Right wing way

Ahh, an excellent example of the thing about right wingers that pisses me off .They all seem to think that their way is the only way, their religion is the only religion, and everyone should bend and conform to suit what they want. Some ass emails this blogger who gives away content free, FREE, beacause he has to actually put an effort into getting the FREE stuff.
The effort is too read the opinion (or skip over) the opinion of the guy who gives him the FREE Stuff.
What is the matter with these people.

Helpful Hint for Cell Phone Users

Here is a handy hint to avoid pissing people off or hurting their feelings (Depending on the situation) . NEVER USE THE IGNORE FEATURE . Please axcuse the terrible all caps yealling . Just silence the ringer then the person calling will more likely think you dont have your phone handy or didnt hear it ring. If you hit the ignore button ,sending the caller directly to voicemail they know you looked at he screen saw their name and didnt want to talk to them. That sucks, Be Nice No one want to be snubbed.

Jonathan Coulton

After discovering ,as many have ,some thanks to me Jonathan Coulton's most excellent cover of Baby Got Back. I listened to some of his other music and liked it enough to pluck the feed and get a swell new song each week. You should do the same.

Windows Sucks

I am certain this is not breaking news to anyone but Windows sucks. It may be sort of my fault being I was messing with things Microsoft doesn't want you to ,but that doesn't make windows suck any less. I was going to use a different shell (Litestep) just for fun and it didn't work properly . This wouldn't be such a problem except I was working with nothing the shell didn't load at all and being I use WinME (why I do not know) and there is no option to go to command line at boot. I popped in a Knoppix Disk and edited the ini file so explorer would be the shell again but when I started windows up it is all 640x480 and no mouse at all . This is exactly the sort of thing I will never understand .I did nothing to anything that has anything to do with display or mouse . After slow and only sort of successful attempts at backing up my music ,photos etc. I began the search for a solution. Well I fought with this for a while reading numerous forum posts dug around the so called knowledge base and so on. Eventually I just went back to an older registry back up and everything was fine and then I experienced that which can only happen after computer frustration. Geek euphoria . I know, I didn't gain access to some secure database or break some new DRM but the feeling is similar on a lesser scale.
BTW Google is super.

Reincarnation

My dog Muni has been on the way out for a couple of weeks . He died the the other night . The next thing is to explain to my 3 year old .She had been pretty easy with the whole death thing having a pet rat and a couple of fish die. I was a bit afraid this one would be a little different. But she was completely cool about it and has given the best kid quote so far (if a little odd).When told that Muni had died she stated very a matter of factually "Well maybe he will come back as sunglasses."
I wonder what does one do in a previous existence to come back as sunglasses ?

Exactly what is wrong with everything

As I read a post on BoingBoing about the lawsuit The Internet Archive is involved in over the wayback machine. I fail to see and keep in mind this is the first thought that came to me as I read, how the pages stored there are any different than news papers on those wonderul microfisch at the library. If companies are allowed to have complete conteol over all advertising and information from there past with the ability to erase anything that might show them in a negative light whats to stop the them from rewriting history all together.

Volkswagen People

I own a VW New Beetle . I was hesitant to buy one even though I like them (aside from the motor being at the wrong end) as they border on being one of those cars guys just cant drive. I found one that was lowered riding on big wheels with really dark tint so that made it OK . Anyway , I have always owned Volkswagens , my first car was a Karmann Ghia and it just went on from there numerous beetles ,busses and so on. There always was a camaraderie amongst VW owners . We would wave at each other talk at gas stations sort of the same thing as motorcycle people do. The sad thing I have noticed lately is that this apparently isn't the case with new generation VW owners (Water Pumpers) .I wave at other beetle owners and seldom even get a nod . So sad, maybe they just bought their VW like thinking it was just an ordinary car. I think VW needs to screen potential buyers or something .
