Left-wing Versus Right-wing Bloggers

July 12, 2005 - 12:33am
The left is full of crop circle paranoids. The right is full of stupid angry people. The sheer volume of information in both does manage to strip things to bare bones facts, but not by virtue of intelligence, just volume - like a colony of bacteria feeding on a corpse.

On Budget Radio Ads

July 11, 2005 - 10:45pm

Anyone who owns a TV or radio has, at one time, been forced to endure the "budget" ad. While "budget" ads are almost exclusively limited to advertising local business, they nevertheless somehow manage to sound the same, no matter where you are in the United States. Whether you live in Grand Island, or Rhode Island, you most likely been recently alerted via the airwaves that a local car dealership is offering once-in-a-lifetime deals. This message is usually set to the music of that cheap, quasi-pornographic sythesizer warhorse that has been a staple of these ads since 1992.The announcer speaks with this HE-MAN-esque voice that is only used when advertising cars on the radio. The annoucner's voice is typically flooded with reverb effects at the points he wants most emphasized.

I've decided that I finally need to build a site for my professional work in web design and development. Being young and foolish, I figured I could find some good examples of how to "do" a professional website. What I found instead, I present tonight. What you read is real. It may shock you. It may anger you. It may confuse you. However, I'm allowing this filth to be broadcast for one reason, and one reason alone: To educate the public on how NOT to write:

Note: As the reader will notice, in my own prose, I often provide examples of bad, sloppy writing. I do this to help educate the masses. The idea that I might just be lazy is just crazy talk

Unrestricted War

July 8, 2005 - 8:16pm
We have no reason for optimism. This is because the reduction of the functions of warfare in a pure sense does not mean at all that war has ended. Even in the so-called post-modern, post-industrial age, warfare will not be totally dismantled. It has only re-invaded human society in a more complex, more extensive, more concealed, and more subtle manner.
