I’ve got on heavy black eye liner and my clothes are practically painted on too. Mix of black and blue and purple, red, and pink. There is always an agitation from the shifty motion of the train cars. The company inside the vessels sometimes heightens my anxiety as overweight young children cry and mothers’ ears are plugged with headphones. I want to be sitting at the very front so nothing is in front of me but the incoming space, but there’s an opened door to where the conductor sits that swings and smacks and blocks the way. Approaching the station, everything goes black and there are strange messages and labels scrawled onto large pieces of dirty dark slabs that makeup the sections of the underground. Small round lights move in and out of view and I always fear I’ll be in a new world once we finally arrive at the stopping point.

But it’s okay. He is there waiting for me. Standing straight with his hands clasped behind his back and his lips pursed in a now characteristic downturn. I don’t know how I react to reaching him, always feeling seasick from the transitions between places. Soon we are fed into the stream that moves below ground again and where everyone seems in a hurry. He looks over the tops of people’s heads. I try not to stare at my feet whilst approaching a device that more often than not demands I swipe again, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe until I am let through.

I want to ignore all the faces, signs, colors, and mechanisms because I am longing for what waits past this part. I chatter, smiling, conscious that there are many people who might hear what I say, knowing that this audience is made of strangers except one. I lean into him. His round fingertips rest on the top of my leg. I watch the blur outside the glass, waiting.

The interior of the building always has an odd smell and the large open space guarded by fireplaces always seems tragically neglected- certainly made for different times. I step up the few stairs and shuffle after him across the smooth tiling. The elevator, small with closed door, gives me the moment to curl up in his arms while we stand erect in the rectangular space. The silver door opens, a short series of others, and I’ve made it to my destination.

Mmmm. It’s been a week or two since I’ve last been with him. And, it’s only been a few months we’ve been doing this. There’s no need to obscure our desires…I make it to his bed. The windows are open but always obstructed by black metal and wires. A patchy skyline feeds us the gray clouded light to display ourselves in. I peel off his cotton shirt, smooth warm skin to press my hands on. My breathing is somewhat stilted at the start- always so much emotion to pilot towards the eventual outcome. I’ve taken the liberty to strip off my shirt and as I press up against him I remove the bra that keeps all our skin from touching. In our matching denim we are quite the pair.

This is an interesting articale that I feel worth spending a few minutes to read:

I’m not an advertiser, but I’ve spent the last 10 years selling to them.

I think my first day selling was the last day of the golden age in B2B media — back when magazine people spent all day bending over to pick up money, and then marveled at how hard they were working.

On my second day the balance tipped; customers by-and-large stopped looking for reasons to advertise, and started looking for reasons not to advertise. This has been documented and discussed. What’s missing from the discussion is why industrial advertisers might actually want the trade media to fail.

Start with the assumption that as much as buying marketing, these advertisers were buying security.They followed a  simple formula, perfect for the engineering mindset that drives these companies. It was this: Advertising with trade media is the only reliable way to reach a targeted audience. So by doing whatever the competition does you will achieve similar results.

Feeling aggressive? Spend a little more and you’ll do a little better. There were few variables, like the strength of your creative, and the novelty of your logo-ed novelties. It was neat and simple and let companies get back to the business of making stuff — which was their true DNA.

Then came the Internet, which replaced measurement by lead-generation with measurement by click-throughs and unique visits. It put a premium on speed and courage; and it created so many variables that there was no longer assurance you could match your competitors’ results by matching their spend.

Suddenly, buying print meant spending a lot of money without getting any security.

That would be enough for marketers to resent the media. But there’s another piece.

The traditional media model is sponsorship: Media creates content, which advertisers sponsor to reach a targeted audience. As friend and former boss Teri Mollison now at F&W Media, likes to say, this is the “We talk, you listen” model of marketing.

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 box.

I got my BlackBerry Curve 8520 and it is time to unpack it. In the box, you will find the usual things, phone+battery+charger+earplugs+USB cable+manual and CD. Upon picking up the BlackBerry 8520, we immediately noticed how light it is (106g or 3.74oz).

BlackBerry Curve 8520 unboxing, first impressions!

Upon booting, you will find the newer user interface introduced with the BlackBerry bold, although running at a lower resolution (320×240). The user interface is OK, but reading text or webpages is definitely not as nice when compared to a Bold, 8900 or more recent BlackBerry phones.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Celcom set.

The trackball present in the 8320 has been replaced with a trackpad. I guess that it is more durable and possible less expensive to integrate. I thought that it was ok, although I still prefer the trackball to navigate the icons but I bet that scrolling a page in the web browser is better with the trackpad.

Media buttons at the top.

One of the novelties is the media buttons at the top (play/pause/mute + forward + reverse).They might come in handy if you are running and want to control the music playback without taking the phone out of its holster.

Celcom’s EDGE connection.

Overall, physically Blackberry Curve 8520 is a one beauty smart phone with slightly cheap built. But it was compensated with awesome Blackberry service. What would you expect from Celcom’s EDGE connection and does it fast enough and sufficient to get you online??

 In a creation myth rivaling that of the most powerful shoguns of ancient Japan, today you were born into the body of a coal black Aprilia RSV4.

 Your dark, naked body shone in the full moonlight that permeated the room and caused our bodies to contrast so virtually we embodied natural duality. My hair lapped across your taut chest – dampening into mahogany cat o’nine tails. Our sweat mixed as we writhed against one another; resting only momentarily in ecstatic postures. As we posed in tantra, our tongues met first, then moist lips slipped top over bottom, bottom over top – exchanging the business of being in charge.

 There seemed to be no limit to the amount of pleasure we could receive from each other. Then suddenly, without warning your chiseled arms wrapped themselves around my perfect, round ass and lifted. I was on top of you in an instant. Supine beneath me, you tensed every muscle as solid and hard as your cock. I felt you grow deeper inside me. Every inhale was a gasp of pleasure. Every exhale was a moan of sweet release.

 Darkness enveloped us as the moon rose too high to illuminate our bed through the tall southern window of the room. There were no doors. The blankets and pillows were yours. Dizzy whimpered in the corner and you reassured her that we would both live through the ordeal. I lost sight of you. I blinked. I looked down where you should have been – where I could still feel you. I saw the shine of your body as I had before and relaxed for a moment. But, how could you shine when there was no moon?

 The warmth of your body between my legs became something all together new and exciting. I felt your body heave as our sweat turned molten and cooled to smooth metal. Electricity passed through us and your atoms split – exposed to oxygen in the brisk, night air that blew in from the open window. We shivered as we both came to orgasm. That would be our last common act as human beings.

 I held on tight with both legs; my creamy thighs straining for a grip. Your chest turned to chassis – a twin-spar adjustable aluminum frame dipped in anthracite – the highest rank of coal – just for looks. Your arms dissolved Christ-like from around my waist into a front suspension of 43-mm stanchions in an upside-down fork. Your elbows became adjustable and spring preloaded with hydraulic compression for rebound damping. Your hands were dual 320-mm diameter floating stainless steel discs with Brembo monobloc radial calipers. I shuddered and reached to cradle your head as I realized what was happening.

 Mixed low and thick, your legs became the twin-sided swing arm now deftly fitted between the bend where my hip and ankle made a perfect triangle. Your knees merged into one Öhlins Racing monoshock with piggyback. Your feet morphed into a 220-mm disc brake with a Brembo floating caliper and two 32-mm isolated pistons. Instead of boots, you wore completely machined Aprilia forged aluminum alloy five-split spokes.

 A breeze picked up in the room and swept my hair around my shoulders to barely cover the tips of my rock hard nipples. I was excited and scared. I still held your held in my hands. You looked up at me with a stare so confident; my fear vanished and was replaced again by desire. It appeared as though you were glowing through a third eye!

 As the transformation was near complete, I knew that this ethereal glow would soon be the center of the tri-jeweled crown of guiding light on our impending journey. I pinched the your fleshy lobes one last time before they turned to grips; found a comfortable two-fingered position around the brakes and managed a giggle as I imagined tickling you behind both ears.

 By this time, your internal organs were in a severe state of flux but the metamorphosis from man to machine was made somewhat more acceptable to me knowing that you already had a four-chambered heart. Not exactly a 65-degree V-four built for superior agility and rear-wheel traction; but a ventricle system none the less. The expansive network of veins that once moved blood beneath your flesh morphed into a fly-by-wire throttle system with double overhead camshafts. Your atria now variable-length intake ducts, and a total of eight fuel injectors. Your blood as pure and powerful a fuel as the god Inari could bestow upon a pious farmer.

 Your lungs of course, were reconfigured 4 into 2 into 1 with a single oxygen sensor. And the rest of your respiratory system was now simply one lateral silencer with an engine unit-controlled butterfly valve and integrated trivalent catalytic converter. You now weighed 395 pounds – dry.

 Now that the conversion was complete, I reveled in the pure joy that was the melding of your soul to the bike beneath me. Although some would say you became mon objet d’amour, you were in every sense still utterly in control. All I could do was hold on. It was different all alone on the front. The wind lashed out, seeking penance for my sins. It didn’t ask my permission and there was no safety word to stop it. As the RSV4, you sensed my boundaries and slowed into a turn to deflect the pressure. On the downshift, your newfound voice sent a tingle from my toes to my tits with a deep, penetrating rumble gnash before hitting the perfect note in the space between my hips where my clit rubbed against the hard leather inseam of my new riding gear. I hoped it never softened.

 Your mouth seemed to swallow whole parts of the road in lurching gulps as we lunged forward into the abyss that was 177bhp and 85lb ft. of torque. It was all I could do to bow my head and kiss the tank where I once felt your heart beat too fast to be human. You reared up like a wild stallion at that moment and I knew no one would ever tame you. This only served to make me more excited. I easily compared my exaltation to the day all emperors descended from the sun goddess who formed the islands of Japan in her womb and birthed them from a cloud. You were man, machine and manga legend all rolled into one.

Beauty goes the old saying, “is in the eye of the beholder.” But does the beholder have to be human?

Not necessarily, say scientists at Tel Aviv University. Amit Kagian, an M.Sc. graduate from the TAU School of Computer Sciences, has successfully “taught” a computer how to interpret attractiveness in women. Kagian published the findings in the scientific journal Vision Research. Co-authors on the work were Kagian’s supervisors Prof. Eytan Ruppin and Prof. Gideon Dror. The study combined the worlds of computer programming and psychology, an example of the multidisciplinary research for which TAU is world-renowned.

But there’s a more serious dimension to this issue that reaches beyond mere vanity. The discovery is a step towards developing artificial intelligence in computers. Other applications for the software could be in plastic and reconstructive surgery and computer visualization programs such as face recognition technologies.

From Mathematics to Aesthetics

“Until now, computers have been taught how to identify basic facial characteristics, such as the difference between a woman and a man, and even to detect facial expressions,” says Kagian. “But our software lets a computer make an aesthetic judgment. Linked to sentiments and abstract thought processes, humans can make a judgment, but they usually don’t understand how they arrived at their conclusions.”

In the first step of the study, 30 men and women were presented with 100 different faces of Caucasian women, roughly of the same age, and were asked to judge the beauty of each face. The subjects rated the images on a scale of 1 through 7 and did not explain why they chose certain scores. Kagian and his colleagues then went to the computer and processed and mapped the geometric shape of facial features mathematically.

Additional features such as face symmetry, smoothness of the skin and hair color were fed into the analysis as well. Based on human preferences, the machine “learned” the relation between facial features and attractiveness scores and was then put to the test on a fresh set of faces.

Says Kagian, “The computer produced impressive results – its rankings were very similar to the rankings people gave.” This is considered a remarkable achievement, believes Kagian, because it’s as though the computer “learned” implicitly how to interpret beauty through processing previous data it had received.

Beauty is Golden

The notion that beauty can be boiled down to binary data and interpreted by a mathematical model is nothing new. More than 2,000 years ago the Greek mystic, philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras observed the connection between math, geometry and beauty. He reasoned that features of physical objects corresponding to the “golden ratio” were considered most attractive.

“I know that Plato connected the good to the beautiful,” says Kagian. “Personally, I believe that some kind of universal correctness to beauty exists in nature, an aesthetic interpretation of the universal truth. But because each of us is trapped with our own human biases and personalized viewpoints, this may detract us from finding the ultimate formula to a complete understanding of beauty.”

Kagian, who studied under the Adi Lautman multidisciplinary program for outstanding students at Tel Aviv University, says that a possible next step is to teach computers how to recognize “beauty” in men. This may be more difficult. Psychological research has shown that there is less agreement as to what defines “male beauty” among human subjects. And his own portrait, jokes Kagian, will not be part of the experiment.

“I would probably blow up the machine,” he says.

Here are some questions that I have been pondering and I hope that you will join me in pondering as well. Do comment or email me your own thoughts/questions/answers.

1. Why does our culture emphasize cleanliness? Why do we shower daily? Have you noticed that Western culture is the only one that puts such emphasis on cleanliness? I mean sure, it helps prevent diseases and what not, but do we have to do it daily? Or is that a socially acceptable thing? Why we do we perceive so many things as “gross”? Is it because we are too comfortable?

2. Why does everything cost money? Why is everything a product? People even make money off of war nowadays! Why do you have to literally pay for everything? Would it be better if everything were free, or would that cause chaos?

3. People say that those with money get the good education, and that education gives them power, and that power gives them position. We know the politicians are the elite, but why are the pastors in our churches elite? Why is it so unlikely for someone without AT LEAST a bachelor’s in Bible to become an official pastor (much less ordained!)? Would it be better to have a poor man with no education, but who has lived out the Scripture through his hard life like the disciples, be a pastor? The disciples chose men with strong faith, good reputation, who were filled with the Spirit and with wisdom to be deacons. Do we have the same criteria in the Church, or is it based more on the education you have?

4. Why is it that, in my experience, I have met many brothers and sisters who not only disagree with pacifism among Christians, but who oppose it? Why is there such an opposition to trying to live out peace? If God’s redemptive plan is to restore all of creation, would He rather do that through war or through faithful deeds?

5. Why are people afraid of Christians?

6. Why do I so badly want to be radical but am afraid to be so?

7. Why is a church service always 1) Sing songs. 2) Somebody preaches. 3) Sing a song or two. 4) Leave. Who invented that pattern and why do we follow it in every single church congregation that I’ve ever seen or been to? What would it look like to be creative and do something different?

8. Why do people stand still on escalators when they were invented so that people could walk up and down stairs faster?

9. Why does everyone like the idea of God, but few want to actually get to know Him?

10. How come Matthew 5:39 is hardly ever preached on? And why do we Christians emphasize some verses but not others?

11. What did language sound like before the Tower of Babel?

12. What does nothing look like? What do new colors look like? What do UV rays look like?

13. Why was Freud so obsessed with sex?

14. There are earlier and more copies of the New Testament than anything written by Caesar, Plato, and Aristotle. Why do people question the validity of the New Testament but not the writings of those people?

15. Why, throughout human history, have we spent so much time, money, technology, and resources on tools of war, but the idea of tools for peace seems so foreign to our minds?

16. Why does the media always talk about the bad stuff that’s happening in the world but they hardly ever talk about the good stuff? Isn’t good stuff interesting too?
