Hoopers
Would have been nifty to see this.

Words Are Sexy
Today's What Is Sexy Bit (W.I.S.B.):
Words are sexy.
Specifically, Lazy Geisha's words.
"It’s an intangible thing which makes something beautiful; that magnetic pull, that force majeure which reaches out and draws you in and lulls your senses into an erogenous dreamscape while simultaneously causing your mind to ricochet in new directions which then gives rise to that other intangible thing called inspiration.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been attracted to things of beauty, but most especially, people of beauty and people who make beauty. There’s something deeply unsettling (in a good way), and seductively attractive about artistic personalities; the painter, the poet, the writer, the sculptor, the musician – all artists in their own right, and each capable of bending the universe with the sheer will of their desire to make it conform into such precious things of beauty.
And yet perhaps the most universal expression of beauty which we all share on some level is the art of our sexuality; the joyous coupling of mind and flesh when bodies come together in such rapture and bliss; bodies bending, hot skin sliding against hot skin, waters of lust and love mingling in seas of ecstasy until this universe we create together explodes in complete and total release.
If that is not art… then art does not exist.
That's what SHE said!
From Randall Munroe's xkcd.

Holy Cow, Erin
You know those moments? When a turn of phrase grabs you and throws you down and you say YES! Well, Erin posted one of those today:
" ... the power of wishing upon a star is in the wish, not the star."

Opening Doors
"when one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one which has been
opened for us" - Helen Keller

Free Thinking
Because I have used corporate computers.
Because I work in the technology industry.
Because I know too clever geeks who can leap tall firewalls in a single line of CheatWare.
"Oh! Nice work, pixel Granny! Undermine those corporate oppressors on wit your bad self!"
Because I volunteer at the Georgia Aquarium.
Because I have an imagination that's not fond of firewalls.
Because I'm a free thinker.
Because I know the difference between logging off and logging out.
Because having Admin privileges doesn't suck.
Because I blog.
These are the reasons why I so totally loved this StrongBad e-mail, from work. Be sure to watch it. From work.
