Omar has achieved victory. Global domination will commence shortly.

I took this BBC psych test (via tavis) where you’re supposed to identify whether smiles are genuine or not. I concur with his hypothesis that british people are ugly. I ended up scoring a 19/20, whoo.

I was playing around with photoshop this afternoon and made this graphic (small), it’s nice and colourful. It’s basically just laying a bunch of gradients on top of each with some layer effects.

Read this interview with Bush. He doesn’t come across that well. I guess that’s what happens when you have to speak off the cuff. Some excerpts:

President Bush: I’m a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind.  Again, I wish it wasn’t true, but it is true. And the American people need to know they got a president who sees the world the way it is. And I see dangers that exist, and it’s important for us to deal with them.

Every president except Jimmy Carter has been involved in a war of some sort. That makes all but one president a war president.

President Bush: Now, I know I’m getting repetitive, but I’m just trying to make sure you understand the context in which I was making decisions.

Repeating yourself?

Russert: [about Kerry] Did you know him at Yale?
President Bush: No.
Russert: How do you respond to that?
President Bush: Politics.  I mean, this is—you know, if you close your eyes and listen carefully to what you just said, it sounds like the year 2000 all over again.
Russert: You were both in Skull and Bones, the secret society.
President Bush: It’s so secret we can’t talk about it.

Ahhhh yes, the secret society that’s so secret that no one can talk about it. And the “If you close your eyes and listen carefully to what you just said.”

Update: An article about the speech that’s worth reading as well.

I’m giving serverside spam filtering a shot right now instead of the Apple Mail junk filters (which do a relatively good job). We’ll see how it goes, it shouldnt be bouncing anything, but if it gets filtered poorly i might not see it for a couple of days. So far, it’s not doing a great job, it let three spams in right away. I’ll give it a chance though. Now to deal with the referer log spam that I’m getting.
