My brain is feeling moderately zombified today and there’s nothing good on the Internet right now, so I’m just going to kind of freestyle it…

First, a rather hilarious “interview” of Serj Tankian:

Next up… things that make me want to scream:

1. Politicians that pander on issues that truly matter.  Think Obama and his “tar sands” or McCain and his battery.  First off, batteries may not be the best way to move a car - BMW has been doing some incredible work with capacitors.  Secondly, is it really less environmentally friendly to pull oil out of some tar about a thousand miles north of us and pipe it down than it is to pull it out of the Middle East and ship it across the world?  How much longer are the American people going to find this environmentalist kneecapping of our gas prices tolerable?  People are environmentalists when they’re rich.  When they’re not, they tend to have a “I’m looking out for number one” policy.  The sickest part is that this pandering actually works - if it didn’t, they wouldn’t do it.
2. 9/11.
3. I need to get to bed earlier.
4. 9…
5. I don’t know if it’s the mild sleep deprivation or an actual problem, but it certainly seems like parts of my job are becoming increasingly complicated.  There used to be a time when it actually seemed that software writers were trying to make administrators’ lives easier.  Whether they were getting there or not, who knows?  But, it at least looked like they were trying.  However, as of late, I’ve seen weird package after annoying package that just jumps the level of needless complexity up a notch.  I don’t know why they’re doing it.  I don’t know who’s telling them it’s a good idea.  All I know is that, if somebody actually starts making some easy-to-use software that doesn’t throw around random roadblocks and call them “features”, they’re going to make a lot of money.
6. 11!
7. That’s all I have.

With that… I am done.
