So why the crap am *I* a node? I’m boring. »

I don’t know about anyone else… but I’ve been online since I was a preteen (early 90s), and while from moment to moment there are definitely things I keep private (direct message worthy, if you will), it seems strange that the entire world wouldn’t or shouldn’t know exactly what I’m doing from moment to moment. [...]

Somebody explain to me… »

How in the hell is Second Life fun? Shitty lagtastic chat room, if you ask me. I am completely incapable of understanding this phenomenon. I’ve downloaded it like… three times in my life, so far. I had beta, once upon a time. It was retarded then, and it’s probably even more retarded now… Am I [...]

Ugh! »

See, I live off of a pretty busy road. Highway, even. My apartment (and therefore everything in between) vibrates quite a bit when trucks barrel through the neighbourhood. The idiot with the ricemobile that parks in the lot out my window has a car alarm… And I’m sure you can figure the [...]

Post or Die! »

I’m joing dis NaBloPoMo thing, you see. Which means that during the month of November, I must post every day, or commit seppuku. And I suppose lazy-ass del.icio.us links don’t even count, eh. Well, this here is the post for November 1st. In which I give you a list of ten things that have already [...]

Maybe I’m old-fashioned »

I don’t think that the comment box is the place for conversations. Conversations belong in e-mail, on e-mail lists, or on forums. Maybe that’s just me. But the format just doesn’t really… work… properly. Bleh. I hardly ever check back to old posts to see if anyone has replied. How good do you think my [...]

I’ve been a nerd for a very long time »

Seeing so many (er, well… okay — just two) interweb anniversaries this week makes me wish I knew when the hell I first started doing all of this nonsense. I didn’t sign up for Blogger until February 2000, but I was posting weblog entries by hand sometime in the fall of 1999. I [...]

Angst + Shirking Responsibility = Art »

Wow! Doing taxes is so much fun! Mhm. And I’m so glad that Sean keeps such impeccable records for Cyanotic. I think I give up for this weekend. Gotta save some of this for later, because I just love it so so much! On the bright side, I only have to file taxes in [...]

Fair Warning »

Or it would be, if only Sean paid any attention to anything I post online. Next chance I get, the Beetlejuice ringtone on our phone is so being replaced by “Yakety Sax”. No one knows the joy that it brings to me. Maybe I’m just slightly tipsy. Imma gonna get offa [...]

Yay! I love utility companies! »

Peoples Energy, I shake my fist at you. $16.24 activation charge? For what? To change the information on the already existing, already working account? Don’t you think that if you are going to charge $16.24 for this service that you should make some effort to at least get that information right?
Who [...]

How to youse basic alchemy. »

It warms my heart to see so many people finding my website by searching for “Kevin Trudeau is an idiot” and “Kevin Trudeau is a dick” and “Kevin Trudeau the crackpot”. You fuckwits looking for information on getting nautical star tattoos, though. You can fuck right off. Here is some information: tu [...]

Hey, great! »

It finally came to me. The terrible, dreadful, awful, evil, nagging feeling I’ve been experiencing for at least the last year is impatience of a particularly anxiously irritating variety. If only this knowledge helped me in any way, whatsoever. And as far as I know, it will last indefinitely, because I haven’t [...]

Red means go! »

The next time someone honks at me for not turning right on a green light when there are pedestrians are crossing the street, I think I will put my car into reverse. Okay, I won’t. But seriously, do they want me to run those people over so that they can get to work [...]

If only it was this simple… »

I was watching the extras on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy DVD last night. Included is the second half of the Guide entry about Babel fish that describes how irreducible complexity proves that God doesn’t exist. The logic is just about on the level of that used by Intelligent Design morons. [...]

Hay everybody! »

I don’t think I even mentioned that I was going anywhere… but you might have noticed a conspicuous silence. I’ve been out on tour for the last 10 days or so with Cyanotic, acting as official scantily-clad groupie / merch bitch. I’m still on tour actually… last day (not counting one more [...]
