When I was younger I worked retail, and I remember dreading the holiday season; we’d be completely busy, and customers were never ruder.  I’ve seen ads poking fun at rabid crowds trying to break down doors before stores open to get the latest deals around the holidays, and it’s always some comment about how the [...]

Boycott the RIAA in March

Since I support this idea I’m reposting it from Gizmodo.com. “Alright, we’ve been following the RIAA’s increasingly frequent affronts to privacy and free speech lately, and it’s about time we stopped merely bitching and moaning and did something about it. The RIAA has the power to shift public policy and to alter the direction [...]

Separating the man from the soy

An amazing proclamation from a column by James Rutz (pictured), chairman of Megashift Ministries and founder-chairman of Open Church Ministries, titled, “Soy is making kids ‘gay’“. Yep, apparently it’s just that simple folks, Mr Rutz blazes on without nary a mention of sources or anything resembling science, but I’m sure those things will just [...]

Bad Brains - Pay to Cum

Between listening to lots of early Ramones, thanks to my son, and the closing of CBGB, it’s very cool that I found this today; it just made my day. Bad Brains at CBGBs in 1979, damn, just behold the power of punk!

Hello (again) world

Are you like me, do you like to roll with the changes? Well I have, as you can see, with a move to Wordpress from the cool, but unstable Typo. My Typo experience was a blast, but honestly I just don’t have the time to babysit a webapp running on my server (which [...]

Linux speeds past OS X (again)

Alright, so now that you can run Linux and Mac OS X on the same native hardware that Linux was originally built, a more direct comparison of speed and efficiency can be achieved between the two venerable operating systems. (You know, because before Apple moved to Intel chips, PowerPC/RISC was tons more efficient and [...]

How to Be a Curmudgeon on the Internet

David Pogue of the New York Times has written a great piece titled How to Be a Curmudgeon on the Internet which covers how rude and arrogant people are in their criticisms when sent via email. It’s so true, the autonomy gives authors a “right to speed” as it were. People think they’re [...]

Blackberry handhelds/servers vulnerable to attack

While I’ve never had a Blackberry, but have played around with them and understand their appeal. Still, until today I didn’t have any idea of how the backend process is setup, and wow, it’s pretty invasive. Now we learn that Blackberry’s are also vulerable to graphics highjacking. If a bad graphic is [...]

Moving boxes

So over the weekend I moved my servers with the idea to gain a bunch of floors space that we need since we’re planning to build a room down there. I didn’t have much time to play with them, as I had a sick boy to take care of, but once he was down [...]
