Google’s New Motto

Do No Evil (unless we can make lots of money doing evil). Cur­rently, the zeit­geist in com­puter mak­ers is that they, not those of us that buy the damn things, own the com­puter. It comes loaded with crap designed to either steer you down a direc­tion you don’t need (Hello AOL!) or designed to be …

Talent

A lit­tle his­tory: for most of 2006, my com­pany paid me a ton of money to basi­cally attend meet­ings. In this time, I have reached the end of the inter­net and I’ve made some obser­va­tions. The con­tent on the inter­net is basi­cally nor­mally dis­trib­uted in terms of the use­ful­ness and tal­ent of said con­tent, except­ing …

Reddit and Mob Rule

This really deserves a longer, well-thought out piece but I have to com­ment on some­thing I’ve noticed lately.  I real­lly like Red­dit, a site where peo­ple sub­mit things from the web that are then voted on by the members.  It was cre­ated by a cou­ple of pro­gram­mer geeks so the range of arti­cles is typ­i­cally …

Random Search Engine Stuff

Appar­ently I am num­ber 7 on Google when some­one searches for “mercy flush” and numero uno when some­one searches for “perky cox”. I’m sure that means some­thing but I don’t know what it is.

Fear and Loathing in Bluegrass Music

You may think you’ve seen fright­en­ing things on the Inter­net, you may even think your­self immune to the ter­ri­fy­ing things found on the web. But noth­ing, nay noth­ing, has pre­pared you for what quite pos­si­bly could be the most degrad­ing thing I’ve ever seen on the Internet. Trust me, it’s com­pletely safe but your san­ity isn’t.
