No Hitlers here…..

Besides, Obama is just trying to clean up the mess left by 8 years of Republican mismanagement.

Bush’s Last Day

I just found this comic and squirted milk out of my nose.  Dodged that shoe, yes he did!

Swine Flu?

Newest Customer Service Failure

Since November 19th, 2007, my ‘Worst Customer Service Award’ has been held by a company called goingTODAY.com.  You can read how they came to hold that title here:  GoingTODAY.com? GONE today! Well, today I have nominated a new company for that singular honor.  The company is [...]

How bad will it get?

Due to gross malfeasance, fiscal irresponsibility and cronyism, the Republican party, under the management and leadership of George ‘W’ Bush and Dick(head) Cheney have brought our once strong country to the brink of disaster.  It is possible that we will weather this economic storm and not starve to death.  I wonder if the same can [...]

God vs. Satan

A god this malevolent doesn’t even deserve my respect let alone my worship!

Why TV Lost the War

Something I found on boingboing this morning.  Thoughtful discussion on how the convergence of TV and the computer didn’t really result in a new appliance.  The apparent winner of the war is the computer which has been refined to supplant traditional TV distribution.
Although the advent of some of the devices that stream NetFlix does [...]

Shockwave Game of the Day

Help Van Mausing eradicate zombie mice.

Flash Game of the Day

With a tag line like ‘You’re hallucinating. Might as well enjoy it.’ it’s kinda’ hard to go wrong.

And then Man Created God

It’s About Time!

Finally, a design requirement that makes sense!
I hope that Motorola will live up to this agreement.  I have always found it ludicrous that the USB connector on the RAZR would not accept a standard USB cable connected to my computer.  It always said something like ‘Unauthorized charger’ or some such nonsense.

Single charger coming for mobile [...]

Slow down or even STOP foreclosure by the bank!

I found this article on the local Seattle PI web site and I think that it’s important enough to reproduce here.

YouTube Pulls Atheist Video

A YouTube video that was pulled for “inappropriate content”. That’s right, there is no questioning the legitimacy of organized religion in America. As you all remember, Bush effectively negated your rights. It was all in your best interests (as defined by the radical republican christian right), so don’t worry too much [...]

Man! do I want one of these……

RIAA vs. Tenenbaum, Fears of Manipulation

The RIAA has appealed to the court system to disallow the Web Cast streaming of the proceedings in the forthcoming case against Joel Tenenbaum.  Their argument?  They are afraid the results would be edited out of context and make them look bad.
Really?
How can they possibly look an worse?  Considering that they have waged a [...]

Let The Healing Begin

Below I have pasted an article from my favorite non-American news source, The Guardian.  I read them frequently when I feel as if I can’t trust the ’standard’ news outlets.  Their agenda is quite different than say, Fox News or MSNBC.

My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, [...]

Where is the Outrage?

In an interview with Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, Susan J. Crawford, has admitted that Mohammed al-Qahtani, the suspected 20th terrorist in the 9/11 attack on the US was brutally tortured while being detained in the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.  Brutally tortured by Americans while being held without regard for the Geneva Convention.
Tortured by [...]
