Bored Young Skript Kiddies

October 28, 2008

From the article,
Chris Boyd from FaceTime said many of the young criminal hackers were undermined by their desire to win recognition for their exploits.
In other news, small boys and teenagers turn to whatever means are available to them in an attempt to prove their manhood.
Different cultures and societies measure manhood in different ways. Traditional metrics [...]

What an awful headline

October 26, 2008

‘Let the baby go,’ Jennifer Hudson’s sister says of missing son
What, she doesn’t have a name of her own? And who would file this story under “Arts & Entertainment?”
If the story isn’t noteworthy in and of itself (and it isn’t – it’s tragic, but not noteworthy) then don’t run it. If you find yourself miscategorizing [...]

Somewhat old timey movie review – One Eyed Jacks

October 25, 2008

If you only ever watch one movie directed by Marlon Brando, watch this one.
Why? Because Wikipedia tells us he’s only directed this one. Oh, and he took over from Stanley Kubrick. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
Yes, that 1961 classic, “One Eyed Jacks” directed by and starring (come on, you knew this was coming) [...]

This one is hilarious

October 22, 2008

I apologize, because you’ll first have to watch this one to gain the necessary background knowledge.

I found it revelationary.

I know they’re all sad, but…

October 19, 2008

This one is sad. 
The parents defended their son’s decision, saying he was “an intelligent young man of sound mind” who was “not prepared to live what he felt was a second-class existence”.
It doesn’t always matter whether or not we’re intelligent or of sound mind.
The article titles him as a “paralyzed rugby player”.
Now if, when you [...]

Bored young terrorists?

October 10, 2008

People turn to terrorism for social solidarity.
I’ve blogged about bored young men before.
But here’s a funny thing: If people turn to terrorism for social solidarity, because they are bored and alone…

Where do your namesakes live?

October 6, 2008

Apparently, you can find out at the World Names Profiler.
This is a nifty idea. It didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know about my surname (nearly exclusive to Great Britain and its colonies).
On a whim, I plugged in “Boateng”. Great Britain came up first. Who knew?
“Mensah”. Same thing.
Apparently West Africa is a giant hole [...]
