Mac OS on the MacBook Pro is the first OS since BeOS in the ‘90s that has made me grin when it’s done something totally unexpected but awesome.

Windows is such gutter crud in so many ways compared to it.

But point: god, why are you reading this crap? Scroll down to watch the nice lady sing some songs.

Nonono – Pumpin’ Blood. Quite good live. I like her arm bangle thingy and tennis shoes with that dress. And the guys’ all-black get-ups.

Acoustic version. She doesn’t have a perfect voice, but has an imperfectly wonderful voice.

I think most if not all of the concern with so-called age-inappropriate relationships among legal adults is worry about and desire to eliminate competition of potential partners than it is any other factor. Of course, most of this is subconscious but that makes it all the more powerful.

I’ve gotten it both ways – having dated women who were both “too old” and “too young” for me in other people’s eyes. Of course since people are so varied the older woman I dated was much more compliant in personality and would’ve been easier to “control” if I’d been a complete asshole than anyone else I’ve ever dated.

Defining legal adults and their behaviors by their ages infantilizes them, and women especially since it seems most often to be applied to them.

Yes, when there are power differentials it can be tricky and care should be had. But there are always, always power differentials in life. Ain’t never gonna change, that.

That’s why I think the massive concern about partners being 10 or 20 years apart is more about policing partners to avoid competition than anything.

I just realized the Quinn Norton that I read over here is Aaron Swartz’s ex-girlfriend.

Wow, the tech and hacker world is a small one still.
