Today’s lesson (rant): Plural vs. Possessive

Monday, February 27th, 2006


Possessive:
CD’s.   "The CD’s surface was scratched."

Plural: CDs.            "I had hundreds of CDs, before the bitch stole most of them."

Thanks for your time and attention. I now return you to your regular Internets™ experience.

angrykeyboarder.com outage

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Due to a "glitch" all things angrykeyboarder.com were down for several hours today (namley the web site and any email).

It’s
back now, but the main reason I’m sharing this with you is because all
email for most of the 24 hours prior to to the time of this message was
permanently lost.

So if you sent me an email at my angrykeyboarder @ angrykeyboarder.com address, it was toast as soon as it got here (but I’m again getting email at this address).

However, if you sent an email to any other of my addressess, it was unaffected and got to me as it should.

So everything’s working now as it should.

I doubt this involved anynoe reading this, but just in case, I thought I’d share.

Hostage Situation in Arizona

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

This is (was?) going on about 2 miles from where I’m calling "home" these days.

It took 6 hours for any media outside of Phoenix to even mention it.  I find that most odd.

the U.S. Justice Department’s subpoena of data from the Web search

and its own trade secrets. [Click for more]

Talk About Renting a Hole in the Wall

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

Anyone?

So you think your place is small? One night recently, a group of
architecture students staying up late in a loft in Brooklyn, New York, took to
amusing themselves by stuffing a mattress into a hole cut into the wall
above a bedroom door. Then they tried the mattress out for comfort. Not
half bad! It occurred to one of them, Nick Freeman, that people might
pay money to call that elevated mattress home….. [read on]

Are you beautiful and cool?

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

Then this man wants you!:

"We want to market to cool, good-looking people," he told Salon.com.
"We don’t market to anyone other than that. Candidly, we go after the
cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great
attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong, and they
can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."

News of the absurd

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

A Louisiana man [looking to score some cash for himself and his lawyer]
has filed a [frivolous] class action suit against Apple Computer,
saying the computer maker has failed to take adequate steps to prevent
hearing loss among iPod users. [Click here for details]

So tell me, then you dumb fuck…

  • What steps did Sony (of CD Walkman fame) and other companies take
    to prevent hearing loss among users of their portable personal CD
    players?
  • What steps did Sony (of [Cassette] Walkman fame) and other companies take to prevent hearing loss among users of their portable personal cassette players before that?
  • What steps did (or have) companies like Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony,
    JVC, Phillips, Technics, Panasonic and others take(n) to prevent
    hearling loss among users of their stereo receivers and amplifiers for
    the home?   That equipment has been sold for decades. It’s still being
    sold. High Volume on a 150+ watt per channel Amplifier or Reciever (for
    a few hours each day) will do more damage than an iPod.
  • Why is Apple unique when it comes to hearing loss caused by idiots who turn the volume up too loud?
  • Why stop at Apple? Sue Apple’s competitors!  Sue the makers of
    home audio equipment too!  After all, one can go deaf using any of this
    stuff, especially if they’re a dumb fuck like you are.
  • Guess what? You can turn the volume down. dumbass!
