In the News The Current Situation

Adios, Pendejo!

Alberto GonzalesIt’s nice to start the working week with some good news: the world’s most sleazy amnesiac, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned. Says the A-G, who’s stepping down on September 17th:

I have lived the American dream. Even my worst days as Attorney General have been better than my father’s best days.

How would he know? He can’t remember a damned thing.

Not Up on Your Spanish Profanities?

Here’s the definition of pendejo (pronounced “pen-DEH-hoh”).

R.I.P. Blinky, the Two-Headed Calf (Who Looks Just Like the Tucows Logo)

(This article was cross-posted to Global Nerdy.)

Boing Boing points to the story of Blinky, the two-headed calf, who was euthanized yesterday.

Tucows on Canadian Business’ 2007 “Tech 100”

(This was cross-posted to Global Nerdy.)

Business squishy cow and Canadian Business “Tech 100″ logoWhat’s a blog for, if not to toot one’s own horn, or at least the horn of the company for whom he is a spokesmodel?

Tucows, where I’ve worked for four years and where I hold the title of Technical Evangelist, is on Canadian Business’ 2007 “Tech 100” List, their annual listing of Canada’s 100 largest publicly traded companies. We’re right by the median, ranked at number 49 on the “Performance” list.

I like to think that at least a little chunk of that was my doing.
