Commented on Treehugger profiles off-gridders Abe and Josie about their desert homestead
Why is there a rope tied to the shovel in the picture? I can't figure it out for the life of me....
Commented on Cthulhu ski-mask
Please please please release a pattern for that. That is brilliant....
Commented on Wikileaks reveals secret blacklist behind proposed Great Firewall of Australia
Big step in the right direction that we now have something concrete to show people how much of a bad idea this is. The censoring hasn't started in Australia yet, but I still can't load wikileaks.org Thing is, I can't...
Commented on Kangaroo Court: a video explaining New Zealand's new "guilt-on-accusation" anti-Internet law
Pedantic, I know, but there aren't any roos in NZ as far as I'm aware. Just wallabies....

Just security theatre. Albeit a particularly theatrical breed of it....
Commented on Why the "mobile Internet" is a poor investment

Thebes commented on Treehugger profiles off-gridders Abe and Josie about their desert homestead
Early adopters? I know people who've lived off-grid with solar electric for over 20 years. My wife and I have since 2002, and have had off-grid internet through one means or another for most of that time. Both my wife and I work from home and have relied on the internet and cellphones for our livelihood.

Now, the bad parents.... I've seen some...
