Thinking about trans issues isn’t something I typically spend a whole lot of time on. Sure I have trans/intersex friends. One of them actually sent me this video. I’ve never heard someone making the distinction between sex and gender before. Where sex is more the genetics of it all, and gender is the sociological expectations that are placed on us because of our sex. It’s just kinda neat to think about it for a few moments and ponder it. I think this person is right, we do need to spend some time on it. I know I could certainly do more.
I’m giving away money. How crazy is that? I finally finished the code needed to run my contests. I wasn’t sure what the prize should be so I figured cash was always a good choice.
Can you believe they canceled Las Vegas?? I’m so irritated. It wasn’t just over sexed straight men that watched it. We gays loved it too. Well at least I did. How could you not love Josh Duhamel??
Damn he’s hot!! I can’t believe it ended like that. I’m so depressed. Is that sad?
On a lighter note, I saw the premier to Quaterlife and loved it!! It really get’s into the mindset of us twentysomethings. I hope this show stays on for a while. I really like that it has Scott Michael Foster from Greek. He’s really cute and a really good actor. I really like what they’ve done with the quaterlife.com website. The more I troll around the site, the more it seems the show came out of the website which I find to be a really fascinating turn in the current web.
With myspace peaking and the social networking “world” becoming super saturated where is it leading? What’s the next step in the web’s development. I read the other day that Comcast is working on launching DOCSIS 3.0, which is insanely fast, around 150Mbps!! That’s crazy talk!!
There’s a lot of talk about Web 2.0 vs Web 3.0 and what they are and will become. Imagine the possibilities when you can put over 100Mbps into your home. What are the things you’re going to want to do online? More accurately, when will you be offline? Imagine a world where there truly isn’t anywhere you can go to get away from the net.
How do I do that? I start of complaining about NBC cancelling Las Vegas and start babbling about Skynet.
Oh well I’ll sum it up:
Las Vegas is canceled that sucks
Josh Duhamel is really hot
Quaterlife is really cool
Scott Michael Foster is also really hot
Skynet scares me
For those of you who live under a rock Skynet is a fictional example of an artificial intelligence that becomes sentient, and turns on its creators in Terminator.
I can’t believe it. This is akin to domain hijacking in my book. I can see how it would be useful. I routinely check domain availability for people without actually wanting to register the domain myself. I typically make my customer register it, I just check it for them.
This grace period is just another way to give stupid people domain names. The internet is already flooded with morons who think they can throw together a site in frontpage and expect huge traffic. Idiots!! If I go and search a domain name and decide 2 days later to register it and it’s taken I don’t get irritated at the person who registered it. If I really wanted it it then I should have bought it. We should not let people put domains on “lay away”. What’s to prevent me from searching for thousands of domain names just to irritate people? I would then hold them all in reserve for the 4 days so nobody could register it even though I had no intention of purchasing it.
