Sexual Harassment seems to be the latest corporate buzzword.  Not that you can’t be sexually harassed, that happens all the time.  But the extent to which it’s taken is disturbingly bizarre.
Or the extent to which it’s not taken in some cases.  There seems to be very little relaxed middle ground stateside.
So, without further ado, I […]

USAToday has a meandering piece on recycling for your perusal.
While it does encapsulate some “feel good moments” it’s as light on facts as any other “journalism” I’ve been reading lately.
Honestly, you’d think these articles were produced by a crack team of highschool students that aren’t allowed out beyond the walls of their schools.  It’s like […]

Looks like inovative revenue sharing methods are starting to pop up.  Lulu.tv is doing the “post your media online” model ala youtube, but offering up 80% of the revenue to the providers of the content.
Here’s how it works.
You put your video up on Lulu.tv and then it goes into circulation.  All of the revenue generated […]

There’s something about the Bastard Operator which goes down well on a Friday ‘noon.
Watch and be amazed as he goes over just how to relieve the company of excess management and incompetent employees…

Some of the bright bulbs in the scientific community appear to have their thinking caps firmly lodged on.
Paul Crutzen is putting forward the idea to launch sulfur into the second closest layer of Ozone to earth. In effect this would mimic natural volcanic eruptions and deflect more light away from the planet, cooling the earth.

While […]

Just picked up on this repost over at OSDir.
Check out the wording on that one, then read the title: “United States Cedes Control of the Internet”.
So, they’re reaching for a title with some “shlocking awe” qualities from an article that doesn’t say what the title implies.
The actual body of those statements are so vague and […]

While the USA .gov is waffeling over domain control and making more concilatory noises they’re still planning on maintaining control of the system with an iron fist.
All this while claiming that they’ve got our best interests in mind.  As long as our best interests are paying more for domain names.
Now.  I don’t care who carries […]

The homeless apparently create unsafe parks by, and this one’s a bit tricky, eating in them.
So Orlando is now banning feeding the homeless. Much like we ban feeding Canadian Geese here in CT.
Oddly for much the same reason. Orlando is going to eliminate the “homeless threat” before the “homeless win”. Because once […]

A collegiate group doing an experiment with promoting FireFox (if I read that right) came up with two browsers. One sold on the idea that faith orientation (we’ll assume Christian.. there aren’t other faith’s, right? right?) while the other sold on the idea of sex.
Now, they don’t mean sex when they say that. […]

After Israel’s PM has expressed his dissapointment at the UN’s harsh statements concerning Israel’s bombing of their peacekeeping force (hopefully that wasn’t too adjective ridden) it turns out the Israelies simply ignored the UN peacekeepers request that they not be killed.
That’s, uh, kinda strange.
Apparently they care so little about whom they fire on they’ve now […]
