dive into mark

Last weekend someone told me that there was no male counterpart to female intuition. i.e. There was no such thing as male intuition. Which is crap. Men may not be the brightest bulbs in the bunch, but we can sense one thing: when we are being introduced to our girlfriend’s next lover. Trust me. I’ve been on both sides of this.

On today’s hardware, I can build the HTML, PDF, Word, and plain text versions of Dive Into Python in 3 minutes. This took 12 minutes 2 years ago. Moore�s Law. Mooooooore�s Laaaaaaw.

Overheard: Oh, now I see why you’re divorced.

I am strongly in favor of allowing heterosexuals to continue to marry. I don’t believe, as some people do, that only homosexuals are capable of loving, committed relationships. I know, 50% divorce rate, blah blah. That doesn’t mean people should be denied the opportunity solely based on their sexual orientation. It’s not like being heterosexual is a choice.

I also feel strongly that sighted people should be empowered to use the Internet. I don’t care how well-structured and semantic your markup is; if it doesn’t look good on screen, you’re discriminating against people who can’t afford screen readers, and that ain’t right.

BigCo wisdom of the day: the commute is hellish, and the bureaucracy is staggering, but sometimes there’s free cake.

I’m having my eyebrows waxed on a regular basis now.

That’s it, really.
