Everyone gets a hug after completing the parking portion of the contest.
Found this today when coming out from the Ingles. For those that can’t tell, it’s a dually crew cab parked at a 30 degree angle in a handicap parking spot.
I’m posting this simply because we’ve got to spread awareness for those poor souls whose handicap involves mental retardation. Say it with me folks, “Larger handicap spots for the retards!”
Park, Forrest, park!
One of the benefits to writing about obscure topics is that you receive some obscure traffic.
To explain, I present exhibit A:
What is this?
This is a search phrase entered into a search engine that pointed them to my site. Someone found my site by trying to find out more about snorting Sudaphed.
Two things.
Some may think that I have it in for Microsoft. Not true. I use many of their products and I’m not trying to spearhead a lynchmob.
It’s just that they make it so easy, sometimes.
Take the latest news involving the Zune. It’s likely that a future software update will install a copyright protection scheme that will block any unapproved media from being uploaded to it. This means that Microsoft will determine whether you purchased it via approved channels.
That dvd you ripped at your house? That’s almost guaranteed to be an “unapproved channel”.
The only thing that keeps me from being incensed is that we all get to choose which player we will use and if you get screwed by Microsoft, it’s because you wanted to.
Information Week compared seven linux distributions and wonders above all other wonders, Ubuntu came out on top.
In true media-comparison form, they make sure to tell you that they like them all and nobody really wins or loses. It’s kind of like when your mom used to tell you that she loved you as much as your brother, just differently.
What, your mother didn’t tell you that?
Clementina Marie Giovannetti owns a McMansion that she would rather no longer be an owner of. Unfortunately, the market is quite what you would call a seller’s market. In fact, one could go so far as to say that this is the worst time to sell a house in the last 30 years.
What to do? Give it away. While she’s doing that, she’s going to make a buttload of cash. If by some incredibly poor stroke of luck, she doesn’t make said buttload, she will keep the money and the house.
How’s that work?

I’m glad that this came along when it did. I was really overdoing Mr. Moran.
You all know how I feel about Disney, right? For those of you that don’t, just ask this guy.
You’ll have to speak up.
I love 419 scams. Unfortunately, the people that send them rarely do any more than change the names of the people giving me lots of money, so it eventually grows tiring of poking some fun at them. It’s been so long though that I was able to enjoy authoring a response.

During one of my light reading sessions in the bathroom yesterday(what, I know I’m not the only one.), I was reading this month’s WIRED magazine. During my reading, I actively try to ignore the ads in the page, just to spite the company that so shamelessly packs more ads than content into their magazine, but one ad slipped by. It was for the Microsoft Zune.
You’ll probably remember Sony/BMG’s recent antics. They’ve been busted on installing malware, rootkits and more all in attempts to keep their customers from making backups of the music they purchased. They knew that there are thieving bastages out there that will take something that is not theirs and use it, all the while refusing to compensate the company that provided it.
Well, hi there pot! it’s me, kettle!
That’s right folks. Sony/BMG got busted for installing pirated software on their servers. The same company that installed rootkits on user’s computers, not to stop pirating, but to stop legitimate copying of owned music are a bunch of thieves themselves.
I guess it takes one to know one.
