another blog

yes.
So today entails rebuilding my compter and doing laundry. wish me luck.

Your Horoscope For The Day

Linda Black must be the best paid lazy-ass on the planet. All she has to do is write out some formulaic drivel every day and get paid (kind of like a blog, without the pay part). Hell, anyone can do it. Just follow these simple steps, numbered by sentence:
1 - random number to illustrate ‘how [...]

and, like occupation forces, i return

So I’m standing here next to a thermal poster printer making up signs to warn people about last week’s demon worm, W32/Blaster. It makes me wonder… why do people create virii? Sure, OK, there’s the proof-of-concept argument, but does it really help to prove a concept everyone admits to knowing about and knowing that it [...]

Oh yeah, my blog

OK, so I kind of forgot I have a blog. I’ve been busy, ok?
I’ve decided Windows is self-aware. It senses I’m leaving it for Apple, and it’s getting jealous.
People are starting to move in, which is pretty cool. I’m not all alone in this huge building anymore. Which is good. Maybe they can share my [...]

Television reality

So… I can’t stand reality television. OK, news is an exception. But overall, I can’t stand the stuff. What’s even worse than our nascent reality fetish (if you want reality… go outside instead of watching television…) is that now the tables have turned and we’re living in a television reality. Look at the California Governor’s [...]

I return

I’d like to start this entry with a link. It’s no ordinary link, though it may look as such. What makes it special? Well, click on it and find out. NO! Wait! Shift-click on it so my window doesn’t go away. Thanks. We’ll wait. …. Talk amongst yourselves…. alright. For those of you who read [...]

mea culpa

As I walked into the dermatologist’s office, I nonchalantly tossed my gum wrapper in the trash can. And then I couldn’t figure out why everyone was looking at me kind of weird. I had thrown my wrapper in the magazine bin. That means it’s time to organize the thing. The wait was long, but bearable. [...]

I have not yet begun to pack

So it’s interesting to me (in a kind of sad way) that the people of Iraq are so distrustful of their media that they believe rumors that American GI’s have x-ray sunglasses and underwear-based personal cooling units. Students of Engineering are convinced that they have these devices, when simple logic would tell them they can’t [...]

post mock, ergo propter mock

The September 11 attacks may have an impact newborns. First of all, if you’re a news agency running a story, you should have your grammar correct. Second, has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe, the pollution that is allegedly causing these babies to be smaller came from, um, living in New York? I think [...]

Sin ‘n vice ‘n everything nice

While it would make for an interestingly progressive campaign, Ferrero USA, distributor of the tasty hazelnut-chocolate spread Nutella didn’t renew their advertising contract with Kobe Bryant. Some slogans that might have ensued:
This nut’s for you
It’s dark, and I like to spread it
Kobe Bryant’s favorite spread (that’s their actual slogan)
um, that’s all I’m going to put [...]
