new blog post: HEY!

look guys, i know i get a decent amount of pageviews because i refresh my blog pretty often, like 50-60 times a day, and every time i do there are more page views. people are seeing this. but how do I engage with my blog readers?

maybe i need to have a contest. a competition. but that means i need a prize.

you know what, i probably have a prize. i should have a fricking contest! whoa. okay let me think about it.

any ideas? if you could choose to compete or otherwise enter and participate in a contest, what would it be? what are you best at? who is your enemy on geekhack? can we work in some sort of quest to vanquish an enemy to win the contest? jeez. this could get hairy. i think it's for the best. geekhack isn't hairy enough what with all that talk of fancy Shaving HairCuttery razorknives last year. whew am i glad that fad is over.

don't get me wrong i don't think beards are anything special either.

so what's it going to be? who wants to have a contest of some kind that involves vanquishing enemies and winning a Prize Item?

new blog post: friends and enemies

you guys! sometimes i think about if i had more enemies. would they attack my blog? what sorts of defenses are available for Blog Protection Softwear? who are the big names in Blog Protection Software Software Manufacturing? If I ask Norton will he come by to give a talk to the kids about blog safety?

sometimes i think the world would be a better place if i could punch a few people right in the jaw but i can't so i won't so it won't ever be.

who is your best friend? why is it me or the dog you picked?

new blog post: computing!

i'm not going to start off every blog post with the same thing, you guys!!!!
also, just because we're enough doesn't mean we shouldn't get high and drunk and think about sociology while reading about infosec **** on wikipedia.

anyways, i was just reading about capability-based security and followed a link to the Amoeba distributed OS. it got me thinking about all the privacy discussions we have these days and how different things would be if we still worked primarily with terminal-based systems rather than approaching that from a personal computing history.

i suppose data networking infrastructure would have had to have been developed a lot more extensively by the time PCs started to hit folks' houses for that to have been a real possibility. and of course now we have SaaS and cloud services and constant remote communication, but we cling to these supposed rights to privacy on our decks and expect the people who make money off of content delivery to benignly allow us to use their extensive and highly developed networking infrastructure without figuring out some ways to make it worth it to them.

i digress.
what do you think it would be like if we were all on dumb terminals? do you think we'd still be using mechanical keyboards even though there might be less in the way of personalization/customization? or do you think that MORE people might be into things like that BECAUSE your hardware would be the only thing up to you? do you think 'digital rental' and other DRM-type-related concepts would be as hated as they are if we had no local storage? do you think the ability to get persistent presence on the internet (as in, a VPS or server or network that is publicly accessible) would be more difficult? would the concept of personal storage be relevant or would we be relying on stratified storage of files via the providers of the services we use to manipulate them? should i go get a drink outside of my house and stop thinking about this?

baldgye · « **Reply #126 on:** Fri, 16 May 2014, 14:10:26 »

I think the step towards terminal computing becoming the norm has already happened and it's only a matter of time before we are all there. You only have to look at the huge sales of tablets, notebooks, chrome books and other small low powered devices.

Though I do think that PC gaming side of things will always exist as a local machine becasue it's an enthusiast market that drives competition and hardware advances. Mech's exist largely inside that market so I see no reason why they wouldn't continue to do so in the future.

new blog post: dang!

today i lost my flannel.

if you're from washington state you'll know what this means.

it's cool. it's gone. no big deal. the problem is that now i don't have a flannel. THE ideal layering component in my wardrobe. THE ideal component in my wardrobe.

basically what i'm saying is i'm TRYING to go out and get a drink but i can't figure out what to wear without my flannel in the mix. it really tied the room together and now someone is probably pissing on it.

you guys!!

As a resident of Washington (the state), I think you can also get away with this. Under a normal t-shirt (but the t-shirt should be printed with some sort of cryptic slogan).

Teh grunge. It survives.

If you had more and just left them behind then that totally makes sense, I forgive you, and I'm sorry for you.

But you should really buy more. And not lose them.

anyone can blog! everyone can blog! but only i actually blog. what's up with that?

but don't worry. as soon as someone figures out a way to make money off a blog, the aftermarket's gonna blow and then you'll see some new blogs on the market. with hype machines and everything!

the best part about that potential future reality is that those bloggers wont even have to do too much after they write their first posts. they can just change the font color and blog on a holiday and people will literally sew their mouths to their butts over it. or.. do.. this... whatever this is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1861F94wpSdKvVUNuLiP8n8Je7vJzqG5I2oHDkR_Ubxg/edit
