– An interview with Michael Lopp : The Setup
Mr. Lopp may be better known to you by his nom de plume, Rands. He is also who I want to be when I grow up. I would also like to have Merlin Mann as the crazy uncle who always stops over and raids my liquor cabinet. While I’m at it, I’d like Jack...

The other day, I convinced my friend to try a new drink and he really liked it.
As he sipped it, I put my hand on his shoulder and said “You’re like me now.”

The Best Thing I've Read All Year →
If you want to tout your own morality, you’d best come up with something more substantive than your heterosexuality. You did nothing to earn it; it was given to you. If you disagree, I would be interested in hearing your story, because my own heterosexuality was a blessing I received with no effort whatsoever on my part. It is so woven into the very soul of me that nothing could ever...

Student's bizarre attack on Hell's Angels →
A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria when he ‘mooned’ a group of Hell’s Angels, hurled a puppy at them and then escaped on a bulldozer.
Thursday = Thor's day →
One of the best defenses of atheism/criticisms of religion I’ve ever read.
“What do you do on Christmas or Easter, then? Do you feel weird as a non-believer?”
“What do you do on Thursday?”
“Huh?”
“Thursday was named after Thor. It’s Thor’s day. Do you feel weird as a non-believer?”

Hearing prayer shuts off believers' brain activity →
When some religiously devout people hear a charismatic healer speak the word of god , the regions of their brains involved in skeptical thinking and vigilance appear to shut down.

Carrie Gordon Earll, spokeswoman for the Christian conservative group Focus on the Family issued this statement:
“It’s disappointing to hear Laura Bush, who is a well respected and admired former first lady, espouse positions on marriage and the value of human life that are contrary not only to her husband’s but arguably, according to polls, in conflict with the majority...

Do 'Family Values' Weaken Families? →
The paradox is this: Cultural conservatives revel in condemning the loose moral values and louche lifestyles of “San Francisco liberals.” But if you want to find two-parent families with stable marriages and coddled kids, your best bet is to bypass Sarah Palin country and go to Nancy Pelosi territory: the liberal, bicoastal, predominantly Democratic places that cultural ...
Maniacal Rage: Revenge Reviews →
Hehehe. The last line is the best part.
Another day, another tale of woe regarding the App Store and the high percentage of brainless customers who inhabit it and do ridiculous things. One of my least favorite behaviors is what I call “revenge reviews.” This is where a customer either doesn’t like the app after they buy it, or they buy…
A real person, a lot like you →
When we yell at our car or coffee machine, it’s fine because they’re just mechanical appliances.
So when we yell at a website or company, using our computer or phone appliance, we forget it’s not an appliance, but a person that’s affected.
It’s dehumanizing to have thousands of people passing through our computer screens, so we do things we’d never do if...
US Currency Redesign →
Every time I travel out of the country I’m reminded of how hideous our money is. Virtually every other country on the planet has money that is more aesthetically pleasing than ours, and that includes all the third world countries.
Here’s an example of how awesome our money could look, if the people in charge of such things weren’t idiots.
