Commented on Review: Two Days w/the Santos Vac Pot [Verdict: Good Sucker]
I've got one of these. I call it "the super awesome coffee bong". It's really more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. I've used it maybe a total of 10 times in 2 years. It's super delicate...

Commented on It's 2009 and the L.A. Times is still treating geeks as mysterious others

Commented on We may or may not have refreshed <em>BBG</em>
As long as the articles and the commentary are up to snuff the look of the site would have to get pretty ugly for me to go away. I've been reading BoingBoing in various formats and flavors since the 'zine...

Commented on EFF: Facebook private message censorship may break law
I don't see how it's breaking any law. Facebook isn't a publicly funded entity. They could block all messages using the word "brown" if they really wanted to. It's their network. It's up to them to determine what they want...

Commented on Cupertino's tablet netbook: just a concept?
I'll take one of those with an 8 1/2 x 11 or 1280 x 720 screen any day. It's exactly the form factor I'm looking for. Of course, that' why we'll never see one. They aren't allowed to make what...
