I was surfing my newsreader and came across the following survey: Top ten things only men can can do.
- Go topless
- Hold our liquor
- Manscape
- Navigate spatially
- Shave our heads
- Play real sports
- Fertilize eggs
- Pee standing up
- F*** things
- Age well
Which was a little lot sexist, so I thought, I wonder what are the others are reading on the web, so I backed up to the home page for the site, and found another survey that they had done,
Sexuality Survey. I looked at it and wondered who came up with the questions, because many of the answers don’t correlate.
Then about a week later, Cosmo came up with their own rebuttal.
- Get preggers
- Fake it
- Ask for directions
- Look sexy while sipping fruity cocktails
- Live longer
- Have multiple orgasms
- Multitask
- Get a new last name
- Wear skirts
- Get out of a speeding ticket
- Become a cougar, not a dirty old man
- Wing it on the dance floor…convincingly
- Wear high-heels
- Flirt with the bouncer
- Blame it on PMS
- Grow out our hair
- Cover up a zit
- Get aroused without the entire room knowing it
- Wear a thong
- Get a manicure
- Make a longer list of our talents.

Just finished updating the blog to the newest versions of WordPress (2.6.1) and Gallery (2.2.5). It took me from yesterday afternoon until just now to fix all the things that caused it to break (deprecated code, version dependencies, invalid language attribute in the script tags in WPG2). Part of the problem was that I couldn’t get the new version of Gallery to overwrite with 3D-FTP when I tried to use all 20 threads; had to knock it down to 5 to keep the administrators happy that I wasn’t flooding the box.

What will we do when we use up all the natural resources… will we mine the landfills that we’ve created…
What about the resources we’ve sent in to space… will we send an expedition into low earth orbit to collect resources?
Does anyone other than the doctor think about these things?

Sometimes you just wonder… I came across this job posting on Monster.com today from a Credit Union looking for an IT Manager.
In the text of the posting, they identify themselves as, “As a 72 year old, financially sound, technologically advanced employer, you can count on us for competitive salary and benefits as well as career advancement potential. “
However when you read further, the technologies that they looking for someone to manage includes, “… modem pools; telecommunication systems preferable ROLM Model 30E; Unix, Citrix, Windows, DOS, Microsoft Office Suite, and other IBM or compatible software. “ DOS and ROLM? Modem pool! These are technologies that died or should have been retired around the turn of the Milleniem… and they have them still in production? Is this a third-world country? Nope, right here it the good old USA.
Just goes to show you that one persons “technology” is another persons “nightmare”.
Good luck to them finding someone who wants to walk into that mess for less than $150,000.00 US. The disaster recovery planning alone will cost them that…
