Symmetry Explorer

Symmetrize Flickr photos based on tag. Ones that turned out interesting to me were “bassethound”, “kiss”, “hippo” and, disturbingly, “boobs”.

Chandler 1.0!

Holy crap! The Chandler Project (“star” of the excellent book “Dreaming in Code”) has shipped version 1.0, a scant six years after it was promised. Whatever next? Duke Nukem Forever?

We need a better class of conservative

Taken from a comments thread on Current.com:

I agree, this site is supposed to be in the hands of the people, but it seems to be serving as a liberal propaganda machine. I am liberal but I still think there should be some sort of equality in the way news is reported. I do realize the majority of the people on this site have liberal views and therefore the site would have more liberal stories, but I would still like to see some conservative reporting and then discussed by the rest of the viewers. Also, has anyone noticed the conservatives on this site are borderline retarded?

It’s the last sentence that really gets to the root of the problem, IMO.
