• In a Benign0 State of Mind

  
  Filipino Voices — Authority: 499
  Cynicism is a function of alienation. When one no longer considers oneself part of a something, when one no longer has or no longer cares to have a stake in a system, then one can afford to be cynical. In the cold embrace of cynicism one is insulated from dashed hopes and impossible expectations. Cynicism is the ...

• Positive Cynicism - What I’m thankful for

  
  HoboTrashcan — Authority: 427
  Aaron R. Davis I don’t really do the holidays. It’s not that I’m some kind of lone wolf, proud of my isolation from family and friends as they go about the greeting card industry-mandated motions and expend the energy and tension necessary to have some vaguely unsatisfying holiday-like experience. And ...

  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  What with a boondoggle to the campus of the Black Warrior to abuse large children Lecture graduate students, [1] and the early observation of Dinosaur Day to accommodate the complexity of obligations among family members, [2] I didn;t get an opportunity to collect up the articles of note that had accumulated over ...

• Building Business Success Through Outsourcing

  
  Free Internet Marketing Information — Authority: 162
  Outsourcing is no stranger to controversy. Ever since Russell Kelly Office Services paved the way for onshore outsourcing in 1946, onshore and offshore outsourcing have had their fair share of critics. It used to be an issue of exploitation of cheap labor for personal business gains. Then companies themselves ...

• Going to the Dogs

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  My recent visit to the campus of the Black Warrior has provoked some consideration of accidental (?) correlations. Two in particular have been of high density in these: hush puppies; and food. I quite recognize that the average Southron will admonish that hush puppies are food and one of its highest forms, for both ...

• Are you like a zombie bank? Zombie life on borrowed time and money (Part Three)

  
  flowing motion — Authority: 437
  Are you sleep walking through your life? Well are you alive? Do you have pulse? At best, are you sleep walking through life? Are you wandering from one thing to another not particularly enthused by anything, maybe grumbling when you have a chance, spreading your vague dissatisfaction but wishing you weren’t? ...

• MultiTool

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  As a younger man I was a devotee of the action television program “McGyver”. One of the thematic cornerstones of this program was that the protagonist would haul out his Swiss Army knife, one of the simpler ones, and perform some necessary task to accomplish a technological nexus. This was one of the less ...

• Oh Woe Is Oprah

  
  Ian Bogost — Authority: 416
  A Billionaires Blight — Am I missing something here? Oprah, who has a net worth of roughly $2.5 billion and can do whatever she wants, is crying and soul searching because she is ending her talk show so that she can restart it on her own cable network?... ( read more )

• On Hallowed (?) Ground

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  Wonderful day yesterday, both exhausting and exhilarating. S tarted the day driving across the campus of the Black Warrior to the new chemistry facility. Its entrance is a stately three story rotunda lacking only a proper statue of its benefactor and namesake, probably something on the order of that Romanesque statue ...

• The Path of Croxton

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  Blogging is a bit slack, I know. Yesterday I had rather a bit of running about so that today FD SCP and I can motor down to the campus of the Black Warrior. I have an invited appearance to enlighten graduate students. Fear that this will be more of a mouse-in-a-maze ( not I’itoi [Link] ) thing rather than a ...

• Research Result

  
  Unruled Notebook — Authority: 100
  Drenching and indulging in such droplets from the ocean of knowledge, what is the use of my research to humanity? Parents remain oblivious of it, faces of kith and kin remain nonplussed. Conclusions from my research don’t reduce the auto fare of my next city travel. So is the unbudging gasoline fare. Global warming ...

• Positive Cynicism - Spoiler alerts and Internet crybabies

  
  HoboTrashcan — Authority: 427
  Aaron R. Davis I was a bit miffed this week by an article on /Film entitled Spoiler Alert: The Responsibility of Online Writers in a Hulu/DVR World . In the post, writer David Chen took online critic Jace Lacob of Televisionary to task over his response to an incident where Jace had allegedly “spoiled” ...

• Walker, Through Vetoes, Shows His Inability To Lead

  
  Cognitive Dissidence — Authority: 553
  Scott Walker issued his vetoes today, and they are absolutely mind-boggling in their ineptitude and utter foolishness. First, Walker vetoed a resolution calling for a study into the viability of providing health care benefits to the domestic partners of eligible county employees. Supervisor Chris Larson decried ...

• My Best, Your Worst

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  The WIRED folks have put out an article [Link] entitled “Best Sci-Fi Flicks of the ’60s, ’70s, According to You”, which is fairly descriptive. About all it really seems to do is illustrate how absolutely WRONG surveys can be. The movies cited are: La Jetée (1962) Missed this one somehow. No comment. ...

• Now On My Shitlist: Roland Emmerich.

  
  Blast-O-Rama — Authority: 434
  It takes a lot for me to want to make a filmmaker to go away and die. The latest to enter that very short list, Roland Emmerich . Sure, I like a lot of people, enjoyed Independence Day . It was a fun, escapist Fourth of July flick. I even liked Stargate ! But since then, oh how his filmography just wore through ...

• Trencher Trash Talk

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 128
  One of the things I have been mulling this week arises from a rather under-discussed bit on the Guardian Science podcast. It seems the English government climate tzar, Lord Stern, has announced that it is necessary for humanity to become vegetarians to ’save the planet’. [Link] I almost missed this on the ...

• The Seth Macfarlane Code: DECRYPTED

  
  Blast-O-Rama — Authority: 434
  I like Seth MacFarlane a lot.  Dude seems like a great guy, seems to be having the time of his life, and despite what his cartoons may make you believe, he comes across as a super intelligent guy. Heck, even during an episode of the Adam Carolla Podcast , I realized – he and I may not be that different ...
