Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Here’s another entry from the “Would you please just GO AWAY” department. A group in Minnesota is protesting the Minnesota Twins’ plan to give away GI Joe doll to kids. I’m so blind with irritation over this, I don’t even know where to begin my rant. People like this just need to GO AWAY. It’s […]
Signed up for Gmail this morning. It’s got some interesting ways of dealing with email. But I wondered how fast it would take to fill up the thing with spam, so if you’re reading this, send me some spam here: ilovespam@gmail.com :)
As anyone local here in the Dallas area knows, over the weekend, there was a story where a 4 year old got trampled (at least pushed, not really “trampled”) by some jackass who was going after a foul ball. He wouldn’t give it back to the kid, he got booed by the fans, the in […]
Uh, what’s with Eddie Van Halen’s hair? http://www.vhnd.com/articles/040603-01.shtml (More pictures here)

Six Apart issued v3.0 of their Movable Type blog software today. They’re charging now. Everyone freaks the hell out cuz they have to pay now. Oh Waaaah. A company releases software that got to be really REALLY popular. A community grows, and it becomes really popular. Then said company releases a new version and wants […]
I’m a big fan of iTunes. I think it’s got a great interface, the software is slick, and I can find tunes for a buck. That’s a great deal, IMHO. However, I ran across a link that is an iMix of songs that are for sale on iTunes that are blank! The fact that empty […]
I was poking around and ran across this extremely funny news story over on Wil Wheaton’s blog about the original Star Trek TV series. One of the things that modern Trek fans don’t like about the original is the special effects, so I saw this story, and then I found out it was a joke. […]
