As it turns out, in this fast paced digital world, people are not only forgetting their passwords to everything, they’re forgetting to put access to their online accounts in their wills.

A service, Legacy Locker, has popped up to fill this aching need so that your greedy greiving relatives can get access to all your online accounts after you die. This amazing service is yours for $30 a year, or $300 for a lifetime. I guess the $30/year option is for people already in the 70s or beyond, because you know, heaps of them have a load of online accounts.

Now, in some ways, this makes a lot of sense. You just don’t want your greedy bastard children clearing out your PayPal account on unauthorised purchases, or nephew having access to your WoW account and selling off your lvl80 character, while you’re still alive enough to be really pissed off about it.

But what happens if you change your passwords or something while you’re alive, and have forgotten to tell Legacy Locker? Or you die and no one knows you have a Legacy Locker account, so no one actually tells them (I guess you’re meant to tell your lawyer, or state executor, about it)? Or worst case scenario, you forget your Legacy Locker password?!

This is why I have a handy bit of software called KeePass. Not only is it usable on EVERY O/S, including most mobile phone ones, but it saves your passwords for everything, online or off. And it’s freeware! God bless you, idealistic Linux geeks! So now you only need to remember one password. The one for your KeePass master file.

Put that in your will instead, save yourself hundreds of dollars on a company that is probably destined to go broke anyway, and upon your death have the password given to that one special person in your life that will know how to wisely and fairly divide up your online estate:

 

The cat.

Getting creative with the skin, and a cocktail skewer, I have a sword through the “head” of the “dragon”
I need to point something out. I like Dragon Fruit. No one knows what the fuck they are though, and they’re hard to get. They’re basically giant, pink and green mutant kiwi fruit, but not quite so tart. They’ve got a very nice smooth flavour. A fibrous texture to the flesh and it falls apart on your tongue like well tenderized beef. The only issue with them is that they tend to only be available for about three weeks a year, and cost about four times that of a good mango. (more…)

 

So we all know I shill a lot of products on here. Frankly, I like to buy shit, and I assume all your other good consumer whores do as well. We’re trained to buy things. It keeps the economy going and makes us feel better because we own stuff… and starving people in African countries don’t. Let’s laugh at them.

 

So what do these elements have in common?

I was looking up resource material for an article on Eugenics (Not the Nazi kind. I’m more of a post-humanist eugenics believer) when I ran across a book titled:

BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES and also ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!! (Paperback)

I swear I’m not making this shit up!

So here’s an African American woman, who has obviously self published because no respectable publishing house would allow two exclamation marks next to each other in a title, who’s very against birth control (the most common form of Eugenics, honestly) and she’s trying to sell you shit.

I’ll be brave and admit that not only did I not buy this book, I didn’t even bother attempting to find a pirated copy that I could peruse. I think the title basically tells you everything that’s going to be in it, and this is probably a book that you can indeed judge by the cover.
Never mind the hilarity involved in the price tag alone, if you want a really good laugh, read over some of the comments. Or check out the tags that people have given this.

What’s particularly worrisome, other than the way she looks on the front cover given that this book was published in 2008, and the photo seems to be straight out of the 80s, is that this book manages to go to nearly 650 pages in length. I’m a fan of reading, I’ve gotten through Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn series… But I seriously question precisely how you can get nearly 650 pages worth of this, when the title alone pretty much sums up every argument you can possibly make in this regard.

I’m also thinking given the controversy of the priesthood vis-a-vis children over the last decade that the last thing any one really wants to do is give their children over to said group.

Ok, I lied.

Or at least misled you. He’s actually trying to get back in the black, financially speaking, and as such is doing a series of over priced concerts in London in July, so his music was playing pretty non stop on the radio after the announcement.

This brought back many a nostalgic memory from when I was a young boy and very much liked Michael Jackson. Back when he was still black, and attractive. As a young boy, I’m sure he would have liked me to. Even now, as weird as he may or may not be, he has a wonderful singing voice… It’s such a pity that such a great artist also happens to be bat shit insane.

Like the time he flew off the deep end when he found out that people were ripping off his music with this Internet thing. I wonder if he ever found out about the amazing rip off of Thriller?

Having watched it back to back with the original video, whilst the music is fucking terrible, those whacky Indians at least got the dance moves and crotch padding right.

I’m still waiting for an Indian version of Invaders Must Die.
