if i renew my verizon contract right now, i can get a smartphone for $50. this is better than what i’d get by switching to at&t, and vastly cheaper than the umpc’s i want. ergo, it’s actually practical.
the centro runs palm os, which is kind of clunky, but mostly because it’s five years [...]

[and it's down...]
youtube link via mr. heilemann, crap video taken at nerd prom, full-screen that bastard for full effect.
it’s a spectacularly bad version, and still, even in grainy one tenth of a youtube file vision, i’m already there opening day.
and buying all the action figures. and hoping like hell that the video games are [...]

outlander, wherein an alien bounty hunter recruits eighth century vikings to help him kill a ‘dragon’.

so i check out sweetafton23’s other videos, including a cover of ‘tom cruise crazy’ by jonathan coulton, also on ukelele. [...]

24 day one premiered in november of 2001. it’s an election year, unspecified, for the sake of clarity we’ll say it’s actually 2001 and the 24 alternate timeline has their elections one year off from ours. this puts day one in real-time, november of 2001. (apparently they have their primaries in november, [...]

the gop is worried that bob barr’s libertarian candidacy will steal votes from mccain’s base and risk a naderesque democratic win.
which is of course ridiculous. first off, yes, any votes any libertarian gets will come from the republican side, because that’s what libertarians are, anarchist conservatives. not all of them, of course, i’m [...]

i let nyarlo.com expire on over at joker.com because i didn’t have the $12 for the year right then, and figured i’d get around to renewing it soon enough. now someone else snapped it up, and is offering to sell it back to me for only $557. plus yearly maintenance fees.
yeah. thanks.
