Note what the two women in the photo below brought as beach reading material:
If this is Photoshoppery, the artist has done a very good job on not one, but three photos. This one is the safe-for-work pic (here’s the Flickr page on which it appears). There are two topless, not-safe-for-work ones here and here.
Perhaps it’s fake, but for the sake of computer science in general, I want to believe!

Have you got skills? If so, we’d like to talk to you.
If you’re just out of University and are looking for a hi-tech job, may I suggest Tucows? It’s a great place to work (I’ll have been here three years in July) and we’re looking for a few good people.
We’re looking for some Junior Application Developers. You’ll need to know Java and Perl and should probably be familiar with PHP. Our back end is based on Unix/Linux and Oracle, so you’ll have to be confortable with working in a Unix-y environment and SQL. You’ll be both developing new code following a design spec as well as maintaining and enhancing existing code, and you should know how to perform unit tests and work with CVS.
We’re looking for all sorts of people with other skills, too. If you’re looking for work at a company that’s great to work for, going through some very interesting changes and is thought to be one of the “good guys” in the tech world, come take a peek at our jobs page!
Pictured above is a prototype of Yamaha’s advanced safety scooter, the ASV-3, at the Automotive Engineering Exposition in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo. One of the safety features is a multi-chambered air bag which opens from under the seat. I suppose that your seating position on the bike is of paramount importance; if you’re a little too close to the airbag when it deploys…ouch.
YouTube got told to yank the video of the Saturday Night Live skit on MySpace that I linked to earlier, but I’ve found another site with the video. Even better: it’s on a MySpace site!

Go watch it, if only for Horatio Sanz’ perfect “creepy lisping guy” character.
Welcome to June! What better way to celebrate the month during which summer begins than with Mr. Summer himself, David Hasselhoff?
