Are our ethics ingrained in our genetic code?
Who knows?
I’m just jotting this down for my ethics class. I can say I read something about ethics and get back some much needed points to escape this class with a B or B+!
From xkcd, a funny webcomic. Fun for geeks and math nerds as well.

Twenty-five years ago Grace Kelly with her daughter in the passenger seat runs her car off a twisty road in Monaco. Her daughter survives but Princess Grace is dead. The official cause of death was a stroke. But there were other suspicions. Doubtful. It was eerily similar to a scene in Hitchcock's "To Catch A Thief." She weaves her way around the windy, twisty roads of the French Riviera with only Cary Grant to save her.
Where was her Cary Grant?
Will there ever be another one like her?
Steve Jobs, that magnificent bastard, has started giving us early iPhone adopters $100 back.
Woot!

IPhone distorts some of the pictures it takes. I don’t know technically how it happens. It seems that most of the image processing is done via software, and it is slow in reacting to the moving image. So when iPhone writes to its flash storage, it captures the movement as well.
I also got one of those defective cameras which distort the image color. Most of my photos come out with a greenish tinge. While I would love to take it back for replacement, I like how it makes the image a tad more interesting.
The deficiencies makes for some interesting photos.

da. da. da da-DAA.
Seriously though, this looks awesome.
Hopefully, Favreau picks up the pace and makes it a tight movie. I know next to nothing about Iron Man. So I don’t know how neat this is going to be. Perhaps that’ll make it less sucky-disappointing when I do watch it.
I’m saddened by this six year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Have we learned anything from them?
I have a feeling that we decided, in anger, to do something. Anything. And it was being led by president fucktard that we haven’t gotten anything done.
Bin laden is still out there. He’s taunted us again and again.
But all our government can do is say, “Dick Cavett!”
Can’t we do anything right?
School has started. Taking two classes. It’s going to be an interesting year.
Both are reading and discussing classes. The first one is a business school class, ethics and social responsibility. I’m glad to know that they like to teach it to the MBA majors, but the corporation is an entirely different beast. The second is software engineering maintenance and software evolution. Sounds boring, but that is also my job. It’s boring, too.
Meh. I’m not complaining. Yet.
