About
This is my personal tumblog where I post (or more often, reblog) things that I find humorous or of interest.
I'm the founder and CEO of Spytap Industries, a company specializing in online content and social media strategies.
Previously, I helped create United Talent Agency's online division.
I'm unabashedly opinionated and be advised that I - being an adult - can and will use adult language...like the word "fuck." Debate - being a healthy expression of intelligence, logic, and reasoning - is encouraged.
Topics covered will include:
*Technology
*Social media
*The Entertainment Industry
*The intersection and interaction of all three of the above.
*Video Games.
*All things automotive, especially those automotive topics that can exceed 180MPH.
*The roles and influences of religion and atheism in the United States.
*Domestic and international politics.
Let me be explicitly clear though: the views and (occasionally overwrought) opinions contained herein are my own (or those of the commenters) and do not necessarily reflect those of any employer(s), coworkers, clients, friends, family members, significant other, or the guy on the bus/subway who rants about cheese.

"What the Right can’t get is that tyranny doesn’t come from government; it comes from the concentration of power. It makes no real difference whether the concentration is public or private. When power is concentrated in government, private interests become its puppet. When power is concentrated in private hands, government becomes its puppet. Either way, the people lose. The U.S. federal government was set up so that power would be diffused through the three branches and among Washington and the states, and in this way power in government wouldn’t concentrate in any one place and become too strong for citizens to control. But in their monomaniacal quest to destroy government in the name of “liberty,” the Right left government vulnerable to takeover by non-governmental powers that are not answerable to citizens at all. By fighting a phantom tyranny they have gone a long way toward creating a real one."

This is so astute, and I’d never put two and two together like this before.

Don’t worry Slippy. No one slipped an Indian coin into my drink last night.If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that I’m hilarious.
I just did an actual spit take all over my keyboard on this one.
Is it sad that instead of thinking of an actual currency, my mind immediately went to The Legend of Zelda?
"i will not advocate drug use but i will totally advocate drug use if you are in the habit of doing so with ageless almost spectral miners from Manitoba and korean law students drunk on life and Styx keyboard solos. because that is America. i dont know what your teacher told you in grade school about a bunch of white dudes with wigs and Cameo leggings; she was wrong and you have been lied to."

I AM CONSIDERING CUTTING MY OWN HAIR RIGHT NOW
How does it feel?
At 5’2” tall - I don’t scare many people. Which is too bad, because I feel like that would come in real handy sometimes.
But one thing that always kind of gets my goat is when I see men in the subway turn around and ogle women’s asses like it’s the first ass they’ve seen in their damn life. And the words “turn” and “ogle” don’t even capture it, because by “turn” I actually mean “very nearly break your neck through a rapid 180 degree motion that is then held at an extremely awkward angle” and it’s not so much “ogling” as it is “eye-fucking.”
With that said - I’ve invented a new game! What I like to do is stop dead in my tracks in front of the man and wait for him to pass, all the while staring him down. I make a real exaggerated show of letting him know I saw him and that I’m waiting for him to pass me. Then, I turn to face him even as he’s passed so that ass can’t get eye raped like the victim before me.
While you just might think this is grounds for me getting stabbed - and I’m sure one day it will - the great news is, it works! I can’t tell you how many grown men have lowered their eyes in shame and all but run past me. For someone so small, this is quite exciting.
Also, it’s a win-win! My ass gets to keep its dignity and now scores of you can give the police the story of why I wind up dead!
I feel like you’ve just presented a challenge to beta-males everywhere who - while they could never really pull off the true alpha-male open ass ogle - can now team up together to go for the “distracted female stares down beta-male-A, while beta-male-B gets an unobstructed tush eyeshot behind her” plan.
Later, to avoid one being too abundantly shamed by 5’2” “victims,” the betas can switch off, fully content that their combined brainpower and ability to work as a team will someday allow them to openly mock, and then fire the alphas from whatever peon job the betas so generously offered them.
I think we all learned a valuable lesson here folks.
3G Speed And Reliability Results By City
Percentage of 1-minute performance tests in which service was available, uninterrupted, and faster than dial-up speed:
- Verizon in NYC: 100%
- Sprint in NYC: 90%
- AT&T in NYC: 65%
It doesn’t just *seem* like AT&T only works half the time.

Uh, you check Portland and San Diego but not Los Angeles?
Not to be a LA douchebag, but strictly in terms of population and usefulness to more people: really?
Ugh, why do I get the feeling that within my lifetime I’m going to have to get used to the term “resource wars?”

I’m sensing this is one of those life-lessons that was learned the hard way.
