The C.U.L.T. Shirt preliminary design plan has been chosen!
By Andrew Pollack on 10/14/2008 at 09:15 PM EDTIn a secret meeting held deep beneath the surface of the earth, protected from the sophisticated eavesdropping gear used against us, Lotus Geek and I met to discuss the shirts for Lotusphere 2009.
We held a planning session with the aid of some good friends -- one of whom is a former candidate for the Nobel prize for fashion and design, another of whom is a graduate from the Sorbonne with a degree in humor, a masters degree in wit, and a PhD in repartee, and a third -- who's presence was unknown even to the other two, and may be also known elsewhere as The Stig.
The actual design is locked somewhere so frightening that not even those present at the meeting would dare tread. Deep within my own mind. The discussion of the design however, has now been agreed and we're moving forward. I could tell you all what it is, but then I'd have to remove your internet access.
I can tell you that we're very close to opening the unofficial top ten list for your suggestions, and that we think you'll have plenty of them.
I can also tell you that at current count, we have 8 sponsors already committed -- so there's a good chance you'll get a shirt if you show up.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
