User Generated Content Usually Sucks
Jan 8th
This goes to show how worthless digg.com comments can be. Nearly every comment is dugg down. C’mon, are these the kinds of comments that people feel they should take the time to type and submit. Do they think other people will get joy from reading them?
Read this comments on this inane, embarassing mess. Folks, this is proof that user generated content is not necessarily anything more than just volume. So is this, by the way.
Sites like Slashdot and OSNews are mostly valuable because their users contribute so much quality in the comments. Slashdot has been better since I moved my threshold to +3. OSNews is pretty good at 0. But most sites that make it too easy to participate are complete crap.
Awesome YouTube Video

This one deserves a post of its own. My sister sent me this link this morning, and I’m totally digging it. If you’ve never followed any link or watched any video I’ve posted before, do yourself a favor and at least check this one out:

Goodbye, Firefox. Hello Flock.
Nov 30th
Well, I’ve made the jump from Firefox to Flock. I’ve complained about Firefox for long enough, and a few days testing has shown that Flock will serve my needs just fine. I have a few observations though, so keep reading for the details.

Wii! Wii! Wii!
Nov 24th
I am looking forward to getting a Wii. Although I’ve owned a few game systems in the last few years, I’ve only somehow “come across” them, I’ve never bought one new. So really, the last home video game system I was really into was Super Nintendo, and truly, the last and best game system was NES. I still have and use my NES to this day.
I will be excited when I get my Wii, but most definitely not THIS excited:
But you have gotta admit, it is nice to remember how much something like this could make your day when you were younger.

Claygate
Yikes. This is where we’re gotten as a society. Rosie O’Donnell, who I didn’t mind that much until today, has declared Kelly Ripa – who was, I thought – a friend of the gay community, a “homophobe” because she told Clay Aiken, when he put his hand over her mouth on the air to shut her up and she said “That’s a no-no. I don’t know where that hand has been.” Okay, run-on sentence aside, this is cuh-razy. So, remember kids, if you’re a professional interviewer and you’re interviewing someone live on TV and some lame ass guest host slaps his stupid dirty hand on your piehole, embarassing you and touching your face in one dirty concoction, if you make a seemingly innocuous, possibly but not definitely snarky comment, you’re a gay-hater.
Rosie O’Donnell is a very outspoken voice for the gay community. To accuse someone of bigotry who (a) has no history of it, and (b) makes a VERY cloudily interpreted comment, and (c) is making this comment to someone WHO ISN’T EVEN GAY (admittedly, at least… and I’d add YET to that), she ought to be ashamed of herself. Rosie really ought to apologize.
By the way, ho-ly crap. Pictures of animals … in the womb.
I mean… seriously… check out the picture of the elephant. If this isn’t amazing, I don’t know what is.

Nuff said.
Okay, that’s all for now. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Hey’s gay… er, blind
How you confuse these terms is beyond me. Someone, I’m sure, had some ’splainin to do when the red light went off. And I’m betting a pissed off mountain climber, who may or may not be blind and/or gay was waiting for it. Via Google Video.
Ah…bananas.
Proof that there is a God. The funny thing is, every single species of monkey and ape eat bananas the other way. It appears we eat them “upside down,” despite “God’s pull-tab.” Via Google Video.
Black Macbook
The first and only “I’m a Mac” spoofs that was actually funny. Via YouTube.
Faith Hill is a Sore Loser
This has got to be a joke. Look closely, it’s quick. Vai break.com
Yikes.
This is actually called “The Man With Exploding Arms.” That alone is scary, but when you see his freakish arms, you’ll probably have to choke back your own vomit.
