Why yes, I haven’t posted in a while. Life has actually been too much of a distraction. But, when a naked girl climbs over to you for kisses every morning… who’s going to blame you for reduced postings?

Well, that aside, I was flipping through some of my random sites and decided to take a look on OKCupid. This is a bizarre little site that believes that it can pinpoint matches far better than any other site. It does so by asking you (over time) hundreds maybe thousands of little multiple choice questions.

All are incredibly open to interpretation and debate. You pick the one answer that best suits you; the up to all but one answer that you’d like your matches to pick, and how important this question is to your dating someone. (Or… you can just skip the question outright)

In the words of Hedy LeMarr, “Why am I telling you this?”

Well, one question popped up that sent my little Thelemic mind reeling. The question was as follows:

“Is your duty to religion/God even more important than your family” answer: Yes or No.

Gads. My gut instinct would be to put a resounding “NO” down. I’ve dealt with so many fundamentalists in my life that… that… and then I rethought the question…

time for Andrei’s world view…

CNN has been running non-stop coverage on Katrina’s rampage through the gulf region.

Several satellite uplinks had to be pulled down because the satellite dishes on vans act like giant sails on sea going vessels. As a result the van runs the risk of being physically picked up by the winds and flying into the air.

CNN is proud that they’ve been able to pull down nearly live footage without the use of Satellite. Repeatedly they have said the following:

And we’ve been able to deliver this footage here at CNN with an entirely new technology known as FTP

Okay, all together now…

BWAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA WOOOHOOOHOO HAHAHAHAHA

Such mighty technology. Next CNN will offer multiple graphics during the coverage with their secret weapon: Gopher.

Edit: And a live report from Mobile, AL just included the line: “And as you can see, Water street is under Water.”
The footage kept being interrupted with an emergency tone. The national CNN commentator said, “Well, it’s a good thing that we had that tone to cover all the explitives.” No really, she was serious and actually thought the emergency 1K tones were obscenity bleeps.

Either the director or this national commentator is not going to last at CNN very long.
