It’s Drug Co’s vs Tech Co’s in a battle royale
Drug companies generally hold only one patent per drug. Tech firms (Microsoft, Intel, Apple, etc) generally hold several patents (and/or violate several) per product offering. Ergo, when someone says “Hey! You can’t use that! It was mine first!”, it’s in a tech company’s best interest to say “fine, here’s some money so I can KEEP [...]
Playing it as it lays
I’m no fan of the Academy Awards, I’ll grant you that. If I ever make it to that fabled Red Carpet, I’ve got a few words for whichever of the Rivers’ mini-cult that chooses to ask “who are you wearing tonight?”. Irrespective of that, when the author of a short story that makes it to [...]
IE6 “access is denied” Javascript error - FIXED
Speaking of your weird-ass javascript/IE bugs..
Today, I was working on the beta version of the new MusicPlusTV.com v3.0 site. On the site, I’m using an extensive iframe system to allow full browsing of the site, without ever refreshing/reloading/losing the live stream. Pretty sweet, no?
However, there’s a few issues with that solution, and I’ve since made [...]
Finally, a solid reason to own a MacBook Pro
I’m hardly anti-mac. Currently owning a G4 Powerbook, G4/500 (upgraded to 1.4Ghz), and a 2.3Ghz PowerMac G5 (not to mention 3 iPods). But the MacBook Pro is a little “early”. Still, WinXPonMac.net offered up prize money taken from donations for anyone who could get XP running on an Intel Mac (mini, iMac, and MBP). It [...]
Procrastination Is a Lazy Comic’s Pillow
So, I’ve got a gig tomorrow. Supposed to do a 15-20 minute set. Funny thing about comedy. Er.. god, that sentence needs to not sound like that. STRANGE thing about comedy - no matter how many 1000’s of comedy performances you’ve heard in your life, no matter how SURE you are that you’ve got your [...]
Tom Waits & Purina?
And here I thought Tom Waits vehemently opposed celebrity endorsements, an issue I agree wholeheartedly with him about. The man speaks from embarrassing experience, however, after having done this thrice-award-winning Purina’s Butcher’s Blend Dog Food. The story behind that period of his life pretty much explains everything. It’s okay, Tom. I forgive you.
Hip Xian Shirt Madness
A friend of mine was doing a Google Images search (for what, I’ll never know) and happened upon this Xian T-Shirt site. While I despise the rebranding of corporate feces to push another popular American product, God, I despise even more when Xians pretend that they’re the “underdog” in a world where Xianity is the [...]
Mitcz.com Version 2.0
So I’ve been meaning to retool this blog site, and of course upgrade to the fancy new WordPress 2.0 engine. I killed two birds with one stone sometime late Friday night (got home too late from my show to really go out and party). I’m still working through a few of the finer design/tech issues, [...]
Women’s Sex Gripes? Mitcz Responds.
Randomly came across one of those “lists” women make of things men do wrong. This time, it was 41 bedroom-related tasks that men fumble around and fuck up. While I’d hardly claim to be perfect, and I know there’s a great deal of men that could use advice of that sort - these lists reek [...]
