Computers: My best friend, my worst enemy

Posted Updated
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Ok- so i have been formulating this post for a while. Its really just a commenting of two news articles I read. the first one I meant to post a while back, but didnt get around to it. Its about how over use of the computer causes glaucoma. Now, I can honestly say that over the past 2 or 3 years, my vision has gotten progressivly worse. Im not saying its from the computer. But I do use it alot. Like, its my job, my major, and my hobby. The Second article is about how men using laptops on their laps can cause testicular dysfucntion, such as low sperm count. In short, the heat generated from the laptop, resting on the lap of the user, is transfered in to the testicular area, where it raises the temperature serveral degrees, and does it work. Sweet. So Im going blind and im not gonna have kids. Later!

    I had the pleasure of going on The Chirp, a podcast about money and relationships by Pigeon Loans. I got to talk religion, philosophy, and my personal journey. It was a lot of fun.

    Life and all of its ups and downs are full of many mysteries, but one thing is clear to us all, we’re all human and we should all be treated as such. This week we got a reminder of exactly that – a motto & sentiment Joe Casabona lives by. A web developer, author, teacher, content creator, and podcaster, Joe takes us through the journey of his life and teaches us how important it is to give back and invest in those around you along the way.

  1. Solution for the first one: get prescripted eyedrops. My uncle is in risk of glaucoma, so he takes drops everyday, so its not a problem. Go to your doctor to see if you are at risk.

    Solution for the second: buy a dell laptop. Why?

    1. They are freggin huge, especially the non-super-compact ones. You gotta keep the legs seperate to fit it on the damn lap.

    2. They get freggin hot. I have to have my box fan on constantly when I play games on it for better air circulation. Why is more hot a good thing? Well, it heats up so fast that your thigh hairs start burning off. Thats when you know when to put it on a desk 😛

    In conclusion: eyedrops, and: no way in hell gonna put my dell laptop on lap.

    freggin.

  2. Oh Joey, I fear for the collective sperm of the nerds of the world. If we can’t reproduce, I guess we’ll have to find a way to live forever. muahahahaha

    by the way, when posting it says “URI” not “URL”, so i peed on it.

  3. Man, Bobeck saying freggin is awesome. Anyway, Joey just start wearing pants when you go on your laptop. Or you can counterbalance the blindness thing by stopping masterbation.

  4. What’s even more awesome is Matt spelling my last name wrong when I obviously had my name spelled out in the comment.

    Zing!
