Did I mention I’m currently going to the dentist about once a week to fix my rotten teeth? Well I am, and it’s a ball.

I’f she’d told me she’d pitch a fucking tent in my mouth I would have brought marshmallows.

This SMS went all over Norway some few nights ago. To whom Dr. Mads Gilbert (Wikipedia Entry) who incidentally hails to my own city of birth, originally sent this outcry I don’t know, but it tells a sad story which should compel us all into action.

Edit: I still stand for everything posted below but decided to hide it beneath the cut, since I believe the SMS speaks volumes and I really don’t want to politicize this blog too heavily.

This is possibly the most uplifting news I’ve heard from a tech-company in a long while. Google has openly stated in a blog post that they oppose a certain proposition that would eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry.

Snipped:

it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 — we should not eliminate anyone’s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.

I think it’s a bold move for Google to take, but one I think every right-thinking company should take. After all, you don’t find many companies saying they are neutral on segregation between black and white people, do you?

Edit: So has Apple, Adobe, Yahoo and several others! Sanity at last!

Edit 2: I’m that if you heard about this in the first place you’ve also heard that the Proposition passed anyway. To which I can only respond: “Fuck you California. No really, Fuck you!” ¹

Chrome!

And that’s all I have to say about that.¹
