What girl[friend]s need to know about their geek boyfriend(s)

Looks like this video hit home for a lot of people. I was surprised that even friends of mine who knew nothing of technology, would even know about this videocast; sure enough, it was because of their geek “partners.”

I really have nothing else to say about this aside from the fact that whether women (or men) like it or not, the geeks will inherit the future. Technology will only progress, and will, little by little (or by leaps and bounds) integrate more and more into society… those who “control” technology will be on top, that’s inevitable.

I’m really glad that my GF and I don’t have this sort of problem. I’m a geek and she’s a nerd, so I guess we already realized way before that there are some “wierd” things about each other that we’ll never understand and will just have to accept 😉

Lies Cosmo Tells Women

Here’s a nice “article” taken from Double Viking (linked through from Digg) That exemplifies the rubbish magazines like Cosmopolitan spits out. The author says it best:

Cosmopolitan Magazine has become a bible for the martini swilling, fashion conscious, and orgasm starved female. While this magazine has been helpful to women by aiding them in achieving the perfect bikini wax, it has regularly clouded their minds about men. In fact, I would say that Cosmopolitan has done more damage to men than Barry Bonds has done to baseball.

I Wholeheartedly agree with this, as does my GF. She even pointed out that the regular features like Understanding His Baffling Behavior say the same goddamn thing differently over and over again, and makes it seem like they have some new juicy information on the male psyche when in fact it’s the same old garbage recycled.

I’ve repasted verbatim the contents of the Double Viking article to save you the jump and included some of my input where applicable.

Just so my blog doesn’t rot

Been so busy recently, the holiday season’s always the busiest both for work and our choir.

But after one of our concerts, for some reason we ended up making fun of Beowulf. Perhaps it was the fact that one would notice that he kinda screams his name a lot… too much in fact. So as a tribute to that, and a few minutes with Photoshop, I present the movie summary of Beowulf in a single image.

That’s right! I’m goddamn Beowulf, motherfucker!

Regarding yesterday

While I’m sure there are many reasons for both sides. From a person who stopped caring (at least for the most part) for this country’s political regime(s) here’s what I think.

Yesterday was a display and vindication of idiocy for both sides, which just further proves that our country’s going right to the shitter.

Overall here’s what I think: Maybe if we had more serious consequences for stuff like this and actually followed through with them, people would think twice before they try pulling any shit. This is not to deter these types of acts, mind you. These conditions are to make sure that the people who really start these sorts of things really mean business. And I honestly think that Trillianes or any other modern day activist in the Philippines is just not motivated enough to merit the right to be pulling shenanigans like this. And I’ll tell you why.
