Dell Battery Warranty

Lame! Tonight my laptop battery light started flashing yellow and orange, the dreaded ‘dead battery’ light. For the last couple months the charge has been slowly getting worse. I took, a peek at when I bought this battery. Jan 29, 2009. Today’s date? Jan 30, 2010. Warranty duration? 1 year! One day over. Surely no [...]

Meat Market Info

I’m nowhere near the meat market, but if I was, this would be very interesting information.

360 video

OMFG @ the tech! And yes, the tech itself is basic as fuck, but omgomg. Linky here
Update: I removed the embed, it had audio. Stupid people… audio does NOT belong online.

pOpulist

Obama has the perfect opportunity to go HARD POPULIST and make everyone fall in love with him again. Here’s what we have:
1. Optically ridiculous behavior by the banking industry (lavish bonuses, etc, all on the government dime).
2. Health insurance companies kicking people out to die in the street.
3. Supreme court decision that will effectively eliminate [...]

Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

Please please please let them do this. It would be, like, actually fixing somthing! The horrors!!!! Of course we know that it won’t be allowed to happen if it will actually fix things. But, ohpleaseohpleaseohplease maybe just this once?

Silver Nails It

Nate Silver is just creepy in his accuracy (at least at reading my own mind). His summary of the first Obama year is the best I’ve heard and jives almost exactly with what I was feeling and when.

Hold the line!

Hold the line!!!! Don’t listen to the the wimps saying that this means we have to do what Republicans want now. The senate is still 59 to 41, with a Democratic president and massive majority in the House. Come ON, if there was ever a mandate to completely ignore Republicans, that time is NOW.
Update: er, [...]

Centrist isn’t gonna cut it

There’s not really much to learn from Brown/Coakley tonight except that a shitty campaign by a shitty, evil person can’t beat a moderately decent campaign by a really pretty, evil person. Lower dem turnout is a pure function of Coakley, frankly, sucking balls, combined with not speaking to the liberal bedrock that is Mass. Okokok, [...]

Mass Senate Special election

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus you namby pamby Democratic fucks. It’s ONE SENATE SEAT, not the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I’m almost going deaf with the sound of the hand-wringing. I swear if dems held 99 Senate seats they’d find some weird procedural way to give full control of the Senate process to the one Republican left.

Posture-feedback computer screens (low tech version)

Actually a much cheaper way to do this would be the following:
1. Go out and purchase one of those led lights, you know, the kind that are in every kind of electronic crap you can buy these days, and are annoying as fuck to look at head on.
2. Sit in a proper posture position [...]
