Radio Silence

As my now one visitor may have noticed, I’m not updating with any fierce regularity.
Recently I’ve been preparing for my job on a documentary movie shoot. This will last about three weeks, during which time I probably won’t have time to stop and write.
I intend to be back, but not until then.
Ciao.

Things and stuff.

My political posts are getting a lot of traffic, which means I should probably get on here and rant about Palin some more.
But–
for the… four… regular visitors of this blog (hello everyone), I intended more than turning this into a platform for my unexperienced political voice. This is also a platform for my unexperienced internet [...]

CERN, the Large Hadron Collider, and my own personal hopes.

I’ve listened to a few crackpots talk about their theories on the LHC. My referral to them as crackpots should give you an idea of how seriously I take their opinion.
Anybody that thinks the world is going to end tomorrow is gullible, and should talk to me about advertising rates on this, the most popular [...]

Palin’s economic success: raising taxes.

As the shock wave that is Sarah Palin resonates across America, truth, hype, history, and bad are being sifted out. Supporters of Palin love her–she is a historic champion.

O’Reilly’s interview with Obama. A stunning lack of integrity.

I have had to adopt a mantra from time to time, when the hands of fate guide my television to Fox news. Bill O’Reilly is not a journalist. Bill O’Reilly is not a journalist. He comments on the news. His show is for entertainment purposes–it’s an unfunny Daily Show.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, journalists convey facts. [...]

I hope we can still be friends.

Jack Thompson is very well known in certain circles. Scream his name on any random street corner, and you may get somebody dropping change in your hat.
Whisper it at PAX, however, and a frothing howl begins to fill the room.
This man, for some time now, has been known for his causes and his hate. Back [...]

On the Palin scandal.

The most convincing argument I’ve seen for global warming goes as such:
We could be right or wrong. We could act or not. This gives us four outcomes.
1. We work to fix global warming, and we were wrong.
No real loss.
2. We work to fix global warming, and we were right.
Good choice. Go team.
3. We leave things [...]

Republican hypocrisy on Palin, and why I want to have John Stewart’s babies.

I’ve tried a few times to express my feelings on Palin. I keep getting angry, though, turning the post into an unfocused rant, and leaving it for later.
My annoyance at the issue has been through a bit of a journey. At first the choice seemed a blatant and sexist political ploy to appeal to women. [...]

I’m not asking for an explanation.

To somebody this is art.
To me, who hasn’t spent the time studying art, and isn’t entirely sure he wants to spend hours of reading art history and criticism so that he can truly and fully understand a banana mask, it’s beautifully weird.

Google’s new browser, Chrome, is in beta.

I check my e-mail with Google.

When I need to go somewhere, I use Google maps.
My search engine is Google.
I really don’t seen an end [...]
