith-based "intelligent design" to be taught along with evolution in Alaska's schools, Gov. Palin has not sought to require it, state educators say.
StreetWars is a 3 week long, 24/7, watergun assassination tournament that has already taken place in New York City, Vancouver, Vienna, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Chicago, Paris and is now coming back to New York City
At the start of the game you will receive a manila envelope containing the following:
Upon receipt of these items, your (or your team's) mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target(s).
You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, etc.
If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your (or your team's) picture(s) and name(s). Then you win. Cash…but first live in fear.
If your like me, and most people are not, you own a TV but don't have a cable provider. My TV's sole purpose is to watch downloaded DivX movies on. Heck my current business static FiOS connection & Moto Q9M monthly bills exceed $250 as it is, so I will save a few bucks where I can.
For the few other out there that share my frugal perspective or are just in stuck or voluntarily in front of their computers now; this is for you.
Sardonic? Maybe.
But, I have a big heart and have been blessed to be able to see humor in most situations.
Be Childlike.
Never lose that.
