Keraunophobics Anonymous

I spent all day reading fashion blogs and now I’m too paranoid to wear anything in case the collar is the wrong shape or the pattern makes me look like I have an erection.

Problems with Stand Up Comedy

I’d like to do a stand up comedy routine which starts of annoyingly generic:

Any of you guys ever seen the Teletubbies? What the fuck is that about right?

And then without warning becomes a brutal tirade against the Java programming language.

Bet the people who made the Teletubbies were well high, just like the people at Sun Microsystems when they invented Java. Am I right? What the fuck is that fucking language about? Virtual Machine? Is that why it runs so slow? Because it’s running on imaginary hardware? What the fuck? Every class passes by reference? Ever heard of call by value, you fuckin’ idiots.

I gotta give it credit though, I gotta give Java some credit. It is portable. It is portable but why the hell would you want to run a fucking Java application on more than one computer? I can’t see it, I honestly don’t know. People keep telling me ‘It’s the most used programming language in the world though.’ So what? In my book, being the most used programming language in the world puts you right up there with the most used operating system in the world. Am I right? Eh?

I instantly realized that everything in my life that I’d thought was unfixable was totally fixable—except for having just jumped.

velvetrobots:

There comes a time in every geek’s life when he finds himself alone and has to ask himself:

Have I gone too far ahead, or have I been left behind?

But the most painful question to ask, really, is…

Why is no one here with me?

The experiment of Lijun Wang might also give the appearance of causality violation since it made it possible to send packages of waves through a bulb of caesium gas in such a way that the package appeared to exit the bulb 62 nanoseconds before its entry.
