So, I mentioned this article to L this morning along with the comment that finally there is a judge with some common sense. The article is about a 33 yr old female teacher having sex with a 15-16 yr old boy. The judge suspended the 2 year sentence against the woman because he could not decide that any harm was done.

We are having a girl soon (beginning of Apr) so the battle of the sexes is a place of contention for us. In some ways it is the fact that I am a pragmatist and in others it’s because I’m a little old fashioned. Her quip was “would it have been different if it was a girl and a male teacher?” Yes, it would have. It would have been very different.

Whether or not the assumed difference between boys and girls sexually is real or made up by society, it is there. I’m sorry, but it is. Hate me. Sex is a penetrative act. Sure, sure, you make love to your partner 100% of the time. There is nothing penetrative about the experience that you share exactly evenly with your partner. There is no dominance or submission. It’s beautiful and cherry blossoms fall upon your bed as it happens. In slo-mo, no doubt.

Sorry, I drifted off there for a minute. Where was I? Penetration. It’s there and males will try to dominate since they are usually the penetrators, hell they will try to dominate even if they aren’t. I hate to say this but it really has a great deal to do with upper body strength and a hunters attitude. I assure you that while we have come a long way baby in the last 50 or so years, it hasn’t even begun to erase the thousands of years of genetics and training.

I’m not saying anything about the equality of men and women or boys and girls. I’m just saying that we live in a physical world and the physical has to be accounted for. I’m not saying anything about the intent of the elder person, I’m sure male or female they are looking for a sexual connection. However, I am sure (from being a guy) that a larger part of it has to do with dominance, conquest and destruction of something pure when it comes to the elder being a male. I said that as easily as I could.

I wish it was no different. I do. One day I think it will be, but for now I will keep my shotgun close and my eye open when it comes to my daughter. As for the boy? I hope he gets laid real soon.

After all I installed the little thing is still pretty snappy. I would highly recommend one of these for anyone’s first laptop.

The main reason I fell in love with the iphone, was all of the apps that people created for the it. It was almost like my beloved open-source world. These apps aren’t open source, but they are close, you can find some really neat and useful apps that are free for the taking. Some cost a dollar or more, and I don’t mind paying for the really cool ones.

Then I came up with a few apps myself, or at least the idea for the apps. Luckily I have another friend who is hip deep in the Mac world and wants to make his own apps too. He has the know-how and some good ideas of his own. So, we talked.

When it came down to the nuts and bolts of it all, I needed to learn how to code for the apps myself also. I haven’t coded anything in over 10 years and I sucked at it back then. But the race is on!

Most of you remember all of the stories of how people were becoming gazillionaires back in the early 90’s. Well, it’s kinda like that right now again. Simple web-apps, mobile apps and cloud computing is the future of our computer driven world. People are making some serious cash now. Regular people. People that have a good idea and put it out there. Hopefully like me.

So my friend, we’ll call him “V” for vendetta, gave me a book that was literally hot of the presses from MacWorld on iphone application development. It’s a good book, well written and new enough to have most of the changes that are happening. Another friend, we’ll call him “S” for Steve agreed to sell me his Macbook so I could learn to code for the iphone. It’s necessary since the SDK (emulator) for the iphone works on it. It’s nice and tricked out, plus it’s black. Black rocks! White sucks!

So, now I have the tools. Now I need to buckle down. Now I need to put something out there. Anything. Something free. Something small.

Anywhooo, I decided I might just blog this as I go along. From zero to whenever. If you don’t hear from me in the next little while, you know what I’m doing. Give me a buzz for an update.

“Dear Mrs. Carmen,

Who the hell left 54 little bars of Camay in my room? I came in last night and found 54 little bars of soap. I don’t want 54 little bars of Camay. I want my one damn bar of bath-size Dial. Do you realize I have 54 bars of soap in here. All I want is my bath size Dial. Please give me back my bath-size Dial.

S. Berman”
