Dear FTC, You Can Kiss My Blogging Ass!

December 2, 2009

At least three people have asked me what I think about the new FTC guidelines dealing with Bloggers who accept freebies. For those of you who didn’t know it, the rules went into effect on December 1, 2009 in the US, so if you have a blog you better be aware of what we’re talking [...]

Here is a question: There is a couple that wants to get married. The guy is a satanic priest with body modifications including piercings all over his body, horns implanted under his skin on his shaved skull and tattoos from head to toe. Let’s also imagine he’s also a convicted rapist, wife abuser and pedophile. [...]

Have you ever been to the zoo? I was at the Dallas Zoo the other day, staring at the primates. Don’t worry, they were staring right back. Anyway, this big male gorilla, who had been sitting quietly with a couple of females laying around nearby, suddenly just got up and freaked out. Now, I should [...]

Did You Know? A Philosophical Video for the 21st Century

February 19, 2009

Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman, remixed. I actually thought I posted this video previously, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Even if I did, it’s worth taking another look.

February 17, 2009

So what have we learned in two millennia? “The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on [...]

I Take Issue with Mark Cuban’s Open Source Funding Plan

February 11, 2009

Mark Cuban pitched an idea over on his blog in which he offers to fund business plans for people, but only if: People completely detail out their business plan in public. The businesses must show a profit within 90 days. You use the bank of Mark’s choice and allow him control over expenditures. Unfortunately, I [...]

From the Sand Pit – Message From a Recon Marine in Afghanistan

January 28, 2009

Wow! I’m not sure if the letter below is legitimate or fabricated. It sounds like it could be from a real Marine, and so I’m going to publish it just in case. Either way, it gives you a lot to think about… It’s freezing here. I’m sitting on hard, cold dirt between rocks and shrubs [...]
