Chicken burrito — blackbeans, rice, tomatoes and corn, cheese and lettuce. I pound one of these almost every day for lunch. Foolishly, I poked around for the nutrition facts today…

Ouch.

Web Worker Daily asks about good ways to use your laptop in the summer sun…
The answer, apparently — the Techno Privacy Scarf. But it’s not just for outdoor use, folks — if there’s a better way to surf porn in your cube, I’d love to hear it!

There’s an interesting tangled “incestuous” loop playing out in Ohio: apparently local municipalities are shelling out big bucks to state lobbyists for local kickbacks…
These lobbyists should be walking around with a sign around their necks that says: “Your tax dollars at work trying to raise your taxes.”

If you have any inclination to let the government regulate anything (including themselves — campaign finance reform), this post by Tim Lee is a must read!

Anyone who’s ever done design work professionally will get a kick out of this little flash vid: flags from around the world, with client comments and the requisite changes…
Yes, people really are that ridiculous!

I may not be an atheist myself, but this is a little disturbing. Silly bigots…

When you’re a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. I know a lot of hammers. I’m more a Swiss Army knife, capable of doing a wide range of jobs, flimsy and awkward; but those that know me would insist I’m a tool.

I guess I always thought I was too cool for piddly bullshit like Renaissance festivals, but after boozing and axe tossing last year, I have to say, I’m looking forward to it coming back. And with it just a few months away, who couldn’t use a good pair of crotchless pantaloons? That’s right, the Christian […]

This seems like a fine idea…
Frankly, I don’t give a shit if it’s organic, but I dig the local farm aspect of it all, and the surprise randomness aspect. I wonder if they have anything like that around DC?

I just realized this site was down and put in a support case to the host. Before I even got the automated confirmation email, Dreamhost support had patched up apache and had me online. Now that’s service!

I’ve never done grammer good, but particularly online, one thing that always gets under my skin is the plague of apostrophe overuse. This wikiHow on apostrophes is worth a read — it even covers those tough cases, like plural, possessive names:
Place an apostrophe after the “s” when you are indicating a singular […]

The AACS crack story, not itself substantively interesting, does have pretty fascinating societal undertones. The free speech flag, nothing more than a pure isomorphism of a big ass number, perfectly encodes the now famous encryption key into colors. Is this infringement? If so, how so? Can you even copyright a number; a fact?

For as long as I can remember, the houses — the materials — of suburbia have rubbed me the wrong way. I’ve never taken kindly to the concrete castles that keep popping up like weeds. I’ve just never understood why people are so hung up on size they forgo such things as natural materials and […]

Absolutely mesmorizing!

I’m shocked, utterly stunned to learn this:
Telephia’s Total Communications Survey for Q4 2006 shows that 49% of households moving during the fourth quarter of 2006 migrated away from a traditional telephone line with 25% choosing to go wireless only.
I haven’t had a landline in years (since backing into one in college when Verizon wouldn’t let […]

I just learned of the push for POSH over at Standardzilla — short for Plain Old Semantic HTML. Why the hell do we need another idiomatic acronym clogging web2.0’s tubes? I certainly agree microformats are the future, but why go with something that sounds even more ridiculous than AJAX? What we need are more entertaining […]
