This is going to be a little nerdy, so if you bail, that’s fine.

I’m really, really getting sick of Android as a prevalent mobile OS.

Three points about the Occupy movement: Why I really, really, really get pissed off at people who obviously don’t know what the hell they’re talking about try and turn those people’s effort into the butt of an unfunny joke.

After rereading a certain person I am acquainted with’s blog again…I realized something even more fundamental: That guy is apparently turned on and motivated by the process of organization.

Let’s face it: nerd toy ownership pride is a big deal. Everyone feels like they’ve got to plop down 500 bucks every 6 months, instead of waiting the normal 2 years or so, to get the latest and greatest version of their smartphone…even if the latest and greatest isn’t really THAT much better than the last one.
