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!

    What are You Passionate About?

    Bycasabona

    I was having a conversation with a friend recently that lead me to ask myself that very question. I’ve written about passion on occasion and have a general idea of what I’m passionate about, but the question struck me differently this time. I think it’s because the question wasn’t asked of me outright. It was…

    You Can’t Rush Results

    My wife is a nurse and had to work this past weekend, which put me on dad duty. For lunch, we usually have Uncrustables or chicken nuggets. But for dinner, I decided to cook chicken cutlets, the way my mom used to make. I started heating two pans on high — the Always Pan (which…

  • On Leaving Twitter

    I mocked these posts. Made fun of people. Told them at Christmas that no one cares if you leave Twitter1. Now I’m writing the post. Banning 3rd party apps, and turning on the “Home” feed (with stuff you didn’t opt-in to seeing) was a bridge too far. It took my carefully curated experience and turned…

    Note: this is an update to an article I wrote in 2010, when I went from college to full time freelance. I started freelancing all the way back in 2002, when my church came to me looking for a website. As a junior in high school, I used Frontpage, and GMail had yet to grace…

  • The Block Editor isn’t as bad as you think it is.

    Bycasabona

    I’ve been seeing a troubling trend of people trashing the block editor because they didn’t like it early on. But even more so, they say it’s worse for users, which is patently untrue. We’ll unpack that in this week’s main segment. Plus: Happy Trails to Andrea Middleton, who’s leaving Automattic this month, Automattic aquires Frontify, and the Classic Editor gets another year of support.

  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!
