Prenatal effect hinted for some gay men - Yahoo! News: "Men who have several older brothers have an increased chance of being gay"

Well, I only have one older brother. So does that make me a metrosexual?

This is what I have been saying (read: doing) for years. 3b4y l33t!

So I went and saw Internet legends Hurra Torpedo last Saturday at the Roxy in Hollywood. I wasn't going to go at first - didn't think my girl would be into it. Alas, I didin't want to let Fred down though, so I went.

Good thing I went - it stands out as my favorite live show ever. Better than Metal Skool (at the Viper Room, Roxy, or Key Club). Better than Tool at the American Legion in Hollywood. Better than NIN at the Hollywood Bowl or at the Cal Poly SLO Gymnasium (although this NIN show is still my favorite live music performance).

Check these guys out. Looks like they are done in the US for awhile, but the next time you are in Oslo... :)

New Scripps Study Reveals San Andreas Fault Set for the ‘Big One’

Bad times. Remember, drink from the top bowl of your toilet first.

Some of you (ok, none of you) may remember that I posted back in 2004 about a cheap kludge to get around some Earthlink DNS bullshit. Well, it turns out that it may not be Earthlink's fault so much.

I'm not going to take the time to vet the blame here, but it seems that if you
configure Exchange to use your ISP's DNS servers (and not your internal Microsoft DNS server) the problem goes away.

Start Exchange System Manager, select Servers->(SERVER NAME)->Protocols->SMTP. Open the properties for the Virtual SMTP Server, select the Delivery tab and click on the 'Advanced...' button. Then clicking the 'Configure...' button and add the IP address(es) of your ISP's DNS server(s) here.

Special thanks to Ian Griffiths, as his blog tipped me off to this solution.
