Widgets are freakin' awesome

I love Konfabulator. My cognitive dissonance hasn’t kicked in yet on the system resources it requires because it’s just so damn cool. The Sleep Timer widget just made my day; I’m sure there’s a way to do this in Windows, but I’m too lazy to figure it out. Basically, it’ll shut down, restart, or sleep […]

Don't Give to the Red Cross

Notice this is posted to Politics. I haven’t verified anything in this obvious editorial, but I offer it for it’s emotional value. The author is the president and CEO of a competing (is that the right word) organization to the Red Cross. He obviously has a vested interest in monies coming his way. However, he […]

Mike Brown is a fucking idiot

Sorry for the title, it doesn’t happen often. Mike Brown was in front of Congress today to answer for the disaster he oversaw after Katrina. I understand he doesn’t want to fall on his sword for something he feels isn’t his fault, but the level to which he stoops trying to blame anyone but himself […]

Opera today released their browser for free.. no ads, no banners, no nothing. Very cool. Opera is the parent to many of the features that people love in Firefox, including tabbed browsing. Well worth a look and something else to keep in mind when designing for the web. Link [via digg]

Comments Spam

Sorry to do this, but I’ve had to tighten up my comment policy due to a comment spam attack. 2 days and over 100 spam comments (and that’s for a site with less traffic than 127.0.0.1). Anyone who uses TypeKey gets their comments auto published; otherwise, the comment goes in the queue. Spammers are scum, […]

Cross-examined by Lautenschlager, Vang was asked if each victim deserved to die. Vang answered “no” in some cases and “yes” in others. Stunning… have fun in prison. Link

Penn and Teller on PETA – Bullshit
Post date:
Author: ryanvis
Penn & Teller’s Bullshit! on Showtime is one of the most lucid shows out there. Unfortunately, it’s on Showtime, which I don’t get (thank you, Internet). Today, I found a link to the episode on PETA, the People for the *cough*Ethical*cough* Treatment of Animals. It’s good enough that I’m posting the video here (right-click, save […]
