blech:

A white 500 pixel square JPEG with its colour data replaced by “lorem ipsum” in a hex editor. (Next time I’ll make it 512 pixels.)

Ironically, I had to export it as a PNG before Tumblr would accept it as a valid file to upload.

“While I agree that TIMTOWTDI is a Good Thing, many people don’t seem to understand what it means. It means that you can phrase a sentence in different ways. It doesn’t mean that there should be two different words for “owl”.”

“

The warrior closed his eyes, summoning the power of his ancestors, long departed but watchful still. And then with the echoing beep of his digital watch, he moved with deadly speed, wrapping his battle-hardened hands around the power cord at the back of the Router.

Gripping it tightly, he pulled with all his force, dislodging the cord from the Router. The heavens roared. The earth wailed. The green lights turned off. Silently the warrior counted. One. Two. Three. And just as swiftly, the warrior plugged the cord back into the router. Great crashes of blood-red lightning boomed overhead. Murders of crows blackened the skies. The Power light came on solid green. The seas rolled. The WLAN light blinked on. The forests ignited. A dark fog rolled over the land and suddenly all was silent. The warrior stared at the Internet light, waiting, waiting. And then, as the world around him seemed all but dead, the Internet light began to blink.

“

One of Izzy’s first assignments was to bust a Manhattan speakeasy that had a reputation for spotting revenue agents.

With his badge affixed to his coat, he asked the proprietor, “Would you like to sell a pint of whiskey to a deserving Prohibition agent?”

The bar owner laughed and served him a drink. “That’s some badge you’ve got there,” he said. “Where’d ya get it?”

“I’ll take you to the place it came from,” Izzy replied, and escorted the man to the station.

SOPA and PROTECT-IP offer hope in returning to the golden age of telecommunications, and to the days before the Information Superhighway polluted the online culture with this domain name nonsense. Let the Domain Name System a natural death and prepare yourself for the Internet Protocol Number (IPN) renaissance. All you need to do is start a notebook that lists electronic resource names and their corresponding IPN. And let the first entry in your notebook be

“Rory the Roman is an analogy for the relationship between the Scottish Rite and the Vatican. We might also note that, shortly after the appearance of Rory the Roman on the BBC, not one but two films were released by Hollywood, concerning the fate of the Ninth Legion in Scotland. One was entitled “The Centurion”, and the other, “The Eagle”. Both were Illuminati-sponsored productions and they are a must-see.”

“Actually the definition of “sandwich” is stretched at Nashville hot chicken joints, since the normal presentation is to drop this napalm poultry bomb on top of two slices of the spongiest white bread to soak up the drippings and top it with a couple of pickle slices—for absolutely no reason at all. After your second bite of hot chicken, you won’t be able to taste a pickle at all as the capsaicin rush activates your “fight or flight” response system, and your body screams for you to stop this punishment at the same time as your brain craves more of the endorphins generated by this plunge into the Maw.”

“His attack on other comedians is two-pronged: on the one hand, he criticises comedians who think political correctness has ‘gone mad’ and mistake offensiveness for ‘bravery’; on the other, he despises the observational comedy of Michael McIntyre et al. For this reason, white Brits have realised that they hate all other comedians, and are only able to enjoy Stewart Lee and Daniel Kitson.”
