Journal Journal: "Westinghouse'm" -- FUD Campaigns Past and Present 4

Journal by Interrobang on Thursday March 16, 2006 @05:30PM

Rustin and I were just having a conversion about the (as he put it) "800 pound gorilla in the room," tactics to create Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in the public mind about everything from software to streetcars. This is not news, exactly; it's the same technique, rhetorically speaking, as anything calculated to create a

From The Toronto Star, March 8, 2006:

Troops to get java fix, Timbits
Tim Hortons to open in Kandahar

HAMILTON--Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan are getting their wish -- Tim Hortons will be serving double-doubles and doughnuts soon enough.

Journal Journal: My Scarily Long List of Indexing Keywords 2

Journal by Interrobang on Saturday March 04, 2006 @10:50PM

Those of you who've been around for a while know that every so often (when the madness strikes), I slap up another index entry for this journal (alas, despite my recent posting pace that resembles a tortoise climbing a greased glass ramp, probably not as fast as I write the damned things, although I tend to index 'em 25 at a time). I'm currently working on Index Entry #3 (50-75), but it's going to take me a while, since some of the posts in the queue involve lots of keywords, lots of links, and

In light of the recent disturbing developments in South Dakota and Missouri, I'd like to update my previous entry where I shamelessly grabbed Katha Pollitt's article on emergency contr

Journal Journal: Wow! Cool! A Mr. Fusion For My Birthday! 3

Journal by Interrobang on Friday March 03, 2006 @02:17AM

Just what I always wanted!

(Hat tip to Perfessor Multigeek, but I did come up with the "pure...satisfaction" part.)

To quote Rustin, "I don't need to explain this. All I need to say is, 'It's desktop fusion,' and we're done." It's real, and at RPI and UCLA, no less. The RPI press release even has a picture, which you all should see.

Hey there, I've just posted more party pictures on LJ, so you can see more of Tomble, if you want to. We just e-mailed SolemnDragon, as well, so it's been a regular Slashdotfest around here Chez Geek.

Journal Journal: The Secret Is Out 4

Journal by Interrobang on Thursday February 23, 2006 @01:18AM

I was just informed that I shouldn't write what I was going to write originally, because it was "too cheesy," so I'm going to write something else. The problem is, I barely know how to say what I want to say.

Of course, secrets are no fun unless people know there's something you aren't telling them.

I'm playing a lot of FarCry at the moment. The overall mood on most european clan servers is great with clan members watching over server rules and general politeness. You hear a lot of 'sry', 'np', 'thx', 'gg' and 'gj' during a good game and a lot of interesting and funny chatting. People come back to these servers. The other side is official UbiSoft servers where more often than not the scum of the net washes up. Experience tells that British and German servers are among the most civilized. French clan servers are often indifferent with almost no admins or distinguished players 'cleaning up'. But Ubi's are the worst by far.

Great news! Rustin is back online. He hasn't returned to /. yet because, as he says, once he does, he'll be "dooooomed!", but he has once again graced cyberspace with his scintillating presence.

Holy crap! They accepted my submission for the Ask Slashdot story in which I intend to pick the entire Slashdot community's brains for marketing programme related activities.

Well, that's never happened before! I haven't been so pleased to be wrong in quite a while!

I've decided I want to buy my business some Google AdWords, as they're an easily-controllable expenditure that might actually pay off. At the very least, they might get me some more site traffic. Anyhow, in case my article submission gets rejected (they always do), I'm throwing the question out to the Fan Club:

Focus on the Family says: Don't be homosexual, fondle our balls!

Focus on the Family has announced their plan to distribute 5000 "stress balls" during Thursday's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, each decorated with the URL of their website, a website devoted to "cures" for being gay. These balls are to be thrown into the crowd by FOTF flunkies.
