Well-said
From Karl Rehn:
Self-defense training is about risk reduction. Those making choices based on Y chromosome-induced testosterone poisoning, rather than logic, reason, and data analysis, deserve whatever problems their stupidity leads them into.

Quote for the day
Everything you ‘know’ about guns you learned from Hollywood, which is in the business of making shit up!

Mayor Leffingwell – known by the company you keep?
[Austin's] Mayor Lee Leffingwell was one of the first in the state to join the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition.
They say you are known by the company you keep.
Mayor Leffingwell, what’s a reasonable person to think about you?
Music you don’t want to hear at the gym
Music you don’t want to hear at the gym: .38 Special’s “Hold on Loosely”
Yesterday when I arrived at the gym, the radio was on the local rock station — someone left it off from last night. No way to turn it off, so I deadlifted with it playing.
This song came on prior to my heavy sets.
When you’re deadlifting, the last thing you want to hear is a cue of “hold on loosely”. 
A developer’s life – in pictures
A friend passed along a website collecting a series of animated GIF’s that chronicle the life of a developer.
Apparently the GIF’s originally came from TheCodingLove and les_joies_du_code()
It’s like my life… in animated GIF format.
Awesome
Little girl hears Bad Brains for the first time.
I guess Bad Brains will be going on tour this summer with The Wiggles, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Laurie Berkner.
I love the “turn it up a little bit” comment she makes at the end. Rawk! It’s something I love about (small/young) kids: they have no pretension, no preconceived notions, no hang-ups, and are just honest about life and love.
WordPress fail
I downloaded the WordPress iOS app update.
Installed. Oh hey, this “Notifications” thing is new. Let’s go see.
Crash.
*sigh*
Relaunch the app.
Oh cool. They have some mechanism that autodetects the crash and looks like it can send the crash report…. oh the app just crashed again.
HA!
And now it’s caught in an endless crash loop. Launch app, crash detector comes up for a couple seconds, then the app crashes. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Just awesome.
Escorted to the ground
The choice of words is awesome:
A burglary suspect had the opportunity to visit a local hospital after meeting a Marine whose parents’ home he attempted to burglarize Friday.
The opportunity to visit a local hospital… after meeting a Marine. ha ha ha ha.
Apparently the police report was pretty funny too, saying:
Pohle [the Marine] was said to have “escorted Schwanke to the ground.”
Escorted. Ha!
Failure of the victim selection process.
