What happens to people who can’t cut the mutant mustard at the school where the X-Men train? McSweeney’s tells all in their article, Rejection Letters from Xavier’s School of Exceptional Youth.

Zen Dog
It’s a busy day here in the Research and Innovation department at Tucows,
so here’s a series of terribly cute dog photos (not mine; I just found
them) to tide you over until the “real” entry for the day gets written:

We’ve been working on some pretty ambitious plans here at work, so posting on my work blogs, The Farm and IndieGameDev
has been rather light as of late. However, that’s not the case anymore
— give them a look if you’ve been waiting for new articles!

It’s Going to be a Feast!
My parents are looking over the brunch menu for the wedding. Believe you me, the choices are exquisite!
There’s more of this at Engrish.com.
This reminds me of a joke a waiter here in Chinatown told me:
Q: How do we know that Adam and Eve weren’t Chinese?
A: They ate the apple and not the snake.

Happy Birthday, Deenster!
Deenster turns thirty-two today. She’s doing a little reflecting, saying that “every passage of time reflected on involves re-imagining the person you want to be.”
I think I can help in that department. You see, Gentle Reader, Deenster has long had a fear of Mr. David Hasselhoff, star of Knight Rider and Baywatch and rock idol in Germany (I don’t understand it either; perhaps it’s sort of like that thing the French have for Jerry Lewis).
Deenster, how can you fear this man? Without him, we wouldn’t have “Legolas” from the Lord of the Rings movies! We’d still have communism! You shouldn’t fear this man; you should welcome him into your heart.
Deenster, Gary, K.I.T.T. and David. This has “sitcom” written all over it.
So, for your birthday, I present to you a cure for your fear. Confront that demon, Deenster: click this link [may not be safe for work — Speedo zoom-in action] and face the Inifinite Hasselhoff Recursion until he scares you no more.
Happy Birthday, Deenster!

Blogroll Check
As a firm believer in quid pro quo, I do check from time to time to make sure that you’re on my blogroll if
I’m on yours. If this isn’t the case, let me know, either in the
comments or by emailing me.

Vote for Me!
The voting for the 2005 Bloggies closes tonight at 10 p.m.. If you appreciate this blog, please voite for it for “Best Canadian Blog!”
I know Dave Winer disapproves of all the Bloggie-related self-promotion, saying that it lacks dignity. I respond in the street argot of his native Brooklyn: “Dignity, schmignity!” It’s an election, and you’ve got to campaign to win.
