“The public wants term limits, and while it may be that the city council has the...”
– New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, November 22, 2005
In August 21, 2002 he said “I believe it is simply inappropriate to seek to change those rules in a manner that may work to their own advantage.”
On October 2, 2008 he said “If the council passes it, I will sign it and I plan to run for...
The Elephant on the Couch
rainblog:
I’ve been playing around with CouchDB for a personal project, and finding a lot to like about it. After years of working with SQL databases, adapting to the CouchDB way of doing things requires some mental readjustment, but it definitely has some powerful features.
One of the big differences between CouchDB and a traditional relational database is the way that you get information out...

I was told that I need to channel my anger, but what I really want to do is channel my anger into smashing the shit out of this iPhone. #att
Fuck yeah. I almost threw my iPhone off the Griffith Observatory yesterday. AT&T gets worse every single day.
YES. I am home sick today and had an important conference call with an advertiser....
Atheism as faith
ericmortensen:
You define athiesm as “To assume that you know with no amount of uncertainty how The Universe was created”. Atheism has nothing to do with that. Atheists simply say, “due to a complete lack of evidence, I do not believe in deities.” That’s it. Nothing more. There’s certainly nothing about atheism that asserts an understanding of how the universe was created. In fact, there’s...

Atheism as faith
Might as well bring this up while Twitter is all abuzz with #nogod. This is a frequent argument I have with my friends, and one I can never get anyone to agree with me on.
I assert that Atheism is just as much faith as any religion.
To assume that you know with no amount of uncertainty how The Universe was created and what will happen after you die is foolhardy. There’s only one way...

“The real question Americans are asking is, ‘What has President Obama actually...”
– RNC Chairman Michael Steele
Who could have predicted that the GOP would denounce something that is unequivocally good for America? Oh right. Everyone. (via ericmortensen)
The Republicans knee jerk reaction to anything positive under the Obama administration is so blatant it makes me wonder why we...

I’m feeling nauseous yet productive today. How does that work?
Like anything else. Let me know if you want some anti-nausea pills. I’ve got a whole bottle of them in the medicine cabinet.
Nice offer, very sweet, thanks. For as bad as I am to my body I don’t really ever do pills. I don’t even like taking asprin. I’ll suffer through with some...

Building Applications for the iPhone with Flash →

Mike Chambers:
(Flash CS5) will enable developers to create stand-alone iPhone applications using Flash technologies (including ActionScript 3). These applications are just like any other iPhone application and can be distributed via the Apple iTunes Application store. Indeed, there are already a number of applications created with Flash on the store today.

Average Person: Would you like to try some of this delicious pork?
Kosher Person: No, I cannot eat that because of my religious beliefs.
Average Person: Ok that makes sense. How about you?
Vegan Person: No I cannot eat that because I believe killing animals for food is immoral and a waste of resources.
Average Person: I think you are a tree hugging lunatic.
Vegan Person: FFFFFFFUUUUUUU!!
Let me let you in on a little secret...
If you’re trying to get my business, and you send me a meeting invite, don’t put my name or the name of my company as the subject. I already have 30 other “Blip.tv discussion” meetings in my calendar, yours doesn’t help to make your case as being different.
I hate to say it but...
I wish the KMart at Astor Place was a WalMart. Sure WalMart is evil, but they do a better job of serving the customer than KMart ever will. KMart has put zero thought into the location, it’s just a transplant of the same crap you’d find at any other KMart. When I went to the closest WalMart to Burning Man they had turned the whole store upside down making sure they had everything we...
