Not My Desk - Temp Journal

SwearBear.com cursing keyboard
Remember those keychains with 3 or 4 buttons on them that would say things like "eat shit!", "you're an asshole", "fuck you", etc.? This is sort of like that, only with a musical twist.

Harvey the mouse must die.
Now, this is a war campaign that I find much more interesting to read about than the "war" in Afghanistan.

The geeks who saved Usenet
You've no doubt heard about Google's Usenet archive being released in the last little while. Did you know that it was, in large part, due to the efforts of a University of Toronto zoology department employee named Henry Spencer? Cool.

BBS Documentary
The proprietor of textfiles.com has started a new project - to film a documentary all about the days of BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems). You know, those things we used to dial up for mail and files before we could access the Internet? Well, some of us anyway.

Y2Khai.com
I'm not sure what the term would be for an Asian youth impersonating a black gangsta rapper, but that's pretty much what you'll find here. I'll bet if you actually listen to rap, you'd find this a lot more funny, but as it is, kinda funny anyway.

New study help for Japanese students
I don't know whether to be sick or laugh my fucking guts out. Them kooky Japanese, eh? The writing style looks so much like a tabloid that I have a hard time believing the story.

Download the Internet
This reminds me of a (somewhat clueless) computer teacher who, around 1996, asked one of the techs at the place I worked, "Well, why do we need an Internet connection? Why doesn't some company just put it on CD so we could share it over our own network?". Words fail me.. anyway, here's an amusing visual representation.

Why I Love Christmas, by John Waters
One of my favourite directors shares a nice, sarcastic view of Christmas. If I had this one before Christmas, I'd have posted it then - on the other hand, there is still Ukrainian Christmas coming up.
