Wait right here, I’ll be right back

WTF

I have a lot of reasons why I have a draconian relationship with phones and e-mail.

Avoiding a 24/7 work week is one of them.

I learned a long time ago the office needs to stay at the office, so the only non-office contact number I give is my residential land line. I don’t check work e-mail at home, mostly because I’m not set up for it, which of itself is a way to keep distance.

It helps that I’m not in a management position, and that too is deliberate. I don’t believe in climbing a ladder to be more successful — I move laterally.

I fucking hate memes …

Oh God, Memes ...

… but this one looks like something I can get into. Besides, I’m stealing from Gwen, so it can’t be all that bad.

Out there

Administrative

So here’s a conundrum …

I recently redesigned Musicwhore.org to allow music-related blog posts, which means a lot of the content I’ve put here in the past will probably end up there in the future.

Which means this site is going to be lacking content. And given the month between this update and the last update, this particular lot in saibaasupeesu is going to be a bit barren.

What to do?

Never mind him …

Teh Gay

Antonio Sabato, Jr. plays gay in the film Testosterone, in which he plays the ex-boyfriend of a burnt-out graphic novelist. And while his photo spread in the Advocate is indeed luverly, I’d much rather see this film for David Sutcliffe, who played Rory Gilmore’s father Christopher on Gilmore Girls.

When I saw Sutcliffe play Christopher, he tripped my actor’s gaydar — that is, I could picture him playing a gay role convincingly. Plus, he’s pretty — when his hair is cut, though.

Flash in the pan

Technophilia Professional

Just when I thought I couldn’t find another reason to love Firefox …

Animated GIF ads were bad enough in 1996, but Flash ads? So much evil is committed with Flash, it’s really, really tough not to blame the tool.

But a search for “block flash ad mozilla” led me to the AdBlock extension. And what a wonderful extension it is. Now a useful albeit shitty site like Zap2It is much less annoying!

I can’t wait to use it on a Flash ad obnoxious enough to block content!
