Get Off My Planet

Inspired by com­ments on a blog post about the recent leg­is­la­tion to man­date CFL level effi­ciency in light­bulbs by 2012. I’ve decided on a new stock response to the usual whin­ing from peo­ple that con­ser­va­tion and char­ity is too much of an impo­si­tion on them…Fuck you, and get off of my planet.

Fuck Google

I missed the ini­tial hul­la­balo sur­round­ing the recent Google Reader fiasco (link goes to the Slashdot dis­cus­sion). But I may as well add my thoughts.

Huzzah!

Wow, usu­ally my com­plete and utter apa­thy results in my rants being hor­ri­bly late; but for a change I was ahead of the curve. Go ahead and com­mence to fel­lat­ing each other you mighty Prophets of Nerdistan. Your whin­ing and com­plain­ing has slayed the mighty dragon that is Steve Jobs. He has heard your pro­nounce­ments and hung his mock-turtle-clad neck in shame. Yes you, and you alone, have forced Apple to announce a SDK for the iPhone

Or, per­haps not. Certainly noth­ing that any­one says or does will con­vince you oth­er­wise. So, drink deeply from your flagon of Mountain Dew Code Red! For you have tri­umphed over a great injus­tice! It’s still not going to get you anal though.

Let’s Kill All the Analysts!

Sorry Will, it’s not the lawyers who need to go up against the wall; it’s the Wall Street ‘ana­lysts;’ espe­cially those who cover tech­nol­ogy. I want a job where I can pull some overly inflated ‘expected sales’ out of my ass; and when the prod­uct in ques­tion fails to meet the tar­get that I, not the actu­ally com­pany sell­ing the prod­uct, set for it; I can write up a retarded screed on how sales are ‘slip­ping’ to drive more hits to my master’s web­site. And yes, I know that I’m not cit­ing any actual sources here; but I’ll be fucked raw before I send one click to these fuck­ing leeches’ sites. ps.Fuck you Forbes​.com for hav­ing not only a site load inter­si­tial, but a Flash adds with audio on thour damned site. That shit was a dick-move in 2001 and it’s a dick-move now.

Too Tired for Outrage

So, here’s the deal. This week­end I’m going to a party for a spe­cial friend of mine. What kind of party, you ask. Is it a birth­day, an anniver­sary, a grad­u­a­tion? No, the party that I’m going to is so that we can col­lect sup­plies to send to her brother’s Army unit in Afghanistan. Read that last sen­tence again. We’re gath­er­ing sup­plies to send to an Army unit. Not the sort of care pack­ages that would have been sent in ear­lier con­flicts; you know, home baked treats, lux­ury items that aren’t avail­able there…porn. No, we’re gath­er­ing soap and toi­let paper.

Toilet!

Fucking!

Paper!

And yet the President can get on cam­era; and with a straight face claim that call­ing for the return of our brave men and women to their homes is some­how not sup­port­ing the troops. Let me ask you this Mr. Bush, how many rolls of that Whitehouse TP will you be donating.

Valentine’s Day

And here we are on Valentine’s Day, the national hol­i­day of florists, Hallmark and the cock-suckers at DeBeers. Well, fuck dia­monds, fuck “greet­ing” cards and fuck dead flow­ers. But to my true friends, to the ones that I love and adore.… Thank you for being in my life. May you live as long as you love, and love as long as you live.
