1. Ahh, a First World problem. Boo hoo hoo.

2. You know they removed the don’t be evil from their mission statement?
   Think about what that means. It’s pretty much a statement that they intend to be exactly that.

3. It’s been said before: if you don’t know what the product is, you are.

4. It was a Russian puppy too. They’ll get you every time.

5. And people make fun of me for using film…

6. And to think this blog used to argue that people who deliberately engaged in substance abuse deserved exactly what they got.

7. If you are trying to tell me that Google is a steaming pile of crap I already know.

8. Ah, but isn’t all of our data supposed to be in the cloud and isn’t it supposed to be safe?

9. Robber Barons have gone digital, duh! What?! You didn’t study history and don’t know what a Robber Baron is? Just Google it…
   Digital is The new Frontier and we’re all living in the Brave New World.
