Having Fun with Hotlinkers

I was watching the referrer log on my server today while testing something for work and happened to see that someone had hotlinked one of my pictures on newyork.craiglist.org. Some putz realtor was using a photo I made of the view of Downtown from the South Street Seaport to sell an apartment. People who hotlink should realise how easy it is to redirect to anything else...

Games to Play on Transit #12 & 3/16

Probably on of the most dehumanising things about transit, aside from being herded like cattle into large tin cans with wheels, is living in bizarre fractions of an hour. You find yourself thinking things like, "Oh, crap: it's 7:13! I'll never make it to the corner for the 7:37, but with luck the 7:43 trian will get me to the 8:22 bus so I'll only be 6 minutes late."

I Realise this is a Common Complaint

Nonetheless, weekend go by too damn fast. My reason for singing this common refrain, however, is not the usual one: my problem is not having enough time to get my work done.

Things that Make Your Whole Day

On my way to the SkyTrain this morning I crossed paths with one of the hundred richest men in Canada; he noticed me, looked down, and changed his path to avoid me. Me, I was ready to smile and say, "Hi, Al."

Looks like Al Thorlakson has a guilty conscience.
