I made a caption this morning that I feel pretty much sums up Sarah Palin’s campaign so far:

I was traipsing all over my Livejournal last night ( that sounds like the start of a slash-fic ), reading some snippets from the past six years when I realized something.

Someone on reddit got VERY upset that I insulted his 9/11 Truther beliefs. He then wrote this comment, and deleted his account ( what a tough guy ).

Classy.
Especially for a self-absorbed, bigoted, hateful, arrogant, reactionary, frat-boy.
Oh, does your bride know what a fucking closet mysoginist you are?
Well, as Jeff Foxworthy says, someday you’ll be out on the sidewalk with half your shit.
Always interesting to find another opionated prick who knows nothing about history, but is first in line to belittle those who do.
Interesting in the way stepping in unseen dog waste is interesting.
Stick to programming and coding and casting aspersions at those in your line of work, tough guy, because you’ve already put a lot of your data out there.
And your (I drive a bimmer and shit all over everyone else) attitude won’t help you if someone is trying to run your arrogant ass off the road, now will it?

I dunno, Christy, do you know what an asshole I am? I think she’s said it probably 10,000 times since we’ve known each other.

And to the special Reddit poster of the above comment: Come find me, I dare you. I’ll put you in the ground, then create a false-flag conspiracy theory about it.

I’m back from ze wedding! Had a great time ( will post with lots O pictures soon ).

For now, a mini update: I came across a few awesome Super Mario favicons at Favicon.cc. Here are the previews, with a download at the end. You’ll notice I’m rocking the Boo right now.

Reddit rolled out a new feature today that grabs a thumbnail from the linked story and displays it next to the story headline.

Problem is, well, sometimes the algorithm doesn’t work *exactly* right:

After my 10/120 rule post became massively popular and drove tens of thousands of people to Kinderism ( and also almost killed our poor server ), I decided to revisit Leah Culver’s snarky “Get Over it”:


Ohhhh noeessss! Who’s internet famous now bitch?

Edit: We’re dead even! Come on internet machine, let’s start pumping some traffic in!

After analyzing the Kinderism logs, I’ve found out that this delightful comment WAS actually left by Miss Culver herself.

Granted, I drug her through the mud on the post, but that’s who I am and we all don’t expect anything else. In response to my criticism of her website and programming abilities, Leah took the high road and pointed out that I’m not as internet-famous as she is, and then suggested I get over it.

But, it’s true. I don’t have a vagina and a CS degree to flaunt, and it keeps me awake at night. If only there was someway to get a bunch of idiot Diggers to latch on to my every move, failure or not… hmm… I could possibly cater to the gay IT crowd? Maybe I should run a contest to etch corporate logos all over my bimmer?

It really hurts my soul that I’m not internet famous, but at least I’m not an egotistical bitch.

I think they spent so much time on the Firefox Download day they forgot to make the browser suck less than 2.0

After ten years of being on the ‘net almost 24/7, I acted like a n00b and infected myself with a computer virus.

I’m not 100% certain of the steps immediately before I got the virus/malware, but one did include hitting ‘unblock’ on a svchost process pop-up. I think the pop-up was actually fake and launched the downloader for the Antivirus XP 2008. My computer restarted immediately without warning, and this new happy program was letting me know that I had millions of infections on my computer, and my background picture was changed to a fake warning.

If you tell the Antivirus XP 2008 program to scan and delete, it will tell you that you need to buy the full version for $99. How quaint.

Instead of doing that, click this link and download Anti-Malware from Malwarebytes. Run a full scan, then remove the stupid program. Anti-malware will return your system to normal. I now swear by Adaware and Anti-malware, although hopefully I won’t click on a fake pop-up
