LOST episode posters

Ever-awesome graphic design site Abduzeedo gives us this:
These are episode posters that designer Gideon Slife has come up with. I chose to show you the best in my opinion, but at his flickrstream you will find many more until the 4th season. I hope you all enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

Back to business

Enough with the smartphone shit; we already know they're haraam. I give you Jordan Carver being simultaneously busty, sweaty, greasy, and dirty while scuffing her knuckles on a chopper. Leave one of these at a bar and I'll gladly lay claim.

Breakfast Granola for 4/30/10

I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on the internets, so here's your nickel consultation: California Penal Code Chapter 5 -- Sections 484 to 502 -- define larceny. PC485 deals with found property:
One who finds lost property under circumstances which give him
knowledge of or means of inquiry as to the true owner, and who appropriates such property to his own use, or to the use of another person not entitled thereto, without first making reasonable and just efforts to find the owner and to restore the property to him, is guilty of theft.
Brian Hogan's attorney pretty much admits, yeah, he stole the prototype iPhone:
Brian Hogan, a college student who lives in Redwood City, Calif., was at a local bar with friends when another patron handed him the phone, said Jeff Bornstein, an attorney with San Francisco law firm K&L Gates, in an e-mailed statement. "Brian asked others near him if the phone belonged to them," said Bornstein. "When they disclaimed ownership, Brian and his friends left the bar with the phone."
Didn't turn it in to the police, mind you, but "left the bar with the phone." Some PC496(a) for you:
Every person who buys or receives any property that has been stolen or that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft...knowing the property to be so stolen or obtained...or aids in...withholding any property from the owner, knowing the property to be so stolen or obtained, shall be punished by imprisonment in a state prison...
Which means that Gizmodo's Jason Chen is party to the aforementioned theft by receiving "property that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft." I mean, you can't just pop down to the Apple Store and buy prototype iPhones, right? You either sneak your ninja ass into Steve Jobs' secret lair, or you find one. And having found one and NOT tried to return it (constituting theft), go to Gizmodo for some bounty (constituting receiving stolen property).

Properly done, Hogan and Chen would've done the exact same thing EXCEPT make a big announcement:
Hi, Brian Hogan here! I found this iPhone and want to give it back. Someone on Gizmodo must know somebody who can help. Jason Chen gave me a small cash sum for my trouble and good citizenship.

Jason Chen here, and I've taken custody of the phone. We're hoping Apple will swing by and pick up their prototype...which I've mistakenly disassembled and taken pictures of. Give me another hour and a half, and it'll be right as rain. We at Gizmodo apologize for any inconvenience. Meanwhile, check this thing out...
At least make it look good by pretending to want to give it back. By playing the journalism card, Chen puts a quarter in his ass and plays himself: Hogan will either have to be the patsy (Chen denies he knew item was illegally obtained and lets Hogan swing) or savior (Hogan breaks the chain of theft, leading Chen to also go free).

Ultimately, Chen's/Gizmodo's crowing about paying out a $5000 bounty is likely to damn them all.

The FAILest of parking

I'm no Jackie Chan of parking, but with room for about two cars, this should be a piece of cake. Nope, FAIL!

I got 99 problems...

...but 20 bitches ain't one.

Truth be told

Let it be known that while I agree with the intent of Arizona's immigration enforcement law, I disagree with its scope and application. On a related note, I have absolutely zero love for Gavin Newsom and was irked when he spoke out against the AZ law as "unacceptable." Leave it to Fox News' Greg Gutfield to say what I'm thinking:
Mayor Gavin Newsom just announced a ban on official city travel to Arizona, because he claims the state's new immigration law is "unacceptable."

Which leads me to explore what Newsom finds acceptable:

Exhibit A: Turning the world's most beautiful city, San Francisco, into a sprawling toilet with a half-billion dollar deficit.

Being S.F.'s mayor should be a dream job. It's like being King of Gumdrop Village on Rainbow Island. It's packed with great food, tourists, amazing scenery and fun people. But Gavin has left the city oilier than his own pompadour. If one block doesn't smell of excrement, it's because it smells of feces and vice versa. Gavin has taken a jewel of a city and pooped all over it.

Which leads me to:

Exhibit B: Letting panhandlers rule. I'm from the Bay Area, and spent a lot of time wandering S.F.'s streets, either working or drunk. Now, no way.

The last time I was there, my 85-year-old mom was surrounded by the most aggressive panhandlers I've ever seen — walking over others, apparently napping. Instead of worrying about the potential ramifications of a law in another state, Gavin should address the heaps of humanity that litter his own streets.

Exhibit C: Banging your pal's wife. It's true, Newson slept with the wife of his close friend and campaign manager, who then resigned. Maybe there aren't enough women in S.F., but you're the mayor and you've got hair. Either you're too lazy or you lack character — probably both.

Bottom line, Gavin: Before you crap all over Arizona, clean up the crap in your own yard.
Allow me to add Exhibit D: his inability to please Kimberly Guilfoyle. Seriously, how do you say no to the world's second hottest lawyer after Rebecca Witchard?

Giving new meaning to "sleepin' on them cheeks"

Instead of trying to sell swimwear like they are here, they need to sell replica pillows in the form factor of Kim's booty. They'd make a killing.

Breakfast Granola for 4/29/10

Here's an interesting gadget from Uncrate:
It's about time someone designed a true multi-tool that didn't look like a Swiss Army knife. The Byrd Harp Multi Tool ($35) instead borrows its design from the stringed musical instrument, with functional slotted- and Phillips-head screwdrivers, a punch/awl, a gimlet, a mini-saw, a corkscrew, a file, and a small/large head hammer that doubles as a bottle opener, all of which rotate out individually from an outer ring and fold flat for insertion into an included leather carrying case. Because you never know when you'll need to do some carpentry while sipping on some Opus One.

The Eighth Decree of Simmslam

That which is mine is mine. That which is yours is yours AND mine.

This includes women. Do not question.

In related news...

...Iranian clerics aren't the smartest.
[Prominent Iranian cleric Kazem Sedighi] was quoted in the Chicago Tribune saying, “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes.”
*I* want to be that James Bond supervillain who harnesses sufficient mammary energy to cause the dreaded "Boobquake."

Found via the googlenews on Mashable.

A Paean to Breasts

A paean is a term used to describe a type of grateful song or tribute. What am I grateful for/want to pay tribute to? You may have detected a favored ore or two...
Bigger is not always necessarily better
But it's good to have plenty to fill out a sweater
There is a limit, such a thing as too large
They're definitely too much when they fill up a barge
How much is too much is up for debate
Decolletage has demands, a cleavage mandate
At no times, please, should this subject be criminal
The effect of the boobage is more than subliminal
Hypnosis is a risk I'm willing to take
Whether they're firm or swingy or real or fake
From proud like eagles to shy like doves
Appreciate with your eyes and maybe two baseball gloves
Business really picks up when temperatures get cold
Do I really need to say it, or do you need to be told?
Because hard nipples, plus big titties, cannot be denied
Take a taste test, you won't know 'til you've tried
So, let's hear it, three cheers to the female breast!
Full of awesome and win, they're simply the best!
