The New F***ing Citibank

Okay, this just pisses me off. the free market alternative is to have citi bank (and the rest of the financial industry) simply collapse into dust. then you wouldn't have any lines to bitch about. or any savings.

VideoSift Fundraiser (Sift Talk Post)

I used to be a professional project manager. It seems we were the first people to go in the great recession/depression of 2008-?. Now I am back to basic research using my (previously unmarketable) training as a physicist. However, I have been fielding calls from several of my former writers/editors who have been saddled with project management responsibilities. It seems that the world is quick to judge who is unnecessary, while equally quick suffer the need for particular services.

It is from this place that I beseech all of you who supplement/forgo cable and/or satellite TV because of the bounty of Videosift: For gods' sakes, think of the sift as the professional service that it actually is!

Think of this as an opportunity, as a community, to make a statement about the viability of niche media services. Do we really want to to be slaves of Network TV in perpetuity, so that our children inherit a media ecosystem that rewards programing with 1-5 million weekly viewers with immediate cancellation? In the age of the internet, thousands, or even hundreds, of individuals should be capable of supporting professional services/programing (without corporate overhead).

In the spirit of full disclosure, I have NOT made a financial contribution to the sift, nor am I a charter member. This is due to two factors: (1) I am losing my current position on July 31st (corporate cowards backing off from basic research), and (2) because I am already actively donating to the Rebel FM and CO-OP podcasts. Forgive me for prioritizing content creators over contend aggregators, but the sentiment is the same: I want niche media to succeed.

Zero Punctuation: Fear 2

I like his comments on game sequels. As much as I LOVED Freespace 2, the lack of an ending really, REALLY sucked. Was Volition really THAT confident they'd be able to make Freespace 3? Even Decent: Freespace offered more closure, probably because they weren't sure they'd get a sequel.

I don't see any difference between the quality of the display of this device vs. the Kindle or Sony's reader.

And "less than 1 lb" isn't saying much, I can't imagine a .75 lb letter sized ebook would be comfortable on the wrist after an hour.

Why Atheists Are So (F*cking) Angry

14087 says...

I'm an atheist. I'm not angry.

Pointing fingers is silly, we live in the house/city/country/world our species has built. There's a lot of good stuff, a lot of bad stuff (subjective labels).

Am I alone in believing there is no such thing as utopia? Never was, never will be.
