We have a free weekly paper here called, ironically enough, The Other Paper – as it’s an alternative to the Dispatch, which has been around since Jesus’ time. Yes, I still occasionally read a dead tree publication, especially when it doesn’t put all of it’s printed articles online. One such article in the City Beat section […]

Time Warner Putting a Crap on Bandwidth
Posted by RevMortis on January 28th, 2008
Ok, it’s ‘up on the soapbox’ time. You’ve probably heard the scuttle about Time Warner announcing plans to implement a tiered pricing structure for cable internet access based on bandwidth usage. The plan as they explain it is to charge users who go over a certain limit more as they’re using more of the resources, […]

Posted by RevMortis on January 27th, 2008
I read somewhere this week, at Http://www.mediapost.com I think but could’ve been elsewhere (I read a lot of webpages each day), an interesting discussion about the Al-Qaeda terrorists who carried out the 9-11 attacks as having been motivated in part by a promise of 72 virgins in the afterlife.  Most of us have heard this […]

So among the many things that have made my world a little more interesting over the past few days, I had to pick up my new glasses tonight. Probably the last pair I’ll ever have that aren’t bifocals (or so the Doc told me). Getting old sucks. Not that I was ever a chick magnet, but bifocals […]

Posted by RevMortis on January 16th, 2008
Ok, I may be the dumbest man on earth but I’m probably not alone. “I ain’t Legend” to play off the title of Will Smith’s new movie.  Anyhow, here’s what I mean. I was perusing CD listings on Ebay yesterday, and noticed that several of them contained an unusual designation of [PA] in the product title. […]
