I’m On My Way

I’ve decided to drip drip the couple of things I’ve written over the next few days so as not to overwhelm.
Enjoy!
The Difference Between Men and Women

This story has inspired me to do my own experiment, except posting as a hetro-guy looking for ?some fun? with willing women. Oh, and I’ll find a model to use as a picture.
Because I don?t think that they?ll respond in the same numbers. I think that this is a guy thing, so let’s see. By the way what this guy did should be illegal ? and I won?t post any of the responses. Stay tuned in November for the results.
A guy who identifies himself as Jason Fortuny, a 30 year old network administrator, posted a graphic ad on Seattle’s Craigslist, pretending to be a woman wanting some BDSM sex.
Not surprisingly, many men responded, many with photos and more than a few with pics of their genitals.
Some used their work accounts, provided their real names and gave out their cellphone numbers. One looks to be a contractor for Microsoft, while another used a .mil address to reply.
Fortuny, whose MySpace profile says he likes to “push people’s buttons” then posted all the photos and correspondence on what may be the web’s lamest wiki, Encyclopedia Dramatica.
On Capitalism

“This, in brief, is why capitalism won. It’s the only system that understands that we’d all like to change the world, but we are way too lazy for that sort of thing.”
Washington Post Feb.7,2006.
Thank You Everyone!

For celebrating my birthday with me and contributing to our little UNICEF fund. So far we’ve raised $690.00 in 2006, well on our way to reach $1,000 by the end of this year.
That is equivalent to about 6 of UNICEF’s school in a box. Each school in a box provides all of the supplies needed to provide children with a makeshift classroom in areas stuck by poverty or disaster.
Originally designed to provide basic education for children living in refugee camps following the Rwanda crisis in 1994, UNICEF’s school-in-a-box is now used in other emergencies worldwide.
The purpose of the kit is to ensure the continuation of children’s education in the first 72 hours of an emergency. Every country affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami received school-in-a-box kits, as did communities in the U.S. Gulf Coast affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
Virgin Atlantic Bans Laptops
by Anil Polat | Sep 28, 2006 | Travel | 0
Not because of any security-related reason. Virgin Atlantic (the best way to fly by the way) has banned the use of Dell and Apple laptops on all of its flights and joins Korean Air and Quantas (Australia).
The reason is because these laptops pose a fire risk due to the problem with their exploding batteries.
If you are flying any of these airlines you can use your laptop in seat that provide an electrical outlet (mostly first class and some business class). The laptop batteries must fly in your checked baggage properly wrapped up.
If your seat doesn’t have a plug for your laptop you’ll just have to make due watching movies and sleeping.
Have a safe flight.
