1. Three of those objects are now integrated into one piece of hardware, so this is really a choice, not a necessity.
2. Is it me, or does tom have a cheesy porn 'stache in the ID picture?
1. Well, yes and no. The PocketPC and the Sidekick can both do email, web and SSH. But only the PPC can do VNC, only the sidekick can do SMS and work (almost) anywhere. The PPC can play mp3s, but storage is more expensive per meg than it is for the ipod (and battery life is much worse). Gotta have the right tool for the job. Should such a job ever arise. Ok, I admit a treo would be a potential magic bullet, but service for that is pricey.
Also, it's a joke shot. I don't actually ever wear anything on my belt, except my ipod when I'm biking to the gym and don't want to take a backpack.
2. Never had a 'stache in my life, so I think it's just you. Or, more likely, the hologram in the ID. Anyway, if I did grow facial hair it would no doubt be cheesy but not, I think, in a porn-star kind of way. Porn consumer, maybe.
That article is very disturbing! Though perhaps a logical extension of cybersex.
Re: That article - yeah.
All I could keep thinking was "why?"
Guess it's a trick of the holograph but that doesn't look like a porn 'stache so much as a full Bolton. Relevance to point 2 is left to the reader.
I'm rather vexed with Salon, having earlier today gone through the DayPass routine, only to find at the 6th page of an 8-page story that I had to re-enter it all again. And again. And a third time. And then I got another page. And had to enter it all again.
So, eff em, I'm not going back again today. But haven't you been reading any of the writing about teledildonics in the last year or so? Regina wosshername at Wired writes about it all the time. I mentioned it here in January. Amygdala, your Guide To The Future, Today.
In any case, I did want to ask if anyone missed f-cking?
You know, before I managed to make the picture work, I was pictureing a leather belt with "I am Utility's bitch" debossed into the leather, like one of those cowboy-style belts where one's name is punched into the leather. In my mind, it was quite the Millsian fashion statment.
In my mind, it was quite the Millsian fashion statment.
I do hail from Texas, but those kinds of belts have never been my look.
"I am utility's bitch"
I am inertia's bitch.
You're just now hearing about teledildonics? Jeez, ogged, I bet I could go out into the street here (in Livingston, Montana) and half the people I asked would know about it.
I must run in more innocent circles, here, far from Livingston, Montana.
Billings has a thriving gay community, one member of which has been HIV-positive for more than 20 years. True fact.
I have a couple of friends who are approaching twenty years with HIV. Despite the occasional scary bout with this or that infection, both still look healthy, and one regularly competes in (and wins) amateur tennis tournaments.
I'm going to be in Portland sometime tomorrow. Who thinks I should sidle up to older, bookish-looking gentlemen and ask them if they know a "zizka"?
Who thinks that the most likely response is "No, but if you can hum it, I can fake it"?
