Leaving Facebook was tough…
Leaving Facebook was tough... but if I can do it, anyone can. With willpower comes responsibility, ya know? Besides... you can afford to do something else with your time for a little while... can't you? If even 1/10th of the Facebook population decided to do something else with their time, in protest of Facebook's dichotomous privacy stance, they would be shaking in their boots. Popular sites don't last forever, and Facebook will be replaced by a better alternative eventually. It's the only saving grace of capitalism... right?

OiNK Admin Found Not Guilty Walks Free
"Lawyers have presented their final arguments in the trial of Alan Ellis. The prosecution slammed the ex-OiNK admin, saying that the site was set up with dishonest and profiteering intentions right from the start. The defense tore into IFPI and countered by calling Ellis an innovator with talents to be nurtured. Today the jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty, and Ellis walked free."

My moe.dest collection of moe. music
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year. Being thankful for anything and everything our lives offers us is a virtue worth pursuing more often than once a year. But one thing I am always especially thankful for during this holiday is TIME, because I never seem to find enough of it.
So what am I doing with my time? Well, for one I am selling my Ninja 250 since it's basically collecting leaves and dust in our yard. I'm also finally getting around to installing the 1.5TB 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda HDD I bought almost three months ago. Yeah, I know...
Last but not least, I'm finally organizing my massive collection of (mostly) music, including my library of studio, soundboard, and live recordings of my favorite band moe. (and if you haven't experienced the live jam phenomenon that is moe. -- I'm sorry.)
Here it is, about half complete, weighing in at an impressive 22.4 Gigabytes (and growing) :

Hooray for inexpensive storage.
You Know Twitter is Lame When…
From the 'What the HELL are you doing!?!' department...
"You Know Twitter is Lame When... "
- The IRS tells notifies you that you're being auditted via tweet...
- Your car insurance company asks you to follow them via Twitter...
- You must tweet in order to contact Support at your banking agency...
- You can't seem to get enough ideas for home improvement projects thanks to Home Depot's tweets... too bad you never seem to peel your ass off that chair, either.
Ahhh... how incessantly dull our lives might be if it weren't for the almighty Twitter. And in case you're wondering why the shots above appear singed around the edges... well, if you hadn't figured out that we're in HELL by this point... perhaps you were one of those born with the gift of "unique perspective." Cheers! :)
