On Notice
Published 18 October 2006
Hi! You've stumbled upon a blog post by a guy named Ryan. I'm not that guy anymore, but I've left his posts around because cool URIs don't change and to remind me how much I've learned and grown over time.
Ryan was a well-meaning but naïve and priviledged person. His views don't necessarily represent the views of anyone.
I'm a recent convert to the Colbert Nation. While not a slobbering, drone-like worshipper, his combination of egomaniacal self-confidence and fearless lack of tact remind me of an older me. In his honor (to me) he broadcast my "On Notice" list for the world, which I happened to grab through the magic of YouTube.*
Who is On Notice
Red States : Knock it off. Stop ruining America while wearing a star-spangled tie.
Trek Glowacki : The walls have ears.
The World Hunting Association : Call me when you've decided.
"Good to go" : I'm putting an official bounty on anyone who says this and has not auditioned for the right. ASP/.NET : Everything you ever wanted to do in PHP, only with the bonus of bloated markup and you getting to pay Microsoft for the privilege. Excellent for bad programmers and folks who are tired of waxing philosophical about Java. Learn Rails. Or PHP. Or anything else. The State of Ohio : Must. Drive. Faster.
Dreamhost : I am seriously tired of downtime. And slow tech support. And my boss breathing down my neck because I recommended you. Get your act together. Sergio I. Villarreal Pou : Where the hell did you go? If you're not dead, then you had better start blogging again. Stop taking pictures of naked girls and start writing. You're that good.
