They say write what you know. Failing that, write what you’re obsessed about. And I’ve been obsessed with webcomics for the better part of the last three years. It is a productivity killer. I follow a number of thirty different webcomics, all bookmarked into my browser. Hell, being able to import all these bookmarks was part of the reason I switched to Google Chrome recently.
Does it have extensions?
I saw this at Staples, and amidst a world of Firefox vs Chrome, extensions addons, and clean interfaces this cracked me up in the middle of the store.
I originally wanted to write a rant explaining fallacies. For those of you who don’t know, a fallacy is an invalid argument that uses unassociated emotions or biases, that masquerades as a legitimate argument.
The following is a fairly obvious example:
Adam: Smoking is bad, it causes lung cancer.
Bill: Ya, as if I’ll listen to you, I saw you smoke just yesterday.
So I made the switch to the Google Chrome browser recently, and since then, WordPress.com has been crashing nonstop, wiping a couple of my drafts.
Hopefully this problem goes away…

I woke up today and coming out of the shower had a rather nice thought:
What if the iPad steel unibody backside was coming to the fourth gen iPhone? Just thinking about it kind of made me aroused. Mmm… definitely looking forward to fourth gen iPhone and OS 4.0
I’m here to talk with you about the iPad.
Yes, it’s called and iPad. It’s funny. So was iMac, and iPod when they first came out. We’ll get used to it.
But furthermore, let me break it down for you:
At $629, the iPad comes with 16GB of memory, and $30 unlimited data contract.
The iPHONE first came at $599, with 8GB of memory, and a $70-90 contract depending on how much data you wanted.
Let’s see those numbers again side by side:
629–16–30
599–8-70
And that’s not accounting for inflation because god knows thing’s weren’t this cheap three years ago.
Oh but mmfok, the iPhone is a phone
Let me remind you that in the States, there’s a thing called Google Voice, which with any data plan essentially means free calls and free texts. For THIRTY FUCKING DOLLARS, NO CONTRACT.
Yes, I know it’s not a magical device that prints money, or cures cancer, but most of you are merely giving a knee-jerk reaction to the massive amount of hype that preceded this release (which was no fault of Apple’s, as they didn’t release any information until today.) But look at those numbers above, and tell me again the iPad sucks. Maybe it’s not marketed directly at you, or fulfills all your needs, but there’s no denying it’s a good product.
This is a direct reply to blog post from Buy Me a Spaceship, “Every Day Carry“. Originally meant it to be a comment but realised it was getting far too long.
