False Starts

Every night I’ve been sitting down in front of the old G4 trying to write up an entry. Every single day I’ve written a page or two and then decided the entire thing was completely insipid. Example: Last night I’d written a fairly lengthy piece about why it doesn’t matter that the cheapest G5 is 2 grand. See people have been whining about this supposed hole in Apple’s product lineup but these are folks who want a pro desktop for consumer use. That’s fine and all, heck I want a G5 and don’t need one, but don’t expect Apple to put out some hobbled G5 and hamper the professional perception of the G5. And remember Macs are used extensively in image editing and Movie creation, those folks need pro level stuff, web opiners don’t need a G5, trust me. Quick rule of thumb for ascertaining if you really REALLY need a G5: If someone else is going to buy it for so you speed up your workflow (thus enhancing your departments bottom line) then yeah you NEED a G5. If you can’t calculate the payback (time from initial investment to eventual payback) then you don’t need a G5, you just want one.

Well, the stuff I wrote yesterday was way more detailed and thought out, but from the snippet above you can see why I killed it. An ancillary problem with all these false starts is that I don’t post any links. So my blog link folder just keeps swelling up like a big old goiter. Allow me to rectify that with a whole bunch of freakin links (remember folks those images are links as well):

First link thanks to Bailey, our neighbor to the north where the beer is great and people know Molson tastes skunky.

Very funny training video for the movie DodgeBall. Thanks Again Bailey.

Anyone who reads my entries knows I really don’t like either option in this election year. My sentiments are illustrated quite nicely by this video:

The Terrible Secret of Space
By the way, I am solidly behind the pusher robot. If you think the shover robot can protect us you’re some right wing nazi commie pinko left leaning elitist. And you’re probably one of those America First hate America types. Xenophobic open border swine.

My last entry contained a couple of links to porn. Well, they weren’t really porn links, they were gag links. If I really linked to porn Tim would axe me faster than a polecat shucks corn. Only polecats don’t shuck corn, it just sounded folksy. On the other hand if they did shuck corn they’d probably be pretty fast at it. Ignore that tangent, the point is what I’m about to say might sound pornographic but it isn’t. See I’d like to try some Tang Pie. I bet it would be delicious.

Or in Homer speak: MMMM Space Pie

Just a bit of weirdness on the web. Hey, I love these mass pranks:

Two game picks today, cause they have a common theme, they’re both incredibly violent.

First off we have a spoof of Smack the Pingu. This is the same basic game only buckets of blood have been added. I’m not sure if that makes it gratuitously violent or more realistic. I mean you’re hitting penguins with a bat after all. Well.. the landmines are certainly gratuitous. Go play:

Ah cricket, surely the most boring sport on earth. This flash game manages to avoid the breaks for tea and such:

Wow, that’s a ton of stuff. I wonder what effect it will have on the tridiot rating (and remember use the tridiot rating as much as you possibly can, work it in to conversations and stuff). The Exidy Sorcerer says 111.111%
