@ Molly (#19):

Being almost computer illiterate I don’t know how to do the Digg, etc. thing. Any instructions? After all, I am from the Pony Express era.

To join Digg, simply click on the “Digg” button above, which will direct you to the registration page; then choose a username, and a password; enter a valid e-mail address; enter your date of birth (don’t worry, you have the option not to have your age displayed ); finally, enter the “CAPTCHA” code and then click on button below the “I agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy” to submit.

That’s it! After registration, you can then customize your profile to your requirements.

I don’t even a crackberry, just a regular cell phone.

I don’t have a mobile phone at all either. (Durnnit, gopher65 beat me to it.) Just a landline and a modem.

How do you do the Digg thing again? How does that work?

Finally on men with pink colour I’ll just note a number of Aussie cricketers (decidedly straight ones too) eg,. former opening batsman Matty Hayden & retired wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist have adopted pink cricket bat handles and wicketkeeping gloves as a breast cancer fund raiser.

Generally, I think the pink colour is getting less sex-stereotypical over time. That said, I wouldn’t be seen dead (or alive for that matter) wearing pink – unless there was a very good reason indeed to do so.
Apart from anything else the colour just doesn’t suit me. (I think anyhow.)

I don’t get it. What’s so embarrassing about having an iphone colored the breast-cancer-awareness color?

I’m just glad the blog site is faster. Maybe now I can read the other Discover blogs without frustration.(I’m not very patient). Being almost computer illiterate I don’t know how to do the Digg, etc. thing. Any instructions? After all, I am from the Pony Express era.

Personally, I just think it’s sweet that I can read now both BA and Pharyngula on the train into work and home

Let’s be fair. You don’t tweet about your tattoo, you TEASE about it. And no I’m not coining the word “twease.”

I have a purple phone that everybody makes fun of. I don’t get it. Why should women get complete access to the color spectrum but we males are only supposed to use certain portions of it? That’s sexism. I like my purple phone, dammit, and no that doesn’t make me gay. Sexual orientation ≠ the frequency of light reflected by one’s cell phone.

The pink iPhone is pretty funny. I use Google Reader to subscribe to your blog and the others I read and a feed reader app on my Palm Pre so that I don’t go through withdrawal when I’m away from my computer. Cuz that wouldn’t be fun. But I don’t Twitter (or tweet…) so I won’t be following you there.

IVAN3MAN, they do not need cell phones to track you down. The new H1N1 vaccine has rfid chips in it and the government made the H1N1 so people would need to get “vaccinated”. Also the vaccine has a chemical to make everyone have autism.

I have a motorcycle that I’ve been riding since 1990. I have done all my own maintenance and repair on the old girl over the years. Early on, it seemed that every time I worked on her, I’d rap my knuckles or nick myself on a sharp bit, evoking single syllable words, until finally I understood. The day of epiphany I named her “Audrey”, because it became obvious that she wouldn’t run right until she got her drop of blood.

Larian LeQuella:

Oh, the crackberry was a “gift” from my employer. I think this way they can reach out to me anytime…

Maybe they just want to keep a track on you?

I also have just a basic mobile (cell) phone, and I hardly use the bloody thing. Why is it that ~~some~~ most people seem to have an urge to use their friggin’ mobile phone in public? Who the hell are they calling… their stockbroker(!)?

Davidlpf, I think the ones I put there were too obvious. May I piggyback on your feeds?

Okay, now I’m starting to feel silly. Well, at least I don’t have a pink iPhone… Wait, I don’t even have an iPhone, just this lousy crackberry…

@Larian, I have a bunch of web cams placed throughout the BA’s house and the images are sent through his wi-fi router. It was pretty easy since he is not home much.

Why in the Universe do you have a pink iPhone??? I think it is about to become nationally ridiculed!

I’d follow you more if that restraining order didn’t forbid it…
