this is a strange feeling. i have officially been too busy to blog. i've got a lot going on, lots of interesting things coming up and works in progress, but none of it is quite congealed enough to be blogging about at this moment in time.it's a good feeling, being so busy...

i'm doin it wrong.

my eee officially has more RAM than my main box does.lol.

crack smokers do not have a complete monopoly on being stupid.

Posted on January 22, 2009
this blog has a clearly crack-related focus. this makes a few stupid people who use drugs other than crack feel a little left out sometimes, and inspires them to do things that are so stupid that i will write about them anyway, despite the fact that there is no crack involved...

an open letter to bank robbers

Posted on January 22, 2009
dear bank robbers,one of the most important steps to planning a successful bank robbery is the getaway. after you rob a bank, you need to get away from that bank as quickly as possible. of course, you can't overdo that. your getaway driver, be it yourself or somebody else, has to drive the getaway car fast enough so that you're far from the premises by the time the police arrive, but not so recklessly that you get pulled over for a moving violation before you hide the loot...

i saw this ad on the new york times website today:really? i can click on this cheaply slapped-together ad and read ann coulter columns? for free?if i really wanted to read her colums as they came out, don't you think i'd have already signed up for an rss feed by now? seriously...

"iron flower" by k's choice has been one of my favourite songs for over ten years now, since i first heard it. i love sarah bettens' harmony line, and i can't listen to this song without singing along to it.it makes me so sad that there's no karaoke track to it, because i would love to be able to find a vocals-less track to it, find someone else who knows gert's part, and sing it that way, if only just once.

the author apologises for the crack-related contradiction.

this blog on friday: "in fact, there is one and only one arena in which a crackhead will never disappoint you: you can depend on a crackhead to smoke crack."this blog on monday: "I just ate some crack. I'm really high."i screwed up big time.i should have said that you can only depend on a crackhead to use crack, ingest crack, or somehow introduce crack into his body...

there won't be change overnight. i know that. all i expect to see are gradual steps in a better direction than we've been going.however...the fact that my optimism is very heavily guarded does not stop me from being extremely happy that our president is now Barack Obama and not George W...

connecting to wpa from my debian box [my eee] was a pain in the ass, and involved lots of messing around with configuration files. so, i decided to write a script this weekend to automate the process and make connecting to wpa-encrypted networks as analogous as possible to connecting to open or wep-encrypted networks using iwconfig, since that's what i'm used to doing...

News Crack Smokers Can Use: January 19, 2009

Posted on January 19, 2009
another week has passed, which means i have again scoured the depths of the interwebstubes. as usual, those seedy depths contain plenty of Don't Be This Guy stories involving crack smokers. if you're not a crackhead, take pleasure in the fact that you're not as stupid as these people...

dear person who found this little corner of the internet by searching the terms being disappointed by a crackhead,i'm not quite sure what kind of infrormation you were trying to find here. if you've been disappointed by a crackhead recently, i'm sorry...

COLD.

Posted on January 15, 2009
my eyes were freezing shut. my scarf was freezing to my face. my toes froze to the point that it took about twenty minutes inside for them to stop hurting. the el trains were all running really late.i'm a cold-weather person, but there are limits. i'd be perfectly happy if it never got any colder than 10 degrees or so...

dear office heater,stop turning into an air conditioner. you did it tuesday, and now you're doing it again today. when it's sub-zero outside, the last thing i want to be doing is freezing my ass off inside of my office because you feel like blowing cold air in here instead...

gingerbread man

Posted on January 14, 2009
i grabbed a gingerbread man at a holiday party in my office building about a month ago. i don't particularly like to eat gingerbread men, but this one was so irresistibly cute that i needed to pick him up and take him back to my office with me.i can't bring myself to throw him away...

dear penis pill spammers:i know that there are a million different penis pill spams that are clogging the interwebstubes right now. it's easy for yours to get lost in the shuffle, and you need to come up with a snappy subject headline to entice gullible folks to order penis enlargement pills from your email and not someone else's...

bailouts!

Posted on January 13, 2009
the bailout game, with its "ask a greenspan" feature, is far more amusing than it has any right to be....and, i took great pleasure in letting both AIG and the auto industry fail, and still winning the game.

i left my computer charger at home. i left my pass to get into my office building at home. i slipped in the ice about five times on the way to the office. i paper-cut my thumb on a piece of card stock. my internet at work is not working reliably.today already sucks.

Posted on January 12, 2009
until people all stop smoking crack, or human evolution has reached a point that the brain has become immune to the effects of crack cocaine, there will always be crack smokers doing foolish things. none of this has happened in the last week, so i yet again have scoured the seedy depths of the interwebstubes in order to bring you the stupidest things people have done in the name of crack...

i did this once a long time ago, but i haven't done it recently. shaph and jabberwockeyes did it recently, so i decided i'd pull it out again. i remember Chester Bennington was #1 on my last one, so it's no surprise to see him again. still, i apparently look like Old Eastern European Politician Guys, given that my top two are the ex-president of Georgia and the ex-president of the Soviet Union, and i've also got Vytautas Landsbergis, an ex-Chairman-of-the-Parliament of Lithuania...

an open letter to milt patterson

Posted on January 09, 2009
dear milt patterson,i just read that governor blagojevich was impeached, and i just read that you were the only person to vote against it. that's your prerogative...there are always going to be people who don't support impeachment, and that's why these things are put up to votes in the state house, instead of just starting a senate trial when public opinion sways against the governor...

i love my googlers.
