In honour of this year, I present the Rooster (or Cock, if you're feeling snickery):
Don't screw everything up by speculating on and publicizing the deaths of people whose next of kin have yet to be notified.
How would you like it if your mother was reported to have died in an accident when she was actually alive and well?
A North Texas legislator during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt names that are “easier for Americans to deal with.”The comments caused the Texas Democratic Party on Wednesday to demand an apology from state Rep. Betty Brown, R-Terrell. But a spokesman for Brown said her comments were only an attempt to overcome problems with identifying Asian names for voting purposes.

Jerah: Thanks for the new roosterIan: You're welcome. Happy Fried Chicken Day.
Jerah: Thanks!
I didn't know Fried Chicken had a dayIan: It's a very special day.
First Monday of April.
We celebrate the goodness that is fried chicken, crispy or original, white or dark.
Ian: Not that I'm having any fried chicken today...
Yoghurt, apple and turkey slices for breakfast. Grilled salmon Greek salad for lunch. Chicken, cauliflower and brown rice for dinner. And I'm going to the gym now. Wheeee!
Elena: heh heh
ubernerd
[An hour later]
Ian: Okay... scratch the salad, bumping the dinner up to lunch, adding a smoothie... will figure out what to do for dinner later... maybe the salad. ;)
I was accused of being a normal person when heading off to the gym today.
Elena: who would say such a thing?
Ian: Someone on the tech helpdesk? ;)
Elena: bastard
Ian: =)
Elena: some people can be so mean
Ian: I looked at my lunch... brown rice, cauliflower, a chicken thigh, all cooked in a rice cooker (pressure cooker)... and realised that it would be far more romantic to call it Shades of Brown.
=)
It's his humour. Doesn't affect me. Kinda proud of it, actually. I'm breaking beyond the barrier of nerddom!
Elena: yes, into the barrier of malignant narcissists! why be normal?
besides, you sent me a spreadsheet about your narcissist test results, for heaven's sake
Ian: LOL
I have a spreadsheet for everything.
Elena: mmh mmmh.
Ian: [A leadership program I used to coach] has this spreadsheet that tracks all the participants' assignments, stats, etc.
They call it "The Grid."
As a joke, I made one for my dating.
Which, once made, was never used.
Elena: "joke", right
Ian: Feh. I have no idea how to track or measure success in dating. Not like there are assignments.
I suppose there are stats...
Elena: HAHAHAHAHA
oh you're killing me
Ian: Conversations, Contact Info Requested, Contact Info Received, Dates Requested, Dates Fulfilled...
Elena: wow
you will not every break the barrier from ubernerddom, I'm sorry, you can't even see the barrier from where you're sitting
but i love you just the way you are
Ian: 1st Base, 2nd Base, 3rd Base, Home Run...
=)
I will define my own hybrid class of nerddom.
Elena: HAHAHAHA
Ian: I'll be that overlapping piece of circles in the Venn Diagram of Nerddom.
Elena: can't wait to hear this
venn diagram of nerddom
i love it
way to own it, my friend
Ian: And just to prove to you--yes, you, my I Love Reading legal type friend--just to prove to you my shared nerdiness with your world...
I'm going to blog this.
There's just something so inspiring I can take from them to take out into life and live it.
I'm just broaching the surface on this TED stuff, but what I've seen so far has been absolutely amazing.
The video starts in the Midwest and ends in San Francisco.
Total nerdgasm watching it and wondering what cities were flown over. I think that giant mass of light around 15 s into the clip is Denver.
