Via Mernit’s a rather provocative picture of (what I presume is) art: women wrapped up in meat packages (link only, NSFW [possibly]). It reminds of a couple of years ago, during Alfons’ second visit to Canada (his first one was … Continue reading →

Interesting discussion between Alan (website) and Cory (website), as pointed out by Alfons). I find it hard to formulate the right words in the whole discussion, noting that I find this part of the law is a moral mudpit of … Continue reading →

There’s both dismissive and speculative talk abound about Google Talk, Google’s IM and VoIP application for Windows. The point of the Google talk isn’t all about ‘another IM contender or so’, ‘evil empire’ or ‘Skype is next’. Nope: Google supports … Continue reading →
