Finger challenged women are complaining about the iphone because their uglyass [fake] long nails prevent them from using the touchscreen comfortably.

Oh man, this is too much. What’s next, people who wear their hair down at shoe level will complain that it gets messed up because the street is dirty?

One clever missy has the answer, though.

I wouldn’t go as far as to call it misogyny, but it sure is annoying. They should just do what I do, keep one fingernail short for hindrances such as this.

I wrote a guest blog for Rami, which I submitted to reddit. The same exact story was submitted on reddit by someone else, in the same category, mere hours after I did.

Suppose we had a dialog box for adding new words, what would it look like?

The age old tradition of mock dialogs continues…

Ps. Qt Designer on the whole is quite nice to work with, quite a bit better than Glade. Any gui designer is bound to be annoying, but I suppose Qt Designer is approaching the least annoying (and most effective) you can get.

A local area man was brought up on stabbing charges today, after alarmed neighbors called the police about “sounds of violence” in the adjacent building. Officers arrived on the scene too late to intervene, but found the man in a state of exhaustion, clutching a screwdriver through a glove.

The man did not deny the charges, but upon inquiry, alleged the victim had “evaporated”. The police forensic outfit failed to turn up any traces of a struggle.

The case was presumed insoluble until an amateur videotape surfaced, showing the man repeatedly stabbing his refrigerator. The victim is now suspected to have been a large block of ice, alleged to have made “unwelcome advances” toward the man’s groceries, according to testimony.

When asked why he didn’t simply empty the refrigerator and de-ice, the man stated that course of action could have caused “a diplomatic incident” due to the vast amounts of food products distributed among many owners.

Popular outrage broke out when police officials declined to hold the man. In a press release, the commissioner responded citing “acts of violence committed against elementary particles and their fundamental compounds does not constitute a felony in the greater state of Metropolis”. Animal rights groups were soon to renounce the decision, warning that this was setting “a dangerous precedent”.

The man was released this afternoon after paying a fine for Indecent Culinary Conduct.

Bill Maher is an atypical comic in that he’s a public person as well. He isn’t trying to play the part of a comic, and nothing more, or to play several discrete roles, and that’s it. He’s rather open to be engaged on anything. On his show he invites people whom apparently he respects a lot, but sometimes it really gets into a heated argument, they don’t shy away from it. There is a lot of authenticity about him, less theater. And rather than a performer, he’s more just about talking his mind.

So by that he is a rather well rounded character, which I think helps him as a stand-up. And above all, he’s very good at telling a story. And that’s what he does on stage too, he tells stories in a very relaxed and natural way, it really doesn’t seem scripted. They are funny, but they aren’t really sound bites either, they aren’t manufactured to be funny word-for-word, it’s the content that counts. And that’s a different way of telling a joke than comics usually do, because they put every effort into wording it best. And they do that because they don’t have the wealth of material that Maher does, or at least it appears so. He can easily go off on a little tangent, be funny, then return to where he was and continue with ease. He has that kind of coherence and clarity that not many people have.

But the funniest thing about him is that he’s not really trying to be funny on purpose. The stories he tells are funny, but they aren’t really jokes, they are just stories, presumably true most of them too. He’s not really playing for laughs, it seems, because what he has to say is funny enough. And that’s pretty confusing, cause you can’t quite figure out how it works.
