Do Not Tempt the Wrath of the Whatever from High Atop the Thing

Listen. If you support Barack Obama for President of the United States, there’s only one thing for you to do. Go to your polling place and vote. Do not look at the numbers. Do not pay attention to the people in the magic talking box. Show up on November 4th (Hey, Virginia — everyone has to vote by the 4th, no matter what you might have read) or vote early. Just vote. No matter what, though, do not talk about winning.

If you’re guilty, go outside, turn around three times, and curse — or spit. We need change. We do not need the wrath from the whatever from high atop the thing.

World’s First Computer

Until now, Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine only existed on paper. But now, an absolutely gorgeous actual real live version has been built, and I am just giddy watching all those gears and cranks do their thing.
The Difference Engine
Watch it in action here.

Worst Ad Placement EVAR

Hotels.com really needs to get its money back from MSNBC for this ad. Nothing brings people running to your site like promises of amazing deals and credit card fraud.

We’ll Have a Homosexual Old Time!

The American Family Association, whose OneNewsNow site has a tab marked Persecution alongside Culture, Education, and Business, has a strict policy of automatically replacing the word “gay” with the word “homosexual” in all AP stories it posts.  This logical, well-thought-out policy, one that could never backfire or have any strange, unintended consequences, somehow caused this AP story –

Tyson Gay was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.
His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn’t count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind. Here’s what does matter: Gay qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he’s certainly someone to watch in Beijing.

“It means a lot to me,” the 25-year-old Gay said. “I’m glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me.”

to become this story –

I, for one, welcome our new Homosexual overlords.

All Hail the Lord of Silky Fabrics!

Hail Satin!This used to be a nice area.  That all changed when the Satinists moved in.  Now, we live in constant fear of having our houses vandalized because these reprobates want to show allegiance to their glossy cloth overlord.  Night after night, bands of roving, deliciously comfortable hooligans skulk through our neighborhoods, discussing warp-dominated weaving techniques and weft yarn.  It’s getting so you hardly dare to mention your love of cotton anymore — you could wake up with a burning cross-stitch kit on your front lawn like these poor bastards.

Words Fail Me . . .

… so I stole some.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
- e.e. cummings
