Pic-a-chuuuuu!

Yes, we've all worried that this was the case, but now it has been proven. Those in charge have tried to cover it up, but it will always remain true that:

AYEE?

Sorry it's been a while since I posted, real life and stuff....

I'd just like to say, "Wankel Rotary Engine".

Thank you.

One of the minds behind Penny Arcade has recently been granted a child. Below is one of his musings on fatherhood:

He is an arresting creature, to be sure. As most of his movements are governed by animal reflexes and whatnot, he can't really be blamed for the lion's share of his activities. This being said, anytime a person pees in your mouth it is difficult not to see it as an insult.

All Around the Particle Accelerator...

Hell yeah!

Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

I'm taking my ball and going home!

Wow.

Hours after New Orleans officials announced Tuesday that they would deploy a city-owned, wireless Internet network in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, regional phone giant BellSouth Corp. withdrew an offer to donate one of its damaged buildings that would have housed new police headquarters, city officials said yesterday.

I always knew phone companies were some of the many ugly, red, sources of all evil in the world, but this temper tantrum is just wrong.

I always find it interesting how primal a company's reaction is to developments that might nip at their business model. And this is even MORE true when that company owns a monopoly. It would seem to me that in the long run, BellSouth would be better served by the public opinion AND the bottom line if instead of crying and taking their toy away so nobody else could play with it they would, oh I don't know, offer to implement the wi-fi for the city. It might not be their primary area of expertise (that would be gouging the customer for all they can), but they are a freaking communications company, it's not that far of a leap.

Oh well, enough ranting. I don't think this textbox would hold enough characters if I started getting into all of the other companies/organizations that do this...Microsoft, AT&T in it's day, the movie and music industry, etc...

I just ran spell checker on this and the dictionary did not have an entry for "BellSouth". First suggestion: "bullshit"

RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs

November 30, 2005 | Issue 41•48

LOS ANGELES—The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. "We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms.

This girl has no backbone...

I'm sorry, I was out the day they handed out spines.

OUCH
