If you care to believe it, this blog tries to make a difference in the world by dedicating itself to the Democracy, Discussion, Freedom, and Furtherment of Comedy.

The author (mainly? sometimes??) talks about Singapore, but is into all things comedy and comical. And once even seriously entertained the notion of going into stand-up comedy full-time.

What is "normal" to most of us? Normal is...

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

- Robert X. Cringely

Note about the "exploding once a year" thing - we probably need to update that with our current knowledge of the current family of Windows operating systems! I'll bet it's more than once a year... ;) Oh, and of course, this only applies to the Microsoft family of operating systems...

I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS.
