Update, 12:59 p.m. EST: Okay, kode-fu.com resolves properly on my home system, where I’m using Rogers Cable, but at not at work, where we have Sympatico Business DSL. Stupid Internet! Be more updated!
Once again, my domain name, kode-fu.com, points to this site! No more typing in “www2.cyberpixels.com/~kode” for this boy!
My favourtie lad mag, Maxim, has a cute little online test that challenges the boys out there to identify five strange for-girls-only gadgets. I scored five out of five. That means I’m a sensitive guy, but the fact that I read Maxim means I ain’t no wussy New Ager neither.
How’d you do?
Slut School’s latest DJ event, Big Booty Hoes and Sluts Too, takes place tonight at the I-V lounge. Details are here. I’ll be there because I’m that kind of guy.

Hey there Big boss, just a few corrections for your amazing recent updates:
When asked where Eva and their crew were going that night, Eva said “Just out to a club,” to which her mother replied “Looks like you’re going to Slut School to me!”
And thus Slut School got its name.
Slut School’s Founding members are actually friends of mine from Toronto. We didin’t go to high school together. Dorian and I did but I was introduced to the girls by an ex-girlfriend. The Deans of Slut School are Cathy “Madcrazy” Marchese, Eva “Purple” Haze and Crystal “the nice one, you know, with the boobs” Bevinspotto.
So is that Crystal in the poster? Inquiring accordion-playing minds want to know!
Graduates include Lisa, Cheralynn, Marta, Jazzna, Dorian, myself and Darcy. That is not the complete list but you get the gist, eh?
By the bye, loved the photos of Slut School. Quite nice.
Glad you liked ’em, Will, and I hope that all you readers out there in InterWebLand liked ’em too.
And they tried to tell me that computer programmers never meet girls. Liars!
Legends of Ska, a showcase of old-school Ska artists from the early days of the musical movement, will take place this weekend at the Palais Royale ballroom (on Lakeshore Drive near where South Kingsway ends — here’s a map). Old school acts such as Derrick Morgan, Justin Hinds, Skatalites singer Doreen Shaffer and Prince Buster (one of whose songs was the inspiration for the name of the second-gen ska group Madness) will be there. These guys are the original skanksters who created ska back in the ’60’s, and it should be both a musical education for the young ‘uns who only know the Planet Smashers, Save Ferris and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and fun for anyone who likes ska’s syncopated rhythms.
The shows will take place on Friday and Saturday. The ticket price is a bit steep — $35 in adverce per night!. Paul and I are going to catch the Saturday show with Doreen Shaffer and the legendary Prince Buster.

Rannie, (another cool Toronto Filipino blogger) and Jay have been together for two years. They met over the ‘Net (which you’d think would be a portent of doom), but they’re really well-matched.
Happy anniversary to a handsome couple!
Tonight, Special Beat Services (Electro Polaroid) will be doing both the video and music selections at the Global Pop Conspiracy social. They describe their act as “Past visions of the future, with today’s sounds for tomorrow.”
As always, the socials take place at the Rotors Club, which is at 593a Bloor Street West, just west of Bathurst. It’s a licensed establishment, so you’ve got to be 19 or an even older fart like myself.
By the way, Global Pop Conspiracy also have a two clever mini-blogs on their main page called Intelligence and Counterintelligence. Great links and stories abound!
