Civil Rights
I don’t understand what’s wrong with some of you people out there. Congratulations, you got yourselves a shiny new president. He’s very nice. I bet you’re all patting yourselves on the back for “looking beyond the limitations of race” and … Continue reading

Go go Apple design
My third MagSafe adaptor died today. Same failure mode as last time- what happens is that the (coax, fucking hell Apple, will you STOP using coax screen as a high current conductor?) flex kinks at one particular point near the … Continue reading

Raise your expectations
The reason corporate megaliths- especially telecoms ones- are able to screw us, the consumer massive, so badly is simply that we expect them to do so. If you yell and scream at them when they screw up, you will get … Continue reading

Oh, now you’ve done it.
If you’re from Kansas- and I know a few of my friends and coworkers are- I’m deeply, deeply sorry. It seems that some of your compatriots have done something really, really retarded today. Not only have they crippled their children’s … Continue reading

You go forwards, I go backwards
I’m not looking for a new England. Or even a New England, or a New South Wales. Get out and vote, kids, tomorrow; I mean it. This year I won’t be voting for Tony Blair and his Lovely, Lovely Hair. … Continue reading

He Said, She Said
I hate this. I’m being kicked out of my flat. I’m being kicked out, in fact, by an unemployable, rudderless little fuckhead named Neil. Neil Simmons. If you ever meet him, punch him in the face for me. The reason … Continue reading

I hate the USPTO
There, I’ve said it. The USPTO does not sufficiently check patent applications for prior art; its arbitration procedures are horribly over-complex and far too slow, and its lawyer-centric mechanisms are hopelessly biased in favour of large corporations. Take this for … Continue reading

Born to Run
US forces have covertly entered Iran, where they are ‘selecting targets’. So I guess the war in Iraq will expand to engulf Iran, a state which almost certainly does have weapons of mass destruction. From where are the additional military … Continue reading

Lost in Space
I’ve been looking at the past performance of the Prez in Rez, and I’ve noticed something… more than a little alarming. I think there’s something wrong with him. Well, we knew that. But there’s an increasing amount of evidence for … Continue reading
According to Fox News…
… Dutch people are the new Nazis. Apparently the Netherlands are in the middle of a new Holocaust. Fascinating. I just can’t think of a valid comment to make in response to this, except- fair and balanced? I’m bewildered.

Brain drain
During the second world war, Germany failed to develop a nuclear bomb because it had scared away most of its scientists. This isn’t a world war in that sense, but in another sense it is a cold world war, wherein … Continue reading

All hail the Idiot King
Predictions, and let’s just keep this to what’ll happen inside the country, for the sake of the argument. Another major terrorist attack. Given that security was one of Bush’s big selling points, Al Qaeda are going to be highly motivated … Continue reading

Go and vote
If you’re in the US, go and vote now. Please vote for the less-evil candidate. This means the one who hasn’t, thus far, lied to you, wasted billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money, lined his own pockets or been a … Continue reading

Ethnic diversity
Crowd scene a little thin, George? Too many white faces, not enough brown ones? Can’t find enough black people who are prepared to be shot and killed for your buddies? Starting to look a bit… discriminatory? Don’t worry. Adobe has … Continue reading

Oh my God!
I got another hatemail today. I won’t say who it came from, but the basic gist of it was that I’m unamerican! The worst thing is that I checked my passport and it turns out it’s true! I’m not American! … Continue reading
