Start your copiers indeed…

December 30th, 2007

Ok, Apple, I am officially tired of your latest rip-off from Vista… a kernel panic every fscking day in my video driver.

Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0×14e03ac8
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelGMAX3100(5.1.8)@0×7af000->0×867fff
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.5)@0×7a1000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.4)@0×60d000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.5)@0×621000

I simply cannot count how many times this “advanced OS” has crashed on a friggin’ video driver.

It’s not like you have to support hundreds of drivers… just fix the ones on your OWN SHIPPING HARDWARE.

Viral Video FTW

December 19th, 2007

I have to give Burger King props… they know how to pitch a viral video.

Check out Whopper Freakout.

The truth is that this video has every single perfect element for viral marketing. It is clever, it is raw, and it is true. Well done, huge corporate enterprise’s marketing company!

I heart teh interwebs.

As so begins the second Ron Paul moneybomb.  I gave $200 I really don’t have, but I think that I really need to do my part.

Let’s show the MSM what freedom is.

I hate Wordpress

December 10th, 2007

Apparently the people at Wordpress are smarter than me. I can’t post HTML without them deciding whether or not it is appropriate. So to get around this bull, here is my latest post as a raw HTML file.

I don’t know how to get in touch with the wordpress developers, but I’d love to give them a gentle reminder that life does exist outside of their artificially constrained walled garden.

Hi Everybody!  I’m selling pretty much all of my DVDs.  Part of the whole Zen un-cluttering phase I’m going through.  I’ve started listing them on Amazon.com, but if you’d like to buy them directly from me, just drop me a line!

Here is my Amazon.com store.

’tis the season to increase your consumer debt!
