Why does our government seem so frakkin stupid?
A well thought out piece on why the Indonesian government is hell bent on pushing through the decisions that it has set out to do. Two examples are:
- Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring’s crusade against porn on the internet to the point where he’s threatening to block BlackBerry services unless RIM filters out access to pornography from its channels.
- Religon Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali’s war against the Ahmadis, an officially unrecognized Islamic sect declared to be illegal due to difference in teachings from the widely accepted variety of Islam in Indonesia.
Both ministers and everything they stand for are highly unpopular among the opinionated, critical and well informed group. Unfortunately, this group isn’t strong enough to force a change yet.
These decisions are being made because human and individual rights as well as supposed common sense are largely irrelevant or inconsequential to the rest of the people who just wish that these things were never brought up in the first place.
If you’re wondering, that other one is Sean Matsuda from SF III
It’s a threesome now
Batman Incorporated. Batfranchise.
Here’s what You Need to know about what’s happening In the Batman books:
- Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson will both be Batman.
- Bruce will have the yellow Batman emblem on his chest bat. Dick Grayson will not.
- Damian Wayne will continue to be Robin.
- Dick is going to remain the Batman for Gotham City.
- Bruce will handle the worldwide franchising in Batman, Inc.
- Dick Grayson ‘Batman’ will be featured in Detective Comics, Batman and Robin, and Batman.
- Bruce Wayne ‘Batman’ will be featured in Batman, Inc. and the Batman: The Dark Knight written and drawn by David Finch.
so there will be FIVE Bat-books each month? crazy.
Damian Wayne or Damon Wayans?

Simplenote. The notes app Apple should have came up with
Being a web oriented writer, I don’t have too much to ask from a text app, just one that has a built in word and character counts and a simple interface. I don’t find the need for text formatting or all the other fancy stuff that many word processing apps offer. Most of the stuff I do don’t even warrant text formatting although there’s that thing with embedding links in text.
Apple’s Notes in iOS is as simple as it gets but it requires me to copy out the text and put it into Pastebot because it doesn’t have word count, which is important in what I do. Notes also uses Marker Felt which tries to look friendly but reminds me of Comic Sans too much.
Along comes Simplenote. It’s the Notes app Apple should have came up with for the iOS. I’ve been using it for a while but it’s been recently updated. I suggest you read Shawn Blanc’s review of it.
The makings of a future Death Star at Rasuna Epicentrum
The builders are clearly working their way up from the bottom. However, the view that the 47th floor offers is spectacular.
It made me theorize that perhaps something very special is being planned for the upper deck.
Maybe I was standing in the future death star nerve center of the great patriarch’s bid to snatch the country from the grasp of the House of Representatives.
Maybe Mr. Bakrie, the apotheosis of Indonesia’s sleaze-ridden political culture, will seize control and run operations from a gleaming, high-tech, top-floor base.
