Over the next few days I will be switching the primary domain name from mtsutro.org to mountsutro.org although both will continue to work (no need to change any bookmarks).

Yeah, so I finally bought something for myself I had been wanting for a while. With the combination of an online coupon and a special Office Depot was running, I decided it was time to purchase the MX700, Logitech's flagship mouse product.

Aside from being optical and cordless, the MX700 features a recharge base to reduce the amount of batteries that have to be purchased and used. This is an upgrade from my previous cordless Logitech mouse that was not optical. I am happy.

An infograph on Gay TV from The Onion.

Gay-themed television series like Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Boy Meets Boy are popular with mainstream audiences. What's the appeal?

• Viewers like their gays without all that cock-sucking and ass-fucking.
• Better than Oxygen's Lesbian OshKosh B'Gosh Outlet-Store Shopping Spree.
• 90 percent of Americans are latent homosexuals.
• Fans can live fun-filled life vicariously through gay characters before having methodical sex with wife in Mobile, Alabama.
• Explode myth that gay people are human beings just like the rest of us.
• Homosexuals not so intimidating when they're only 22" tall.
• Lost remote, accepting alternate sexuality easier than getting up and crossing room.
• The Mexicans already has a network, why not the damned fruits.
• Crocodile-huntersexuals, Obsournosexuals and Antique-Roadshowsexuals are old hat.

I have been looking forward to this event for several weeks now and thought I would share it for those who may not yet be aware of it. You may have already noticed its distinct presence in the sky as Mars' is gearing up to be closer to the Earth than it has been since 57997 BC. Though closer than normal passes have occurred more recently in 1766, 1845 and 1924, this proximity takes home the award for closest. So be sure to head outside on 27 August and check out Mars. Those with even amateur-level telescopes should be able to see some surface or atmospheric detail.
