Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ♥ Michael Moore (Or vice versa)?
CNN's quote from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
"The engine of unbridled capitalism, with its unfair system of thought, has reached the end of the road and is unable to move."
CNN's quote from Michael Moore:
"Yes. Capitalism. Yes. Well, I don't have to say it. Capitalism, in the last year, has proven that it's failed. All the basic tenets of what we've ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
This was originally posted January 14th, 2005 on my blog at robertdot.org before I pulled a lot of content off. I'm reposting because I realized when I got the iPhone 3GS that Apple had implemented almost exactly what I described below with their new voice control.
I was scouring the web looking for a program for my Nokia 3660 that would ( Read more... ) -
Twitter Traffic Machine?!
Twitter Traffic Machine seems to be working to introduce spam to Twitter. Awesome! If you've gotten followers recently that only seem to post headlines and links to articles, I reckon they might be from here, and it turns out their content is probably generated from somewhere else and probably contains links to stuff that they and / or someone ( Read more... ) -
NIN Hiatus, Again. WTF?
If you didn't read it, go ahead and read A note from Trent and a wave goodbye. If you're a fan, when you're done reading, you'll say, "WTF?," "Again?!," or a combination of both. You'll say this because Trent wants to take a break and / or kill off Nine Inch Nails. He was pretty vague about it ( Read more... ) -
Art or Artist
Local pop station 103.7 The Q has promised to stop playing Chris Brown songs after the news went around that he beat his girlfriend Rihanna who is also a pop star. They've decided to have some kind of make-a-donation-and-hear-any-song-you-want fundraiser for domestic abuse ( Read more... ) -
American Idol
Erin and I were at my parents' last night. American Idol came on. My parents watch it, so we all sat around for the final decisions for the top 36. I'm only saying this so that I can say that Nate Marshall reminds me of Terry from Reno 911. I can't find video of him from the auditions where I decided this, but here is a video of him singing ( Read more... ) -
Pave the Cow Path Follow Up
Earlier this week, the "Stop Here On Red" sign was replaced by a yield sign. Is someone listening? Also, I was wrong about the lack of a protected left. There is one. I've just never seen it on. -
The Things They Don't Tell You
I got burned twice yesterday because the real specifications of products weren't disclosed:
- YouTube only allows 10 minute clips for normal users. It has been this way since 2006. If you are an avid YouTube user, you may already know this. Seeing as I've uploaded 5 or 6 short videos, I never thought about it. Yesterday, I tried to upload my ( Read more... )

There Goes The Neighborhood
When we decided to buy our house, we found out some great news. The land behind our house, currently all woods, didn't perk. That means you can't put a septic tank there. Since there was no sewer service, that meant there would be no development behind our house ( Read more... ) -
Pave The Cow Path
When I turn right onto Highway 11 from Argo-Margaret Rd, I eventually hit a 3-way stop traffic light. That is, two directions are Highway 11, and one is a right turn to go to the freeway. Whenever the light is red for Highway 11, the right hand turn is clear. Since we allow right hand turns at red lights, that works out great. Since the right ( Read more... )
