So, it turns out you can have a lot of stupid fun with your iPhone and its video camera and your knitting wife (wife!) getting not that annoyed with you, and really not all that much to work with and not even an idea.

Neat!

Cozy Starter Home

I dunno. It’s a pretty blue. And I’m sure it’s in a great neighborhood, but it’s probably expensive. And as soon as you have a baby, or your in-laws come for a visit, or even just when you have your boss over for dinner, it’s going to feel cramped. How many bathrooms does this place even have? Seriously, unless you’re an extraordinarily sedentary, single guy with military-grade cleaning and organization abilities, I’d pass on an offer like this, no matter how much you love the color.

Even worse,” Barstock continued, “there’s this huge picture of me standing in front of it with Reba. ‘Bout an hour later, my ex old lady sends this nasty email demanding to know why I’m spending all my money at a titty bar instead of giving her more alimony. And I was like, what the hell are you on about, woman? That’s when I learned Google had posted the porno shop on my Google Profile, my Google Maps and my Google Latitude. Then stupid Google+ invited everyone in my circles to join me at The Rusty Bush Erotic Bookshoppe. Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ!

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.

Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - http://www.fightforthefuture.org/pipa

PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites— they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.”

The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that’s for a fix that won’t work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.
