Took some pictures on the Gig Harbor waterfront and tried to synch them up with an old Garmin Forerunner to see if the location data came across in iPhoto, Posterous and Flickr.

So I guess this is the tank top that launched a cosmic kerfluffle.
So much so that the actress had start her own blog/twitter feed to respond. Even the producer weighed in (and by weighed in, I mean called everyone trolls and idiots.)

In between rain storms they managed to pour the foundation for the Port Orchard house. That chunk of concrete and pile of dirt should be a house by next spring.

Looks to be located right around the Tides Tavern. I better go investigate. (And by investigate I mean drink some beer.)

Child's Play 2009 Drive is underway
Tycho, on the Penny Arcade news page:
Child's Play 2009 is GO
It's back! The ultimate in friction-free, ultra-lightweight charity engines is here, ready to transform the slightest movements of your finger into much-needed respite for young people. Here's what's up:
We've got New Hospitals this year, a tender cross-section of facilities you've directed us to over the past year. Focus your Charity Beam on Dayton, Cleveland, Colorado Springs, Boise, Memphis, or (for Canadian readers) Victoria, Ottawa and St. John's. The Sponsors you see on the main page have gotten the ball rolling to the tune of two-hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Not a bad take before the thing even starts, huh?
Don't forget our annual Charity Dinner and Auction, which is reliably fun, productive, and delicious. We've also spun up a Twitter feed (@CPCharity) to keep you up to speed with the community's unstoppable charitable assault.

World of Warcraft Raid for the Cure
On October 28th of 2009, Julie, a member of the World of Warcraft guild Sidhe Devils on Kael’thas (US), revealed to us that she had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Her first treatment is scheduled to begin on November 9th.
To show our support and love for Julie while she takes on this new challenge, her friends in Sidhe Devils are organizing an event within the game of World of Warcraft that we’re calling the Raid for the Cure.
What it is
On Kael’thas (US), a united cross-faction walk across Azeroth will be held on Saturday, November 14th, starting at 2:00 PM Central Time (Kael’thas-US server time).
Members of both Alliance and Horde factions are invited to attend. Pink Mageweave Shirts will be handed out for all walkers, and all levels of characters will be welcome. If you’d like, bring your own shirt, or even make it a formal affair with your Festive Pink Dress!
The walk across Azeroth will not be a race of individuals, it will be a group march to show Julie our love and support.
We do want to help spread the word, and encourage donations in a cheerful way to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity, an organization that promotes information and awareness on early detection and treatment of breast cancer, and that supports funding for treatment and research towards a cure.

Man, I love this show. This season is really good, so far. Someone emailed me this MP3 when I mentioned on the plex.app forums that I really liked hearing the theme songs on each page of TV shows in the scraped listings. At slightly over 30 secs, I might be running afoul of Fair Use, so get it before the takedown notice. (Please don't sue me!)

Video games partly to blame for Richmond HS gang rape - San Francisco Chronicle
Take the poverty-driven frustration of inner-city Richmond, a youth street culture that glorifies thugs and applauds degradation of women, and the desensitization of young men through violent video games, music and language, and you have a template for trouble.
via sfgate.com
I thought we were past scapegoating video games for violent behavior but apparently not, according to SFGate's report on the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl at Richmond High School last week.
In addition to video games, the following items were cited as contributing to the attack:
- poor lighting
- the victim 'trying too hard to please the school's bad boys.'
- lack of fences
- 'street culture'
I have an idea, let's blame the fucking anti-social deviants that beat and raped a girl for 2-1/2 hours and left her semiconscious underneath a picnic table (and maybe drop Kevin Fagan a line and let him know what an awesome job he did writing that article: kfagan@sfchronicle.com )
There are plenty of people that grow up in situations as bad, or worse, and they somehow manage to avoid luring a girl into a dark courtyard to gang rape her.
