David Bullard plays Air Opinion
May|6|2007
Following the conversation from Vincent over here.
Nic over there.
And the original article over here.
Summary: David Bullard goes on a rant on how “blog sites” are sardonic, whimsical, pimply diaries held by similary pimply, geeky, sex starved kids.
David, do you have The Internet? It comes in a black box that you get from MWEB. Give me a call then we can help get you off that 56k modem. (Pronounced Mow-dehm).
Firstly, you start off on completely the wrong foot. By even mentioning the words “Blog Sites” we automatically know that you don’t have a clue what you are talking about. It’s that easy.
Then, your vested interests are obvious. You are a columnist at a large magazine and enjoy front page popularity. You are in a very privileged, but threatened position. You command a monopoly on a scarce resource: opinion space in a national newspaper. However, blogging gives voice to a 19 year old who has just as much as you to say and could probably say it much better. He doesn’t have that cigar stuck in his face all the time and can talk much clearer. But I’m getting nasty. There are millions of columnists out there who can do your job just as good. Blogging flattens that hierarchy that currently exists in print media.
You can’t cope with the competition. That’s what it boils down to. Pity, I enjoyed your column and probably will still in the future (although I don’t read it that often as it isn’t in a nice RSS feed), you’ve just lost some points now.
And no, it’s not sad when someone actually reads them, it’s sad when someone comments on something that he doesn’t know anything about. You show your ignorance (arrogance I have no problem with). How about joining the conversation? You have just continued playing air guitar, only now extended it to opinion. You still can’t do if you don’t actually use the tool.
I’m sure the guys at Econtalk.org would love to know what you think. Maybe tell the people at TED as well. Oh, Ars Technica would love to hear it.

And now, take a look at their site:
Not only ugly as sin, but also automatically condeming you as a friggin mass murderer. Shees I just don’t understand it…

Phew! Finally I’ve managed to put together a mix that I think is worthy for spreading. You can get the whole mix over here. There are some pops and whistles here and there where my recording equipment tweaked out, but it’s still listenable. I’ll post a track listing as soon as I think it’s ready. For now I want to keep it a secret 
Get the mix.

Bibles don’t work…Laptops do

I loved this little piece, it reminded me of that story about the Bible that saved some guy in war when he was shot in the chest:
We have heard of U.S. soldiers taking a bullet for a fellow soldier, but now a new friend took a bullet for a U.S. soldier in Iraq.The CF-M34 Toughbook laptop you see in the photo above has a bullet hole which shows just how tough it is as it took a bullet for a U.S. soldier in Iraq.
The BULLETPROOF laptop from Panasonic was the constant companion of one soldier and was taken through the mountains of southeastern Turkey and into the war of Iraq.
The need for rugged laptops is growing, used by the U.S. armed forces (the 82nd Airborne Division) and it was one of these laptops that saved a soldier’s life,An estimated market of $858 million in 2007 is expected for the need of the toughest laptops, people want toughness and the need is growing.
and then from Digg:
“Hi I’m a mac”
“And I’m a PC. And organizations such as the United States Military use me in hazardous environments.”
“Well, people use me to do stuff too. You know, freelance journalism, freelance design, freelance… You know, freelance stuff.”
“I was built to withstand even the harshest weather and conditions. Once, I took a bullet for my user.”
“I was built to look pretty. And once I made my user cry after my screen got scratched.”
“Sounds like you’re quite the asset.”
“Yeah thanks, I know. Want me make you a soldier at war blog or design a sticker for your peripherals ?”
“No.”

From Mentalfloss:
The Domain: Chessboxing
The Master: Bulgarian Tihomir Titschko is currently the European chessboxing champion—and, because the sport hasn’t really spread to other continents, that makes him the de facto world champ. Chessboxing starts with a four-minute round of chess, followed by a two-minute round of boxing, and then it’s back to the chess. A judge decides the winner after 11 rounds (six of chess and five of boxing), unless the match is stopped first by a knockout or checkmate. And if you’re thinking Lennox Lewis could probably beat Bobby Fischer at chessboxing, you’re right. While it’s important to be not horrible at chess, it’s more important to know how to survive in the ring.
That one’s for you Niel

This is crazy….
Meanwhile, Mr. Garrison, tired of the inefficient and frustrating airline check-ins, decides to invent his own vehicle. Inspired by watching singer Enrique Iglesias’s sexualized singing on TV and by gyroscopes, he invents the gyroscope-powered monowheel “IT”. “IT” can go up to two hundred miles per hour,
gets three hundred miles to the gallon and is an all-around a better
mode of travel. The only problem is that it is controlled by an
uncomfortable method; using four handles that somewhat resemble erect penises; two used by the hands, one in the mouth and a fourth handle which is inserted into the anus.
Despite this unorthodox control mechanism, it is still considered
better than the airlines and Mr. Garrison is a smashing success. Even
aviation enthusiast John Travolta decides that “IT” “beats dealing with the airline companies.”
The second is the Hyperbike….
Apparently some people are of the opinion that the bike needs
re-engineering. The folks at Body Rite Ltd., a New York State outfit,
have thus given us this: The Hyperbike. What’s wrong with normal bikes, you say? Yeah, we were wondering, so here’s their take:
The conventional bicycle is unstable and dangerous on the
road. The rider is vulnerable in traffic no matter how experienced. It
is the height of danger to be balanced on two inch-wide tires with
nothing between the driver and road objects.
The guy is looking for “A couple of million” to get production up and running. Hahahah!!! Sorry dude.

Van Push Play
This swinging spoof of Ian Fleming’s spy hero concerns an aging James Bond (David Niven), reluctantly dragged out of retirement to face down the evil crime clique called SMERSH. In order to confound the enemy, the Secret Service sends five other agents, also under the name “Bond,” and all six converge on the titular casino. Woody Allen, as the retiring superspy’s nephew, causes havoc, while a flood of famous faces (and directors) revel in the silliness. And there’s a great Burt Bacharach score to boot.
