Rants

I recently found out that my Bye Bye Birdie/Mad Men comparison video on YouTube was taken down by Lion­sgate. What really got me angry is the fact that there are tons of other video clips showing the same exact one that I had shown, only they were even more useless. At least my video was a comparison between the Mad Men Patio Diet tele­vision adver­tisement and the actual intro­duction to the film itself.

I recently had said that I have a 90%+ success rate whenever I get a job interview. My friend second guessed me by saying that he assumes that the percentage is based on my confi­dence. I got slightly irri­tated. It’s not because I’m some hugely narcis­sistic dictator who demands completely loyalty of those around me, that they take my word blindly.

Suicide is a big deal. It’s important to me because it’s some­thing that is usually preventable. It’s also a topic that seems to bring out the worst in people as demon­strated by some of the commenters in this blog post I read today.

I had already written a rant about guys who write flir­ta­tious, needy, and otherwise very grov­eling remarks on any pretty girl’s YouTube video. Well, on Facebook, it’s no different. I cringe every time I see it done. It is incredibly embar­rassing. So much that I literally blushed in the privacy of my own home. I kid you not. I blushed. And […]

The video in itself is not what’s important. Rather, go view the comments. Or don’t. It’s a painful expe­rience. Here’s a sample of what I’m talking about… What, do you think this Ann is going to think you’re such a nice guy, that she’s going to send you a message over YouTube? wow ur cute you Look so Cute !

My Dell 2408WPF

This one’s gonna be a quick one. I got my Dell 2408WPF 24″ monitor today. Got it all nice and set up, now it’s my primary, with my old Samsung 906BW (2ms GTG TN panel). Every­thing is awesome about the monitor. Sure, there’s that very slight lag that has been reported. But I think that it’s a matter […]
