The Middle East
Iran, the 400 point pink elephant in the room no one wants to talk about, that is unless you’re the media spending every waking moment obsessed with twitter pages of people claiming to be in Iran. Please don’t let twitter get in the way of real news regarding the actual state of Iran. [...]
The End of The Pirate Bay
The day has finally come to announce The Pirate Bay dead. It’s been years but just like the websites and programs before it now it will be forever remembered in the Wikipedia as the largest public bit torrent of our time. We will rebuild, and we’ll built it faster, stronger and more secure [...]
“Fictional” Police State
The very definition of irony
“Flying from Los Angeles to New York for a signing at Jim Hanley’s Universe Wednesday (May 13th), I was flagged at the gate for ‘extra screening’. I was subjected to not one, but two invasive searches of my person and belongings. TSA agents then ‘discovered’ the script for Unthinkable #3. They [...]
Good Morning
NPR had a great story this morning about Regina Spektor’s new album, it’s awesome.
The Pirate Bay has been denied a fair trial in Switzerland, that the judge being apart of the Swedish Copyright Association didn’t effect the verdict. However the pirate bay has fired back.
“The Pirate Bay will now file charges against Sweden for [...]

All About The Internet
Oh Seattle, how I’ll never understand why the only ‘choice’ we have for phone service is Qwest. In fact I just got off the phone with them, previously I was told 1.5mbps was the limit but now I’m told 5 mbps (which is less than speakeasy gives me and would come with a Windows [...]
Health Insurance
So I haven’t posted about this topic much since the debate between single payer vs. competition, I thought the debate was pretty much over when the voters choose competition over single payer in the democratic primary but apparently, this issue is still huge.
Now I’m a skeptic, I don’t think that if everyone was forced into [...]
Pesky First Amendment
As much as I would love for our government to take a moral stand against the atrocities of Iran it’s laughable to think our system is any better. As many of you probably know (and as I do too cause I have a pocket constitution I got from my trip) the first amendment gives [...]
I’m Back!
I made the flights all by myself just like a grown up, it was great. DC was great, I almost liked Baltimore better cause of Andrew’s friends however the weather was just crazy. I’m so excited about being back home, with my plants, and my 60% humidity. I’m going out tonight to [...]
Diamond in the Sand
I’ve not posted much about the protests of Iran, in fact I received a message from someone explaining to me the importance of spamming my facebook with information relating to Iran. He couldn’t tell me why it’s important to the people of America but that I should post it, because it’s important. He [...]
