Heroes are for comic books and corner delis.
- Seth Miller

According to Mark Cuban, the internet is dead and it’s only for old people. He thinks that multiple intranets provided by cable companies will take its place.
He’s right in that it would be a great breeding ground for high bandwidth applications like video and games but it loses the whole point of the internet. [...]

I’ve been throwing up every morning for the last three weeks or so. It’s pretty weird. I get up, walk around for a couple of minutes and then I have to vomit. It’s literally been every morning without fail. The whole rest of the day, I am perfectly fine. Strange.

I hate the procrastinating bitches who talk and talk forever about how they’re going to get rich, lose weight or whatever their deal is but I seldom see them doing anything about it.
Take this jack ass from this post. The fucking guy wants to build an e-commerce website and is asking help on whether [...]

Offended by the title? No? Sweet, read on then.
I don’t believe any words are intrinsically bad. Just about all of our expletives weren’t always profane. Words like shit, bitch, faggot, and ass were all fine at one time but people have turned these into taboo words only to be used by [...]

Iraq is still a shit hole. 54 people died today including 7 in Zafaraniyah, one of the areas where I spent a lot of time.
I really feel badly for the winner of the next American election. I can’t figure out a solution that will actually work out in the end. [...]

I’ve read and heard about Twitter for some time now. It’s basically just a micro blogging service that lets you make updates via IM or SMS messages.
Previously I thought it was pretty stupid and that really hasn’t changed much but I wanted a new toy to play with. I added a screen scraper [...]

They’ve been doing this a while but I still hate it. MySpace changes all links created to a URL pointing to msplinks.com. I can’t see how this is advantageous for MySpace and it really hurts savvy web surfers.
To prevent going to malicious links I like to hover over it first to [...]

A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don’t need it.

From a TechCrunch article
This weekend news came that a Gmail archive service called G-Archiver, which backs up all of your Gmail emails to your hard drive, was actually the front for a scam - hard coded into the application was a “feature” that sent every user’s email address and password to the creator’s own email [...]

I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
- Mahatma Gandhi

Experienced some more downtime over the past couple of days. Something seems to have gone wrong with my server which isn’t surprising since it’s fairly old. Fucked up thing is that I don’t have access to the data center where it’s hosted and the guy that I pay to host it is taking [...]

2008 has been pretty crazy so far. New York’s first black mayor was just sworn in who is also legally blind. Then of course the presidential race has a woman and black dude who are neck and neck for the democratic nominee.
There will never be equality but I think we’re coming close.

Working in IT is hard. I and many other IT workers are always in the market for a new job, looking for something better or leaping from a company that was just purchased.
Growing up all of my relatives including my father worked blue collar jobs that they kept for years without a thought of [...]

Not going to say much as I really can’t improve on this speech. Just watch.

I get a ton of traffic from sites linking to me thinking that I’m Seth Godin. Check out the following two URLs that link to me
http://www.livingstonbuzz.com/blog/2007/08/16/fake-caveman-brings-club-tells-all/
http://www.bootstrapbabes.com/bb_blog/2008/02/the-29-websites.html
There are a ton more too. I’ve been linked from really large sites as well like businessweek.com thinking I was the other Seth. It’s sad that so [...]

I don’t get the TV show CSI. It’s supposed to be a show about crime scene investigators although the characters are all acting like detectives trying to solve a crime when that’s clearly not their job.
Police departments are bureaucratic organizations made up of many homunculi each doing their part. Traffic cops don’t solve [...]

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
- Abraham Lincoln

OK, so that’s a bit extreme but I hate when during a debate the word unconstitutional is used to shoot something down. The American constitution is a great document that has lasted a long time but the writers knew that some of the words would not be future proof which is why we have [...]

I don’t really visit AOL or Yahoo on a regular basis but I was listening to No Agenda just a little while ago and John was talking about how AOL and Yahoo’s site look exactly alike. Of course I had to immediately check it out and it’s scary how alike they really are. [...]

Hippy nut jobs from Australia and England are cruising around looking for Japanese whalers and tossing a form of acid onto their ships. They claim they’ve been able to stop them for four and half weeks but I say big deal.
Throwing acid onto some whaling ship isn’t a long term solution and I think [...]

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
- Blaise Pascal

Just got my new headphones from Amazon today. I bought a pair for my birthday back in February but they sucked and had to return them. Thankfully Amazon is pretty cool with returns and refunded all the money and I picked up these.
These are the super.fi 5’s made by ultimate ears. Previously [...]
