Dear friends, please help. I am asking you for help.
Yesterday I posted Professor Kevin Westhues’ “Checklist of Mobbing Indicators,” and, as if by clockwork today I was mobbed on Twitter in a thread that matched 13 of the 16 indicators, point for point.

This post was originally published on July 28, 2012, on my other blog. Transcript: Why are you so angry on the Internet? A lot of what I think confuses people about me is the fact that I interact with them in a way that’s unfamiliar to them. And that can be scary ‘cause it’s inherently …
Cat in a box
My mind is in Schrödinger’s box. Am I asking too much? Why can’t I just go to parties and have a good time?
A small gesture

Mac OS X Server Windows 2000 Server Windows 2003 Server NetWare If you selected all of them, you got the question wrong, even though you’re technically correct. All of …
Arrogant Bastard
I hope it is because I have not written lately that I feel so “ugh.” My trip to California was interesting; it was both exciting and disappointing in different and similar ways. As was my first day on the job today. I left work feeling awful for no easily explainable reason, even though I felt …
