http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pmPa_KxsAM&feature=share Watched part of 2013 Google I/O yesterday. Wow. That was weird. Is it me or does Larry Page look a little like an ageing Terminator from Skynet that didn't pass quality control? He certainly has a voice of a Terminator (caused by vocal chord paralysis). I was wondering if, at the end of his keynote … Continue reading Google Skynet

Infantilism vs Economic Conscription
Will never forget the visit I made to a US military recruiting centre. Johnny Gun-Ho was my recruiting officer. He was a Marine that had no problem explaining to me the inferiorities of the Army and the Air Force. He even took the time to explain the inferiorities of the Navy, which belong to the … Continue reading Infantilism vs Economic Conscription
Bottom Slippery Slope
In the movie "In The Line of Fire" the bad guy (John Malkovich) makes what looks like a double barrel .38 caliber hand gun out of plastic. (Sarcasm on.) How original will new fangled 3D gun makers get? Oh, and btw, can't they call it something other than 3D gun printing? Sounds wussy. Is it … Continue reading Bottom Slippery Slope
Tricky Hole
Early morning. Sun coming up. Groggy. I quit drinking coffee and the black tea takes longer to get me going. Quick reddit read woke me, though. Luv Sam Shepard and wish I was in Toronto. Here thoughts churned: Not afraid to admit it: Spent most of my adult life dreaming. Big mistake there. But then … Continue reading Tricky Hole
A Soul Out Of Glass
Steve Jobs had the balls to get up on a stage a few years back and declare the PC dead. Long live the post-PC. And what did Jobs replace the PC with? Did you know that if you drop an iPad it will shatter into the most expensive piece of useless industrial art you will … Continue reading A Soul Out Of Glass
Hybrid Hippie
I mean, come on, this guy was most definitely a hybrid hippie. Meaning: he did all the counter culture shit but there was something else that made him tick. Or? I don't know. I couldn't get into the drugs that freed this guy or any of the others I've met/known that were freed by them. … Continue reading Hybrid Hippie
Moving Backwards
Subtitle 1: The intricacies of a minimalist computer user with too many choices. Subtitle 2: Returning to Snow Leopard Note: Been drinking too much. Aka the byproduct of Xmas season and gluttonous living that has reared me. With that in mind... Oh, dear worst-reader, it’s been yet another long, moist, obnoxious and humdrum season of … Continue reading Moving Backwards
Almost Defined: Creativity
Dec. 16, 2012 Installment #38 - Almost Defined - Creativity There is a (inner) battle to understand creativity. Below is a recent email exchange with a "friend" that gets a bit into the what-is-creativity thing. Due to the mention of female genitalia, this post (and how many others?) is NSFW. Dear Old-Friend, I spoke to … Continue reading Almost Defined: Creativity
Moon Landing Cap'n Crunch
Update: For those interested in skipping all the worstwriting and getting right to my debunking of conspiracy theories, just scroll down to "Debunking". Also. Since posting this I've come across a wonderful YouTube video by someone who debunks much better than moi. It's at the end of this post. Thank you for your patience. One … Continue reading Moon Landing Cap'n Crunch
When Banks Ain't Banks
Subtitle: Irony, Government and the consequence of certain sexual activities that might influence politics. This article is NSFW. Something startled me recently. The other day I finally realized that I have been paying more and more attention to advertising. Not on TV, mind you. I don't watch TV anymore. Instead, for more than two years, … Continue reading When Banks Ain't Banks
Tech Fail Upward
In order to move one step forward you have to first go five steps backward. It's true. At the age of (insert number of choice here), I finally got my first contracted cell/smart phone. Of course, I used various cell phones when I worked for the man (corpos), and even used a cheap pre-paid cell … Continue reading Tech Fail Upward
Barrel of Fun
Disclaimer: Thoughts on Mitt Romney. You've been warned. Go ahead. Look at the barrel. Well. Go ahead. It's a barrel. Right? And get this. The barrel is empty. The barrel is rotten. But it wasn’t always so. Look at it again. There was a time when the barrel was full of beautiful, luscious, sweet and tart … Continue reading Barrel of Fun
Illusion of Comic Truth
July 27, 2012 The Illusion (Of Comic) Truth It took me a while to get used to it but I eventually came to terms with the fact that it takes a bit longer for movies to get their start in Germany. This delay has to do with the greed of movie distributors and the dumbfounding … Continue reading Illusion of Comic Truth
Crémant vs Art Films
Pseudo review of the movie Synecdoch, New York by Charlie Kaufman Oh, it weighed heavy on my conscience having recently gone to the cinema. It's just not something I do. It's like youth, and it's a good thing that it's gotten away from me. But I did it and there is a price to pay. … Continue reading Crémant vs Art Films
Cyberwar Rock-N-Roll
Here's the scenario. It's 1999. I'm working as a PM consultant and our client is (really big tech company). The job is to install a test environment of our software. Our software has been purchased by (really big tech company) because we have something they need in order to complete their massive drive to get … Continue reading Cyberwar Rock-N-Roll
Mirror Mirror On The Wall
Warning: Plot spoilers. Broke down and went to the movies yesterday. I don't go to the cinema anymore. Reason? Nothing motivates me to go. And, at my age, it's getting' hard to sit still in the dark for 2hrs. Also. Movie making in general has long since run out of stories to tell. For you … Continue reading Mirror Mirror On The Wall
In Search Of A Quote
Disclaimer: this text is probably NSFW. Among the many imaginary friends I wish I had, one woke me up this morn when I was trying to locate something I hadn't searched for in a while. "What are you looking at," he asked. "The exact location of a famous quote," I said. "Why," he (or was … Continue reading In Search Of A Quote
Sharks Barracudas Banks
The other day during a somewhat intensified news scan to try and understand the 2012 JPMorgan bank scandal, I got to thinking about sharks and barracudas. This was aided when I happened across an article about a German women that was attacked by a sharkwhile on vacation in Florida. Although it seems she will survive the … Continue reading Sharks Barracudas Banks
Sucks
Some might consider it privilege, others elitism. But it's also torture. Since 2010 worstWriter lives in a Apple household. And I want to say upfront: this was not my choice. My better-half has completely fallen over the iPad edge and is now a total "post-pc" user. That is, she doesn't use a personal computer anymore. … Continue reading Sucks
Price of Nothingness
Funny how so much gets lost in translation. Like reality. Every time I think that something can no longer happen to make me shake my head at Eurowasteland, something happens. Recent electoral event in France should be making the whole world shake it's head, especially the Eurowastelanders. Of course, I'm not talking about head-shaking at … Continue reading Price of Nothingness

Biggest Brother Ever
http://youtu.be/wxu7VZRAYOY Let's begin from the begin(ning), shall we? It started with Big Brother. Then there was Bigger Brother. And now… Excuse me, phone is ringing. Did all of this spying on citizens (video below) start with a novel? You know the old saying: life emulates art. (Or is it the other way 'round? Nomatter.) There are … Continue reading Biggest Brother Ever
Just Keep It Techi
Have to call out one of my favorite podcasts. Went on vacation for a few weeks. Didn't take anything that would allow me to connect to the Internets like I do on a daily basis while not on vacation. Vacation is vacation, right? (But I did take my Kindle and read like a madman!) When … Continue reading Just Keep It Techi
Reconstitution
The blogging-thing started for me in 2004 using WordPress.com. WordPress.com is the free online blogging service run by the people that created WordPress the blogging slash CMS software. If you want the software then you have to go to wordpress.org. You get the difference? Nomatter. I gave up on WordPress.com around 2009 because I lost … Continue reading Reconstitution
Book Fair High Security Dreams
Frankfurt Book Fair 2011 Yeah, baby. The book fair to woop all book fairs. It never ceases to amaze me each time I visit this fair how cordoned off the most significant part of it is (the most significant part to me, anyway). The fair is without a doubt huge. The human traffic here is … Continue reading Book Fair High Security Dreams
