The KFC Bix Box Meal is awesome.

Man, I just went and picked up a KFC big box meal. That shit is badass. I've never seen so much food for $7. You get more chicken than you can handle, two vegetables, and a coke. Wait, pepsi. Stupid Pepsi. Anyway - get one. It rocks. But your ass better be hungry.

iPhone is iFail

It's hilarious to me that in the world of apple the announcement of features that have existed in phones since 1996 is worthy of an international developer conference. And worse than that, it's also worthy of Apple fanboys flocking to the nearest fellow computer user to say something along the lines of:

"OMFG HAZ U SIEN NU IFONE!??"

Let's review the "new" features of the iPhone 3G-S one at a time.

Video - Never seen this on any phone. Ever. It's new. Completely. Buy Apple.
Voice Control - 1998 never happened. Shut the fuck up.
Cut and Paste - 1982 never happened either.
Voice memos - LOL!!
Compass - ...is special cause of magnetometer - k?

I have never been able to understand why Apple has continuously gone through the process of creating an absolutely evolutionary and new product, then proceeded to:

A) Screw up the release
B) Fail to update the product
C) Not create another one for ten years

Steve Jobs is an interesting guy - I love listening to him speak. And he's certainly creative and smart, as he's helmed three of the most evolutionary steps in computing - The Mouse, The Macintosh, and The iPhone. But seriously, the guy is epic fail at human resources, as all his employees are douchebags.

MindTouch is the best software on the planet.

Mindtouch dekiwiki is simply freaking amazing. I love it more than I love my own mother. Well, maybe not that much - my mom is pretty awesome. But it’s pretty darn close. The software is clean, fast, efficient, and you can access the community version for FREE!

A lot of people have been throwing out phrases like “document collaboration” and “collaborative workflow,” and it’s a bit hard to understand from a distance. But in a nutshell, all document collaboration is, is just a bunch of people working together on project.

Personally, I use Mindtouch at both home and the office. At home, for ultra-nerdy purposes, I use mindtouch to run a D&D campaign. All our character sheets, backstories, and so forth are placed in a central document location. At the office, all of our customer support, knowledge base, and important information are placed there on a server within our intranet.

EXTREMELY COOL STUFF!!!

Not only is it cool, but the staff kicks ass. The pricing is reasonable, they’re all open-source nerd-friendly junkies, and they’re really big on supporting their HUGE developer community. Check em out.

Terminator doesn't terminate

Instead it sends us warm, caring messages that machines are really just like us - human on the inside. 

The franchise sucks.

What’s with 2009 sucking balls?

Unless you’ve had your head in the sand for the past 5 months, you’ve probably noticed that 2009 has sucked some big, fat, hairy dick. We’re in a recession, we have a democrat for President, spending has gotten out of control and every single movie that has come to the box office has blown.

I’ve you’ve read other posts, I’ve actually gone on to describe some of these colossal pieces of failure in detail, so I’m not going to rehash that yet again. But I will go onto say that everything about this year is lame. Starting with the year. It’s an odd number. Odd numbers are gay. You know what else is gay? Barrack Obama. Watchmen was also FAIL.

The Machine is cool sometimes

At least it contorts you in ways that you might like sometimes...

People that coined the term “reverse racism” are idiots.

There is no such thing as reverse racism. There’s racism. That’s it. The very idea of the term “reverse racism” is fucking racist. It implies that you can’t be a damned racist, unless you’re white. And  by that logic, since it's completely impossible for, say, a black person to be racist, “minorities” (another word that’s dripping with dumbass) must be reverse racist.

One of these days, people are going to wake up and realize that the best way to address racism is to just NOT BE RACIST. Don’t treat anybody special. Do not exclude anyone. Do not try to fix it by heavy handed measures, because all you’re going to do is make the cycle repeat itself.
