Quick run down of yesterday's Mac chaos. Although I've considered myself immune to it over the years, I fell for Apple's distortion field--or as others might call it: upgrade hell. I don't know what happened. I think it all started when I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. It worked so well, so smooth, my digital (self) was flawless. Then, …
Some Seeds For Your Billions
It caught my eye earlier today while reading through my feeds using the Flipboard app on my iPad. For posterity's sake, I've documented the experience in the pic above. On the left is the initial link with the short summary of a BBC news article about Apple's third quarter profits. On the right is the article as …
Law Suits The New Unions?
I covered some of this already in this post. But the links just keep coming. So let me remind you, dear worst-reader, a bit of what I wrote about before. One of the last corporate job interviews of my life was with Amazon in Germany. Talk about going out with a bang. It was the worst, most insulting job …
It's Like The Moon Disappearing. If The Middle Class Joins It, Will You Miss It?
Not sure why I care about this. But I do. Having said that... Having grown up in the suburban hell of lower middle class #americant and now hearing academics describe (that) hell's demise, I sit back with a dopey grin on my face and sing the lost torrent song that was once an anthem, an …

Tech Doesn't Progress Because
Great article below. Love it when tech writers nail it. Also love it when they don't. That said, it's good thing I'm not a tech writer. Or does the tech world need worst-writer? Nomatter. Here's the one thing to keep in mind when considering whether or not business can progress. It can't. If it progressed …
How It Should Be Done – Visa Applications India
Say what you will about the trials and tribulations of the tech world. Robots steel jobs. Printers get rid of all them pretty secretaries. Email and digital documents save trees. My only worst-question is this: what was it like when humanity moved from horse & buggy to the automobile? I mean, come on. It's not as …

Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
It's that time of year again, dear worst-reader. Travel time. Destination: India. Egypt. Ocean City, MD. All before xmas. Which reminds me of that movie Network when the guy says "We're as mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore"? Boy was he wrong! No one is mad and everyone is gonna take …
Jimmy Carter: A Five-Nation Plan to End the Syrian Crisis – The New York Times
While worstwriter tries to figure out the meaning of birds tangled up in whatnot, our 39th president has a few things to say. Even though I'm not quite sure what he's saying, it's pretty amazing that he's still on top of things. Go Jimmy! Rant on. -t "Bashar and his father, Hafez, had a policy …

What Things Are Really About
https://youtu.be/jqKEJTFYgEE?t=1h59m18s Failure. That's what things are really about. Or maybe not. §Gotta throw this out there in the digital ether. Something strange happened the other day. It hit me hard, dear worst-reader. Yeah. Something strange and hard hit me the other day while I was watching TWIT #532. I mean, I listen to podcasts daily. Most …
Oh No. #Yahoo Sucks.
First. Full disclosure. I really dig Yahoo. And I don't mean no disrespect with this worst-post. With that in mind. I've been using Yahoo email ever since I lost my password for CompuServe back in the early 1990s. Which brings me to the following question: how can something that was once so good get so screwed …
Don't Even Think About It
Well, dear worst-reader, so much for jokesters and hamsters. As I tried to say here, it would be fun if car makers--especially those who lie to us about emissions--had a sense of humour. But then again, how can one have a sense of humour when you know that society can do nothing to you for your …
The Working Poor Shall Inherit The Earth
Get a load of some of these stats, dear worst-reader. There are times when even I, the grand stat-viewer, milk some tears when I read such things. And as we know, my tears are not like those of mermaids. Indeed. There will be no cure for these ails. So let's just run down to reality …
What Lies Under Your Doms
"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." (-not sure but I think this is from Goethe) What will they say in the comings days, dear worst-reader? Not sure. Or am I sure? As usual, there will be comparisons to various …
The Cherry Bat v. Coincidence v. Coordination
Is it me, dear worst-reader? Am I the only one to worst-write about conspiracies? Wait. It's important to note here--for the sake of posterity--that I don't worst-write about conspiracy theories. Reason? There's a difference, you know, between conspiracy and conspiracy theory. Just as there's a difference between coincidence and central planning--as in central planning of …

Gratis = Free Bier
People ask me all the time. Why Germany? Well, the answer has remained the same for the past quarter century: girls and beer. I know. It sounds kinda lame, especially when one considers my age and desk ridden stamina. I suppose the answer should be: beer. Notwithstanding my waistline. After hearing how long I've been …
