Gay Bomb

There was a time when I believed the USAF was the “smart” branch of the US military. I was apparently mislead.

Gay Bomb?

As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, “One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior.”

The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

Zude Beta

I cannot believe Zude Beta launched without support for Firefox. Insane.

Update – just a few minutes after original post. Matt from Zude very quickly emailed me to remind me that there is “early support” for Firefox. And I will add that I realize this is a “private beta” testing. I’m just surprised. Particularly since whatever early support means – it doesn’t mean you can upload your image to Zude using Firefox, but you can with IE. It also doesn’t mean you don’t get weird error messages when attempting to save work with Firefox.

Also, the Zude folks are nice enough to provide several Firefox user messages all over the site. At least they did not pretend they were ready for Firefox users… This one is my favorite:

Regrettably, Firefox support for Windows, Mac, and Linux will be delayed in order to fine-tune its release. If you are interested in participating in a private beta for Firefox, please click here to let us know.

LoL

I’m tired of the LoL cats. I’ve been tired of them since the first day I saw them. Yes I’m the one who sent some geeky friends the LoLTrek thing, and it is amusing. But really. I’m done with this LoL thing. Except, wait. I am finding the LoLesbians a wee bit amusing. Including the late “comer” – here.

Now, I’m sure I’m really done with the LoL thing.

I’m no Billy Donovan but…

For a few days now TW has been calling me “Billy Donovan”. I have been less than amused. I may live in Gainesville, drive through UF everyday, but I am not UF fan. Heck I suggested Spurrier come back and take his place. See, I can’t even keep my football and basketball coaches straight.

I do have some stuff in common with Billy right now. But I’m smarter than he is. Even without a career coach. Oh wait, my mom and TW happen to be pretty good career coaches. Maybe he should have walked across campus and talked to TW before he made his decision – and then changed his mind.

BlogHers ACT

bloghersact_0.gifElisa announced the brand new and very exciting BlogHers Act initiative today.

Have you ever imagined the impact if every member of BlogHer – more than 11,000 bloggers strong and growing every day — focused our considerable brainpower, ingenuity and influence on one red-hot issue? How about if that one red-hot issue was the focus of an organized, year-long campaign to make a measurable difference that this community cares about?

Cooper and Emily have posted the information you need to participate. And the always amazing Suzanne has posted the very first suggestion: Early Childhood Education and Care.

What’s your issue for 2008?
