It’s like social media to them. My mom is great because we’ve been pretty open about what I auto-delete and what I actually read so she…

Three Diaspora Tutorials to Get You Started Right
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Thu, 10/13/2011 I found that I was posting this too much and it was annoying copying and pasting all these links, so here is a funkly little static page that has all the funkly little linkies that you can simply short-link and tweet to your buddy and your gramma. Hope it adds value to your life…
Diaspora – Social Media that Actually Excites Me
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com at Sun, 10/02/2011 – 21:09 Finally. After what seems like years, I got my invite to sign up at Diaspora. The coolest thing to me is that you probably don’t even know what it is yet. Don’t worry – people like me will spread the news quick. In a few words, it’s a dumbed down version…
Cutting Out the Rust
rusty <–CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS POST. RIGHT CLICK ‘SAVE LINK AS’ WORKS TOO. One of my fondest ever memories is that of my 1977 Honday Civic. This thing was dope. Four speeds, a super long stick shift, felt like you were going 200K on the highway when you were actually going 85, and had those…
When to Fight and When to Fold ’em
I’m not a fighter. If someone were to attack me I would just curl up in a ball and try to protect my vital organs. I tried Tae Kwon Do to remedy that back in high school but I still find it easier to curl up in a ball. I’m not lazy, but I just figure even dirtbags would feel…
Our Generation: Dude, somebody should probably go save her.
So I’m reading a news article (rare) when I come across this article about some chick (is that politically correct?) who got swept away (literally). I think the point of the article was to confirm that the woman didn’t end up falling off the corner of the earth but it got me thinking about the true meaning of this video. …
Why the Crapital Letters?
So there I am typing an email to someone who sits somewhere between a friend, an acquaintance and a business partner. I had begun the email typing very quickly, not even taking the time to hit the shift key to capitalize his name. At the end of the email, as is customary, I nailed the shift key and typed my…
If you Care about Freedom, Ramp up your Ham
I think it’s interesting how most people who claim to care about freedom don’t have a ham radio (amateur radio) license, especially you folks in open source. You reject and rebel against the Monopolists in Redmond and the Fruit Devices from Cupertino recognizing that they are dictating how you will and will not use the thing you are spending all…
How do you pronounce the word Ubuntu?
First, why does it matter? One time a woman named ‘Pam’ got very angry at me for calling her ‘Pamela’. It didn’t matter to me, but it mattered to her. It’s kind of like when you’re talking on your phone really loudly but don’t realize it until other peoples’ eye daggers start piercing your vital organs. It’s kind of like…
May I Take Your Order?
I was trying to take a break today from my week-long prolific string of posting but I was reminded of this Chinese Menu that some dude had found in China. I only remember laughing so hard that I almost peed myself. You have to understand that it’s rare that something makes me laugh that hard. I went on a search…
