Of Course Hughes Was Going to Lose
It’s a no brainer. Phil Hughes had an off night and lost to a really shitty team, and it’s completely Joe Girardi’s fault: ignorant managing.
This is what happens when you take a pitcher who is 10-1 and then skip his last start because of an innings limit. Especially when you have A.J Burnett pitching like a fucking moron recently. Fuck that, Hughes is a real man, he can take it. I don’t want any of this pussy ass pampering of my pitchers. They did it to Joba and he fucking sucks now. Of course the extra rest is going to throw the guy off when he was in a rhythm.
This just in from Keef: “at least it was the game Cliff Lee started. Figure that’s the game the M’s had to win”
Saturday’s Song of the Week: The Offspring – Dirty Magic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZX7cWu8Npo
It’s Saturday bitches, so listen to some music. You may remember the glory days of the Offspring in the mid to late 1990s with singles such as Self Esteem, Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) and Come out and Play. But older and not as well known, off the 1993 album Smash: Dirty Magic. Killer intro.
Why’d I pick it? It’s all a cloudy kind of daze..

Someone bring me this kid! Why don’t I have those mad skills? He won’t be making much money from one YouTube video, but all he has to do is keep up with new songs and be able to perform for two hours and he’s got himself a career. Guaranteed. and here I am walking around a hot asbestos dungeon all day doing fucking cable management. FML.
Vote 1 star if this guy sucks balls and 10 stars if he is getting so much pussy his dick is falling off.

I Can Fix the Android Market

If you haven’t read the tech blogs recently, many people are frustrated with the Android Market. DVD Jon, the legend who first cracked the encryption key on DVDs, blogged about what is wrong with the Android Market.
What is wrong with the Android Market? JUNK APPS. I love how it’s open and anyone can develop anything for it without it going through Apple’s Nazi approval process. But, at the same time, I hate scrolling through the list and seeing this shit that’s completely useless:
There are a few different types of apps that should simply not be allowed. Firstly, ringtone apps. There is one exception – RingDroid. I don’t use it, but it lets you import mp3s, clip them or even search for songs and use those as ringtones. That is fine with me because it is a functional app that serves a purpose. Apps that do not serve a
Next on my list of flawed apps: joke apps. There are multiple apps for different jokes. You have driving jokes, South Park jokes, dirty jokes, blonde jokes etc etc etc. It goes on and on. Please explain why an app could list a bunch of jokes randomly without performing any function? I want my app to do something for me, not just cycle through the same 40 jokes. Newsflash – the phones have a browser. If I want to look up jokes, I’ll Google them. I don’t need an app per joke category.
Next issue: The same author can publish 200 apps that are all the same except one minor thing. For instance, some developer made a live wallpaper app with country flags for the World Cup. I didn’t feel like scrolling through them all. This is a waste of space and they all do the same damn thing.
Before I fix the Market, you need to understand how devs get their apps listed: To be published on the Android market, the developer pays Google $25 and then publish can do whatever he or she wants (as long as it doesn’t violate their terms of service). Anyone can install .apk apps if you allow the option to install from unknown sources, but I’m talking about over the air Market apps.
This is how you fix the Android Market, in simple bulleted form:
This will allow anyone to create any app, so there won’t be developer outcry. It will also solve the junk app issue / allow apps to be on the market that do not necessarily violate the TOS but aren’t Google Verified.
Sound good? Yeah it does. It needs some tweaking, but that’s my basic framework.
I do realize this was probably a boring blog entry, but fuck it.
