More Sick Crimes Hit Central Oregon

Not only do we have a sheriff’s deputy who has been arraigned on 143 sex abuse and drug charges, but now we have another sheriff’s employee who’s been arrested on 11 counts of sex abuse and giving drugs to a minor.

And we have this weirdo who was arrested facing seven counts of public indecency after he was trying to entice some youngsters into his car — and he was doing it about two blocks from my house.

Lovely.

Speaking of jerks, I was harassed on my nightly walk last night by a group of punk high school kids. If it were just one of them, I wouldn’t have been worried, but there were about five or six of them talking bad at me. I just ignored them, but it still spooked me as I seriously doubt my ability to defend myself right now because of my back surgery (back in the day, I would’ve been fine). Anybody have a Taser I can borrow?

LiveJournal Users Hate Life

21% of all the people on the ‘net who hate their live use LiveJournal.

So Dane, we better not egg ‘em, as they have nothing to live for and will probably make a suicidal attempt to kill us.

Dick Van Dyke, CG Animator

I have a newfound respect (though I’ve always liked the guy) for Dick Van Dyke (yes, that Dick Van Dyke). He’s actually really heavily into computer animation, and has been for quite a while. Link via several places.

Gender: Not Specified, Male or “Bitch”

A Spanish language version of Windows XP, destined for Latin American markets, gave users an option to select their gender from not specified, male or “bitch”, due to an unfortunate error in translation. This is just one of several Microsoft race relation slip ups. Thanks Barney for the tip.

What Are Your Credit Cards Hiding?

I actually have a card reader that we used here at work, and I plan on downloading this software to see what the magnetic stripes on my credit cards and licenses are hiding. I’ll keep you posted with the results, once I get the software all installed. Link via Waxy.
