Just a short silly video I made with Henry today.

And it’s also posted on my Facebook pages (I know, I know, don’t get me started on all that crap) and on MetaCafe. Go there now and watch it again and vote for it like it’s the […]

This week is a week that lies at the end of summer, between camp and before school. That means while Karen works I am at home with Henry.

Don’t get me wrong, I love quality time with my son. But that means less time with you. Too bad, so sad, get over it. […]

Yep - AT&T Sucks Balls.
I posted that in a comment over at Gizmodo.
It’s true.

AT&T sucks balls. Their own balls. They suck. They are sore losers. They are threatening to go after iPhone users who hack their phones so they don’t have to do business with greedy arse fucktard fascist lame bitch pussy […]

Queen.
Bohemian Rhapsody.
“Wayne’s World” had nothing on my juvenile past. “Dazed and Confused” came close. Queen - Aerosmith - frankly, I was more of an Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Moody Blues - Pink Floyd - Zappa tall, gangly, scrawny artsy fucktard.
It was the raggedy ass end of what used to be the ’60’s […]

Or as Homer would say: “Ooooo-oooo-oooo-oohhh!”
Gizmodo reports on this marvel of modern technology.
Forget the Dick Tracy wrist-radio phones, the Buck Rogers decoder ring, or even the levitating skateboards from Back To The Future II.
Fuck that shit.
This is the future.
And the future looks good to me.
Cheers.

I honestly can’t remember if I’ve already posted this video on these pages and I’m in too much of a rush today to wade back through the heap of poo I’ve left in my wake to check and be sure. No matter; it’s worth seeing again. I’ve been writing my ass off today […]

I keep seeing videos posted about robots that can climb stairs or drive cars or flush toilets or cut grass or screw gorgeous babes or cram Karl Rove’s big fat lumpy head up Dick Cheney’s tight paranoid puckered arse (in my dreams, that’s why I don’t sleep well) or play the Goldberg Variations while mixing […]

I’ve spoken, in an earlier post about the 2006 Singularity Summit, organized by the Singuarity Instiutute for Artificial Intelligence, where a Canadian writer named Cory Doctorow spoke. He’s a clever Hugo award winning guy who taught at Stanford and co-edits BoingBoing and just generally does all sorts of prolific and brilliant things that always […]

This just in from the Shameless Self-Promotion Department:

I had a shop set up with SpreadShirt.com but didn’t realize the dang thing hadn’t been properly activated. I am such a doofus.
Anyway, it’s now up and running properly and it works. There’s a number of different shirt designs and a baseball cap which I just […]

Forget what I said about not posting for a while - and I don’t know why I’m doing this, it’s not liek anybody reads this shit - but here goes anyway:
As reported in the Washington Post:

Tomorrow, a three-judge panel will hear arguments on whether the case, which may provide the clearest indication yet of how […]

I have a lot of crap to do this week so I won’t be posting anything else until Friday.
Famous last words, I know. Seems everytime I say that I end up pouring out an endless stream of caustic inflammatory rants against “The Man” or whatever the hell else is pissing me off.
But, seriously, I’m […]

Told you so.

Gizmodo reports the iPhone can be unlocked 100% with a Turbo SIM card.

Testers say it will give you full calling, SMS and GPRS data capabilities with any network and no extra hardware needed, since it only requires you to modify the $80 blank SIM using your own iPhone.

Once again, and a little deeper, […]

I don’t know about you but this makes all the hard work of programmers and computer hardware geeks over the past 60 years worthwhile.
Finally … this is what we’ve been waiting for.

Cheers.

There’s a great interview with William Gibson on the Observer/Guardian site.
Gibson’s out promoting his new book Spook Country and he has a lot to say about how SF as reality is catching up to our imaginings of the future and ourselves.
I’m esepcially fond of this exchange:
I’m reminded of something Gibson once said: ‘I didn’t imagine […]

This one is for my friend Mark.

It’s a poster of Marlon Brando as Don Corleone in the Coppola film The Godfather. A company called L.A. Pop Art has created a series of these posters featuring classic images from classic films crafted entirely from the words of the film script itself.
Los Angeles Pop Art involves […]
