Something different - me without a mask

Seriously.  I actually don’t wear a mask in this video .  I still think you can’t really see my face because of the lighting I used but a few people on YouTube got excited when they saw it.  I ought to give the same disclaimer here I did on YouTube:
I HAVEN’T GONE EMO!  This is [...]

Homophobia and Homoeroticism

Here’s a bit of inside information for those who may not know: when you’re a male, you learn from a very early age that terms like fag, poof and homo are insults.  These days most people don’t see “gay” slurs as particularly strong insults but they remain insults due to homophobia.  From my experience, the [...]

IT Leaders Who Inspire

Inspired by Jerome at The Corporate Cynic I have decided to take a break from detailing work issues and people that make me angry and write about qualities in people I have worked for and with who were capable of inspiring the best from people rather than simply demanding it. OK, to provide contrast I’m [...]

Uncle Angry’s bedtime story

Here’s something a little different after the turmoil I was posting about yesterday. I think we could all benefit from relaxing a bit. And what could be more relaxing than sitting back while your Uncle Angry reads you a bedtime story? So take your shoes off, lean back and let me tell you all about [...]

It’s the same old story

I rarely join in on the blag-o-spheroid buzz of the day but I do feel compelled to throw in my 2c on the events that have a massive number of people all a-twitter today.  Essentially, a rather high-profile (and rather good) blogger, Kathy Sierra, has been subject to some extremely vile and graphic harassment.  She [...]

Why IT people get angry with bad business decisions

I’m going to use an incident from my past to illustrate why bad business decisions drive IT people crazy. And if you work in IT and you don’t get involved in business decisions then you should - this example will show you why. This is possibly the single worst business decision I have personally been [...]

A haircut makes all the difference

I made a few videos recently about my own haircut misadventures.  I was lucky, haircuts are important.  Think of how defendants at murder trials always look clean cut - even if they’re homeless psychopathic serial killers, their defence lawyers want them to look good.
As an example, check how legendary rock producer Phil Spector is wearing [...]

The history of Blurred Vision

The video I posted last night had its genesis almost 20 years ago.  Way back in 1989 I wrote, produced and performed some comedy for a local radio station, JJJ.  Among the comedic gems I produced were a couple of spots for “Blurred Vision”, born out of annoyance with people who thought if they had [...]

My New Charity - Blurred Vision

I’m branching out.  My new money making venture service to humanity is a charity called “Blurred Vision”.  Watch this video to find out all about it.

Send me money.  You’ll feel better about yourself.

My One Year Blogiversary

On the 23rd of March, 2006 I posted my first-ever blog post as Mr Angry. A whole year ago. Shit. Maybe it’s true what they say - time really does fly when you’re having fun. When I started I had the pre-conceived idea of posting at least one new thing every day for a year, [...]
