Customized

The more I compute, the more I realize it’s going to be hard to compute in a different way.

The keyboard that I use, the shortcuts that I memorize, the Vim scripts that I invoke… all of it is becoming a crutch.

But really, I can’t shun all these things because there is a possibility that all of these things will fall apart. I’d have to go back to using paper, and trying to exist in a time where computers didn’t exist.

But what about when papers didn’t exist? Oh dear, I’m taking it too far.

I think the post-apocalypse world scenarios feel a bit too real to me.

But it’s these things that make me worried in some ways: How much are we dependent on technology? On the frameworks we create awesome things with?

I need to stop asking these questions, unless I can somehow get paid for it, because it’s taking up too much of my time.

Zediva Ruling

This is bullshit. Techdirt has more.

Firstly, Zediva had the innovative genius to come up with such an idea because of the bullshit state copyright is in this country, no thanks to the amazing people at MPAA.

So why isn’t Blockbuster being sued?

Zediva will fight on.

“Zediva intends to appeal, and will keep fighting for consumers’ right to watch a DVD they’ve rented, whether that rental is at the corner store or by mail or over the Internet.”
