RoadRunner ISP: censorship for the masses. Road Runner subscribers, now’s the time to switch to an ISP that lets you see the whole internet, not some sort of weak-ass corporate-approved subsection thereof. Note that if you’re stuck with that crappy ISP you won’t be able to see the linked site. If that’s the case, perhaps you should call the technical support line to find out why that’s happening.

How low will online marketing go? Consider the case of Cillit Bang and ask yourself, is the scum that came up with that sort of sick marketing campaign really human?

Boeing makes getting connected while aloft a reality, but finds it’s a tough sell. It’s kinda sad how American carriers seem to have forgotten the meaning of “competitive advantage”… eventually they might all nickel-and-dime their way into bankruptcy.

Newest Dutch invention: the house that swims. This is very cool! and certainly well-suited to the Netherlands’ quandary as a nation which lives (to a great extent) below sea level. They should consider building at least a few of these as a pilot project in New Orleans.

Thinking a calling a US drug snitch line? Don’t be too quick to think that the so-called “good guys” actually have any intention of paying those rewards they like to advertise… in fact those programs seem more designed to get the caller arrested as well.

How many heads of important federal offices are in fact Bush lickspittles with no relevant experience? Let me count the disasters just waiting to happen…

Project for the Old American Century. Brought to you by the people who are pretty f*cking sick and tired of the imperialist bullshit inspired by the Project for the New American Century.

Here’s a hint for all Canadians who order stuff from the US: make sure you choose Fedex, DHL or the US Postal Service to deliver your package. I went with the shipping company associated with the color brown (I shan’t name it here, because I’ve decided to shun it) and have been truly ripped off by these sons of bitches. On a package worth less than $120, the fuckers are charging me a whopping $61.98 of “brokerage fees”.

I really don’t have a choice because they’re holding my package hostage until I pay them, but one thing’s for sure — I’m going to file complaints with the BBB and local trade authorities over this dishonest dealing.

Websudoku! It’s the numbers game that’s taking the internet by storm…

9/11 at 4. Tristan Louis reflects on the American situation 4 years after 9/11. Obviously this was written a couple of weeks ago, but then whoever said that rememberance and analysis should be restricted to the one day?
