If you, like me, bought a Lexmark z1420 wireless printer and you, like me, have spent the last four hours trying to get your Macbook Pro to connect to the bloody thing then you, like me, should go to THIS SITE and download the special Leopard drivers which Lexmark neglected to put on the frakking installation disc or even make reference to in their little booklet! It’s April 2008. Leopard was released on October 26, 2007. Not good enough. Thanks for wasting four hours of my life Lexmark – I hate you.

The nice folks at Microsoft Australia (Hi Finula!) have asked me to let you know that REMIX tickets are now on sale. Mark Pesce is the keynote speaker. I’ve never heard Mark speak but I’ve always heard great feedback on his sessions. Funnily, we were just talking about him and how much he charges to speak at events on the 2 Web Crew podcast a couple of days ago.

As I’m continually finding myself discussing the subject of free will with people recently, I created this flowchart to better explain my perspective on the issue.
If you have rebuttals and answers to the questions I pose on the negative side of the chart, please contribute them here in the LOTU forum.

Barack Obama yesterday confessed that if he becomes President of the USA, he’s committed to keeping the US’s #1 military base in the Middle East, aka Israel, open and functioning.
Key quotes:
“As president, I will do everything that I can to help (Israel) protect itself … We will make sure that it can defend itself from any attack, whether it comes from as close as Gaza or as far as Tehran.”
TRANSLATION: “I’m also being controlled by the American military-industrial complex and I’m going to continue our sponsorship of terrorism in the Middle East by supplying Israel with weapons with which to continue their occupation of Palestine.”
He also promised that if he were elected president, the United States would continue to veto anti-Israeli resolutions at the United Nations.
TRANSLATION: “It doesn’t matter what the majority of the world’s governments think about Israel’s occupation of Palestine and state-sponsored terrorism, the United States will continue to support it, using our veto vote on the United Nations Security Council to ensure no action is taken against them, thereby making sure our #1 military base in Oilsville, stays open.”
“Hamas is not a state, Hamas is a terrorist organization.”
TRANSLATION: “I have as little respect for democracy as George Bush. I don’t care if Hamas was voted in by the majority of Palestinians in the January 2006 popular elections. I only like democracy when people who agree with the United States’ interests win.”
Hamas is a Palestinian Sunni Islamist militant organization and political party. It currently holds a majority of seats in the legislative council of the Palestinian Authority. In January 2006, Hamas won the legislative elections, and thus replaced Arafat’s Fatah as leading party of the Palestinian people.
