“We have a government that says it’s okay to eat Twinkies and Cocoa Puffs and Mountain Dew, but it’s illegal to drink raw milk and eat compost-grown tomatoes and Aunt Matilda’s pickles.”

you can make money without exploiting the poor
The real problem is not really tax rates per se. The real problem is the power asymmetry that is invariably results from lassez-faire capitalism. Capitalism depends on competition in order to function properly, otherwise it devolves into fascism. But the problem is there is more than one way for a company to succeed. One way is to provide a superior product at a lower price, but another is to...

#StopACTA
Hi there,
Australia, without us knowing it, signed an international treaty that will destroy an open internet around the world. Now, the European Parliament is our last hope to stop it. Whilst it is too late to do anything here, and while we may not be able to protest in Europe, we can help by lending weight to the fight.
No matter where you live, tell them to vote NO on ACTA! I signed the...

Were the graphics always that bad?
I seem to recall loving the last starfighter and thinking the graphics were awesome way back in ‘84 … but having just rewatched it, how were my brain and eyes ever so gullible?

BRING IT HATERZ
Whatever. Do it or don’t.
Ugh, this is the exact opposite of what I want!
I’ll bite. No, not literally. Perverts.
I, however, do bite.
Literally.
Which is my friends no longer ask me to bite them.
But I digress.
Please, Feel free to take a pot-shot at my insecure, sensitive, fragile self image and ego …

The next SOPA
The MPAA studios hate us. They hate us with region locks and unskippable screens and encryption and criminalization of fair use. They see us as stupid eyeballs with wallets, and they are entitled to a constant stream of our money. They despise us, and they certainly don’t respect us.
Yet when we watch their movies, we support them.
Even if we don’t watch their...

A snapshot of my life over the last decade as documented by my camera(s) and uploaded to flickr.
I forgot I had done this … I am surprised at the glimpse into my own life and travels - as limited a view as it is from a short period of time behind the runner eye cup of a camera.

Why McDonald’s In France Doesn’t Feel Like Fast Food
Another reason McDonald’s works so well here is that the food is locally sourced and very high quality. As we all know, France is the land of haute cuisine. But it’s also the land of good cuisine. The French appreciate quality in any category, even fast food. Restaurateurs in France know they’ll go...

That Truthful Tuesday Thing
I love the journey I am on to build up a teaching farm and can’t wait for the endgame, but it does (and quite often) freak me out along the way. Money is a big part of that, fear of failure is another, the amount of time the journey is taking is the third.
I’m still not better at believing people like me for me. That’s not a reflection on others, nor is it a means to fish for...

KEEP AUSTRALIA FOR THE AUSTRALIANS. NO I DON’T MEAN THE ONES WHO WERE ACTUALLY HERE FIRST SHUT UP STOP OPPRESSING ME. (I’m guessing it sounds like that down there just as up here.)
Damn, throw in a few f-bombs and colourful colloquialisms, and you could be a native!

There should be a test for political candidates
Obviously, an IQ test would weed out a few … but that wouldn’t be enough.
I’m thinking a form of ethics and moral tests.
I don’t know, like offering them four doors -
One gives them access to an instant million dollars of “campaign sponsorship”
Two gives them a “get out of jail free” card for anything they know they will get caught over later.

Cynthia Nixon On Being Gay: 'For Me It's A Choice' →
jennlevo:
hmmm… She’s got a point, we do have a choice with who we sleep with and how we wish to be defined. You can choose to sleep with men or choose to sleep with women. One choice will make you happier and leave you feeling honest and full-filled, and well… one might not. But, you do have a choice.
I mean just because I was born with a natural tendency to eat doesn’t mean I have to,...

#I’M GONNA BLOW UP THIS WHOLE PLANE WITH A PIRATED TAYLOR SWIFT SONG
If you’ve been on an international flight, you’d know that customs already have the power to search through your laptop for illegal material.
This isn’t new.
This is why we use PGP and unmounted drives … allegedly … so I heard … on a blog … your honour …

Try a heating pad, Aleeve, chocolate, and a good wank. …You didn’t mean that kind of crampy, did you.
No, but, this might still be a good way to spend monday night :)

clapifyoulikeme replied to your post: Intel Sloth Inside
Are you fucking insulting sloths?
No, I’m fucking insulting intel chipsets.
I would call it a slug, but it hasn’t quite started leaving mucas on everything yet, but it is slower than a starfish munching up a coral reef.
Also, don’t start with me, It’s monday and I’m crampy.
Intel Sloth Inside
Whilst I can’t detect the sticker, I’m convinced that this is what my laptop is running crawling ambling drip-drying my executables with.

I haz the tiredz
we have worked our rather substantial arses over the last two days mowing, weeding, cleaning and generally making everything ready for the agents to hold an open house Monday evening for potential tenants. We just hope that people are willing to sign up immediately and that all of the efforts pay off.
I wanted to do some other things this weekend other than getting wind blown and sun stroked...
