Assorted bullshit about video games, language, music, and some other unabashedly personal shit. And maybe some stuff that's kind of funny? I don't know. I just don't fucking know, alright? Would you give me a fucking break? Jesus, Mom.

You can also find me:

I also write Britishisms, a blog about moving to the US, and Tuneage, a music blog I co-founded. I curate Give Me Something to Read. I started Word Journal, and I occasionally contribute to The Small Picture.

CrunchPad Dead? Delayed By Higher-Than-Expected Costs? →

The difference here is that the CrunchPad is not aimed at developing countries, but at Silicon Valley nerds. And if it’s going to cost $600 or $700 for a CrunchPad, which only supports Web surfing, it’s going to be tricky to compete with better devices from tech giants that cost just a few hundred dollars more. (For instance, the forthcoming Apple tablet, which could cost less than $1,000.)

Excuse me for just one second, Business Insider, but did you just compare the cost of an as-yet-nonexistent device that doesn’t even have a price tag to the cost of another as-yet-nonexistent device that doesn’t even have a price tag?

I believe you did.

Woah. Deep.
