Idiot users and how to deal with them

One of the most common complaints I’ve heard from IT workers over my years of working in the industry is “users are idiots” or some variant thereof.  It’s an understandable but ultimately self-defeating attitude.  Users are your customers, they’re the reason you have a job - treat them badly enough and you won’t have them [...]

Virgin worship, anal sex and oral sex

You know what?  I feel guilty about all the people who end up here looking for porn.  I want to give something to these people.  I still think you should read the whole post, it was quite well-received by my regular readers and I think you might find it entertaining and even insightful.  But just [...]

It’s official - Google have decided to kill all of YouTube’s competitors

What almost everybody has predicted for a while is now apparently a fact: Google have decided to enable revenue sharing for content creators on YouTube.  This is effectively a death warrant for every single YouTube competitor (interestingly, they’ve effectively killed Google Video too).  None of them have managed to make the remotest dent in YouTube’s [...]

Some Angry News you may have missed

Here’s some more behind the scenes news reporting from Mr Angry.
The first story revolves around a major Australian festival known as The Big Day Out. This is actually a series of concerts featuring major Australian and international acts that tours the capitals every summer. The Sydney show is almost always on Australia Day [...]

What does kiwi poo taste like?

AKA “The Return of the Little Angries“.
My life is fraught with peril.   A perfectly respectable novelty girft from New Zealand is used by my kids to play an awful prank on me…

What is Australia Day?

While I’m in Australia Day mode (although it’s over now) I thought I’d post one more video on the topic.  This video was done in response to a request for some background from a YouTube subscriber who didn’t actually know what Australia Day commemorates.  In this video I give a brief overview of what the [...]

Angry Australia Day

It’s Australia Day today - our national day and I’m celebrating in the traditional way by scorching some dead animals.  But am I a proud Australian?  Well, let’s start with a definition of “proud”:

Trigger words for Mr Angry

Did you ever notice how we all seem to have trigger words that can have a massive effect on our moods and responses?  I’ve shared before how racists on YouTube set me off by phrasing their bullshit with some variation of “you have to agree that…”  Well, no dickhead.  I don’t have to agree with [...]

Showing my sexy ass on YouTube

No, I haven’t become a gay porn star.  Or at least I’m not willing to admit to being a gay porn star.  Although I’d get a lot of search engine traffic if I started promoting hot man on man gay butt sex action.  My god, I’m cynical. 
Basically, I wanted to celebrate the impending launch of [...]

Do you hate your team enough?

Based on long experience, I can only assume that this is a question that many managers ask themselves on a daily basis: “Do I hate my team enough?” Quickly followed by: “How can I demonstrate the extent to which I hate my team?”  Well, I feel it’s my job in life to help managers, so [...]
