Cruft: A message to the Internets regarding the iPad

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:18:02 GMT

The thing that I keep reading from those who have actually touched the iPad: fast, very fast. That, beyond any other trimuph, will be what makes this a hit.

SarcMark - Because Your Friends are Dumb?

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 14:45:12 GMT

The only thing I would like to point out, other than what an awful concept this is, is that the mark displayed in the banner of the page is aliased and generally looks like crap. Definitely worth $1.99!

The Good Enough Revolution: When Cheap and Simple Is Just Fine

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:19:49 GMT

This is it. This is the mantra of the current teens and twenties generations. What are companies doing to accommodate this shift in thinking? iPhone developers are bringing this to their software offerings, which in turn is being brought to the desktop. Many of the big companies are doing nothing, which is just fine. They are welcome to fail.

Just a quick note about my last Twitter. I didn't actually retweet @hotdogsladies. I modified a tweet he posted and posited it as his original. THis idea originated from @Mike_FTW who was doing this to some people who really deserved it. Merlin Mann (@hotdogsladies) is a great guy and I love many of the things he writes about but lately he has been a huge crybaby about things he should take personal responsibility for. I only chide him because I love him.

Personal Finance Quiz

If I could get that much out of my budget a month, I would be rich. Some of the brilliant things that will save me money: Install new insulation in my house and buy new tires for my car. Won't that cost me a butt-load of money? Just saying. But really, taking the quiz is a good idea. (Via Lifehacker)

VPILTF: Bringing Politics Down to Our Level

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:46:10 GMT

I'm not real interested in waxing political. Politicians are all assholes and as soon as I can I moving to Montana with my wives and guns. But yesterday's big announcement is sure lots of fun. The former runner-up Miss Alaska is still hot, so it is no surprise that the MILF comments came hard and fast, and so did this site. But for a quick whip-up by an amateur it is pretty good. Interesting to note: it is a MobileMe-hosted site created on a Mac. Gotta be a granola-munching, tree-hugging Democrat. They are the only Mac demo, right?

Turns out white people like to kill everyone

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:36:07 GMT

When looking for a reference for the previous quote, I ran in to a precious gem, Stuff Black People Hate. This particular article points out the shortcoming in the popular argument made by some people that black people are savage based on current U.S. urban crime statistics. The author takes an historic view and points out that one thing that white people seem to enjoy is killing others, as well as themselves, en masse.

Money quote: "In fact, six U.S. cities have been found guilty of shortening the yellow light cycles below what is allowed by law on intersections equipped with cameras meant to catch red-light runners."

What? Corrupt government bodies? I don't believe it.
