So I’m kind of starting to wonder what’s up with people. Hummers, Segway scooters, the INDUCE Act, Al Sharpton, six-shot Grande Peppermint Mochas… will the madness ever end?
There is no reason for anyone without face paint and a gun to have a Hummer H2. Crossing mighty rivers to get to work? Take the bridge. I [...]
I’ve added a poll in the top left. Please vote in it. Every vote counts. And I’ll be changing the topic every now and then too!
So I began listening to the BBC World Service (Thees iz the BBC in Jakahta… love that little commercial thing. Beep beep beeeeeeep!) again this morning, and it’s amazing how much relevant stuff is reported on the BBC that doesn’t even appear on cnn.com. Germany may face a referendum to ratify the EU Constitution. You’d [...]

No [...]
It’s things like this that lead me to believe that monkeys write management books. If anyone uses these words around me in a serious tone, they win a free smack upside the head. Except ‘Tszuj’, which the business-language-terrorists stole from a popular NBC show. It doesn’t belong on the list, and corporate fat-cat types that [...]
Inmates go on a beer run, return to prison with beer, go get more when it runs out, and return again to the prison.
I don’t even know what to do with this one.
What geeks listen to, according to theregister.co.uk. It’s fun to note that Microsoft Certified folks tend to prefer Britney Spears.
Um… other than that, there’s not too much interesting going on in the world. I’m looking for an Apple Cube if anyone wants to give me one … I need something to attach my portable drives [...]
