rough draft: perfect for irving daily publishing

Working lives in San Francisco became a little easier February 5, 2007. Everyone young and old, white and blue collar, part-timer and full-timer, literally everyone working within the 49 square miles of California known as SF received Paid Sick Time as legislated by City Law. For every 30 hours on the job, one hour accrued for anyone employed within city limits, even those drivers coming in from out of town! San Franciscans have won the right to be sick, and other cities are following suit. Presumptive nominee, Senator Obama, has endorsed the concept. (See 7;45 of the video for a recent statement)
The genesis of the law is described in the video below; it shows Sarah Flocks speaking of the roots of the measure while dealing with on-the-job issues in her community. The voters in SF passed the measure with over 60% support.
Tell your boss you think a healthy workforce and a contagion free workspace is good for business, and be ahead of the healthy workplaces trend.

Korean il(l)'s

An airbase inside a mountain is the latest sign that North Korea, whose links to Syria’s nuclear programme came to light last week, is cranking up its military machine

North Korean military engineers are completing an underground runway beneath a mountain that can protect fighter aircraft from attack until they take off at high speed through the mouth of a tunnel.

The 6,000ft runway is a few minutes’ flying time from the tense front line where the Korean People’s Army faces soldiers from the United States and South Korea.

The project was identified by an air force defector from North Korea and captured on a satellite image by Google Earth, according to reports in the South Korean press last week.

2 o'clock titty

Someone told me about the 2 o'clock titty that appears on St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco. I didn't beleive them but sure enough its true!! I wonder what Jesus would say??

Fishing for autographs

Taser Glove 1min 12 seconds. modern brass knuckles

What is strange is I found this guy after seeing his very peaceful video about a Flower Mart being shut down by the Academy of Art University (big ugly busses everywhere)...
Happy Purim, jerkasses.

I <3 Interfaces, Topdesk and Piclens

Topdesk: Vista is cool, but left me feeling it was lacking and was basically useless by default; then again you could say that about most stock OS's. Vista's FLIP3D function, however, is very useful in my opinion. Topdesk is a pay-for/find crack application which adds the FLIP3D "alt-tab" control to XP as shown above running close to flawlessly off a crappy Toshiba Sat with Intel chipset and half a gigabyte of memory.



Piclens: this is a relatively new but hyper-popular FireFox extension which adds a Kaleidescope-like picture browsing interface. It has a few caveats: namely you can NOT save pics from its captures, and it loses the ability to use Customize Google url spoofs which direct web images straight to jpg.

A godsend for Flickr journals with functionality in Google and Yahoo images and a bunch of other sites. Just mouse over the image, and a small button is floated over the image; press that and the application does its dirt. Feels a bit like being stuck in an Apple commercial without the trip to the Castro.

This is my crappy-lappy system running a rather large Piclens scroll of materials got from a Google image search for "bat shit crazy."

All I want for my birthday is a Heckler & Koch Automatic Grenade Launcher

I've thought long and hard about this, and I have decided that barring an M1-A Tank, I shall have one of these. It's good to the tune of 150 dead Taliban per use. Also it's slightly gangster in the right hands.

The best part of this story is the quote :

Keebler® Soft Batch® Chocolate Chip Cookies

I would just like to express my feeling of hatred towards the spastic team of executive primates at Kellogg and Keebler who could not manage to stock Chocolate Chip Soft Batch cookies in more than one supermarket in all of the 415 area code:

BELL MARKETS
3950 24TH ST
SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94114
(415) 648-0876

That's right; it's easier to score meth-amphetamine and crack cocaine in SFC than it is to get some cookies that "taste like they're right from the oven."
