New Domain Name - http://chipandre.com
I finally broke down and bought my name - chipandre.com.  This should save me from having to pay some squatter a small fortune in the event I ever become famous.  You may update your bookmarks, or not, since chip.tumblr.com still redirects here. The domain name change seems to have wiped the comments again, but since they still exist in my Disqus account I am hopeful that they can be restored.

The ignorance of the general population makes my head hurt. (via Engadget) Edit: The Wall Street Journal picked up on this study (via my tumblog, no doubt) and speculates on how so many people can be so totally fucking clueless. Read the article.

Fourth undersea cable cut near UAE, suspicions... →
Four undersea cables in three different locations, all feeding the same geographic area, cut within 5 days of each other.  I think my favorite theory so far is “Advanced viral marketing for Cloverfield 2”.  That, or terrorist sharks with frickin lazors.
