• What’s your political persuasion?


    You Are a Liberal for Life


    You’ve got a bleeding heart – and you’re proud of it.
    For you, liberal means being compassionate, pro-government, and anti-business.
    You believe in equality for every person, and you consider yourself universally empathetic.
    Helping others is not just political for you … it’s very personal too.

    Well, I sure as hell ain’t conservative. But… liberal? That’s pushing it a little. It’s an American quiz, though, so I guess I should cut them a little slack. Although, I’m starting to develop a low opinion of politicians in general.

  • Gotta love microsoft’s priorities.

    It takes them forever to release a security update, or a fix so something like the MS blaster worm stops actually affecting people, but you go and break their DRM features, intentionally or otherwise, then watch what happens. And that, folks, is why I wish I could use linux. At least we know where their priorities are, though!

  • The linux of beer is upon us!

    Because open source isn’t restricted to *just* software, this probably shouldn’t surprise you. Anyone who’s ever used an application similar to… well, just about anything that runs on the linux operating system for one, a la wordpress, movable type, and all that, is very familiar with the concept of open source–use the software for what you want, change it if you so desire, extend it as you wish, but making those changes public is strongly encouraged. And now, ‘twould appear the rules of open source have left the software community, and entered the world of beer. I dunno, could be interesting. Hey, if any of the big US breweries start following that business model (ha, right) it might not be quite so uh… watered down. Could happen. And windows could be open source, too. Not.

  • I take it back.

    I’m glad I’m not insured… the payout would kill me. If my brother’s irresponsibility doesn’t. Okay, so his baking attempt resulted in blackened cookies. Why? ‘Tis extremely simple. He did what he’s good at, and didn’t bother paying attention. He’d rather sit on his rear downstairs instead. So uh, yeah. We won’t be sampling his cooking. Ever. *cringe*

  • But I’m not insured!

    My brother, my accident-prone brother, my brother who can’t even take his shoes off without needing stiches in the back of his head (it’s happened), is baking. And me without my life insurance. And me stuck minding his damn dog while he screws around in the kitchen potentially setting the place on fire. But I’m not crazy… I’m not… well, not yet… okay, maybe? Kinda? Fine, i’m a loon.

  • Blah.

    On the other hand, if I’m unresponsive for the next few days I’m taking that damn dog of my brother’s somewhere in the middle of nowhere to shoot him.

  • Can I have my hand back now?

    I love it when other people agree with me. Especially considering I used to actually be in college, so this was quite the uh, problem. Someone in my overly protective family, either my mom or someone who’d been badgered by my mom, would call almost every day, usually every second day… just in case, and all that. And these people like to talk on the phone. I mean an hour and a half kinda like to talk on the phone. Which, ordinarily I wouldn’t mind, but they’d usually pick a really crappy time to call. Like when I was getting ready for class, or had to go somewhere else, or, you know, was going to bed. Yes, I actually tried to get to sleep at a relatively decent hour when I was in college. It didn’t usually work, but I tried. And when they’d call, it was usually (not always, but more often than not) to ask the same 1500 questions they asked me the last time they called. And then to double check. And then they’d ask a half dozen times if I was sure of the answer. And it was usually things they know I do on a set schedule… like paying bills, or buying groceries, or whatever. You know, all the things I’ve pretty much been doing for ages. Yeah, my family has its awesome moments, but criminy… if they could just let go of my hand for 5 minutes it’d make doing things a lot easier…

  • Better than a kick in the head…

    … It’s a possible timeline. IE: the guy I gotta talk to about a job is thinking he’ll hopefully be able to call me back next week and schedule me in for an interview. So, it’s not a definite yes yet, but he’s still not told me to go right to hell. And so far, that’s the most response I’ve gotten out of any job application I’ve tossed out there. That part should probably frustrate me to no end, but… oddly enough, it doesn’t. Or maybe it’s just because I haven’t thought about it much. Either way, it works for me. Hopefully, there is an interview. And, hopefully, a job to follow.
    Sorry Edmonton, you might have lost me. Not that I can afford the relocation fees anyway. Coolness does not a plane ticket make.

    Who believes Microsoft is actually a spyware company. Who’d of thunk it?

  • Are you psychic?


    You Are 30% Psychic


    You are barely psychic.
    Sure, you sometimes predict things…
    But is it a matter of luck? Or something more?
    Pay closer attention to your first intuitions
    You may be more psychic than you know!

    Now, if we were talking psycho…
