United Homeless Organization (UHO) Is a Fraud →
I’m going to start a non-profit organization whose mission will be to set up signs next to UHO tables on the streets of NYC, saying “THIS IS A SCAM”
A: “You have to put truffle oil on everything you cook so it tastes, you know, normal.” M: “Like it’s from a restaurant?” A: “Yeah.”
I could swear the @woodwhisperer schwag in @bliptv HQ is breeding at a geometric rate. I keep finding the pens and pencils everywhere.
I was expecting it to be cheesy, but I’m finding the “Best of Benny Benassi” album to be pretty effective coding music. Bleeps bloops beats!

Psystar gets slapped, hard
Psystar has lost their case against Apple. You can read the summary here from BusinessWeek, and all the gory details here from Groklaw.
