Much opposed to the whole green movement, I have decided to make my site more eco friendly by not drawing my comics on paper anymore. I bought myself I Wacom tablet, and once I get used to it there will probably be a lot of higher quality comics on the site. Anyways, that isn’t the point of the post but it’s a decent segue.

I’ve been told that I need to recycle more often. This is true, I’ve thrown bottles, cans, cups, and newspapers in the garbage a countless number of times. This was solely for the reason of convenience. Convenience how? Well, I am not going to carry an empty bottle around until I find a recycling bin. The city of Toronto does a great job of having both a garbage bin and a recycling bin on mostly every street corner, the same can’t be said about other cities. I would be walking around on the beach and I would be drinking a Coke, having finished said Coke I choose to get rid of it. I’m not going to be an asshole and litter it on the ground, instead due to the lack of recycling I’m going to simply throw it in the garbage.

At home however, I always recycle because I have both right in front of me. The only thing that was confusing (before they fixed it) was the recycling company asking me to sort my paper, with my plastic. They later gave up on that and started to sort it themselves. However the convenience for me to recycle is there at home, so I’m going to do it.

Then comes the really confusing moments, when you have something to throw out and only a part of that item is recyclable. I remember being told that only the lid of a Tim Hortons cup was recyclable because it was made of plastic. The rest was not. I can’t confirm this but I’ve seen people taking off the lid, throwing the lid in the recycling, and the cup in the garbage. My question is, isn’t the cup made out of paper?

One great solution for my ‘ever so troubling’ dilemma is having more recycling bins in public. This way there won’t be millions of plastic bottles in landfills.

So recently some of the people I know went off on a huge dramatic shitstorm because they had to make a simple decision. Either go to one event, or go to another person’s event. Pretty simple right? Not for them, they had to complain to person B that it’s not fair that his event is on the same day. Blah blah blah.

Apparently, having a choice to make is too hard for some people. A normal person would look at two things, and decide on which one they would prefer. God help them when these people have to go to McDonalds and place an order. The amount of choices to make will overwhelm them and they would have a nervous breakdown.

No, you aren’t being unfair by choosing one thing over another, you’re just making a fucking decision.

So Microsoft fucked up again and they announced the Kin. What the fuck is this thing? It’s a fucking phone target at HIPSTERS. MY MORTAL FUCKING ENEMY! Anyways, in case you haven’t heard about this phone it’s supposed to be a cheap man’s alternative to an iPhone. By cheap man I mean elementary school kids who feel the need to share with the internet what kind of underwear they are wearing at every single moment.

Basically, it is a phone with very tight social networking integration. Got something interesting to share with your over 9,000 Myspace friends? No problem, just drag it over the share icon and bam! Now everyone can see your LOLs. Which makes me wonder, if you want to do that, what the hell is wrong with a regular Facebook client?

So Microsoft tried to make things simple, but instead they made it confusing as hell. Instead of one mobile operating system, they will now have 3. Windows Phone Classic (rebranded Windows Mobile), Windows Phone 7, and Kin. Way to go Microsoft, high five.

But at least I have the ability to track where I ate what sandwich.

So Sony recently axed the Linux support on all PS3s citing “security issues.” Deep down, the “security issues” mean that it’s a gate to be able to play pirated games. So props to Sony for protecting us from the evil hackers.

What pisses me off more is that people are supporting this. If you go on the Playstation Blog you have a whole bunch of people saying “I never used it, I’m glad to see it gone.” Wait, what?! I never used it either, but it’s never good to see a feature totally disappear. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. There were others who loved this feature and used it every day. Now they are not able. How pissed off do you think they are? That’s like Apple removing the phone features from the iPhone, because we all know that no one makes phone calls anymore. It’s all about the text messaging.

So I end this post by saying: Fuck you Sony, stop removing our features. First it was backwards compatibility, now it’s Linux. What’s next? The Bluray player?
