With the Zune imminent, the 360, and Windows Media Center PCs already here, I've found myself monumentally unimpressed with it all. Microsoft has the technologies, but not the integration. The individual technologies themselves are completely unappealing to me. However, this article from tech crunch puts it all together in a way I hadn't considered. ]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:17:55 -0800 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C573624024/E20061108231755/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C573624024/E20061028160845/index.html and I worked at a Unix company in the days before testers, so that is saying something. ]]> Sat, 28 Oct 2006 16:08:45 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C573624024/E20061028160845/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1842092179/E20061028142532/index.html Worst Congress Ever ]]> Sat, 28 Oct 2006 14:25:32 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1842092179/E20061028142532/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C948295618/E20061023080030/index.html There are some things I just don't understand about the way people choose to live. ]]> Mon, 23 Oct 2006 08:00:30 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C948295618/E20061023080030/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C573624024/E20061023074953/index.html But what I really wanted to say was P.O.S... ]]> Mon, 23 Oct 2006 07:49:53 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C573624024/E20061023074953/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1890618986/E20061018061941/index.html Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred.

Especially as it was aimed right at me and my friends, Generation X. It is now mature enough that agencies can do it badly, which I see more and more.

Case in point: yesterday I saw a billboard for a national burger chain with a history of getting people sick with badly prepared meat. In big letters over a picture of it's new burgers it said "Because you've only taken 4 fake sick days this month." While I'm that the copywriter in the ad agency felt that it was very clear that their new burger was a reward for some lucky slacker, my first impression was "our new burger will make you legitimately sick."

Maybe this is the new thing, where they specifically post stuff like this so that the late night TV shows can make fun of them later? ]]> Sat, 14 Oct 2006 08:59:33 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C948295618/E20061014085933/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1842092179/E20061006091310/index.html sent me a letter!

Well, really more of a pamphlet. With a picture on the front, showing a vaguely homosexual (maybe a metrosexual) man holding a big sign saying "TAX" and pointing at it. The caption reads "The Democrats have a liberal agenda."

ummm... Duh?

I can't imagine that Republicans aren't insulted by this simplification and vilification, but maybe they are that small minded and any painting not painted in broad strokes is lost on them. ]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2006 09:13:10 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1842092179/E20061006091310/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1890618986/E20060926084851/index.html thanks ]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 08:48:51 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1890618986/E20060926084851/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C948295618/E20060926084020/index.html and I grow less fond every moment I spend there. ]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 08:40:20 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C948295618/E20060926084020/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1842092179/E20060912062419/index.html The New York Times says it well on 9/11 ]]> Tue, 12 Sep 2006 06:24:19 -0700 http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1842092179/E20060912062419/index.html http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/C1427441966/E20060907011524/index.html you cheap bastards!
