A few months ago, I stumbled upon Violent Acres. It is right up my alley, where I would like to take my blog, if I had the writing style and life experiences. I read the entire blog, every post, in one sitting, and now, check up on it every day.

As I read more, it started to feel very TuckerMax to me. Meaning, I have always felt TuckerMax was nothing more than a writer making up good stories for the sake of generating traffic and in turn revenue. I did not care, as there was still value to me, I enjoyed the writing and the style of the writing. It was a fair trade.

Robyn Blumner has 795 firggin words up on people who throw cigarettes out the window of their cars. I suppose I can agree, it is a bit fucked up to toss a smoke out the window. Seriously though, do I really need all 795 words to figure that out.

It is getting harder and harder to smoke. Banned in bars, banned in parks, soon to be banned in cars, and in some towns, getting very close to being banned in your own home. So yeah, I am going to toss them out the window, just to piss you off, because it is the last thing I can do to assert my right to do to myself whatever the hell I want to do.

Anyone who knows Sonic Youth will know this, though they used a B/W photocopied version. Anyone know what comic this image is originally from?

A while back, there was this female blogger whose vagina was used so infrequently, it crusted over and sealed shut. No longer able to get dicked, she became bitter and fragile, turning her attention to blogging about marketing.

I don’t know all of the details, but a quick summary would be, readers disagreed with her writing. This is often the case when you put your opinions online, and Kathy Sierra freaked out when those disagreements got a little hostile. If you are going to make yourself a public figure, be prepared for anything and everything, otherwise, blog anonymously.

You think Don Imus screwed up, that’s nothing compared to what a court judge can get away with. To quote: (emphasis mine)

The Commission reprimanded a judge who
1) had had an ex parte meeting with a minor who was the subject of a proceeding over which the judge was presiding;

2) had stated to an attorney in open court and in front of a female court reporter and female clerk that the attorney looked like he had been “jacking off a bobcat in a phone booth;”

I am ripping some of my CD collection into iTunes, and came across this Dinosaur Jr. CD. It is self titled, dated 1985, black and white single page insert. It says “Recorded at Chris Dixon’s House”. It’s got a few peoples home addresses on it, and is on some obscure record label.

Sure, one day, this stuff may make it into some online store, but you will never get the awesome nostalgic feeling I just got, while holding this physical CD in my hand. It is a collectible, no matter how old your binary files get, they will never be collectable.

If the analysts are correct, Apple is going to sell a boatload of these iPhones. If the analysts are correct, they are claiming this will be a small nightmare for IT departments, as they will have to support yet another phone, and allow it to have wifi access to their corporate networks.

Maybe Apple, yet again, does not care as much about the phone as they are leading us to believe. Perhaps, if this takes off well, like the iPod did, they will have much easier inroads to selling servers.
