Believe it or not, this is a video game in Japan. The objective, if it isn’t apparent, is to poke the woman in the ass with your finger. (Yes, the controller the man is holding is a finger. Yes, the black thing on the game console is supposed to resemble a woman, bent over. Yes, you actually poke the ass with the finger.) Her facial expressions change based on how well you poke her. The better the facial expression, the more points you earn.

Speaking of colons, if you want to make yours minty fresh, then prehaps you need some ASStringent. [via boingboing]

For ages people have been asking the question “Hey! What crawled up your ass?” Well. Now we know.

I always thought my life was pretty complete. But now I know that it never will be until I have a 40 ft long, 4 ft high colon modeled after my own.

My RSS Aggregator, GoFoR (thanks to Rockbugg for the name), is nearing completion. You can see it in action if you’d like. There is still lots of debugging information there and the admin interface hasn’t even been started so changing subscriptions requires editing files by hand, but it’s getting there. If you notice any problems, see anything that is horribly wrong, or if you just like what you see, please let me know.

The Well-Formed Web is Joe‘s new project. He begins by describing the weblogging software this project uses. Its interface is entirely RESTian and its backend is purely XML. While advocators of the REST way can be a bit loud at times, I whole-heartedly agree with using what we’ve got as long as it works okay. And HTTP certainly is capable of a lot more than we currently use it for. However forcing it to do things that are better done in other ways is just silly.

I’ve seen this a few times now, and keep forgetting to mention it here. If you still insist that IE is better than Mozilla then perhaps you should read 101 things that the Mozilla browser can do that IE cannot. And remember, installing Mozilla doesn’t remove IE, or break your PC. You can install it, play with it for 30 seconds, and then never touch it again until the web developers of the world start embracing open standards and quit making work-arounds for IE rendering bugs.

If you have yet to hear of Xandros you should certainly check out this revview entitled: Xandros – Linux For The Masses.
