Tank Theory: designer threads, which is to say, the chest art is well designed. You won't find little horses, gilded LVs or swooshes.

Myles has been keeping his eyes open for new work, and has recently had a few interviews. Today he asked a prospective employer, "Have you ever missed a pay period?" I wouldn't have ever thought to ask that in an interview, but Myles knows better.

eBay actually has a category now called Weird Stuff: Totally Bizarre. Have any of you ever wondered who these people are that bid on this stuff on eBay? I think this is one of the weirdest things I've seen - and the bidding has escalated to almost $16,000! Warning: X-Rated Vegetable Here!

Congratulations to resident ukazu beer-drinker, back-slapper, and smack-talker Jonas, who was named Outstanding Graduating Senior for the Department of Finance at the W.P. Carey School of Business. If you speak at convocation, you have to say "ukazu" at least once.

The legacy: Stevo, Greg, Alex, Lutz, and now Jonas; we've got some sort of Skulls-like lock on this OGS thing. Wicked.

IBM New Hire Looking for Grad Student Roommate; c'mon, talk some smack, I'm asking for it.

Sea Lions are Really freaking cool!! Apparently their IQ is also higher than the average AKPsier. The US Navy has been using Sea Lions to protect it's ships from attackers, click on the link and follow those kooky creatures Alex and Zachary in their dangerous line of work.

It was a little awkward to read the comments with the most recent comment at the top, so I switched it up. Now, the first comment is the first listed, and you can proceed down to the bottom of the list, reading the comments in chronological order. Fabulous. Oh, and comments about the comments are appreciated.

See what New York Times Foreign Affairs columnist Thomas Friedman has to say about ever-present French recalcitrance regarding the Iraq issue. Does anyone else equate France with a spoiled baby sometimes? I'm all for people expressing dissent, but the French often seem to disagree simply out of pride and anti-American sentiment. Whiners.

Other articles to check out: Bush's refusal to fund his own education reforms (no surprise there) while he pushes his ill-conceived tax cuts for the rich, pushes the deficit over $300 billion and breaks the Congressional cap on our national debt. At the same time, he plans to raise the rent for the poor living in subsidized housing, claiming that it will "promote work" (apparently, Bush hasn't noticed months of job layoffs--everyone please welcome the newest members of our homeless population). When asked by Congress if Bush's fiscal policy amounted to trickle-down economics, the Treasury Secretary said that he preferred to call it "circular economics." Exactly what I was thinking.

Atlanta is still having trouble with water. Hopefully, their failures at water privatization will warn other communities that cutting costs means having "Must Boil" days--that is, unless you actually want to drink the dirt and bacteria.

Finally, Secretary Ridge of the new Homeland Defense Department has upgraded the terrorist alert system to orange, which means "high risk." This morning, the Washington Post informed those living in the DC and NYC areas to buy three days worth of food and water. Oh, and I can't forget the duct tape so I can seal myself off in my room. I'm hoping my roommate can score an extra gas mask from work (they had gas mask training yesterday in Congress). And do NOT, under any circumstances, think you can sneak into the bathrooms on the metro. There are suspicious, beady-eyed, Gollum-like people everywhere.

That's the news alert.

Steven got arrested for buying weed from a dealer on a street corner in Manhattan. Weblogs everywhere link and satirize: "Dude, you're getting a cell!", "Dude, you're getting a boyfriend!" etc.

Heading out in a million dollar jet aircraft with laser-guided bombs under thumb? Not without your dexadrine. Though we've decided it's bad for football players and truck drivers, the military says speed is a-okay for fighter pilots.

Rocket is a Japanese art gallery that is browsable via the hypertext transfer protocol. My favorites: Chris Doyle, Jo Jackson, and SK8 ON THE WALL.

"Big day for Oliver all around, as (his pedigree) arrived in the mail. He is now officially sanctioned (indeed, ‘highly recommended’) to bump nasties with hot bitches for money or bacon or what have you."

Fishing for squirrels with peanuts. Photographs were taken. The 'what' and 'how' have been explained. The 'why' has not been disclosed.

The past few weeks have been good for Andy Brown. He got an order from Urban Outfitters, he got invited to an exclusive trade show, and he got a job. Just when things couldn't get any better, he got an updated website. Stop by soldierleisure.com and check out the new, simpler soldier.

Why doesn't MSN work with Opera?

At Microsoft there must be a division of deviants. Maybe they call this division the sneaky bastard posse or the cheat to win crew, but it must exist. Like an elementary school bully, this group doesn't have anything to do except wait for some small, smart kid to open his mouth, and then wham! swing a fist in his kidneys. Really, that's the only explanation.
