Oi To The World!
First of all here's a video I always play around this time which sorta encapsulates what I feel right now, especially the 'stop hating' part. Lyrics here.
I like New Year more than Christmas, mostly because it makes more sense to acknowledge the passing of 12 months to usher in another dozen than to celebrate a dubious religious festival whose true meaning we struggle to understand and yet has become the systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods far and beyond what we need. But hey that's just me.

Normally, I Despise Beauty Contests
I mean, really, it's a 'pagandahan ng babae' contest, right? As shallow as it gets. It's a sporting event with stats and everything, except they wouldn't admit that if it killed them. And don't talk to me about charity and all that. Donald Trump could just as easily do all those things sans fanfare.
I honestly hoped I would see the day exercises in superficiality and sexism like these would disappear within my lifetime. Until I saw this:

Report Confirms That As Far As Men Are Concerned, The Internet Is For Porn
Ok fine I made that title up.
What brought it up though is a global report that can well fit into the 'what we already know' department, entitled 'Women Spend 30% More Time On Social Web Than Men'.
Amongst it's findings:
- 76& of women visit social networking sites vs. 70% of men.
- Although women account for 48% of total unique visitors to social networking sites, they consume 57% of pages and account for nearly 57% of total minutes spent on these sites.
- No matter what region, women are more social than men on the web, especially in Latin America with 94% of females online.
- In the US, 56% of adult women use the 'net to keep in touch with people compared to 46% men.

Java vs. MS Lives and Breathes
And here I was thinking the Java / MS wars were over, and we had therefore lost an interesting rivalry. Until I saw this.
It gets NSFW at around 2:45, so careful!

Open Source An Activity Motivated By Those Who 'Want To Contribute To The World'
This video interested me because it talked about open source vis a vis what motivates us slash money and the seeming lack of interconnection between the two. It then introduced me to open source stalwarts Celeste Lyn Paul and Apache James proponent Serge Knystautas who were interviewed for this as well.
It's a 9:21 long video so if you're impatient jump over to the 6:40 part where it's relevant to what I just said.
