David Karp to be Sued by Yahoo! CEO for Making Fun of Geocities

shaneblog:

This morning, David Filo, CEO of Yahoo!, announced the company was to take David Karp, founder of Tumblr to court for his outrage at the failed Geocities project. According to Filo, Geocities was going to “attempt to relaunch” later that month, and that Karp’s starburst would be enough to destroy the launch. Neither Karp nor Tumblr would comment on this story, but it seems that Yahoo! won’t be satisfied until Geocities is more popular then Tumblr.

Meskerem

I went to this Ethiopian restaurant called Meskerem today. I LOVED the food. They have this dosa-kinda thing that is huge and so SOFT. It is yummy. I ate that with avocado. Was supposed to be an appetizer, but it was so heavy. I still feel so full. The server was really nice. The best part of the evening was we had this entire room to ourselves. So we could shout and talk and laugh and do all sorts of crazy things.

The server has actually been to India lots of times and has also stayed in my home town, Calcutta. She happened to know the person who made the documentary “Born Into Brothels”. One of her friends is working for an NGO and is involved in the better of lives of kids who are born to sex workers. The server’s also been to Bombay! It was nice talking to someone who’s traveled and knows so much. I’ll probably go back again.

Interesting concept. I wish the formatting were more professional. Otherwise…quite cool.

Every bad situation has something or the other positive.Even a stopped clock shows correct time twice a day.Think of this and win the world.
— This is how I usually try to approach every hurdle. Recently, I was facing a number of behavioral challenges at work. I looked at it as a situation for me to get to know the other person and adjust accordingly. It’s not easy and took a big mental toll on me. (via madhukar)

While one third of the women said the thought of approaching their fourth decade “filled them with dread”, many saw it as a coming of age, with 65% of respondents creating a list of things they wanted to achieve before their birthday.

The Turning 30 report, which was carried out by the magazine Elle, also found that today’s 30-year-olds were no longer the career-driven women of a decade ago but were instead looking for happiness in their personal lives ahead of work fulfilment. Some 70% of women considered it the age at which they put their relationships and personal lives ahead of their careers, with more than 80% thinking it was the perfect age to get married.

But it also suggested women had not given up on ambition: instead they were widening their understanding of it to include all the elements of their lives that bring them happiness, be that work, love, family or a combination of all of them, without the pressure to prove themselves in one single sphere.

Listen and listen closely—I will not say this again.  I am not ashamed.  I am not filled with regret.  I am not going to change my mind.  This is who I am. 

I have a brain and I also have breasts.  I am proud of both.  I have a mind, a working mind, a productive and creative mind—I also have a body.  This is the wonderful thing: my body does not negate my mind.  My mind does not negate my body.  Look, isn’t this wonderful?  I can have both!

I understand that in the past women were forced to make a choice: be beautiful or be brainy.  Be serious or be sexual.  Be chaste or be chastised.  That time has passed.  

I refuse to be forced to make a choice, to submit to the virgin/whore dichotomy.  I refuse to sacrifice happiness, contentedness, satisfaction, adventure—I refuse to sacrifice my life and my personality for an archaic and oppressive virtue.  I refuse to endure lectures and judgment from people who cannot understand my choices.  I refuse to be silenced.  I refuse to be censored.  I refuse to be defeated by a worn out, baseless argument for chastity or modesty whose only purpose is to deny females their right to have it all.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 21st century.  Welcome to a world where a woman can have sex however she chooses: in a relationship, outside of a relationship, in love, out of love, in a hurry, out of lust, in excess and out of darkness.  Welcome to a world without double standards.  Welcome to a world without medieval codes of conduct, disparate expections for men and women and, best of all, welcome to a world where seeking pleasure does not mean invoking shame—your own or someone else’s.

Do not tell me that in celebrating my body, my sexuality, my physical existence that I am somehow betraying myself—betrayal would be denying myself the right to choose the colour and context of my happiness. 

If you look at me and only see breasts that is your failure, not mine.

Paint me with a scarlet letter; I will wear it with pride. I will happily, dutifully wear that letter as a symbol of my refusal to be broken by the misogynist social code that prohibits women from exalting in their capacity to simultaneously experience sex and respect.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 21st century.

In celebration of womanhood- Ruhi
