Linkstorm: Twenty Oh Eleven

So for quite a while (between my 2nd last post and my last post) I've been unsure as to the purpose of this blog. Is it for comedy? A personal platform for political persuasions? An awesome auditorium for alliteration?

Man, I dont need your labels. This is whatever I want. I'm not a part of your system.

So anyways, for a while, I was gathering links to stories and articles that had some political element to them. A lot (Alot) of these are about some recent election thingy in this cold land that I live (Canada). So, here are some links, with a bit of commentary on each. Share and enjoy!

Speaking of which - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of text adventure games: "As good a way to waste time as surfing in the Acid Pools of Agthrellion 6, text adventure games are exactly as productive. Also, in most such games, one wrong move spells disaster."

Fun sound board - This is a sweet synthesizer, and seriously, every time I rediscover this bookmark, I waste another 20 minutes making sweet digital music.

The untold story of the 2011 election - A fascinating read about how the conservatives had a better PR machine, how the liberals shot themselves in the foot, and how the NDP was the real winner in the election.

Perhaps a bit alarmist - but a good lesson on why having people who know nothing about technology try and regulate it is a very silly idea.

Evidence about how broken our election system currently is - and what the results should have looked like.

Warrant-less Online Tracking  - seriously, is there no better alternative to technologically inept legislators passing legislation on technology?

We could have the ISPs do it... - that's not better.

Well the ISP's have to be involved... - just... just stop. Please.

This kitty has a rifle. Better? - Much better.

Well that came off as a bit rant-y. Next time: comedy!
