Cheney and Gonzales Indicted! But not for what you think :(

Well, it's not all bad-anytime there is as much evidence of criminal activity as there is against people like Cheney and Gonzales, I'm happy to see them get indicted for anything.  Hell, Al Capone had to be brought down on tax evasion charges.  But as you can see from …

Posterous.com (mo)Blogging, File Hosting and More Made Simple

OK, first thing's first, this isn't quite an Utterz.com Killer-er-I
mean an Utterli.com Killer. However, it does have a lot of similar
features-so many, in fact, that I may just switch permanently away
from Utterli thanks to Posterous.com's ease of use (so far). It …

OLPC XO G1G1 (Give 1 Get 1) 2008 Begins Today!

Around this time, back in 2007, you may recall me freaking out about the new XO-1 laptop from OLPC I was waiting for.  OLPC is the name of a non-profit that was created in order to design a laptop computer so cheaply that 3rd World governments would want to buy One …

ThePete's Test #2 of Posterous Now With Cross Posting to ThePete.Com

Well, once I set a password for my account I was able to control what
my subdomain was and so now my Posterous.com address is
thepete.posterous.com. Nice and easy to remember. Too bad they
couldn't end up with Chi.mp's domain extension-that'd make it even
easier to …

ThePeteToys: Stripe-B

Stripe-B Flickrset, originally uploaded by thepetecom.

As my long-timers know, one of my passions is custom toy design. I don't do it as much as I'd like, so I guess it ends up being a hobby thanks to that whole "pursuit of money" thing. But get me in a room with …

It's Friday once again and here's another anime Pocket Review for ya!

Positive Experience/Entertaining? This series was a tremendous amount of fun and at times was even moving.

Technically any good? This series represents the best of everything …

Democracy In Danger: Alaska Edition

Well, if you don't know who Ted Stevens is, I'm a little surprised. He's the guy who wears his "Incredible Hulk" tie to the Senate floor when he is expecting to have to put up a fight to get a bill passed. Stevens is the brilliant mind who described the Internet as a …

IN DEBT WE TRUST (2006)

Click to buy

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Definitely-in a very depressing, disturbing way.

Technically any good? It's not the tightest docu in the world for sure-also, it seems to cover the same ground a couple of times and it also seems to suggest that the …

OK, Obama! Time to Start Creating Jobs-Mine First!

Applied for a Job with the Obama Administration, originally uploaded by thepetecom.

I'm looking for a job, right? So I figured, why not apply for a gig with the guy I just voted for? Can't hurt, can it?

Hey, if you are hiring or know of anyone hiring a …

America Elects Barack Hussein Obama: My Thoughts A Week Later

Mayank Dhingra, one of the guys behind Kwippy.com, asked me to put together a post that encapsulated my thoughts on Barack Obama as president of the USA and as someone who impacts the rest of the world. He was kind enough to post it on his blog:

Let the change …
