When I was in junior high I used to think testing games would be the coolest job in the world. After reading this article, though, I know better. Besides, everyone knows lumberjacks have the coolest job in the world.

Instant messaging for Palms. Why didn\’t they do this sooner? I think some of the problems, though, are that wireless internet access is still too expensive and too slow, and it\’s not available everywhere. A better idea is to have pagers or cellphones that can send and receive instant messages. Although it\’d be a pain in the ass typing messages from a cellphone\’s number pad. And I\’m not sure I want assholes ICQing me for cybersex on my cellphone.

Hey, these flexible keyboards are cool. I can just imagine walking up to someone\’s computer and sliding aside his keyboard, and they ask, \”Hey man, don\’t you need a keyboard?\” And I say, \”No man, I have my own.\” And then, with a flick of my wrist, I pull my rolled-up keyboard out of its holster, unroll it, and slap his face with it.

Futurama quote of the day: \”They\’re like sex, except I\’m having them.\”

Now this is what I\’ve been looking for. Ishouldbeworking.com has games, jokes, cartoons, a panic button, everything you need to slack off.

The box of my Round Table pizza says \”The Last Honest Pizza.\” About time! I\’m sick of all those other skank-ass pizzas lying and cheating on me.

1 out of 10 computers possessed by Satan. Not mine, my computer\’s agnostic.

Excellent article about the increasing power of corporations.

Corporatism: \”A system in which industrial and professional corporations fund and dominate politics, circumvent government and other forms of regulation, expand globally beyond accountability, alter the nature of work, marginalize individuals, and exercise monopolistic control over technology, culture, information and commerce within their jurisdictions.\”

The sad part is that most people don\’t care. Just by talking to my friends and people in my dorm it\’s obvious they don\’t give a fuck that corporations are slowly but surely taking over every aspect of our lives. It seems to me they just accept that, in a few a short years, the only place they can shop is the Gap, the only place they can eat is McDonald\’s, the only music they can listen to is the latest pop bullshit. The future is bleak.

Went to the driving range this afternoon and hit some balls. That guy who drives the, uh, golfball-picking-up car must have the worst job in the whole world. As soon as he gets on the field everyone aims for him. At least, I do.

Good interview with Trent Reznor about gaming and music, uh, stuff.
