As was my view in this entry of my blog, I can now provide even further proof of this ridiculous world we live in.
Google Street View has recently come under fire when trying to photograph a specific town in England.
Now the camera has been used by the public for about 100 years. Over those years [...]

I am a bit of a geek. I like technology and I like understanding the various uses of that technology. I have spent the last month or so reading every news article I can about a new (I won’t say newest, because as we all know in this industry “newest” is outdated within minutes) phenomenon: [...]

Many of you may have heard about the trial of the mounties in the taser death of some nut at an airport.

I am not sure if you followed this story, basically because I have no idea who “you” are, since you are sitting at a computer looking at this at any time and in any place.. So regardless, here [...]

So I was thinking, which is scary enough in itself, but regardless. What if human beings are exactly like any other animal, except that we have this highly developed brain which causes morals, emotions, thought etc?
Do the popular lions always win Class President? Is there a class system of buzzards flying above us? Do lonley, [...]

So, one thing that is quite neat about women and men is the different approaches they take on appearance. I found that when women need a haircut, they plan long in advance, have 2 or 3 magazine clippings chosen for the style and have had, at minimum, an hour or 2 discussion about what colour, [...]

Where do homeless people get the markers and bristol board? Shouldn’t they be spending the money they do on signs, on FOOD?! Here’s an idea use the cash to buy a fruit cup! We get the fact that you are homeless…. Very rarely do home’d people cover their bodies in mud and sit on the [...]
