Logorama, the movie

I watch a lot of movies. Tons in fact. So it takes a fair amount to impress me.

Logorama knocked my socks off. It's only 16 minutes and if you're reading this, you're obviously wasting time. Do yourself a favor and watch "Logorama". Y'all can thank me later.

Time to Launch That Cyberattack Kiddies!

Pop quiz: when's the best time to launch a cyberattack on the US of A? When the guv'ment runs an attack drill

Sorta like War of the Worlds or better yet Buckaroo Bonzai. Use the planned simulated attack as the cover for your very own real attack.

Of course if some *sshole does this the FBI/NSA swat team will be landing that black helicopter on my roof...

The Key to Sarah Pailin's Popularity

Now I get it. Pailin's popularity is proof that most people don't like those smarter than they are.

Intelligence intimidates.

Apple Pi

When I get stressed I often make an apple pi(e). I get the best results from mixing 3 or more varieties of apples together. Both cornstarch and flour as thickeners.

China Objects To Obama Meeting the Dalai Lama

His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be in the US in Feb and May. China has warned Obama about the consequences if he meets the Dalai Lama.

To quote Zhu Weiqun,  "We will take corresponding action to make relevant countries see their mistakes."

Nigga, please. Fuck you. What possible threat do you see in a 74 yr old monk? Probably the most beloved man on the planet. Mr. Love and Compassion himself.

Let me hazard a guess: acknowledging and embracing the Dalai Lama is tantamount to admitting your failures not only in Tibet but to your very core.

Cowards...

Dalai Lama Interview re: China

Oh great. Now Obama's pro nuclear.

We've been had. Barack likes nukes. Wants more. Thinks they're the answer to our energy problems.

Does the term "half life" mean anything to you? How about cancer? Security threat? Wrong solution to the energy problem on every level?

Let me state this again in no uncertain terms: I voted for him but only as my compromise candidate. Oh he's cute, oh he's eloquent but he ain't no progressive. He's nobody's revolutionary leader. That's why it's so funny when the Right calls him "socialist". I wish!

Words of Wisdom

I'll believe it when I can Google it.

Bruce Schneier on Gmail's back door & China hacking

Noted cryptographer Bruce Schneier talks about the backdoor Google built into Gmail that Chinese hackers recently exploited. If this is true, it means Google did a deal with the devil in order to enter the Chinese market.

No wonder Sergy was never comfortable with the deal. It's about fundamental principals of freedom and liberty not profits or stock price.

So GOOG is this true?

Hillary Clinton Speaking on Internet Freedom (& more!)

She speaks for an hour. Eloquently and forcefully at times. She doesn't talk down to us and proves once again, she's on our side.

Watch and listen to Hillary's speech today.

Are you ready to abandon Internet Explorer yet?

First Germany and now France. Why is it that Europeans are blowing the whistle on Internet Explorer's inherent insecurity and the rest of the world is asleep at the wheel? Let me repeat what's been said before: IE isn't secure. Microsoft has little incentive to make it so. There are better alternatives. You need to be using them.

China hacked Google piggybacking on IE's flaws. Don't get caught in the same trap.

You've been warned...
