The US gets a DNKL, of sorts. Because the DNCL works so well.
somebody in the US apparently has a sense of humour. In direct response to a published national kill list, an online do not kill list has been set up. The American public can register to, in theory, avoid being killed by drone strikes. By the american public, I’m going to … Read the rest

Give me Guinness souvenirs or give me death!
I’ve mocked some pretty off the wall stuff on this thing over the years. Probably more than my fair share. But this, right here, I think takes the cake. A 26-year-old guinness fan decided it wouldn’t be enough to just wait for the warehouse in St. John’s to open, and … Read the rest

Conservatives don’t actually get the tech they’re regulating. But you knew this already, right?
I’ll be the first to say there’s a few things the conservatives have done that I openly agree with–immigration reform, anyone? But there’s an equal number, at least, that make me wanna scratch my head. Or beat someone else’s. The copyright bill up here has pretty much already been dealt … Read the rest

Old folks say the darnedest things.
So I’m sitting at Macdonalds having supper with May last week–of course, this would be before I start doing this regularly again, and this nice enough couple of old folks come in and grab the table next to us. Now, ordinarily I don’t really take much notice when old folks … Read the rest

What’s in a name, anyway?
Tyler Gold didn’t just want to be known as Tyler Gold. It doesn’t do much for name recognission, you know. And being a business man involved in a not really disclosed line of business (Kinda makes you wonder, eh?), name recognission is key. Right? Sure. We’ll run with that. A … Read the rest

Brian Coldin strikes out: we still don’t wanna see what ya got.
Remember this guy? Sure you do. Naked folk resort, central Ontario, thought it’d be fun to go grab a burger but didn’t really wanna grab clothes first? Yeah, him. He thought it might be fun to take a run at the constitution with his court case, having the laws … Read the rest

Why does the TSA do this to themselves? Anyone know?
I really meant to do *this* forever ago. But really, it practically mocks itself. The TSA’s good catches of 2011–every single one of them being things that would have been caught and taken away pre-9/11. Well, everything dangerous, anyway. They didn’t start getting quite that paranoid until recently. Just … Read the rest

In which I breathe a sigh of relief and thank christ I don’t have to deal with US immigration.
If ever I have a reason to deal with US immigration in future, can somebody please very politely slap me upside the head with something blunt and heavy? Thanks. They don’t seem to be in possession of a degree of inteligence lately. A 14-year-old girl ran away from home and … Read the rest

Knighthood ain’t what it used to be.
Apparently all it takes to become a knight these days is being partly responsible for Apple’s mamoth crushing of just about anything that competes with it–whether it’s deserved or not. The guy who was behind the original design of the original iPhone, iPod and iPad has officially been knighted. … Read the rest

An offer of a second paycheck, brought to you by a guy who can’t spell.
Spend 5 minutes surfing this blog. Guaranteed, you’ll find at least one entry in which I’m screaming about the economy, or kicking someone in the teeth for dangling a job in front of me and then running like hell the other way with it. I might be a little tiny … Read the rest
