You want to stop the RIAA and MPAA? It’s really this simple. Stop buying RIAA-produced music. Stop buying movie tickets to MPAA-produced movies. Stop supporting the content industry in general, who produces vapid mind-rotting “culture” and abuses artists and technical people alike. 10% of us doing this would do more to hurt the industry than [...]

When you think about it, it’s almost comical, because we’re not even aware we won. “But wait,” I hear you cry, “how can you say we won when Christmas is everywhere.. starting from Halloween until .. well, Christmas Day!” That’s exactly the point. Christmas has become a one-day holiday for the vast majority of Americans. [...]

I really want to be wrong with where I’m going with this entry. However, I fear that I am more correct than even I realize. Let me start by saying I in principal agree with most of the points that seem to be proffered by many of those protesting in our nation’s cities. I’m heartened [...]

Apple’s announcements yesterday? Color me unimpressed. And another thing. All the analysts that are calling the Kindle Fire “not an iPad killer” are totally missing the point. If the Kindle Fire does 80% of what an iPad can do and costs 40% of the price, it is an iPad killer. Just like Android hasn’t been [...]

I had this wonderful rant all queued up about how a major drug store chain has crossed the line into “creepy” with their updated rewards card program. And then I realized that I already predicted this would happen over 20 years ago, and how many privacy advocates are closing the barn door after the cows [...]
I just wanted to pop over here and write something brief about this, mostly to jog my own memory for later. I’ve been working on a series of articles for here about religion, atheism, spiritualism, and where my current beliefs sit on all of this. That’s all a bit complicated, but suffice to say I’m [...]

The old teeth gnashing about the prevalence of “good enough” technology is making the rounds again, for some reason. This is an issue that comes up from time to time in the tech world, and it’s always an interesting discussion. It’s no secret that I’m on the side of “Worse is (often) Better”. I’ve ranted [...]

So, I managed to obtain one of these carbonation machines. I’ll probably write more about it later, but in short.. this is really awesome. Soda anytime I want it…

I have only one question for people who feel WikiLeaks is doing a disservice and is “dangerous.” If “Democracy” is defined as a free and open society, by which every member of society has a voice, how can a “Democracy” have secrets it keeps from its citizenry? How can Truth ever be harmful to a [...]
