My opinion on the latest current events
So I had a kid and work two jobs. Ben moved to New York to work fancy and confusing jobs. Plus we're starting a new business soon. So we have no time to tell you how incorrect the government is and always will be.Follow us on twitter: I'm brickcheney, and Ben's typicaltuesday.
Current temperature in hell: polar bear toenails
I'll be frank like Anne, I did not see this one coming: a ranking contender for World's Most Pointless State Agency slaps down a request from a private company, a brilliant Web 1.9 one at that, and we here on the left side of Mutiny Baby agree wholeheartedly with The Acronym's decision? What are the odds? read more »
"I am sorry."
Whether you enjoyed I Am Legend or not, check out the alternate ending; it sets the "main" "zombie" character (billed as Alpha Male) as the protagonist's foil and moral equal instead of a mere nemesis. Though the new ending shows more consistent character logic and sets up themes like "love vs. hubris" instead of just "loneliness is sad," this is relevant to this blog how? As follows: read more »
Wait, I heard it was an inverted Jesus cross with the arms broken off?

$3 Bllion to NOT Use Handhelds
So apparently there was a plan for the Census Bureau to actually get off of the current paper system and move to handheld computers. These would be used by those who have to go searching for the people who didn't respond to the census by mail.
