Nerd alert! My friend Vincent just pointed me to a story that could have been about me. Yes folks, I too suffer from N.A.D.D. And I am proud of it. In case you haven’t clicked away yet to some pr0n site, then you’re now probably wondering “what the f**** is N.A.D.D.?” Well, it stands for “Nerd Attention Deficiency Disorder“. To explain it I will have to quote parts from the excellent story that this guy wrote in his blog “Rands In Repose“. So that dude deserves all the credits. I am so sure that if I forward the article to […]

My Lai massacre ’68 Atrocities during wars are as old as war itself. But one would expect the army of the country that says it’s bringing ‘democracy’ and ‘civilization’ to the world, to behave in a civil way. Off course that is just wishful thinking. And where else than Iraq would the modern atrocities occur. One would expect that the US soldiers would have learned from the infamous My Lai massacre in 1968 during the Vietnam war, but now the US is faced with another scandal of this magnitude: a massacre (and a possible cover-up) at Haditha, Iraq in 2005.

I thinks this speaks for itself…. And for our non-metric readers:

Freedom vs Apple: 1-0 Last April I wrote about the case of Apple versus blogger Jason D. O’Grady. O’Grady posted a series of stories in October 2004 about an upcoming Apple product in development. Apple decided to sue him and demanded he revealed his sources. This prompted the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to step in, arguing that the anonymity of his sources are protected by the same laws that protect sources who leak information to journalists. In other words: Bloggers may not be journalists, but they are protected as journalists. Well, this Friday the California court ruled in favor of […]

Fetch! Ok, I guess you’re familiar with the CBS Late Night Show with David Letterman? Sometimes he has a segment in his show called: “Stupid Human & Pet Tricks” (I think it was called just “Stupid pet tricks” before, but I guess he thought it was degrading to the animals). Well, I have 2 cats here in my appartment, and one of them (see photo) is probably so bored out of his mind (they never get out) that he thinks he’s a dog. So what does he do? He grabs the tie-wrap of a plastic bag (metal) and runs around […]

666 Say you want to call the devil. What number do you dial? Yup, you guessed it right: 666-6666. And even the devil has to pay his telecom bills: some Arab guy payed $2,75 million to get the devil’s number. Oh, yeah: off course it’s a mobile number and you’ll have to dial +974 first because the owner lives in Qatar. Hmm… Oil & the devil they sure make a good combination.

Now here is a very interesting documentary for you: It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?

Well, I believe there are already alternatives to oil out there. Like […]

iDon’t Halleluja! Someone had the balls to stand up against the total conformity and iTatorship of the Apple iPod!. Don’t be a follower! Be a trendsetter! Yeah! I have four words for you: I LOVE THIS COMPANY… Yeah!!! Ahum. Seriously now. Although I feel a lot for the message that iDon’t.com sends out – basically: there is more than the iPod – it is off course not to be taken serious because SanDisk is behind it. That’s right: the company from the memory cards for your, uhm, MP3 player or camera. Allrighty. So they now enter the MP3 player market […]
