Predictions

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Bowing to growing complaints about the cost of gas, six major gas companies will finally lower prices—by changing the unit of measurement. Where you once paid $74.23 USD to fill your tank, you will now pay only .01 PS3, or 1/89th the cost of a PlayStation 3.

What the Flock? (Flock Browser Review)

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

As I noted in my review of the Flock developer preview, Flock is a revolutionary web browser built around the needs of the modern day web surfer. Many things have changed since that developer preview. Code was rewritten, some things were programmed from scratch but the concept remained the same. The Firefox-based Flock aims to be your browser of choice with several key features aimed at the new generation of social web users. The number one question Flock has received is why can’t Flock just roll everything into an extension rather than a browser. The answer is simple. It is not possible to accomplish all that Flock does with a mere extension. You will soon see how this plays out. Flock isn’t any ordinary browser, it is the browser for you and your friends.

I'm so sorry I laughed

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

You may recall that last year I was bitching that some domain campers camped my domain for a year or so then tried to get me to pay $350 US to get it back… well as horrible as it is, divine justice was served to camping swine. (But horrible that so many people lost their lives). Note the proximity to the city of New Orleans, its river, and the Ocean.

How does the Murloc go?

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

I’m sure at some point he’ll ask me why they don’t have murlocs or werewolves at the zoo and I’ll have some explaining to do. I’ve got some time before that happens though, and that’s good because I still need to teach him unicorns and griffins.

Has a great video of his kid, making various animal noises - including a Murloc.

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

I asked the HR dept (all of them) they looked at me then looked at each other and in union said “We’ll get back to you”.

So not untill tomorrow.

Mind

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
