blogging on the road

| July 19, 2008

Soooo yeah, we’ve been in California for a few days, no thanks to United Airlines or Avis rentals. Let’s start with United: True, by United’s standards we were late (we arrived at the line 45mins before our flight, and you are supposed to be through the line at that point) – still, we’ve never had [...]

Psssst, your whiteness is showing. Man, they can already snoop on quantum encryption.  That took no time at all.  Like, less than no time. This actually kind of inspired me and made me proud of California (no, it’s not the gay marriage thing!  But that’s true there too of course).  I never thought Arnold would [...]

WTF of the day: people line up at 24hr Apple store for no reason

So we all know about honor killings in Iraq (and other backwards parts of the Arab world) by [...]

Speak at white supremacist meeting commemorating Hitler’s birthday! Seriously. I’ll just let that blog post do all the talking and joking.

stuff I don’t like #5: fake-and-bakers

Fake tans. I can’t stand them. There are lots of places to get fake tans in the Portland area. Because, you know, you won’t stand out at all in a city where THERE IS NO SUN 9+ months a year you have no sun. Here’s some random info about the history of sunless tanning (and [...]
