Midnight Jolt Run

By now the fanboys are rushing to the battlements, trying to prepare for the uncouth masses waking up from the last three months…no…the last several years of blind lust for Apple Computers Inc.  I can only imagine how it must feel to know you’re on the other side of the coin when the Second Coming turns out to be a sham, the Lotto ticket is a fake, or the Pregnancy Test and the Colon Cancer results got mixed up at the clinic.  But that’s exactly what happened here.  The company that “Revolutionized” the industry just fucked up their chance to continue to suck unquestioned and untold amounts from the collective credit-card teats of the Starbucks crowd.  Hallelujah.  At least…I hope they have.

Now, this post has a higher purpose than just Apple bashing, so let me get it out of the way that I admire what OSX does for portable devices, and think it’s an excellent match on the iBook and Powerbooks.  Even the iPhone is the best at what it does, and I cannot argue the iPod itself is single-handedly responsible for saving Apple’s ass from the late 90’s.  However, after listening to the last three months of meaningless, useless jabber from the professional computer industry about the iPad, and for a moment actually thinking that MAYBE Apple would create a product I’d be interested in, I feel fully justified in bringing the fire.  You fucked up, Apple.

They both used some minutes on Tom’s pay-as-you-go phone to call in sick, then continued to fuck like hyperactive teenagers until there was a real and serious danger of the bedroom floor cracking like the bathroom’s. Read the rest of this entry »

I used to think that changing the world was something anyone could do with the right idea, and honestly, I still believe it is.  The right idea at the right time with the right strengths and skills can be an amazing combination.  I believed, naively as many young people believe, that you could help change the world if you got into politics and made fair and just laws, or marched in defiant protest against the demons of the world.  There was even a time where I had reasoned out and decided at which point I could answer a call to arms to defend myself, my family and my country, and it pleased me to know that anyone can exercise their free will and become an extraordinary example of humanity, faith and inspiration to countless others.

But, if I knew then what I know now, I would probably want to grow up to be a terrorist.
