Radio’s Regulatory Roadblocks – How the FCC slows new wireless technologies
Fear not, solutions are discussed as well. A very solid article that escapes harsh criticism and presents the facts in an easily digestible form.

Net Neutrality Follow Up

28, Sep 2009

I have to wonder what causes me to reenter the fray. A few persons were confused by my talking points, a few said my technical understanding of the problem was misguided and almost all of you managed to convey these ideas in a condescending way. I suppose I can’t blame you too much, but it’s [...]

Net Neutrality is the FCC beginning to censor the internet. You just don’t know it.

26, Sep 2009

It’s a straw man. It’s a nonissue that is a gateway to Google.cn being your homepage. And why not? Google wanted to do business in China so they helped censor the internet. Do you think your ISP needs to go to the trouble?

Student creates renewable energy from hair; Scalping crime rate increases 300%.

Original Story
What do geriatric ears, shower drains and solar panels have in common?  Hair. Perhaps not before, but they do now, thanks to Nepalese teen, Malin Karki.  While most of us spent/spend our teen years  picking our faces or reading hentai, this lovely kid was figuring out a way to create and harness renewable energy.
While [...]

Routine Traffic Stop – Pt. 1

23, Sep 2009

Josh is right.
Routine traffic stops are unpleasant.
Routine Mexican traffic stops are quite unpleasant.
One night I was driving home in rural Mexico, I got pulled over. It was about 10:30 at night and I was driving up into the foothills of the cerro where I lived. The road was a terrible flat but very rocky “road”. [...]

The Nation keeps tabs on the nation’s religious extremism

22, Sep 2009

Let me speak directly to every human on Earth who is ‘in touch’ with god’s will: You insignificant maggot, you don’t have the cognitive ability to comprehend One One-Trillionth of one percent of a divine plan or wisdom. Don’t pretend to even be cognizant of it at work or that it exists in a form you would ever be able to possibly understand. You are HUMAN. You are an ANIMAL with the RIGHT TO DREAM but that does not make it FACTUAL.

Why I hate Ben Franklin

22, Sep 2009

Only half-thinking I toss the now crumpled Franklin into the depleted non-stick pot. On the down-step of my third step I felt the soft crisp of a thrown $100 bill behind my left ear.

What the Hell is wrong with the police these days?
Years ago, and by years I mean the 80’s and 90’s, you hardly ever heard about someone getting tasered or beaten by police for such mundane things as sitting on their porch (Video) or simply questioning why they were being harassed (Video [...]

Louis C.K. On: Being White (nsfw)

21, Sep 2009

Caught this last night through random Youtubing and thought I’d share it with the world. There’s some F-bombs in there, so keep it down if you’re listening at work.
For what it’s worth, Louis C.K. is quickly becoming one of my favorite all-time comedians right behind George Carlin. It seems like every act he [...]

Alan Wake or: The Quest for a Release Date.

20, Sep 2009

This blog post is dedicated to the masses who have waited in vain for a game title so elusive, it’s starting to become this decade’s answer to Duke Nukem Forever. (And don’t give me, “Wasn’t DNF this decade’s answer to DNF?” Because, well, you’ll have to figure that shit out on your own…)
Anyhow, [...]
