A Pulitzer-Prize-winning editor’s job is now to make sure there are no butt cracks in the comics section. He’s not really happy with it, and it suing the paper.
Are My Neighbors Reading This?
I certainly wish my neighbors were reading this.
I must warn you now that I’m going to get a little “cranky ol’ man/dad/bastard” on you, here.
Despite the Money, Inmates Still Go Free?!?
I’m glad I’m not the only one that found it a bit peculiar that the Deschutes Co. Sheriff, who blitzed us to pieces with their Sheriff’s Levy ad campaign last year, has suddenly found a bunch more money — nearly $700,000 worth of extra cash.
So they get this extra money, their levy passes, and they still had to release inmates early last month. And even with this extra money, the Sheriff says he can’t help the early release of inmates. That’s comforting.
Oh, but don’t worry — because of this new found cash, they’ll be able to hire and promote some people. Hopefully those extra helping hands will keep those crooks they let out from robbing us again. He does plan on hiring a computer forensic examiner, so if you read this blog, you’ll know there’s a way to get a degree in that area of study entirely online.
Having a bad day?
In all your bad days, you’ve had nothing like this guy, who not only shot himself in the testicles, but managed to get himself five years in prison for possession of an illegal firearm. Full story.
Make Your Own Energy Drink
Just add one of these pills into your drink, and you’re ready to rock and roll. Quoting PRBop, I can picture the ads for this product being designed similar to the Alka Seltzer ads of yore: “Plop plop, fizz fizz… WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!”
Random Shared Photos
This guy takes random photos he finds on P2P networks and puts them online, and there are some weird ones there. Why people would share this stuff is beyond me. Reminds me of the LiveJournal Random Images generator, which is even more disturbing and shows quite a bit about the people who have LiveJournal accounts. They need to be egged.
Pennsylvania man gets flipped off by Bush
And he’s got the (poor quality) pictures to prove it. Link via everywhere, but I saw it first here.
Tour De France Bike Blog
This is very entertaining. While there’s a good Tour De France Blog on the Web, the blog written by Lance Armstrong’s bike is far more entertaining. Link via Cyberjournalist.
So long, Motherboard Monitor
The indispensable Motherboard Monitor is no longer going to be developed. This tool has helped me troubleshoot so many cooling problems in computers that I don’t know what I’m going do without it. Anybody have any solutions?
Go Ducks!
Apparently, according to Rob, Oregon men’s basketball has secured one of the top 10 recruiting classes in the nation. Right on! Now if we can just make it back to the tournament and past the first round, that’d be good.
