Out of Order

I am working from a new laptop. It’s strange using a smaller screen; everything displays differently. Even the colors are different.
This is also my first attempt at using PhotoShop CS5. I miss the shapes, fonts and brushes that I collected and installed in CS4. I’ll eventually migrate most of them to this laptop.

The sky is changed— and such a change! O’ night
And storm and darkness! Ye are wondrous strong,
Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light
Of a dark eye in woman! Far along,
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among,
Leaps the live thunder.
Poem from Lord Byron, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage

Tour De Toilette

Tour De Toilette

Anna Haase offers a toilet tour in Berlin, Germany. Before you rush off to Berlin however, you may wish to experience Japanese toilets as an interesting alternative. Better yet, visit Chongqing, China and see the world’s largest bathroom which is located in a four story building offering more than 1,000 toilets. But remember to bring toilet paper…

After they use the bathroom they will be very, very happy.
Quotation from Lu Xiaoqing

2.5 billion people worldwide are without access to proper sanitation, which risks their health, strips their dignity, and kills 1.8 million people, mostly children, a year.
Quotation from the World Toilet Organization. Don’t forget to celebrate World Toilet Day on November 19th.

The Happiest Piglet

The Happiest Piglet

I am the happiest piglet in the world. I’m done with finals. The instructor told me I had enough credits for an A (afterwards!) and that I didn’t really have to take the final exam.

I know that if I’d had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn’t have got anywhere. You don’t take exams for acting, you take your courage.
Quotation from Dame Edith Evans

They only ask you one question, they say ‘Who are you?’ and I got seventy-five per cent on that.
Quotation from Peter Cook

In Excel, Space is a Character

In Excel, Space is a Character

They say the universe is endless. They say the universe is expanding. These are the same people that tell you “If you want to know how something works, follow the money.” I’m certain some genius has designed a spreadsheet to explain how this is possible.

Expressed in the usual variables of general relativity, it may appear that our usual space and time are disappearing. However, viewed with the proper variables, our usual space dimensions actually remain infinite and time runs continuously. The transition from big crunch to big bang is due, instead, to the collapse, bounce and re-expansion of one of the extra dimensions.
Quotation from Paul J. Steinhardt, The Endless Universe: Introduction to the Cyclic Universe

School is going well. Casual observation, however, suggests the universe is neither endless nor expanding. The universe is a box and I am trapped inside. In Excel, the spreadsheet software from Microsoft, this is called absolute cell referencing. It is the reason why Encore Seraphine updates have become as rare as refracted rings around a summer moon.

Government by the Peephole, for the People, shall not Perish

Government by the Peephole, for the People, shall not Perish

It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself— anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: Facecrime.
Quotation from George Orwell, 1984

Let Me Go

Bathrooms are safe havens, like embassies. They should be treated as “native soil” for anyone seeking peace and a sense of place. They are a place of refuge. No trespassing!

What the Pakistani People Would Tell Obama (LA Times)

There’s been a view that the U.S. is willing to sacrifice Pakistan’s democracy to preserve its own.
Quotation from Fasi Zaka

“It’s Owner Occupied”

“It’s Owner Occupied”

Pooping is a shared human experience, so why do most people prefer “privacy” when they use the toilet? Public bathroom hint #1: Don’t use the toilet located directly in front of the mirrors, because people will be able to see you. Bathroom hint #2: Girls don’t fart.
P.S. Today’s my birthday. In honor of such, please feel free to sit on one cheek.
