rotten bananas

I use Microsoft products everyday at work. We’re a .NET/MSSQL shop exclusively, so this is what I have to work with. It’s not a bad system. The Visual Studio IDE is a great programming environment - at the feature level. SQL Management Studio is a great product as well - also, at the feature level.
I’ll […]

This post will only encompass one thing that should be punishable by death. But, I have a feeling this could quickly become a series, so I went plural on you, hardcore.

I get it. You want to get my attention. This is not the way to do it. When I’m casually browsing Digg […]

Time for a mini-rant on the English language. I’m somewhat of a grammar nazi. It doesn’t mean that I always get it right, but I pride myself in being pretty close most of the time. I was browsing my blog list and hit Daily Blog Tips. My intention here is not to single them out, […]

Wow, chalk this up as the most absurd story of the moment. Some rabid (def: carrier of rabies) fan of Paris Hilton’s has attempted to have her DUI (that’s driving drunk/endangering lives/generally having no regard for others) pardoned (oh yea, and her license was suspended) by sending a letter to the governator.

Something is going horrifically wrong in this country. We have a president that’s supposed to represent our population but ignores its majority. 50% of the officials in the national government are in some kind of trouble. A number of them can’t seem to keep it in their pants.
And now this. Suddenly people on the front […]

So, NBC canceled the Black Donnellys. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an excellent show about the Irish mob in (I believe) New York City. There are very few shows on television that I find worth watching. The majority of Reality shows are completely lame (and often stripped of any actual ‘reality’ elements). The new […]

A Swedish couple is being barred from naming their daughter ‘Metallica’. While I see the concern here, who really cares? The parents will be the ones that have to face the embarrassment of telling everyone they know that they named their daughter after an old has-been metal band.
If we want to get our panties in […]

Snickers aired an ad during the Superbowl in which two guys accidentally kiss and then rip out a handful of chest hair in a manly response. It made me laugh when I saw it, and I thought it was clever. At no point during or after the commercial did I think, “Yea, they’re right. Homosexuals […]

I’d like to draw your attention to this article. Actor Lane Garrison of Prison Break fame (or infamy) killed a teenager and injured two others while driving them around drunk. He had a BAC of .015. That’s well above the legal limit. Now, what gets me is that the article says that they “want” to […]

I can’t understand why so many people are up-in-arms about gay marriage. What everyone should be worried about is celebrity marriage. So many celebrities are making a mockery of the sanctity of marriage.
Look at Britney Spears. (via Wikipedia)
On January 3, 2004, Spears married her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander at The Little White Wedding Chapel […]
