My New Phone: Nokia 5310 XpressMusic
I just got this phone today, and it’s pretty freaking awesome. I’m going to review it in full in about a week, but I wanted to let people know in the meantime that the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is awesome and cheap (with the 2-year contract from T-Mobile).
Anyway, it appears Nokia has finally listened to all [...]
StumbleUpon: Powerful Web Marketing For The Lazy
I do not quite grasp web marketing. I know how all the parts work, but I’m not meticulous enough to make it all work. I’ve got an SEO All in One Pack that seems to work pretty well.
However. Screw SEO (not really). I use StumbleUpon to direct my posts to these people:
Who then, [...]
Review: NextGEN Gallery, The Best Wordpress Gallery Plugin
Do NOT kill yourself while trying to find image management plugins that work. It took me 5 hours on Friday to find a plugin–or combination of plugins–that fulfilled what I thought were some simple requirements. I wanted to die. I wanted to kill others. I ate pandas. But I have come out of this experience [...]
Reverse Beard Styles: For the Internet! (FTW)
I have slowly, over the course of a few weeks, come to the conclusion that I must shave my beard. The problems with beards are not so severe that greater men haven’t been able to overcome them, however, I just hate not knowing if boogers are on my upper lip. Or peanut butter on my [...]
TED Talks: Electroshock Therapy
My brother just sent me an excellent video from TED.com, and it’s fantastic. It’s Sherwin Nuland’s talk entitled My history of electroshock therapy.
Very educational. Very interesting. It provides an excellent example of how something that might not be advisable for the entirety of the population can work out. Which, to my understanding, is two-fold:
Just because [...]
Sexism and Insults as They Pertain to Hillary Clinton
I need your help, guys. I am really really really confused about language. I found out at some point during Clinton’s campaign that it was unacceptably sexist to call a woman a bitch, which I accepted for a while. But then I got to thinking (yes, I’ve been reading). I call men bitches, don’t I? [...]

I’m Psychic and Finally Just Got Rickrolled
I had never been rickrolled. I was perusing the /., and I was opening stories of interest into background tabs, when I came upon a news item about a surgical robot. The following series of thoughts occured:
Mmmmm… robots…
Ha. “Surgical robots” sounds funny.
I bet people are posting funny videos of dancing robots and shit!
I am about [...]
Bonjour: Automated meddling in the lives of people you don’t know
About a month ago, I purchased a black Macbook, because my audio recording rig–in an Antec P180 case (all Antec cases are excellent, fwiw) and with a 19″ monitor–was way too big for my current living situation. Bonjour, Apple’s stupidly simple implementation of Zeroconf, lets me know when another Macfag is in range.
(as an aside, [...]
On the long-term side effects of crystal meth
So I’ve got this stalker, right? His name is David, and he’s a diminuitive homosexual college friend of my father’s, in his 50’s. When I was living in Mexico, he moved down to get away from the rat race, and several years later, took up smoking meth. A year or so after that, he started [...]
