They preach freedom, personal responsibility, self-reliance and getting “gub’mint” out of your lives, but when the rubber hits the road, they quickly switch to WHERES MAH JERB, YOU KENYAN MUSLIM LIAR?!
The Helpful Habits of the Tech Elite infographic lists a number of well-known and not-so-well-known techies and what they do to stay inspired. Most of them make some sort of sense — brainstorming with a whiteboard, listening to music, having a daily routine, measuring one’s life in order to better manage it, and so on.
The stand-out in this list is Yoshiro Nakamatsu, a.k.a. “Dr. NakaMats”, who has over 3000 patents in his name and whose claimed inventions run the gamut from the floppy disk to a self-defense wig that you can swing at an attacker (how has this not ended up as a prop in a Jackie Chan fight scene yet?). His way to stay inspired? Relaxing in his “calm room”, which is gold-plated to block out radio signals that interfere with creativity. Dude, that’s just a very large, expensive tinfoil hat.

Here’s a theme that the Future Missus vetoed on upon seeing it: the hunting camo-themed wedding, complete with the catchphrase “The hunt is OVER!”. I’m rather fond of the deer-head toothpicks and the beer cozy: the last thing I want at my wedding is goopy barbecue sauce-covered fingers (okay, maybe for the wedding night) and a warm Miller High Life.
If this sort of thing is your speed, point your browser to Oriental Trading and get them to send you a catalog, or search their site for “camo”.
If you’re paying at the gas pump in Tampa, be aware that advanced credit/debit card skimmers have been found on pumps at the following Shell/Circle K stations in South Tampa:
Unlike the skimmers that we’re often told to look out for — the type that are attached on top of an ATM’s or gas pump’s credit/debit card slot — these ones were installed internally, which eliminated most of the tell-tale signs of physical tampering and alteration. Whoever installed these skimmers used a master key to access the pumps’ internals and connect them directly to the pump’s computer. There’d be none of the usual warning signs, such as a dangling wire or damage around the slot where you’d insert your card. The one sign is a broken seal on the pump (see the photo at the top of this article for a photo of an intact seal).
Here’s the story on Tampa Bay Online.

Thanks to Sean Galbraith for the heads-up!
Im most places, “do not molest the alligators” is a self-evident thing, but this is Florida. I’m pretty sure that alligator molesters are a rare breed, as it’s a self-correcting problem.
