Mini-Rants

Why does no dentist in Austin have weekend hours? Virtually none of them have Friday hours either! I guess they all must play golf together, or have a regatta on the river. (They call it a "lake" here.)

I heard an advert on the radio by the Software Business Alliance encouraging disgruntled employees to rat out software piracy in exchange for financial rewards. However you feel about this, COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS NOT THEFT!

An art teacher in Austin had non-erotic nude photographs taken by her girlfriend, who posted them on Flickr. Chaos ensues by busybodies trying to "protect the children." The teacher might lose her job.

When did bacteria become germs, anyway? "Germs," ironically enough, is such a sanitized concept.

These mini-rants have been brought to you by the City of Austin and Corporate America. Enjoy!
