I'm going to present to you tips, tricks, and techniques for e-mauling localroger. In theory many of these will work well against anyone, but I am writing this diary in the hopes that this will help give people that push to let localroger know he's a slimy douchebag, or if they're already doing that to help them spruce up their game.
Inside: I show you the innards of my cold, cruel, black heart.

HOWTO: Avoid your civic duties, write a self-indulgent missive about the experience

I didn't understand. Every time I've ever been asked to contribute to society, I simply wrote some bullshit excuse to weasel out of it. Contributing is for other people, not a precious important snowflake such as myself. So I'd pen some dishonest and dishonorable excuse and whine my way out of it. They'd always let me know that I was excused because, let's face it, if there's anything drearier than a court employee's having to track down some selfish and self-centered asshole and get him to make even the minimal contribution to our common polity, then I don't know what it is. So I'm not worth their time, and they always let me slide, until now.
But this time, they actually had some serious shit brewing. They were going to make me come in and prove to their faces that I valued my convenience above my honor.

Are you out-of-shape? Neurotic? Feel like society has cornered you into a prescribed job where you cannot express your creativity? Welcome to K5.
Do you desire to rid yourself of it all, move back to a more simple, pure existence, at least for a few days?
Do you want a vacation that you can't find on TripAdvisor?
Do you know that the answer is wilderness backpacking, but don't want the pain and expense that comes along with it? Or, do you love efficiency and the idea of streamlining your material existence? Then, I give here the experience of 6+ years of painful experimentation, hoping that you can build upon my learnings.
This story is about ultralight backpacking: exploring the wilderness with an extreme minimum of equipment.

Announcing: WakeRiteTM Alarm Clock
by MichaelCrawford in MichaelCrawford's Diary

Tags: MichaelCrawford, WakeRiteTM, Sleep, Alarm Clocks, Geometric Visions, Ogg Frog, GoingWare, Schizoaffective Disorder (all tags)
Good news everybody! In my ongoing quest to manage my sleeping patterns, I have discovered a utility called an 'Alarm Clock', browsing a free software site. This application, and applications like it, work by emitting a loud sound when the clock's internal timer coincides with a time value of my own choosing. This timely emission of noise disrupts the user's slumber, waking them up.

We look like them, but there's a difference...
Kuro5hin.org looks like a lot of other weblogs you see in your everyday clicking. But there is one important difference in how we operate here, that you may not be familiar with, or even, at this point, aware of.
You see, Rusty and the other editors do not pick what stories appear on the front page here. Really. Sure, they can, but in practice, they very rarely do.
So how do stories get posted? You post them! Yes, really. The readers evaluate and decide which stories they think "fit" and which ones are just filler.

OK I am bored this weekend and decided to update THE NOW FOREVER DEAD KO4TING WEBSITE.
Weekends @ Kuro5hin are almost as dead as Ko4ting. If you are bored this weekend too and care to do some Summer reading, go through the following FP stories of 2007. I would post a poll but there were 45 FP stories in 2007 and the poll does not have that many choices to make.
I will post in the ghetto the WINNARS after the story dumps (I would cancel at some point but you know how that goes).

Everything is more expensive nowadays. Beer, grain, bread, beer, food, gas, and beer. The important things in life it seems. How can we rectify this situation?
We should conserve food, water, and grain by combining them into beer. But how do we make the jump cheaply without buying one of those $100 beer brewing kits and a bunch of pots and pans?
Inside, the secrets of cheap beer!
