Ron Paul Krugman
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Hey, did you know that Ron Paul is having a money bomb on April 15? Btw, Ron Paul money bomb on the 15th of April. Ron Paul, money bomb, April 15
Monday, April 9th, 2012This is an e-mail one of your editors received from the Ron Paul campaign. I think there will be a money bomb on April 15th, but it’s hard to tell from the language of the e-mail–though maybe the P.S. is trying to say something. It’s interesting to note that Ron Paul is still playing up the delegate strategy, and, as of a speech he gave in Berkeley last week, he still sounded very confident about his prospects. Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich is talking about his campaign in the past tense. We’ll see what happens in Tampa, which is after the money bomb on the 15th (btw).
….
If the establishment had its way, there would only be one Republican left in this race – and the National Convention would just be a massive rally for Mitt Romney.
There would be no talk about individual liberty. No mention of trillion-dollar deficits, real spending cuts, and the out-of-control Federal Reserve.
And there would be no questioning the cost of utopian nation-building schemes or policing the world.
But thanks to your hard work and dedication to the cause of liberty, the establishment isn’t getting its way.
Not this time.
I’m planning to take my campaign to Restore America NOW all the way to Tampa, Florida, for the Republican National Convention.
But to do so, my campaign must have the funds to continue picking up delegates all across the country.
So can I count on you to help me fight all the way to the National Convention bypledging to make a generous contribution to my campaign’s Money Bomb on April 15?
So far, my campaign’s delegate strategy has paid off.
Dedicated supporters of mine have been turning out at their local caucuses and conventions to run as delegates to their Congressional District or State Conventions – where National Delegates will be elected.
It’s these delegates who will choose the Republican nominee at the National Convention in August.
That’s why it’s absolutely crucial my campaign has the funds to continue organizing and winning delegates in many states around the country.
And there are also important primaries in Texas and California coming up where hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs.
That’s why I’m counting on you to pledge to contribute to my campaign’s Money Bomb on April 15.
You and I have fought tooth and nail against the establishment for nearly an entire year now.
And the most important battles are happening right now.
So please, help me take my campaign to Restore America NOW to the Republican National Convention by pledging to make a generous contribution to my upcoming April 15 Money Bomb.
Let’s take our fight all the way to Tampa.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. My campaign is holding a Money Bomb on April 15.
With the Republican National Convention fast approaching, my campaign must have the funds to continue winning delegates in many states all over the country.
So please pledge to contribute to my Money Bomb on April 15 to help me take our fight all the way to Tampa!
“Googlebot ignores crawl-delay ftl”
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012It sometimes pays to read a website’s robots.txt file, as it may contain rather funny comments about particular bots. Case in point, Twitter’s robots.txt:
http://www.twitter.com/robots.txt
#Google Search Engine Robot User-agent: Googlebot # Crawl-delay: 10 -- Googlebot ignores crawl-delay ftl Allow: /*?*_escaped_fragment_ Disallow: /search Disallow: /*? Disallow: /*/with_friends

# Every bot that might possibly read and respect this file.
FTL may mean one of two things: “faster than light” or “for the lose.” I am going to guess that since this likely has to do bandwidth usage, it is the latter.
Because here are at Kitsch-Posh we are all about TEH OPEN INTERWEBZ RDY 4 UR CRAWLING, here is our robots.txt file:

Kitsch-Posh EXCLUSIVE: Inside the SFO Yoga Room
Thursday, February 16th, 2012San Franciso International Airport recently unveiled a Yoga room, which is being called the first of its kind anywhere in the world.
One of your editors flew out of SFO on Thursday and had a chance to visit the Yoga room. How was the experience, you ask? Well, the pictures speak for themselves. Please note that the lights for the $15,000-$20,000 room went on and off at random intervals:
P.S.: No one bothered me as I was taking the pictures inside and outside of the room, even though I was next to the security checkpoints, looked young and somewhat middle-easternish, and only had a backpack on me. AMERICA!
P.P.S.: The plane from SFO to LAX was over 20 minutes late thanks to Obama Jam.
P.P.P.S.: No Yogic Flying, sadly.
Is Andrew Breitbart coming to take us down?
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Breitbart, editor for the Drudge Report and a media figure in his own right, confronted Max Blumenthal at CPAC over Blumenthal’s article on James O’Keefe (summary: the dude who spied on ACORN maybe is somewhat of a white nationalist).
Breitbart’s not done yet. He is having so much fun he now wants to take down the “institutional left,” and he believes this will happen “within the next three weeks”:
He might be referring to his appearance on former Congressman (and radio personality!) Ernest Istook’s Harvard Institute of Politics study group, “Propaganda in American Politics.” Breitbart is scheduled to be a guest speaker next week, which falls within the deadline he gave on a Fox News show that attracts more viewers at 3AM than CNN at 8PM.
This is a must-not-miss event. What better way to take down the institutional left than to corrupt influence the minds of young Harvard intellectuals who will lead the institutions? It worked for Peggy Noonan.
(EDIT: Didn’t happen. Some anti-global warming guy came instead. The institutional left survives.)

The Left 4 Dead 2 Vitruvian Man
Monday, November 9th, 2009(Click to enlarge. Excuse me for the quality of the picture, as I was running the L4D2 demo from my college laptop.)
The background: Valve recently released the Left 4 Dead 2 demo. Although the only game play mode officially offered is the standard survival bout, it took only about a week for members of the online community to figure out how to modify the files to allow people to play as the infected (zombies). This semi-versus mode is not perfect, however, and as a result every time a player switches between human and infected the system creates an extra survivor clone. This process can be repeated over a dozen times. Since there are only four character models for the survivors, continuous switching ensures that there are multiple copies of the same character. Yes, it’s awesome. The only downside is that the game still caps the total number of human players at four, which means that most of the survivor characters will be AI.
The story behind the picture: Three other players and I decided to spawn the maximum number of survivors using the mod/glitch technique so that we could fight them as infected in expert difficulty. There is a point in the second level of the Parish campaign where all the survivors must enter a trailer, close the door, and open another door that leads to a tower with an alarm that must be switched off. Sometimes the AI was unresponsive and would just stay stuck inside the trailer (they would also not stop repeating the same lines). The only way to kill them was to enter the trailer. I took this picture late in the game when only a few survivors were still alive. It shows multiple dead “Ellis” models one after another, partly covered by one of the remaining “Nick” models. We won the game shortly after.

Sunday, July 26th, 2009A good old shameless plug for a friend:
My friend Michael Druker, a graduate student studying behavioral neuroscience at the University of Waterloo, has been writing on his blog Psystenance about planning and transit issues in the Kitchner/Waterloo area (in Ontario, Canada if you didn’t know), and other fascinating topics. You should take a look.
