Metafilter sock puppets

If I had an unlimited number of $5 bills for purposes of creating sock puppet accounts on Metafilter, here are some that I would buy: Lurking Wedgie Shit Threader SuckPoppet Eponymous Police Ooo’er. I already have the last two. More to come, I’m sure…

Pandora’s Pandora

The best marketing gimmick the folks at Pandora Radio have for Pandora One? Regular old vanilla Pandora radio. Bought my subscription just a bit over a year ago and in a cost cutting move elected to not renew the subscription. How bad could it possibly be? Dumb question. Really bad. I renewed.

As seen on Metafilter…

Reading this thread, I came across an exchange that amused me for some reason. After back-and-forthing for a bit we get to the endgame: valkyryn: All I can really say is “I object to just about everything about the way that you see the world” and leave it at that. VikingSword Agreed. Not sure if…

2NP6 Coffeenomics

Historically: Three coffee pots, two regular and one decaf = one half-filled decaf, one empty regular pot sitting on a burner that is on and one nearly empty regular pot This week: Two coffee pots, one regular and one decaf = one half-filled decaf and one regular with barely enough coffee to cover the bottom…

While at lunch…

Passed by some teapartier peeps on my way to lunch today. Reading their signs reminded me of a little poem I have hanging on my cubical wall.

A New Address?

Just finished applying for a vanity call sign from the FCC. Here’s to hoping KD0INM becomes N0FEZ. Figured a new physical address is all the excuse I need for finally pulling the plug on my assigned call sign. I’ve never really cottoned to it because it is often confused with my call sign neighbor KD0INN…

Dear Omaha

When you close a lane of traffic for road repairs, you should probably conduct those repairs in a timely manner. The roadway is for traffic, not for construction equipment storage. Love, A Concerned Motorist

Chewing Rags

After not a whole lot of talking on the mobile (and my only currently functional) rig in the last month, I’ve had a couple of good chews in the last 24 hours. First I hooked up with my pops (KD0INW) last night on 2 meter. He was in Lincoln and I in Bellevue. We used…

Most Convincing Spam Yet

In the past I’ve often remarked that spammers must be stupid because they generally commit some silly, obvious error when forging an email.
