It's about time.Formula 1 has introduced a new points system which will result in the driver with most wins crowned 2009 champion.The current points system will still operate to decide a tie if two drivers have the same wins and to define all other championship positions.Only 50 years too late. Finally, no more rewards for drivers tooling around in 2nd or 3rd position and playing the points. If

To all my friends around the world, I wish you a Merry Christmas. If you're Jewish, make that a Happy Hanukkah. If you're an athiest, make that a Merry and Blessed Christmas. And if you're an Islamist who wants me dead because I'm an infidel, well... fuck you. Now on to the New Year's resolutions:Be it resolved that I will stop writing angry blog posts. Unless provoked, that is. I cannot promise

First impression: It's distorted. To the point of distraction. After Metallica's last joke of an album which sounded like it was recorded on an old Radio Shack cassette player, I thought this was going to be yet another $16 wasted. It doesn't help when I'm told by Lars to just deal with it.Yeah, well... shut the fuck up, Lars. Forgive me, I'm not a professional recording engineer, but I'm fairly

Another brilliant work by Neal Stephenson. Lots of blog chatter about the book, and as I expected people seem to either love or hate Stephenson's style - complex plots, wordiness, drawn out tangents, anticlimactic endings. I am squarely in the pro-Stephenson camp, as I appreciate books that require attention. I've read almost all of Stephenson's previous novels, and this is possibly his best. If

...and I'm liking it. Some didn't understand, though. My pal, for example:AA: I don't get it.Me: It's like a book, except when you fall asleep and it falls to the floor, it costs $350 to replace.AA: I still don't get it. What's different about it than a book?Well, the big differences:1. Size - Don't compare its size to a single book, but a stack of books. A really, really big stack of books.
