You hit Engadget or Gizmodo, and I swear, whenever someone brings up “Palm”, it’s almost as if they really want Palm to go out of business. It’s a visceral hate for a small company that has innovated so much in the market and has really been a great player in the mobile market for much [...]
I heard that a school here in town banned hugs. Apparently, middle school kids were hugging TOO much. Now, my first response was “what kind of neo-puritan fascist crap is this?” Then I heard the other side…apparently, kids hug each other so much before classes that they’re late for class, and they “peer pressure” other [...]
It’s so, so simple. Look, stop giving money to politicians. When they look at you, with that longing, pained look in their eyes because they need to finance another commercial…pull your wallet away. Put your wallet right back in your pocket.
We have a shortcoming of funding in Medicare. Obviously. Of course we have a shortcoming in Medicare funding…it’s a health insurance system that, instead of only ripping people off by insuring only healthy people like the private insurance companies, it only insures people who are elderly and probably have more health problems. And there are [...]
So, I hit a link last night where a ton of people, looking for their Facebook login by searching it off Google, left all these hilarious comments all over that blog’s site complaining that they couldn’t “log in to their facebook”. After laughing and leaving a comment that the author of the blog shouldn’t encourage [...]
Can Ugly be a Roman numeral? That’s what the U stands for. I’m a pretty reserved dude for the most part. In the last 12 years, I’ve cried roughly 5-6 times that I really remember, and believe me, this last decade wasn’t too good to me. When my wife left me, that was one. When [...]
So, we started off the week watching the Saints play the dirtiest game they could possibly muster against the Vikings. Literally, Gregg Williams admitted that his game plan was to have his guys ignore penalties and try to injure a 40 year old future Hall of Famer. I’d say that’s going to come back to [...]
I heard that line again. If there is one phrase from this last decade that needs to die, it’s “We fight them there, so we don’t have to fight them here!” How, pray tell, do you stand up and cheer at the Olympics for a nation of people who hide and cower behind their troops [...]
Okay, so my old, exceptionally expensive laptop’s graphic cards blew up. Don’t work. Then my desktop died. Thankfully, in a pinch of spend craziness, I bought a sub-400 dollar netbook last year (MSi Wind, great netbook by the way)…and I used that to get myself a job. Had two offers on the table, one was [...]
Allow me to provide a perspective for you from the perspective of someone who came dangerously close to the point of no return. This will most likely offend your sensibilities, so be warned. Yes, it’s about society. More importantly, it’s about your society, and your social mores, and whether or not you participated in this, [...]
