Boycott Lowes

They are making it a requirement to fax permission for websites to link back to http://www.lowes.com or use linkable images back to http://www.lowes.com. Example:

If I wanted to link to http://www.lowes.com on http://www.lunaz.com, I would need to fill out & fax a form to their lawyers.

For obvious reasons this is bad and I will now link to http://www.lowes.com on my front page in a funny and creative way. Here is the relevant news article and comments.

Thank you to some guy in the comments page who provided me the PileOPoo image used in this post.

Thank you google image search for providing the logo for http://www.lowes.com so I don’t have to bother going to http://www.lowes.com to snag it myself.

Head on over to Wikipedia and give it your zip code to contact your local politicians and let them know how much SOPA and PIPA suck!

Fuck you Nintendo

So I want to sell my Wii that has been gathering dust for a long time. I thought those few wii+games fsVirtual Console games would add to its sell value and bring enjoyment of classics to some kid who doesn’t know what ‘Zelda II’ is.

Nope, rather than buyer & seller benefiting from this, I risk my personal or financial information that is tied to this device through the Shop account. If I delete this account, the games go too. If I do not delete the Shop account, the next user can see all my receipts in the shop account. These things are nobody’s business but mine and Nintendo’s.

wii+games fsSince I don’t want such information being made ‘public’ I deleted the shop account and formatted the memory. I will only buy games/movies/music on disk unless it’s a streaming service; since there I know I’m ‘renting’. No iTunes for me! I recommend everyone do the same whenever possible.

So who wants to buy my Wii?
