[ via Camworld ] More people trying to repurpose my employer’s coolness. “My name is Bob Ehrlich, and I’m a Republican trying to look cool.”

It’s a UN*X box. Just get used to it.

[ via Zeldman ] You’d think that web designers would be happy now that they can test, on their desktops, their work in an environment more or less the same as it’ll be in that rackmount at the data center. No, they aren’t. It’s a culture gap.
Craig’s List: futon ISO action
October 12, 2002 – 12:00 am
[ via Liz H. ] A poor futon in the City longs for an owner who has an actual love life. No freaks or Mini Cooper owners.
Dude, you’re getting an extinction level event.

Propaganda for Hire
September 1, 2002 – 12:00 am
[ via Lynne Ann Morse ] The brainchild of advertising executives turned novelists Adam Lury and Simon Gibson, Narration Ltd will produce fictional stories on demand for firms and public bodies seeking to explain “difficult ideas” to the public. Some folks are not amused.
No opt-out in Spielberg’s World
July 6, 2002 – 12:00 am
[ via Anita's LoL ] Over at Stating the Obvious, Michael Sippey asks why don’t the inhabitants of Steven Spielberg’s intrusive advertising saturatated 2059 install spam filters? My guess is that in that future, blocking ads is a terrorist offense. I enjoyed Minority Report, by the way. Spielberg does a good Hitchcock. Of course, it [...]

Why I Love Spam Assassin, #431 of a Series
June 19, 2002 – 12:00 am
Not only does Spam Assassin kill nearly all spam before it appears in my inbox to darken my day and raise my blood pressure, it inserts wonderfuly snarky comments in items it marks as spam: SPAM: Hit! (2.3 points) BODY: Gives a lame excuse about why you were sent this SPAM
Work from Home
March 31, 2002 – 12:00 am
The editors at Cockeyed.com unwittingly started a journey up the river. They were in Sacramento, attempting to determine why anyone would live there, when they noticed a plauge of “work-from-home” signs affixed to every telephone pole in site. They started following the trail, and found a cult, not unlike Col. Kurtz’s, at the end.
Microsoft’s Anti-UNIX FUD backfires
March 30, 2002 – 12:00 am
[ via MetaGrrrl ] Look out! Microsoft’s launching another media campaign to bullyrag IT departments into buying Win2K for the server side. Update: Cam reports that the ad campaign’s web site was running BSD/Apache. Let’s see how fast Microsoft changes that. Update: Flutterby reports that the wehavethewayout site was returning IIS server errors. I checked [...]
Lightwave and iMacs go well together on the iBeach…

[ via Michael Rawdon ] Don’t challenge an iMac to a game of limbo unless you’re extremely flexible. [ QuickTime, duh! ]
How to Read a Press Release
March 25, 2002 – 12:00 am
[ via the Muted Horn ] A press release with the brand names changed has been annotated at CIO magazine. It’s like those wonderfuly nasty dissections they do of official documents in Harper’s Magazine. The source document has been found at True Advantage, a sales automation vendor.
What is Scientology?
March 2, 2002 – 12:00 am
I’m participating in Wes’ experiment. I think that people should be knowledgeable about religions, including Scientology.
Pixar does the iMac
February 20, 2002 – 12:00 am
[ via Kimbro Straken ] The loop is closed. Pixar made two ads for the new iMac. It really is the great grandchild of Luxo, Jr. [ QuickTime, duh! ]
Tarring drug users as terrorists
February 4, 2002 – 12:00 am
The rhetoric of the Drug War knows no bounds. David Kurtz comments on the Superbowl ads: Such a simplistic approach is easily (and rightfully) dismissed by anyone with a modicum of critical thought. The Colombian drug lords do not make a habit of blowing up their customers on international stages. They bleed them slowly in [...]
