Laugh? I nearly shit my pants!

Hi everyone.  I normally reply to every comment but this tsunami of comments came in for my “Miracle diet pill” post while I was sleeping.  You crazy northern hemisphere folk.  Hopefully at least a few of you will stick around and read some of my other material.  God knows there’s enough of it to get [...]

alli: Miracle diet pill with teeny-tiny side effect

I found this news on Salon.com and felt compelled to throw my 2c in. There’s a “new” over-the-counter drug available in the US that’s apparently flying off the shelves. It’s called alli (note the way trendy lower case!) and I use the term “new” loosely because it’s apparently a lower strength version of [...]

Competition time! Win fabulous cash and prizes!

OK, so I’m not actually giving away cash.  And whether or not the prize is fabulous depends on how easily impressed you are.  Inspired by Sandra, I’ve decided to have a contest for people to submit potential t-shirt slogans for Mr Angry.
I’ve been meaning for months to do new t-shirts but I keep failing to [...]

Is God an IT Consultant?

Having stirred a few creationists on YouTube lately, I got to thinking about the modern creationist’s favourite weasel words, “intelligent design”.  Intelligent?  You think?  What part of disease, famine, war is intelligent? 
All of which reminds me painfully of many IT consultants I’ve had to work with over the years.  These people are employed because of [...]

A quarter of a million doses of angry

I passed the 250,000 view mark this week. More than a quarter of a million times, my angry little voice has spurted out across cyberspace. Actually, I guess if you count my YouTube views it’s more than a million times. That’s good for a laugh.
Actually, on more than one occasion it has [...]

Don’t look behind you

You probably shouldn’t watch this video if you’re superstitious. 
This is another product of my Doctor Who geekfest.  One of the episodes has this classic horror movie moment when a guy (who is working on a space station that may or may not be in the process of being overtaken by the devil) starts hearing a [...]

Exterminate!

I’ve been geeking out with Doctor Who recently.  I used to watch the original series all the time growing up.  It was my favourite show without a doubt at the time but in retrospect it’s incredibly cheesy.  It went of the air in the 90s but they resurrected it (fans would say regenerated) a few [...]

Make a point, make it quick

This videos was a response to another YouTuber who was sick of over-long, pointless videos. The challenge was to make a video that was some form of social commentary and make it less than 90 seconds long. Here goes:

It’s also the first vid where you get to see my [...]

What a disappointment

Further to my rant yesterday about YouTube’s shortcomings, I have noticed there are two types of failings that seem to make people particularly angry. 
One is the case that I mentioned yesterday, namely, when someone seems capable of great things but falls painfully short of the standards you expect of them.  They may be achieving higher [...]

Fuck YouTube! Seriously.

I have decided YouTube is like an amazingly gifted athlete who is utterly unable to empathise with other humans.  This athlete is capable of doing things you didn’t think were possible prior to their arrival on the scene.  And they don’t just do it, they make it look effortless.  You feel carried along by them [...]
