A while ago I accidentally ordered Civilization IV from Amazon, instead of Settlers IV. I received the game, played it for a while, but I quickly found out that I don't really care for it all that much. Maybe turn-based games just aren't for me, or is there something I'm missing? What makes it such a great game? ...

Finally, available now for your secret pleasure, the complete Koyaanisqatsi can be viewed and heard on Google video. This is the Godfrey Reggio/Philip Glass/Ron Fricke masterpiece that you have, doubtless, heard denounced so much. Where's Google videos loop button. I thought there used to be one. A welcome assault on the senses, 'Koyaanisqatsi' is not for the impatient or nervous. You have to give it time because it is slightly dull in the very beginning, as the music and landscapes are fairly ordinary. Once it gets going, its really fascinating. Some gorgeous images, none generated by a computer ...

There's no way I could have made this up. If you click the picture for the larger version, you'll see that I did a Netflix search for a cheesy sounding movie called Zombie Strippers. Don't judge me, just keep reading.The reason I'm posting this is simple. I want to know what does Academy Award winning actress, Meryl Streep have to so with zombie strippers. Why would she come up as one of the recommended actors for such a weird search term?Go ahead, click the picture to see the larger version. I know you want to do ...

As part of the preparations for my trip, I had to make a toiletries run at a pharmacy near my work. Which meant having yet again to do battle with my own personal econo-Grendel:How can a 11-ounce can of shaving cream cost $1.49 while a 1.5-ounce travel size shaving cream, of the same brand and in the same store, cost $2.49?All tastes and preferences are subjective. I suppose therefore that there could be a small population of travelers for whom conserving space is all-important — for them, "less" is not just "more" but "a lot more" — and it ...

I adore this song and I think the video is a work of genius..If anyone has a decent sound quality copy of the video could they pass it on (I love this version with all the extra bits). The closing sequence makes me smile every time I see it.I cannot wait to hear the remixes for this huge track.Oh and the inspiration for all those logos... ...

Video here - only the sound may be NSFW. Here is the Google-generated translation of the French text: The driver who enjoys (09/05/2008) Orgasme live in a train of Railways Dutch AMSTERDAM Astonishment aboard a train that was on a few days ago the liaison between the cities of Zwolle and Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. The passengers were surprised by the message, to say the least erotic distributed loudspeakers. The driver of the vehicle, a full meeting of masturbation, had forgotten to unplug his microphone. Suddenly, loudspeakers interposed, travellers were able to attend live orgasm of the railway. A ...

With the California Supreme Court decision yesterday, this opens the door for everyone's favorite lez couple to get married. While calls and e-mails to Ellen DeGeneres were not immediately returned, The Associated Press is reporting that a source said that Ellen and Portia de Rossi will be getting married.Ellen has been using her show as a platform for GLBT issues, and I would like nothing more than to see her and Portia tie the knot.Congrats girls, maybe being one of America's best loved talk show hosts will turn this into a catalyst for change across the country. ...

There's a reason why I should check out friends blogs before posting to here. I was beat to the punch on finding a YouTube posting of Ellen's announcement. In my defense, I don't have real internet access at work unlike sammy.the.k LOL. Also when I got home today, surfing the web was the last thing on my mind. I wanted to catch up on some TiVo then watch BSG. via: [the chaser blog] ...

In the privacy of their own homes, people will type quite interesting things into Internet search engines, thinking that no one can see what they're doing. But of course, people like me who have web sites can see! Thanks to statcounter.com, which is the web tracking service that I use, when someone lands on this blog from a search engine I can find out where in the world they are and what it was that they typed in that led them here :-).As is usually the way with these kind of things, it's surprising which posts regularly get ...

hey hey! i'm rushing around like a crazy person trying to get myself together for my 6am flight tomorrow to boston where i'll be attending the HOW design conference until next wednesday and since my brother lives in bean town we'll get to hang out a bit! right now i've got a brand new coldplay video (that features dancing politicians - i actually think it's quite brilliant - you must watch it) featuring the first single violet hill off the band's upcoming fourth studio album viva la vida (produced by brian ...

I had occasion to ask someone if they were out of the closet, and immediately apologized for asking such a dated question. His response was "100% out". Then he asked about my level of self love. My response:"I didn't get over to come back under!"In other news, congratulations to our brothers and sisters in California who did not win a victory, but forced others to acknowledge their defeat in bigotry. Light always shines through darkness. But, my friends, some of us need to start hitting light switches.Can I get an amen?Yes, Friday is for faeries. (LifeLube) ...

Yogyakarta ist eine Universitätsstadt in Indonesien. An die man vielleicht am Internationalen Tag gegen Homophobie, einem Aktionstag, an dem in zahlreichen Staaten gegen Homophobie demonstriert wird, einmal denken kann … Im November 2006 verabschiedete ein breit angelegtes Treffen von Menschenrechtsexperten in Yogyakarta die “Yogyakarta Principles on the Application of International Human Rights Law in relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity”. Die Yogyakarta-Prinzipien setzen auf einer Vielzahl von Feldern Menschenrechts-Standards zu sexueller Orientierung und Gender-Identität. Jedes Prinzip wird ergänzt um zahlreiche Hinweise für dessen Umsetzung in die Praxis. Die Yogyakarta Prinzipien bieten einen umfassenden und weit reichenden Ansatz für die ...

When you are in DC, you have to walk around with a tough look. Pictured with me are Jimbo and TJ. Don't let the cutting gazes fool you. They are really some nice looking fellows with sweet personalities. TJ and I ate the largest burritos I have ever seen at Dupont Circle. Jimbo had a sandwich from somewhere else. Jimbo and I went off exploring in the Washington Mall area to see some cool stuff, while TJ napped or had anal. We later all met backup to pig out once again, before heading out to Cobalt's and JR's (nice bars). ...

While playing email tag with Maxamillion Vaentin Eder, it was brought to my attention that we are 24 hours away from Vienna, Austria's Annual AIDS Fundraiser. And although I am planning a tour to teach yoga classes while visiting Vienna & Berlin, I won't arrive to Austria in time.Yet, if you're looking for something exciting, something new & fresh, something "out of the box" - get a ticket for an airplane & go experience the "Life Ball."

Ugh. It’s late, and I’m only just now getting around to catching up on my blog reading? What happened to the times when I’d check in at least once a day? Oh yeah. Right. I’m reading stuff going back to May 6th, sitting in my reader. (At that point I just mark everything read.) These days, I do most of my blog reading on the train, which means I do it offline. Google Reader is still my reader of choice, and thanks to Google Gears I can catch up on things in offline mode. But that’s still kind ...
