Edit: I regret my choice of words in this post (and in the title in particular); I wasn’t writing with my own voice; I was using the style of another popular blogger who was active around this time (not saying that I was writing this as a satire or parody; I literally was just that…

I have to say that I feel like the gay rights movement has come a long ways when the so-called “most hated family in America” is the Phelps clan of Topeka, Kansas.  For those unfamiliar, they’re these guys: What’s remarkable about this family is that they take gay hating so far, that nobody will even…

“Oh no he di’n’t!” I was having a civil conversation with some guy who was trying to explain to me how Apple would do much better business if they made cheaper computers (apparently in his universe Dell was kicking Apple’s ass in revenues, profit margins, and total cash on hand) and then he went and…

The Mac App Store is launching tomorrow, and it’s arguably the most exciting thing to have happened to Mac developers since XCode.  If you’re a tech enthusiast, it may be difficult to get excited about what is ultimately just a newly developed distribution system for the Mac apps we’ve known and loved for the past…

While our political airwaves keep getting cluttered with endless talking points about spending vs. providing government services, I can’t help but feel like it’s a giant facade covering up a very real deficiency of our government–one that has a very possible, and very simple solution.

It seems the US government is doomed to never learn from history.  Though I’m a little late to the party and the controversy du jour is probably soon to be replaced with another (remember how everyone was complaining about the TSA just a few weeks ago?) I have been pondering about this issue and I…

It’s a little bit mind blowing to me that two weeks ago was Thanksgiving day (edit: I started writing the post two days ago.).  I had to look at my calendar widget in disbelief to make sure I hadn’t missed a week in there, but no, it really has only been two weeks.  Since then…

Hello friends, If you closely stalk me on Facebook you are probably already aware that I am leaving the Midwest to go to California, where new opportunities await. If I didn’t get a chance to see you before leaving, I’m sorry; I really only ha a tiny bit of time to make this move. I…

As the trans day of remembrance passed by (not sure whether it was Friday or yesterday, but it did pass by), I’ve seen a few videos circulating through the interwebs on the topic of transphobia.  I really feel for my trans friends because they are very much the bastard children of the queer community, being…

When Apple announced that they were developing an App Store for desktop OS X (which I guess I can start calling OS X again now that iOS has a name now) reactions were pretty mixed, and there was a lot of concern.  Personally, I think this is going to really be a boon to OS…
