The worst thing about Detroit isn’t the guns or the violence (although they can be bad at times), it’s the stupid behaviour of the city council. Drew and Mike replayed bits and pieces of the event, and quite honestly I’ve lost all respect for anything good coming out of that group. The amount of catty [...]

In the list of companies I thought would “get” Open Source software, never did I expect Novell to top that list. And top it they have. Netware will now run as a service on top of their SuSE product. Also Novell is planning a corporate-wide move to Open Office. Perhaps corporations are finally realizing that [...]

Slashdot is running an article on compiling examples of absurdities of Fair Use. One of the examples listed is from one of my least favorite bands, Sonic Youth, who require album purchasers to purchase all of their tracks just so they can receive a track of 63 seconds of silence. I’m surprised the estate of [...]

It’s bad enough that I get lots of SPAM, but it’s even worse when that company is a well known company. JCPenney has taken to spamming me. What’s even worse is there is no wat to get off of this list. The links for removal are broken, and e-mailing them is impossible. I’ve stopped shopping [...]

Marty, our betta, is now sporting something of a fish pot belly nowadays. I’m not sure if it’s the sign of something like dropsy (which I don’t think so, because his scales are still flat against his body) or if it’s because I’m overfeeding the little pig (twice a day, sometimes more when he’s dancing [...]
