Microsoft probably made the tiles interface to make it easier for novice users to use devices. But a lot of more technologically-adept people have been very put off by it. The way Microsoft introduced it was to force it on users which upset a large base of users. The tiles are also clearly designed for…

And, on that day, the person I will vote for President of the United States will be Edward Snowden. I am through voting in the United States. Every election, from the local levels up to the federal levels, is a disgusting farce. There is absolutely no question that Edward Snowden is the most fit person…

Some guy, 8 years ago, makes a $400 donation to some ballot proposition campaign and when he gets appointed as a CEO of some organization everyone shits their pants. But now the company Lyft which wants to introduce service in New York City gets blocked from doing so. And no one gives crap. 23andme, a…

7,000 years ago is in the time called the “Mesolithic” which simply translates into “Middle-stone” age. During this time humans had advanced a lot and were getting more into growing crops and making things.

There’s a theater on top of this one mountain. What a stupid idea. What’s particularly preferable to putting a theater on a mountain as opposed to many other, more logical places? So that frumpy-ass people who probably couldn’t hike more than 100 feet can burn fossil fuel to get all the way up to the…

Just came across this stunning video at sourcewatch.org.  It really drives the point home how America is being fucked by the sick fucks in power.  This is just one other aspect of what is happening.  Also read a good article at prwatch.org about why Walmart’s selling organics is totally fucking up organic agriculture for small…

    Am leaning towards getting an Oreck XL (such as pictured above).  Important features for me: 1) is small and portable (for my studio apt.); 2) has a shoulder strap; 3) has multiple extensions.

I had a Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200. This was before tablets. Smartphones were still primitive, and people still used Palm Pilots. I remember when color displays in PDA’s were a big thing. But then smartphones came along and PDA’s were all but forgotten. The Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 was really cool. But it was also a PITA.…
