“Comcast, and its predecessor, AT&T Broadband, engaged in a series of unfair practices in the advertising and sale of its cable television services, including advertising limited time offers of free or reduced rate digital cable packages without adequately disclosing to consumers what the actual price of those services would be during and after the promotional period.”

Holy God, have any of you tried to read a column...
Want to get pissed off? Here’s a tip! Read any column on Pitchfork. I love that website, but Jesus H., what the fuck? Seriously, who writes this shit? I can’t believe how useless and unnecessary it is. Try reading the column on there today without wanting to drive your own head through a car window.

Jesus Chat (LINK) →
Oskey sent this link to me last week, and I forgot to throw it up (now it’s on Fazed.org) Hilarious stuff. It’s a bunch of quotes taken out of Christian chat rooms. Here’s a taste: “No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest “cover” of all, they insist they believe...
Sprint Nextel to cut 4,000 jobs as customers flee... →
Ok, a few things about this: 1. No fucking shit. Who didn’t see this coming. Name the last time you talked to someone who said: “I’m with Sprint, and I love it!” Seriously, I’d rather go to the DMV, I’d rather sit in a ER waiting room at 2AM on a Tuesday night, I’d rather work until 10PM, I’d rather go to Applebees for a steak than go to the Sprint...

I hate this guy’s column on Pitchfork (he tries way too hard, and his writing style is extremely annoying); however, his personal blog is a great little place to listen to a lot of great music. The guy posts a bunch of new songs (that you’ve never heard of/old and new) on there everyday. So, if you’re looking for new music, try this spot out.

Myspace No Longer.
I deleted my Myspace account today, and it felt great. You should do the same. Facebook forever.
TED, Ideas Worth Spreading (LINK) →
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). This site makes the best talks and performances...
It's 10:30PM, and I'm still at work.
Because someone else fucked up. This is bullshit. I don’t get paid for this. I don’t get overtime, and I’m not making commission on the project. I missed a half day of work to fly to NYC to see my brother, and the motherfuckers deducted my pay. Guess who won’t see any additional income on their next paystub for this little corporate sleepover? Everyone Else: “Welcome...

I sort of like my album cover meme. Give it a shot (reposted from my bro, Ryan). Pretty fun shit.

Besides the fear of death, is there any reason you still get up every morning? Are you planning for your future? Are you building up to something great? Where do you see yourself in five years? 10? 30? Are you retiring? Did you make enough? Who went on ahead of you? Did they deserve it? What sacrifices did you make? What dreams did you abandon? Where is your guitar? Your pen? Your suitcase? Is...
The Heat Is On: Evolution in Action →
Climate change has always acted as an evolutionary force on the planet. Some researchers even believe that adaptation to pre-historic climate change may have lead to the success of human beings as a species. So what’s different about the changes happening now? Extinction is more ordinary than we think. We’re all just species clinging to the edge of a life raft, and climate change has...
