Stolen Laptop Finder
I’m so installing Prey:
“Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only is it Open Source but also completely free.”
It reminds me of the script used to surreptitiously take photos in Cryptonomicon.
Charismatic
Metropolis has a remembrance up about Charisma Man: Man of the Moment
I remember the first Charisma Man strip in the Alien; I might have even saved it somewhere. The strip was hilarious because it was just so apt. I had no idea that it was used as an insult outside of Japan, though.
Note: On the official site, it seems the merchandising has gotten out of hand. Space suits and condoms sounds more like Western Woman’s type of thing.

This photo is floating around the net today.
I wish my great grandfather, who had a photo studio downtown, had taken this… He was probably in the camps by then, everything he’d worked so hard for lost forever.
It’s incredible to think that we are still making some of the same mistakes to this day.
Ode to my red compact two hole punch
Somebody stole my red hole punch,
the one I use for writing class.
It might just be misplaced,
but if I find the thief I’m gonna kick his ass.

It took a while to get a good take of this routine. I guess we’ll eventually find out if it’s legally binding or not!
