all hands to the poop deck

On Tuesday morning, i got my ass out of bed at 05:45 so i could attend our lovely corporate all-hands.  I managed to lower my expectations to a degree where i actually managed to enjoy the meeting (then again, i've found our all-hands to be rather unpainful, in general).  It boiled down in two phases: our CEO yammered about the news, then their CEO and COO yammered about the news; then the usual suspects (the execs) came out and talked about how well we're doing and how much our upcoming stuff rocks (tritone starred in one of the thrown-together-at-the-last-minute movies about the S00PAR SEKRIT project his team is working on), which naturally made the rest of us wonder, "Why are we putting ourselves over a barrel for Adobe if things are going so well?"

At least we got to see one of the SVPs being given a badly butchered mohawk on stage.

"also available in a 'brown' model"

dpk_wp hates me.

What if the fetus you were going to abort would grow up to be a soldier bringing democracy to a godless dictatorship?

Speaking of bringing democracy to dictatorships, the president of Ecuador was ousted by Congress due to "dereliction of duty".  Then a warrant for his arrest was issued because of the reprisals he ordered against the protesters.  Naturally, he claimed that "his removal from office by Congress violated the constitution" (ain't that always the fuckin' story with these scumbags), as opposed to his dismissal of the Supreme Court in December and subsequent stacking of crony judges, which was A-OK and on the level, sparky!  In the meantime, we have the OAS and Condi Rice blabbering about making sure that things return to stability... yeah, thanks for nothing, bitches.
