TurboFool.com - Now with more awards!

September 25th, 2007 – 5:12 pm

I just read an article on Guardian Unlimited on how easily the author, as well as another more recent “software developer,” was able to win a “prestigious” award for his software… software which doesn’t actually exist.
I recommend you follow the link for the full details, but he merely submitted information about his software, DBXV, to […]

With internet like this, who needs TV?

When I stumble upon things like this on the internet, I can’t help but continually wonder why we have television shows like America’s Got Talent, which are simply littered with people who clearly have NO talent in comparison to people like this. These kids are amazing. Where’s the TV show that scours the ‘net […]

This was too clever not to post. The idea of having the full-resolution, full-detail version of anything on a portable device sounds so nice… until you actually have to use it.

Bad abbreviation!

September 21st, 2007 – 12:33 pm

There’s certain words that are commonly abbreviated in URLs to simplify matters. Images, in particular, have abbreviations for words like small (s, or sm), medium (m, or md, or med), large (l, or lg), thumbnail (th, or thumb, etc.), and other common attributes. One word in particular, though, is in desperate need of a change […]

YouTube in the creationists’ pockets?

September 21st, 2007 – 10:28 am

Apparently the followers of a group known as the “Creation Science [sic] Evangelism Ministries,” led by currently imprisoned tax evasionist Kent Hovind, have been sending false DMCA copyright takedown requests to YouTube on any and all videos that dare to suggest that creationism is anything but non-scientific garbage. Due to a loophole in the system, […]

Soldier sues over right to non-religion

September 19th, 2007 – 5:51 pm

Today I came across this article on newsday.com which talks about a soldier suing the military over their unfair treatment of his Atheist views.
According to the article, and the suit, this soldier tried to hold a meeting for fellow Atheists and other non-Christians, presumably as a way of garnering a similar level of support and […]

Masturbation
This is one of my favorite videos on Funny or Die. It’s simple, quick, and right to the point. Enjoy.

Spreading some joy in the midst of sadness

September 15th, 2007 – 9:47 pm

I’m not going to lie and say this video is brilliant. But it is fun, there’s some genuine talent here, and it holds meaning to me.
The guy on left was Mike Nolasco. He was a member of the local Geek Squad and someone I considered a friend, although I hadn’t gotten to know him as […]

I’m still getting the hang of this blog, so for now I have no better option than to link to the video I’m referencing in this post since it’s an autoplaying MOV file and not the typical FLV, but trust me, it’s worth watching.
The song this man, who I was previously unfamiliar with, plays on […]
