INTERNET ON STRIKE!

In 30mins I’ll be joining the STRIKE TO STOP SOPA (internet censorship bill).

*EDIT* If you can read this, it means the blackout javascript isn’t working. I’ve been having difficulties with it :(

I know it doesn’t mean much, coming from a tiny blog like mine. And the fact that I’m Canadian protesting an American act. But every person needs to help out in any way they can, even if it’s just spreading the word.

With companies like Google, Mozilla, WordPress, Minecraft, Wikipedia, and Reddit protesting by shutting down for the day you have to recognize that this is serious.

Want to join the protest? CLICK [HERE]
Not from America? CLICK [HERE]

STAY INFORMED!!!

Coffee & Multitasking v.72

1. MAY 21 = RAPTURE
Have you guys been following this group called Family Radio? They claim that they’ve found evidence to support the theory that armageddon will happen THIS MONTH (on the 21st to be exact). Now, you should know me by now, and know that I don’t buy into this. I hold these guys on the same level as the Westboro group; a bunch of loud people claiming to be Christians. I for one believe we should live like the world will end tomorrow, but I will be praying and loving extra hard just in case people get crazy on the 21st.

BATMAN 3 EDITION

1. Riddler to be next Villain?
It’s rumored that Joseph Gordon Levitt (Tommy from 3rd Rock, or the “nerdy” guy from Inception) will be playing The Riddler in Nolan’s next comic adaptation. In my books, the only villain/actor teamup that could come after Ledgers amazing Joker performance.

2.  Nolan says “NO” to Batman 3D

BP Buys Out Google/Yahoo Search Words…

In a continued effort to cover up the biggest oil spill disaster in US history, BP Oil has purchased words and phrases from Google and Yahoo that are most used to look up disaster online. 
I checked this out, sure enough when I typed in “BP oil spill” my top hits lead me all back to BP’s homepage; a page of sunshine filled shots with clean beaches being cleaned…???

I haven’t posted anything on this because it’s just so huge. So huge. This is a disaster that will rock our world for years to come. The amount of death and destruction it has caused cannot be surmised by my words. I hope this doesn’t make people think I don’t care, I do, I just don’t know how me typing words can solve anything…get involved, donate money ($5 to tumblr.), or if you have the means to get down there DO IT!

“If we did not act, we faced a draconian future. Where one man, one company, one carrier was the future.” — Google

I may be an Apple fanboy, but I agree with the above statement. Over the last few years Steve Jobs has been raised to a level that no one man should be raised to. Competition like this needs to happen for great products to arise.
