What NOT to get me for Christmas

As you may or may not know, I'm especially squeemish when it comes to exposed brains. I once was channel surfing and Discovery or TLC was showing brain surgery and I started hyperventilating. I've gotten better about it but I still wouldn't want to go to Hannibal. Anyway, this brain gelatin mold is just the thing to not get me for Christmas.

Again, too late for Halloween

This U.S. Customs article from 2001 has pictures of people trying to cross the border in or as parts of a car.

What won't get you the job

We're looking to fill a new position so we are, yet again, trudging through resumes. I'm accustomed to tech geeks not being too strong wit de social skills or writing skills but I do find spelling and grammar errors in resumes and cover letters a bad sign. We don't automatically send them to the trash bin, in fact one of our better candidates had the most errors, but it can tip one into the "No" column. I thought this sentence from a recent cover letter was most unfortunate:

I am very hard worker and a stickler for details.

The Condensed Playboy

Really interesting images (SFW) created by taking all the Playboy centerfold images for each decade (60s-90s) and combing them. There's not a lot you can say about changes over time other than average skin tones and hair color have become lighter over time.

The artist, Jason Salavon, does a lot of work involving such extreme digital manipulation.
