Though I use it all the time, I often make fun of Wikipedia and its supporters for several obvious reasons, including terrible writing and a "patchwork" feel to the articles that arises from the myriad editors. But the main problem is that, as a source of reliable information, it, well, blows. When confronted with these negative opinions, the defenders of Wikipedia always tell me that incorrect information, lies, and vandalism are "corrected within minutes" and that it's just as accurate as other encyclopedias.

Here's a wonderful mixed drink I invented. I call it "Liquid Christmas". The recipe is pretty simple, but please note that you'll want to think about making this a smidge before you want to drink it, as it may take some time to properly prepare.

class MNightShyamalanEvaluator extends MovieEvaluator {

   boolean isAnyGood(String movieName) {
      if (movieName.equals("The Sixth Sense")) {
         return true;
      } else {
         return false;
      }
   }
}

sub evaluate_religion( $other_person ) {
   if ( $other_person->religion->name == $me->religion->name ) {
      return NORMAL_RELIGION;
   } elsif ( $other_person->religion->wacky_beliefs == $me->religion->wacky_beliefs ) {
      return OK_RELIGION;
   } elsif ( $other_person->religion->location == $me->religion->location ) {
      return WEIRD_RELIGION | OK_RELIGION;
   } else {
      return CRAZY_RELIGION | CULT;
   }
}

I, like many other Americans, was utterly devastated by the election of Barack Hussein Osama, I mean Obama...

I built a toddler bed for my daughter, who today is 15 months old.

Just the other day I finally switched my email from Kmail to Thunderbird. I've been with Kmail since January of 2002, and was very reluctantly to let it go (and I generally don't like Mozilla products), but some glaring deficiencies like the inability to reply in HTML finally pushed me to Thunderbird.

However, there has been at least one unexpected bonus: Thunderbird appears to be politically astute. Just look what it declared about this pathetic e-mail from Sarah Palin and John McCain:

By now, we have all seen this fake photo of Governor Palin in a bikini holding a gun,

I made a baby bookshelf.

People, it turns out, are very poor judges of risk.

Ratings on the content of movies, TV programs and video games are generally a useful thing: they give parents a little bit of information about whether the content is appropriate for their children. Notification about the violence content of a movie is useful to parents. Knowing ahead of time that a movie contains graphic depictions of sex with donkeys, likewise.

Using the latest and greatest formula and algorithms, I've spent some time and put together this computer image-aging program. It's surprisingly accurate, and should age nearly anything (not just people). Just use the form to select the image to age, set the subject's current age and the number of years to age, and click go.

Can you tell a baby boy from a baby girl? With adults, it's easy to tell the sexes apart: women have breasts, long hair, wear eyeliner and cry a lot; men have short hair, deep voices, big muscles, and like sports. However, with babies it's not so simple. Can you guess the sex of these children?

In relation to a particular smell, a friend coined the term "culihuevos" (or culi y huevos), meaning "ass and balls". We joked that it should be a cologne and have a fancy magazine ad, so here it is. For some reason, Antonio Banderas was the first person I thought of for the photo. It seems to fit.
