at least it’s not Satan

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Love advice from the 56K era

We do not intend for this report to be an abbreviated sex manual. Its purpose is to introduce you to some basic principles and philosophies of the sexual fulfillment of single women, and to encourage you to learn as much as you can about a single woman’s sexual needs, wants, and desires.

Wow. One more thing that reminds me of Internet ‘98. How to Make Love To A Single Woman. . . which is, now that I think about it, advice I’ll have absolutely no use for here in a couple weeks.

Tamarindo, Costa Rica (Guanacaste) : weather


an old-school whiner

“Although I am familiar with printer hardware and networking protocols, installation on my LaserJet 6MP and PC running Windows XP Pro was difficult. Firstly, the print server did not fit into the available space in the comparment housing the Centronics port, so I had to leave the right rear cover off in order to close the side cover (which protects the circuit boards and memory). Secondly, the Quick Install Guide and Users Manual were out-of-date and useless as regards software installation. After an hour on the phone with a supervisor at Technical Support I finally got the device working properly. That said, it works extremely well on both my hard-wired and wireless networks.”

This sounds like something I would have composed in PINE and sent to a listserv about a 9600b modem, or posted to comp.dcom.modems from ‘tin’. I think it’s supposed to be a “review” of a very hip USB webcam though.
