femminista: thoughts of a feminist rhetorician

Courtesy of Slashdot, I ran across a humorous (if nerdy) article, "The Thirteen Greatest Error Messages of All Time" on Technologizer.

First of all, I just want to say that I'm sick of learning things. To clarify: I still love to learn about and how to do new things; I am, however, tired of learning new "life lessons." In fact, I'd like to be left alone in a room with "life lessons" for a couple of hours and let said entity get a piece of my mind. Of course now that I think about it, it already has a piece of my mind, so I don't intend to give it any more. Damn, damn! And now I'm ranting and haven't even gotten to the point of this rant.

When I received this week's Time magazine, I thought that the photo of Reagan looked a bit off, but since I find republicans generally uninteresting, I didn't look closer. Anyway, I just saw this blog entry pointing out the interesting credits for the photo. The first credit acknowledges the photographer who took Reagan's photo and the second acknowledges the creator of the tear on his cheek!
