If you can’t see the flash, then head to YouTube to watch it. Reminds me why I missing watching the Simpsons on a regular basis. On a serious note: When you cast your vote on Election Day, make damn sure the machine is working right and calibrated, if you’re voting on a machine. Make sure [...]

It’d appear that people think you are faking your birth certificate when it is worn and the toner that is on it wears off. Stupid idiots. (Even when you can see that it’s worn toner, and you can see that the letter hasn’t been altered. Surely, technical types cannot be the only people that can [...]

Roy Schestowitz often posts two kinds of links: highly underrated, and highly overrated.

No joke: Many consumers don’t like free software. They fear it. My brother in law [...]

I was going to post this last night, but I wanted some time to think about what I’d just finished reading before I decided to write about it here. Yesterday, I read Little Brother. It was an awesome, amazing read. It is also the only book that I have ever read entirely on my computer [...]

Wonder why I hate airports? It’s because they’re full of total, utter shit. Airports are some of the most stupid and ignorant places a person can go. Very new technology? Not permitted, because it’s not understood. Why, even when it is, if the TSA breaks it, they can threaten to arrest you when you get [...]

You might want to check out this article which highlights some interesting things that the government is looking to do, and a way that you can (potentially) stop it from continuing. You may want to do some independent research on the issue, as well.

There are many reasons that I can think of to avoid the title “professional” appearing anywhere near my name.
