Geek Survey
Okay, of all the clothes you have in your closet right now, how many of them do you wear on a regular basis?
Equal Opportunity Offender
A few folks are upset that 'MoveOn PAC' spent money to advertise on Lockergnome and in this blog. Some folks have even gone as far as to unsubscribe because their party won't pony up the cash to advertise, too. I don't understand the problem? If I went around, saying I was emperor avoiding resources which [...]
Sports is a Disease
I just flipped past a local station (on my way to view tonight's Chunk o' Monk on USA). Football season has officially started. Oh sure, they might call it a PRE-season, but I'm not fooled. It's American football no matter how you slice it . I don't even watch the Super Bowl anymore. I just [...]
Spyware is a Form of Terrorism
This unsolicited commercial e-mail came to me from someone at a company formerly-known-as Mindset Interactive. A quick search on Google confirmed my suspicions. I thought it would be nice to publish the message for all to see. I hope these assholes burn in hell. Hello, My name is Ron Rallis and I am a Media [...]
YES! YES! YES!
My very-accurate scale tells me that I'm now standing at 149 with a BMI of ~20! I'm finally moving past the '50s! I started at ~168 back on July 4th – htting a 600 aerobic calorie burn (plus 10 minutes of anaerobic activity) every day. I've still got ~10 pounds of fat to eliminate, so… [...]
A Better eBay RSS Engine!
And I’m not just saying that because I helped put it together. Seriously, you’ve got a lot more options with this sucker – and we’re planning on adding more (including support for different syndication formats and JavaScript output for easier personal auction lists for your blog). (1) Complete the form to your satisfaction; (2) Press [...]
Good One, Iowa
I'm watching the local UPN affiliate here in LA, and a few minutes ago they decide to run something on the Iowa State Fair. Only, instead of talking about the “Mark & Gary chop,” they highlight some stupid contest where people are (apparently) pushing porta-potties down the street. But wait, there's more! At the end [...]
See What You Share on P2P
This is really freakin' scary.
Physician, Heal Thyself
Oh my. Just hit something on Microsoft's MSN.com and Microsoft's SP2 IE blocked a pop-up. That's kinda funny.
Ray Dio Killed the Internet Star!
Gee, it's too bad the Windows Media Player isn't as easy to use as this Internet Radio client. Ponzi wants to listen to a different lineup every time she sits down, but trying to find a good, working station in Series 9 is next to impossible (and inexcusably time consuming). Can't say as I see [...]
100 Calorie Packs – Death Treats
Well, the idiots at Nabisco have a new series of snacks to offer the world of unsuspecting eaters. Yes, they're banking on the “Oh, it only has a 100 calories – how bad can it be?” factor. They have links to 100 Healthy Living Tips and 100 ways to burn 100 calories on their site… [...]
