People, Machines, Designed, We're all living in the future yada yada

None of these are from really enigmatic sources just the usual channels. But, for some reason I'm blown away with the stuff in them this week.

"What they know" is a pretty nifty and well done explanation of tracking devices (of the software nature not james bond nature) cookies, beacons and yummiest of all flash cookies. One thing that was annoying was upon returning to the site for the second time I couldn't click around till I'd gone through the intro tutorial again.

Hey Jared, what's up?
I'm just going to admit that you and one guy from South America are my only readers. Here's a video of me being pretty silly.

from lake lacking élan vital...

In the forest deep...

does lie a rindle...

with a riddle...

In the mosses keep...

a beardless Gnome calls it home...

how does one ford the blood river?

the depths unknown...

ahh but the Gnomes staff of grace...

Did lead us back from our rocky peril...


I would like to thank the thesaurus and the ellipsis...

Atrocities of Graphic Architecture

Because I know a thing or two about Graphic Atrocities... Sorry I couldn't find higher resolution specimens. I'm sure you get the idea.

If you really need advice on bonding things on a molecular level (I do once and awhile) look no further than thistothat.com

So like I said earlier I was part of a Jury we found a guy guilty of raping his ex-girlfriend's mom. One thing I will say for him though at least he didn't throw feces at us.
