Beware the wrath of Dave, poke fun at his netbook and he’ll just crassly assume you’re a spineless puppet of Apple folk because they’re naturally the only ones who are uninspired by flimsy designs. I resemble [sic] his remarks… for one thing not all Apple fans are boys ;).
Back in 2006 I posted some of my favourite Bruce Schneier facts. Here we are in 2010 and I still read ones that make me laugh out loud!
The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done." ~ George Carlin
Damn it, I miss you George.
Did you know, if you do a Google Video Search for politicians on Google Video Search (well that was a redundant sentence addition), the first result you get is a video titled "Politicians avoiding questions"
I think that says it all, sadly.
I’m typing this post from a small café next to our hotel in Dublin and boy it’s freezing! There’s snow lightly falling outside and the footpaths are slick with ice which has caused more than a few bruises in the last few days, but we’ve still been thoroughly enjoying ourselves!

Having just talked about him yesterday (Keith Olbermann’s Countdown as a podcast), I just found out through his show’s site you can buy a Keith Olbermann bobblehead complete with a little desk!
Keith Olbermann Bobblehead — Now you can sit down with your favorite MSNBC personality, Keith Olbermann. This new bobblehead features the talk show host seated at his Countdown desk. You’ll have a front row seat for all the action.
I reckon he’d go great with my anime figures, they could all set up some sort of weird newsroom ^_^. If anyone wants to buy me one, let me know and I’ll forward you my address. Don’t all rush to offer at once!
Comment I just overheard someone make in class:
Don’t trust Microsoft with their Azure or anything else for backing up your cloud data. They’ll Sidekick it!
Sidekicking actually makes for a really a good verb! Perhaps it could be extended to refer to any cloud data loss that hasn’t been adequately backed up, or data lost on services people have developed an ill advised over-dependency on. Or false advertising and breach of contract regarding data integrity and security.
