Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

When we show up, we win.

The willow is too close to the house.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

I really should read my own blog.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Republicans in disarray!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Razer Diamondback

I just plugged in my new Razer Diamondback, and I have to say, I don’t like it near as much as my old Boomslang. It is too small and too light.

Fortunately, I just found a couple Boomslang’s on EBAY that I am buying. Why does it always seem that they are discontinuing every product I enjoy?

    Same here. I’ve recently lost my favorite cereal (Crunchy Corn Bran) and hair product (Joico’s Con-text molding putty).

    Why am I having visions of George Clooney and his obsession with Dapper Dan Pomade?

    But on the technology front… I guess I haven’t worried that much about a mouse for quite some time. I used to play a game called netrek, which was originally X11 based and relied upon a 3rd button. One for phasers, one for torps, and the other for steering. (it was a 2D game, steer with mouse, select speed with keyboard)

    But I long since gave up that. Now I mostly play 3D shooters, RTCW, CoD, BFV, and lately BF2.

    I have a Microsoft Wireless Optical desktop Elite, or whatever it’s called. It’s an Intellimouse and a wireless keyboard. I don’t notice any reaction time issues, except if cat hair gets into the area with the optics and then I yell “OMG! NOO!!!!” Also, occasionally Microsoft nicely tells me that my signal is low, blah blah blah. even after new batteries.

    And it’s not that I completely suck. I’m better than average.

    I did decide last week that I need to upgrade my 5900XT card to a 6600GT. That seems to be the top end card you can get on the AGP bus. Maybe in a year or two I’ll upgrade to PCI-Express.

    Wow, the Boomslang is a high end gamer mouse, John. What do you need it for? When I’m fighting on Battlefield Vietnam sometimes, I use my regular Logitech OEM laser mouse for 12€. A high tech mouse wouldn’t help much, because my reactions are the problem, not the mouse response or resolution :(

    So, you’re a regular highscorer on one of those first person shooters? Which is it?

    As much as I loved my old Boomslang, I just couldn’t stand using a mouse with a ball after trying an LED or laser mouse. The Diamondback is a fair substitute for the Boomslang, but I wish they’d kept the old styling. The four extra buttons on the sides are practically useless.
