Thanks to a note from Ashburn Eng, founder and creative director of Singapore-based Test Shoot Gallery, we not only discovered that the Vouyeuristic shoot we posted is originally from there, but found lots of other eye candy. TSG is a new blog that seems to be mostly focused on showcasing Eng’s fashion direction and photographers such as Soon Tong, May Lin Le Goff, and Eric Seow , plus a host of models, makeup artists, and designers.

cris, a flood of Well, I’ve been playing around with Encryption these days, and I finally got around to implementing GnuPG encryption for my email. It’s taken some time, and a lot of work on my part to get it right, but I finally did it.
My public PGP Encryption Key (right click and “SaveAs”)
I’m doing this because I’m terrified of the Government’s far reaching influence and the slow erosion of things like personal privacy. You send me an email, I can read it on my server. That’s fine. But so can all the administrators of the server, so can the people who own the programs residing on that server, and so can anyone who has admin access. A Federal subpoena (and even those without one in some cases) can force the companies to present them with that information and those emails. And I wouldn’t know about it.
The only way to safeguard myself from that is to start using encryption.
Unfortunately, I can’t set up Daven’s Journal to send me encrypted emails from the email form page without buying a lot of specialized software and certificates and so on, which I really don’t have the money for. So, I tell you this:
My email address is all over this site. I have about 400 + pages and of those, there are a lot that have my email address on it, even if the link for the email address goes to the email page. Use your brain and copy that address, put it into your email program’s “To” field, use the public key to encrypt the information you are sending me, and send the email. Do this for important stuff, things that you would be embarrassed or upset if it got out. But use it. If you can’t find my email, it is daven (at) davensjournal (dot) com
And find out about online communication security. It’s becoming more and more necessary these days.

33. (1) Words importing female persons include male persons and corporations and words importing male persons include female persons and corporations....meaning by law that "male" and "female" are technically interchangeable and effectively meaningless. So, really, even before the Civil Marriage Act was changed from "the lawful union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others" to "the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others" the legal meaning was the same (which, of course, is why it was a no-brainer to "change" it.)
So how did I fall for the Bobtail? Two of them live in one of the enclosures and as I cuddled this little armoured fellow, he went on a quest for the warm. Little did he know he was about to hit the overheating jackpot. Not only was he getting cuddled by a Canadian who was desperately unused to the Aussie summer heat, but she was wearing two layers AND long sleeves on her shirt to keep the sun off her albino skin. Bonus! So he had himself more or less his own heat blanket. It was hard to give him back to his enclosure mate who was peeping (thinking that he was getting some kind of food that she wasn't) but rationality won out. It was going to be too hard to smuggle the little fellow back to Canada and too cold for his heat-loving heart to bear. He would have wound up peeping a phrase that wouldn't sound unlike a very small "Fuck off!"
I got to meet one of the endangered residents, Boodie. This little guy was all curled up and refused to move his head out from under his towel to look at me due to the bright sunlight. He's a Bilby and where once these little charmers nearly overrun Australia, they are now estimated to be extinct in less than ten years. The best hope they have is to be a captive breed, but between the feral cats and the mining companies *cough cough* who are stripping them out of their habitat they haven't got a snowball's chance in hell. I nominate letting them use my apartment as a breeding ground/habitat, but the idea of having to shake the Bilbys out of my costumes, hats, and pantyhose and so on is a little daunting. Of course, if I could train them to do some dancing and be entertaining the Aussie government may find some funding in their pockets for a protected area... They'd have to wear tiny little hats, though.
