Some days, I really, really want to hate someone over this. If you use your debit card at a pump that does not require a PIN, the station regularly will block out an amount — often $50 or $75 — on your card. From the great minds that brought you “Anyone who listens to music […]
So, J– and I are moving to Chelsea in a few weeks, depending on the affordability of certain moving companies or the availability of anyone we can scam of kind family members to help us. In doing so, I hope to focus more on my new adopted hometown. Since I don’t have an original thought […]
Someone (warped23) posting on this story on Slashdot left a killer comment. The poster will probably get modded down since this thread has turned into a “my distro is better than your distro” and fact-checking free-for-all, but it sums up nicely what Linux maniacs are unwilling to acknowledge: Linux, to the average user, in inaccessible.

My musical tastes are kind of odd. I’ve been working through about 6 gigs of SXSW music off and on for a while, but I’m firmly rooted in a lot of corporate rock. Having spent a lot of time with ex-pat Brits/Scots in college, I became completely addicted to Oasis. Now that your revulsion has […]
Props to Darren Barefoot and Shelley Powers at Burningbird for finding the real problem with the criticisms of Microsoft with regard to their policy of censoring certain words on the Chinese verion of MSN Spaces. Ethan, we condemn Microsoft for making a monetary decision, but we’re not willing to examine our own buying habits, and […]
Jason Calacanis was detailing his new regimine for weight loss and mentioned Chana Dal. He linked to Bob’s Red Mill (which makes the best Wheat Bran) where you can order this stuff. Anyone ever had this? I’ll probably try this anyway, but I’m curious since I’m guessing Kroger or Meijer’s doesn’t carry this particular Bob’s […]
