Ick, I’ve been home with the flu for 3 days. Between James Bond movies and sleep I’ve had some time to think about the direction of my life. I have concluded I would like to drop out of society as I know it, move upstate to a cabin in the woods and make […]
I ride the subway every friggin day, and I hate it. I hate crowding into the cars like a cow, being smashed up against some smelly stranger with no manners and an attitude. I hate fat-asses squeazed up against mine because some stupid man has the inability to judge the width of his own body. […]
Some folks have complained to me that I have been stingy with the new pixel people. You are all right. I have been procrastinating new additions while I have been reprogramming and cleaning up rough spots on this site. Well, inspired by some fabulous Halloween constumes this year, you might be glad to hear that […]
Last night on the news I saw a feature about the piles upon piles of the Etcha-Sketch-looking touchscreens now being used in Florida’s voting system. People who won’t be using the touchscreens include the 94,000 people on the list “scrubbed” by the “felon purge” list compiled by DBT Online at the behest of Katherine […]
Hi all. There is some major reconstruction going on tonight. Some stuff might be broken for a bit. I appologize in advance. Thanks for your patience. Wish me luck.
Well, everything went well. The big change is very simple actually. NO MORE FRAMES! That was a very poor design choice to start with. I did it […]
Apple announced a sweet new version of the Titanium Powerbook today. Now 1GHz, 60GB HD, 15.2-inch display with 1280-by-854 resolution, built-in, slot loading Super Drive (DVD and CD burning), DVI video output, and the usual nuilt in Airport, 1 in thin, 5 hour battery life (which is more like 2 1/2), up to 1 GB […]
I added a new fluffy feature to the site (this page only right now for beta testing). Special thanks to Jennifer from scriptygoddess.com for the great and simple php + cookie code for the new trick. You’ll notice at the bottom of this page that you can now customize a primary and secondary color for […]
I am not surprised by the media’s handling of the historic mid-term GOP wins. I’ve said it before, but the media bias is really staggering. It’s that slick, educated bias that’s hard to detect because it’s so imbedded in the language, subconsciously shaping the thoughts of all those who read it. For example:
“Republicans SEIZE control […]
A good friend of mine from work, Slavi, after reading Rich’s recent post asked me, “Hey, what de hell is GOP stand for?” (He’s from Yugoslavia). I looked at him and said, “Oh, that’s um, something, something party. Maybe, um, like, Government something. I don’t know.” So I googled it, and turned up this:
“The […]
It’s the middle of the night. I am so aggravated I can’t sleep. So, I’ll rant instead.
I am an impatient man. Anyone will tell you that my tolerance for stupidity, bad manners, and scam artists is very, very low. However, there are certain truths that cannot be avoided: traffic, taxes, crammed subways, and stupid clients, […]
Witold posted a little story on his blog this week that made me laugh out loud. The whole post can be read here. It’s pretty cool what you can find in the garbage sometimes. This morning I found a near mint condition NY Post on top of the can on 22nd and 6th. Good read. […]
Can’t we all jusy get along? Like these folks. They really know how to party.
This reminds me. Let’s get a collection together of all the funny personal websites ever made. Please post whatever you can remember. The “I Kiss You” guy (the original), the Peter Pan guy, whoever, everyone. Post as a comment for now […]
How psyched am I? One of my favorite blog-hacking sites, scriptygoddess, recently did a redesign, adding a number of great new php functionalities and writing tutorials and providing the source code for it all. In fact, the color customization I added as a test at the bottom of this page cam almost entirely from them. […]
It’s hard for me to add commentary here at all. Here’s two photos that speak 2000 words.
Here’s a shot of Tom Daschle. He may actually be the antichrist. At the very least, it’s hard to find true patriotism in this guy. What a joke.
Everyone’s favorite whipping boy, George Bush, at it again. I guess he […]
Here’s something a little out of control. This web design/development company, Cyberteks Design (horrednous name) was founded 3 years ago by 11 year old (yes, 11) Keith Peiris. He’s 14 now, and very rich. The company is thriving and I don’t know why. This is from the “about us” section:
Cyberteks Design, a Division of Cyberteks […]
I had planned on my first post being gearhead related, but this is far too important.
It has been announced.
SANTACON 2002
DECEMBER 14th
For the curious: Santacon
Who’s In?
Anybody else having problems with yahoo? Sometimes, I can’t bring up the page. Other times, I can’t get my mail. I’m tech stupid so this is probably my doing, but on the off chance I’m not at fault, I’d like to know so my tech confidence doesn’t drop any further.
Found this on americandreamcomics.com. Yep, its the Jimmy Corrigan action figure. The comic popped up on a thread here so I thought you’d like to see it. Even witold.
Witold recently wrote a blog about an interesting All He Could Eat experience. I laughed. Then I had my own.
Last night, Kevin and I went out to Williamsburg to see David Cross do a little standup at a fantastic Bar on N 6th called Galapagos. Beforehand, we decide to grab some dinner. Practically on the […]
I decided to buy some speakers. I didn’t want a subwoofer, as these speakers would be for my laptop that I keep in an area with limited space, and I wanted the additional portability a simple 2 speaker system provides. I found a great pair of speakers from Bose, called MediaMate. They have good reviews, […]
What the fuck is up with this guy? Seriously. Look at the enlarged image, specifically his nose, and tell me what the hell this guy thinks when he looks in the mirror. HIS NOSE IS PEELING OFF!!!! Doesn’t he have friends or advisors or a boyfriend or girlfriend or someone who could say, “Hey Mike, […]
I don’t normally post porn, or nudie stuff, or boobie pictures, but this is just too good. Warning: Some nudity (boobies) in this link. Enjoy: An Eye Full - Best use of Flash ever! Special thanks to Slob for sending this one over. Thank you.
My recent Amazon experience reminded some of my friends, who reminded me, of a past debacle I had with Sprint PCS. It’s a pretty funny saga, so I thought I might post it.
Let me preface the whole thing with the following: I HATE FUCKING SPRINT PCS. The service doesn’t work. The customer service doesn’t […]
This story on cinescape.com clearly shows a Mickey Mouse ina 700 year old fresco in Malta. Sue-happy Disney should be running for cover. Stupid mouse could never hold a candle to Looney Tunes anyway.
For months, Joergen has been telling me that germany’s not worth stayin in. The population is shrinking and unemployment is rising. I think now I finally agree with him since in the news today there’s a story stating how your brain’s not even safe. Three gang leaders brains are missing from the university. Naturally, […]
OK, OK, OK. This is all a bad joke right? I mean, how could the guy who cranked out the tune, PYT, Pretty Young Thing, be the same guy who is going wild in Germany?! First, he bangs Macaulay Culkin at age 12 or something, then Corey Feldman at age 27 or something. Look how […]
I know this thing has gone around for years now, but I just love it. I am still not sure that it’s real, but it sure looks that way. God, it’s amazing what can change in 50 years…
Click the image to see it.
I don’t know where this came from orginally, so I can’t give credit. A friend sent it to me by email today and I laughed. I thought I would share.
Who Reads the Newspapers
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The New York Times is read by people who […]
The New York Observer has a great article today about 3 New York Comedians who figured out a beautiful way to tape their own late night parody talk show, in NBC Studios, with cameras, lighting, and a live audience, for $80 an episode. Then they got show on public access cable in Manhattan. I don;t […]
I just totally updated the links section of this site. It now uses a moveabletype blog, with categories. This will make updating soooo much easier. Witold and I sort of developed the idea of how this might work together. The he beat me to the punch and implemented first. Now, I used some minor bits […]
In honor of the upcoming second season of my favorite show, here is my latest series of pixel people, The Osbournes. These are packaged with a nice little frame and logo, but will appear elsewhere individually. I hope you like…I like…
I read a little poster on the subway on my way home from work. NYC posts these little “poetry in Motion” signs up where there isn’t advertising on the light boards. Anyway, for some reason I liked the poem today, and I memorized it. It was written by William Carlos Williams. He lived from 1883 […]
Rich saw that saw Williams poem on the train today and doesn’t like it. He thinks it sucks. I like it, so I looked up some more poetry from William Carlos Williams. Here are two:
Blizzard
Snow:
years of anger following
hours that float idly down —
the blizzard
drifts its weight
deeper and deeper for three days
or sixty years, eh? Then
the […]
crazyapplerumors.com has an article about a great new technology, that makes ALL of our cables obsolete:
Reports from Cupertino indicate that Apple is preparing to shock the technology industry yet again. Sources within the company claim that the next round of PowerBooks and iBooks will make laptop users fully mobile through the introduction of wireless […]
