Stock Photo Showdown

In the spirit of the Stock Tips post on the lovely DreamHost Blog, I bring you TypeFrag’s totally rad gamer pics:

Pierced Guy

Obviously a badass.

Cutie

Hey… how you doin’?

Yeah, she knows she's a looker.

How you doin’ take two.

They really should have gone for makeup...

HERPES!

Please don't eat me...

ZOMBIES!

Hi.

Token minority!

What's worse, not enough makeup or bad makeup?

What the fuck is up with her eye shadow?

The winner is: not enough.

HERPES take two!

New Toys!

Just added a couple of new plugins to the site: Twitter Tools and WordPress Mobile Edition.

Twitter Tools is pretty slick.  Right now I have it set-up to post a daily digest of my Tweets (see default version here) and also allow me to update Twitter when I make a new blog post.   I’m not so sure how I feel on that feature, I have it enabled (but off by default) now.   I mean, it makes sense to answer “What are you doing?” with “Writing a blog post, here it is!”  Especially considering how intermittent these posts are and all.

WordPress Mobile Edition… I need to test out and my BlackJack just isn’t cooperating at the moment.  There’s another plugin that apparently does something similar, but this is the newer one so I went with this one first.

Right as soon as I log onto Xfire:

What the hell?

Yes folks, economics does work out.  Exports Help Economy to Modest Growth, from the NYT.

I just find it hilarious that people fail to understand that a falling dollar makes our exports more attractive.  That of course helps close our insanely-high trade defecit and guess what, helps the economy.

It’s just like China… except without the artificial undervaluing… and less widespread human rights abuses (hopefully).

Secretary

So, I just watched Secretary (on the prompting of f13) and… I really don’t know what to think.  Well, outside of realizing that “Yes folks, James Spader can get more creepy.”

I liked it quite a bit though, I must say.
