“A man who beheaded a fellow bus passenger in Canada in 2008 has spoken out for the first time, saying he believed he was killing an alien.”
Crapper Apps
From the true development effort to the uncanny valley. The best write up of why for many apps using HTML5 in an app-wrapper just won’t cut it. You buy cheap, you buy twice. Thank goodness someone else wrote this and saved me the bother.
Arguments are to be avoided: they are always vulgar and often convincing.
A friend of theirs once took Christopher Hitchens and his wife Carol Blue to dinner at Palm Beach’s Everglades Club, notorious for its exclusion of Jews.
“You will behave, won’t you?” Carol anxiously asked Christopher on the way into the club. No dice. When the headwaiter approached, Christopher demanded: “Do you have a kosher menu?”
Christopher was never a man to back away from a confrontation on behalf of what he considered basic decency. Yet it would be wrong to remember only the confrontational side. Christopher was also a man of exquisite sensitivity and courtesy, dispensed without regard to age or station.

"If hell has Christopher in it, then I’d like to reserve my place there now."
One great man eulogizes another great man.
Actor and author Stephen Fry salutes Christopher Hitchens as an inspiring polemicist but also as an abiding fan of P. G. Wodehouse and a magnificent writer.
Just heard of the passing of Christopher Hitchens’ death. The rational world loses a voice both inspirational and entertaining.
I just listened to a perfectly reasonable and well presented perspective on NPR. Unfortunately it was undermined due to the presenter’s unfortunate name: Dick Meister. I’m guessing that happens a lot.
Stop Censorship
Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.

Someone’s eating tuna on the shuttle. Twisted, filthy, disgusting, bastards.
SFO-dor
As I sit here, waiting on the tarmac for my flight to take off, I can smell nothing but the stench on the shoeless businessman’s feet that are stretched out merely inches from my Cathay coffin. Truly, hell is other people.
Stocks & Stones
Last night I decided to do a little gambling. For the first time I’m trying to play around with the stock market. It’s kinda fun actually. It’s just gambling really, but instead of betting on sports it’s gambling on something I know a little bit about. Having said that, at the end of my first day I’m down nearly 1%, and that’s not including the commission. Hmm… we’ll see how it goes. Fun though! It’s almost like I’m an adult!
What is this? WHAT IS THIS?!
