Not sure if ironic or…
Anyone else having trouble with Adobe Flash crashing in Chrome every few minutes? And yes, you Apple folks can feel a little superior right now.

I’ll answer my own question with a definite “maybe” (and a Fry fistful of American dollars). Protonmail’s Indiegogo funding has been remarkably successful so far, easily surpassing the base goal of $100,000. With five days remaining, there is a real chance they could hit all of the “bonus” funding benchmarks and wind up with a formidable […]
It would be fair to say that my values are not typical of those expressed in my town’s newspaper. If one were to judge Cincinnati, Ohio strictly on the editorial content of the Cincinnati Enquirer, one might conclude that Cincinnati that the baseball team isn’t the only thing that’s red about this town. The paper […]
Skud wrote a marvelous “alternate universe” version of Google’s announcement of the end to their odious “real names” policy. It’s hard to find an ideal quote to pull from it because it’s all good, but let’s go with this one: We apologise unreservedly to those people, who through our actions were marginalised, denied access to services, and […]

Here’s a song that brightened up my day:
Google+ finally saw that light and disposed of their policy requiring users to use their real names on their social network. I’ve written about my experience with G+ and their names policy ad nauseum, but I’ll recap briefly for new readers: I joined Google+ while it was still an invite-only product. There was a strict real-names […]
You ever write something, post it, and then go back and think “Geez, that’s a really crummy post?” Today, let’s follow it up with something even more unthinkable: What I Admire About The Tea Party – by WTF Pancakes The Tea Party are all about responsive politics. If Republican candidates don’t act on Tea Party […]
I have a stack of notes on the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision, but I’m not in the right headspace to dig in to that subject right now. Instead, I’d like to share some thoughts from my morning commute today: First and foremost, I’m a roll-out-of-bed-and-get-on-the-train kind of guy. I altered my routine a little […]
