Thanks again, to the President that took our good name and utterly ruined it globally. Thanks again to the complete fools that elected this fool, who was completely and utterly unqualified to run a baseball team (which he failed at) let alone a world superpower. January 20th can’t get here any sooner.
Only took 32 years and a civil rights movement happening to coincide with it, but some of my work is finally in print, sorta. The Stranger used three of my photos November 20, 2008 edition, on the “Anatomy of a Protest” (click for the online version) article on page 16. It’s in the free news boxes now all over the Seattle metro area, and the photos are from my Prop 8 Seattle protest photos. Silly little thing, but it made me happy.
I joined in today at the rally at Volunteer Park in Seattle, Washington, which then became a march across Capitol Hill, down Pine Street, and finally into a huge celebration and second rally at Westlake Center. I guestimated about 10,000 people, and am seeing estimates online now of 6,000-9,000. It was amazing, and a strong nationwide civil rights action. There were protests and actions in nearly all major American cities, it looks like. These are my photos:

Found by Warren Ellis, creepy Wil:
If you’re distracted by lolcats at work all day, new evidence from evolutionary biology suggests it’s not your fault. A study from Yale explains that human visual attention evolved to track images of animals — and lolcat images awaken our buried evolutionary impulses.

Adama for President by Xaotica, on Flickr. Found I presume somewhere in Seattle:
You will win a fantastic prize in the form of a yes/no confirmation. Scearley is void from entering as he supplied the original image inadvertantly.
EDIT: Damn, that was fast, Tobey Cook in one - Ed Sullivan.
I noticed today that I was getting a ton of hits (by my standards, a ton) for an image of Hayden Panettiere, who plays Claire Bennett on Heroes. I couldn’t figure out where on Earth they were all coming from, until I just ran a Google Images search for her, which you can see here. As of now it still shows my site as the last entry on the first page. The funny thing is, until this post, I never had a picture of Hayden or Claire on this site. I do have my Livejournal Image Randomizer, which links off of each page, and on the top right of each page loads the most recent image on each reload. It’s not really technically random–Livejournal publishes an RSS feed of all the images linked inline on every recent LJ post, and the PHP scripts I borrowed and tweaked from other sites just trawls the last 1 or 10 entries, depending on where I use it.
Anyway, this is the page on my site that they were ending up on from Google Images. It’s specifically this page, the June 29, 2006 archive, in case that long Google URL goes dead. The actual picture of Hayden was probably linked from the Livejournal feed at the exact moment that Google crawled that page, and voila! People are coming looking for hottie pictures of Claire and find me grumbling about holes in socks, and my review of Superman Returns. This is the picture they were after…
Want to hear Wil’s keynote that I mentioned he did at PAX yesterday? Go here. How did it open? Ha!
“Thank you. My name is Wil Wheaton, and Jack Thompson can suck my balls. This keynote has been rated MA by the ESRB.”
Go listen! Andi also has pics of us and Wil up…
My friend Douglas totally found ANOTHER angle of this guy’s jump kick that I linked here from Digg. Pure SEX.
The absolute best jump kick you will ever see.

Sheer cajones and cool. Go see. If you don’t know who Kevin Mitnick is, read this.
From this post, about this image, more here. They’ve begun Photoshopping the guy:
I have no idea…
The sign in this picture is priceless.
Ever think of visiting Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? Yikes.
Seen over by 9th & Stewart.
Also, what is the name of the actual font that is used for doing image macros? The ‘real’ font… I need its name, so that I can make these the right way myself!

Condi Rice is photographed in front of the Hungarian flag:
pwned by my countrymen, and wow that’s an unfortunate photo.
