As some of you may or may not know I was recently laid off from my job at the illustrious Eastman Kodak Company.  Some may have seen this coming, I would like to say I have no regrets about my time there as it allowed me 3.5 years of valuable experience and income.  But now that I have some free time on my hands I find myself in the middle of an awesome vacation.  I haven't been contributing...

In a stunningly retarded move, Microsoft plans to start a social networking site that is pretty much the same as the myriad of Soc-Net sites around, only Microsoft will make you pay for the content that you put on your page. Wallop says the plan to charge users for the decorations will supplant the advertising that supports many such free sites. The add-ons will initially cost somewhere between...

I forget what other website does this (village voice maybe?), provides a picture and then lets you decide what the caption should say.  This thing just looks totally ridiculous, but still pretty cool (damn you Toyota).  I am going to have to go with "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Technology makesit to Reality".  This references the ATHF episode known as "e-Dork"where Master Shake and Carl...

And as their usual standard of quality must be upheld, it's gonna be fuckin' hot.  They have collaborated with Stones Throw Records in the past for Danger Doom (Danger Mouse and MF Doom).  They also produced Chocolate Swim which actually was pretty sweet as well.  Now they have taken the partnership with Stones Throw further than a Stones Throw (sorry =P)  to produce Chrome Children...

New changes in the format of facebook have prompted an unexpected backlash at the sites controllers.  I am not really sure how I feel about this.  I am big proponent of privacy, and being a member of a social networking site myself I can see how this could be annoying.  I can't really understand getting all worked up over it.  Maybe this is a sign that I am actually getting older...

So my Mom and Dad are moving and selling the family house :^( As part of this effort my Dad has been going through old papers and throwing things out. He says to me when I go home that he has some papers from college he wants me to go through and throw out if I don't need them. I said to him that it was all probably junk and that we should just throw it all out. He says to me "Well here is one...

That's right, I bought into it*. I went to see SoaP (as it is being referred to on the Interweb these days). And as you will most likely here from anyone else who also sat through it, it actually was not that bad. It was enjoyable (it was like a really long version of "When pets attack" Snake Edition). You might hear a lot of things about this movie. That it really did not do that well despite...

When the 9/11 report was released not many people really sat down and read it.  By this time many conclusions had already been brought about by scattered evidence.  It was mostly a formality so that events that took place could be set against a reasonable timeline.  Undoubtedly there was some information in there that people did not know, but we felt that we needed to know all we wanted...

Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a nice guy to everyone I meet.  Guys, girls, aliens, republicans, anyone.  I have many friends,  a lot of them hot chicks.  Let me say right now that I would have sex with 98% of them, readily.  This article on the Friend Zone is my life in a nutshell.  The friend zone doesn't bother me much.  Maybe I have just gotten used to...

Sweet Village Voice article on how Parkour is hitting the streets of NYC and America in general.  Those of you who are loyal readers will remember that I too am part of a Parkour group named the Rainbow Traceurs.  I haven't been practicing the art as much as I should, my last experience being when I tried some Parkour moves in my house and ended up breaking my staircase banister.  At...

I encountered the reference to this Village Voice piece in an article on Slate's website during their 10 year anniversary.  It's a fairly long tale of a virtual rape which intrigued me enough to read to the end.  Reading this now in 2006, I can only think of the type of reaction that it had at the time versus the type of reaction it will receive today as you read it from the future of computing...

Two little bits here that seem unrelated although some abstract thought in my head that is pretty hard to put my finger on tells me somehow they are.In this piece about the loss of close inter-personal relationships as a by product of the internet, I think the last paragraph states the problem with this type of study correctly.  The study used was done from 1985-2004.  Much has changed in...

In the first of what is sure to be many lawsuits against social netowrking sites, a 14 year old girl and her Mother (I guarantee mostly her mother) is suing myspace.com, their parent company and a 19 year old of sexual assault (the crime itself was perpetrated by the 19 year old, myspace did not sexually assault this girl).  This absurd.  I read a bunch of the comments on this site, and...

Yo,Most that know me know that I like the whole social networking thing.  Heck, I met a chick on one of those sites (facebook, myspace, friendster, etc...) and it actually seems to be working out.  Last.fm is like a social network for music, its actually pretty nice if not a little dense.  Check it out and look through it.  It's free to join but some of the better features you...

While I was at a Highland Games Festival (Mad Anthony Rugby Tournament) a few weeks ago my friend received this as some random hand-out. It was a million dollar bill on the front and there was text on the back. We read it and found it quite humorous, take a look. I wrote the text down just in case you can't zoom in close enough to read the back of the bill. I don't want to screw anyone out of...

Hello everyone. It has finally happened. I read an article, posted a response and actually got a response back from the author. This confirms that someone is actually sometimes reading the crap that I spout. Yay for me, thanks Mr.McAllister for taking me seriously enough to write back to, slow news day or do you actually do this often? All the same, here is the original article, with my and Mr....

This man truly sickens me. He also has a special place in my science fiction loving heart because I truly believe he is an alien living in a human husk, there is no other explanation for the things he says or does. His latest claim to fame is...wait for it...that he can leg press 2,000 lbs. This is in response to Madeleine "The Hulktress" Albright claiming she can leg press 400 lbs. Listen, I...

I guess we all kind of know what the practice of happy slapping entails, maybe we have never given it a name. Or maybe what we know as happy slapping has taken to new heights with all the video recording and sending to other people. My friends and I used to have a similar practice to this called "The Clap" (no, not the venerial disease although that connection just made itself apparent in my mind)....

These petty thieves will never stop will they? The RIAA has just opened suit against XM radio for releasing a product that time shifts what they are listening to. Can we please have some sort of federal mandate that can disband this organization as well as the MPAA? These two organizations make themselves look more frightened and confused every time I hear about another suit that they are passing....

In this article is described a bill that would prohibit the viewing of social networking sites in school and public libraries and other places that children may connect with the interweb that happens to be federally funded. I am not saying that this is a totally bad idea, but I also think this is another example of people taking less and less responsibility for themselves and loved ones. People...

This is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of. If it works, fine but that doesn't make it intelligent. The problems inherent in this system are obvious. Unless the dogs can also sniff out Copyright there are going to be a crap load of false positives, which leads to nothing more than wasted time for the dogs and the humans in charge of them. The MPAA wonders why they are not able to stop...

Many people might not know what this is, or even why it's such a big deal. Well here is a simple unbiased explanation. Cable and telecom companies (these are the guys that provide you with a high speed connection) want to start charging companies like Google and Yahoo! for a priority spot in their sea of bandwith. They would charge these companies some unknown amount so that end users like you...

For those poor saps that don't know yet you better ask somebody. Nintendo's new system is the shiznite, and it's now called the "Wii" (as opposed to its pre-release name of the Revolution). Much discussion has been had over the quality of the name; is great or garbage and what it means to the system. The short story is "it doesn't matter!" (said like the Rock). Nintendo will make great games on...

This is the hilarious transcript of Stephen Colbert (Formerly of the Daily Show, and now the host of the Colbert Report) speaking at the white house correspondents dinner. Man this is some funny isht. It takes some serious guts to stand up and insult the president all under the guise of being with him. He is basically backslapping the pres and Bush can't do anything back. If we find Colbert's...

I have a few stories to draw your attention to for today, but I want to lead off with one that I have a personal stake in, mostly because this guy could be me. I posted a story a little while ago about a NYC Board of Ed employee getting canned becuase he was caught playing solitaire by the esteemed Mayor of NYC. Today I like to say that madness has ended. A Judge ruled in favor of Toquir Choudri...

Today I found out that my immediate boss is resigning from the company. He was a really cool guy and it's not gonna be as fun at my job without him. The other part of this is what it says to you in your career as one of your earliest bosses, most likely one of your first resigns from the company before you move to your next job. It's different when they just get a new position and they are no longer...

After a nice easter weekend vacation to NYC I am back in the saddle. Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it has been over two weeks since my last post. But not to dissapoint I have some interesting stuff here for you to read. It's a lot to put into one post but it has been building up for quite sometime now and the amount of links should keep you busy while I think up a much more witty post to...

Three quick stories here. Usually when I read or decide to put something up here it because it's cool or a technoloigcal advance but these three stories just made me laugh for some reason. The first talks about the newest allergy to hit mankind, a hyper-sensitivity to electricity. While I was reading this article I thought to myself, this article could totally be in the onion. The phrasing they...

Oh Debra, Debra! This kid is 14 years old and he got to hit that?! The fact that she is not going to jail means our justice sytem is not totally lost. I don’t know man, I know we should call it a crime but they are goiung to let her off just because that 14 year old must have received the proportional benefits to what she is losing. She’s losing her job and her ability to be around kids plus...

A European company know as Eurotech has introduced the WWPC (Wrist Worn PC). The device can run either linux or Windows CE. This is a pretty sleek looking device and probably the pre-cursor to a whole generartion of ultra powerful/ultra portable devices...that are actually worth using. There have been a few devices that have boasted high computing performance in your pocket. There was the OQO Pocket...

Here is an interesting article in Wired Magazine touting the explosion in RFID as a sign of nasty things to come. The article draws many reference to the book of revelations (which has come to be the butt of many jokes recently including the Simpson's episode about The Rapture) in which a mark of the beast (a demonic figure I can only assume) makes itself present on non-believers and basically signals...

You would think that people when taking drugs that are actually prescribed to them would adhere to the label and follow all directions with repect to how many you should take and what you can and cannot take it with. That makes sense to most rationale people, but in yet another example of the type of adults that live in this world and especially this country we find that not to be true. In an article...

In one of Isaac Asimov's many novels "The Naked Sun", he describes a planet known as Solaria. This planet was settled by those that favored robotic assistance in most of lives ventures as opposed to the anti-robot movement (both schools of thought originate from earth, the original world of course). While these two groups clashed greatly when they're first created, they now slightly resembled each...

Since it has been so long since my last post and since I really don't feel like writing anything about anything, I am going to continue my blog version of a cheesy clip show. Here is part 2 and 3 of the original "Beep Boppin' & Scattin' ". Enjoy.Ok so some dissapointment here:1) It turns out that I have lost an issue somewhere. So you are stuck with the lack luster and short 3rd issue.2) It's...
