Techdirt: Gee, How Did These Boobies Get On My Screen?:

Gee, How Did These Boobies Get On My Screen?
from the so-many-accidents! dept

We’re generally pretty skeptical about every single study that talks about personal surfing at work — because, without fail, they all seem to be funded by companies looking to sell web filters. The latest such study is, indeed, funded by a firm trying to sell filters, but has one amusing point. While not that many people actually do end up surfing porn at work (16% of men and 8% of women), only 6% of men and 5% of women claimed they surfed pornography at work on purpose. Of course, if that’s the case, can someone explain why 10% of men are seeing porn accidentally, while only 3% of women are? Are men just naturally “accidentally” surfing to more sites that may include porn, or is someone being a little less than truthful? Seems more like people are answering the survey based on what they think they should say, rather than what’s true.

So, how exactly do you accidently get to a porn site?

Anyone who doesn’t know who this is should really start reading at this link, then read some of his work.

On the one hand, Bucky is a model of potential for those distopian pessimist such as myself. A man who actually believed that he could make changes, that there was a glimmer of hope for survival of our species.

On the other hand, many of the amazing ideas he had have not been given the appropriate amount of time and thought by the “leaders” of the “spaceship earth” (his term) Thus strengthening my prayers of doom I recite each night before sleep.

Future Feeder » Biotech:

Bio-Paper for Printing Organs Thursday, November 10th, 2005 An emerging branch of medicine called “organ printing” takes a patient’s own healthy cells and uses a printer, cell-based “bio-ink” and “bio-paper” to create tissue to repair a damaged organ. A new hydrogel or “bio-paper”,developed by the University of Utah College of Pharmacy, enables printing of organs by layering thin sheets embedded with cells. The cells and liquid hydrogel are put in the printer cartridge and then dropped into three-dimensional, 1-microliter dots that form layers as the hydrogel hardens. The cells form tissue that can be implanted into a damaged organ. Glenn D. Prestwich believes testing will begin on humans in the next year as research pushes to repair damaged organs in real-time.

I’ve added a public Google Notebook to the links on the right. Always the technophile, I’ve jumped onto this new service from Google. I may be easily over-hyping its potential, however, what the future holds for it may prove me right. Essentially, its much like del.icio.us, where you can catalog your travels on the Internet, except, instead of just bookmarks, you can clip images, text, etc. Then you can either keep it private or public. It has a very blog-like feel. I’m going to continue testing it, feel free to visit the public research notebook.  What I’m really looking forward to is the integration to other google services.

At the same time…I’m not sure if I want all of this information in the hands of such a beast? Google has said that they want to “organize the worlds information” no real specification on whether that’s private or public information. I won’t be putting my private information up anytime soon anyways, so ladies, I’m afraid you’ll have to keep imagining the majesty that is the Monkey King. (heh..ahh…even I laughed a little there)

One month, two weeks, and counting before I leave the little country Alaska. I’m off to the Emerald City, Seattle, where I hope to disappear in obscurity. The alien doctors will never find me there.

I don’t have a job lined up yet, which causes some minute amount of stress. I’m going to attempt to get a foothold into the “writing” market there. This means that I might be working on homeless people’s signs for a bite of a mold-ridden sandwich. There seems to be quite a few writing jobs in the Seattle market, however, when adding the number of writers to the equation, the outcome does not look good. I need all those who read this to give me their hopeful thoughts, you must beat your head against the monitor to get them here, you may lose a few IQ points, but its for a good cause.
