The Politics of Not Caring
Watched/heard the Canadian debate tonight. It was pretty entertaining, and I enjoy that our national debate sounded (at times) like a townhall meeting over zoning regulations where half the partipants are boozed up and tired of waiting for the microphone. But I missed most of it because I spent a great deal of time making turkey burgers and cutting myself (somehow) on a wine bottle.
Hello Kitty bandages are not waterproof.
I am amazed at the amount of "If 1,000,000 people join this group..." groups on Facebook. Has any decision in the history of this entire decade ever been decided by a Facebook group? 7,000,000,000 people could all join the same Facebook group outlawing the sale of leaky Tupperware containers, yet the practice would still continue. The only thing the internet has ever accomplished is pointing out Photoshop frauds and making us all really horny. Bless you Web 2.0. You are the car crash of voyeurism and exhibitionism that humans have been trying to perfect since Adam & Eve.
Also, thank you Internet. I am dumber and smarter at the same time. I know more about the German trucking regulations and Napoleon, but sentences and words are harder to put together in coherent order.
Content Management Systems make my head hurt.
A list of words that are disappearing from the Collins dictionary.
jQuery, gay bars, and the price of gas
I don't understand how gas is a buck fifty a litre, and people are still roaring down the highway at 130 km/h. Does wind resistance mean nothing to these people? I feel dumb enough driving a Honda Civic, but when I'm being passed by dump trucks, I think those people automatically forfeit the right to complain about the carbon tax.
Wouldn't "The Dandy Lion" be a good name for a gay bar?
I've just discovered how wonderfully awesome jQuery is. I still suck at web design, but now I can suck at it a whole lot more elaborately.
