why in blue blazes am I still at the office?

Damn, I’m too fast on the enter key. And I don’t have a real content management system, but instead a web form, a few lines of PHP, and some bash scripts. But using FTP and its insecure logins is just evil. Truly. Anyways. Why am I still at the office? I’m almost the only one […]

Xmas wrap-up.

Okay. It’s time for the post-Xmas report. Brace yourselves. First off, I’ve decided to stop saying Christmas and start saying Xmas (as in EKS-mas). For one, I’m not Christian, so Christ doesn’t enter into it for me, so I should stop pretending. Two, there is lots of evidence that Christmas was really a pagan holiday […]

I just simply cannot believe this.

This article has left me totally shellshocked. Completely. Utterly. Fully. I don’t know what else to say. I think I’m only going to travel by rail from now on. And certainly not domestically in the States – I don’t need some idiot security person having me remove my clothes in public, thanks.

euuuuughhh.

Newt and other news

I’ve been collecting great Newton news sites. Here’s my list: Newton Does It. This site is usually updated faster than my brain 🙂 Andre does such a damn fine job with updates, I’m starting to think he might be the most advanced web robot of all time 🙂 Newton Enlightenment. As above, but with images […]

die, telemarketers!

This is one of the smartest things I’ve seen in a long time. A counter-script to follow when a telemarketer calls you, much like the one they use on you. Brilliant. I’m putting this up next to the phone.

American officials totally ignorant of clean power sources – more old news at 11

This story caugh my eye because it mentioned inspectors going to Iran to examine nuclear sites. Not UN weapons inspectors, but the IAEA, to make sure that Iran isn’t developing nuclear technology for weapons uses. The thing about this that made me laugh out loud was in the third from last paragraph: The US says […]
