Tired of spending most of your day in situations where you can’t read Killfloor? Were you ever taking a crap and all of the sudden had an overwhelming urge to find out what the hell to do Saturday night? Your day has finally come, for Killfloor is now available on your mobile phone or PDA. Amazing! You can read all the latest entries by date or by category, and there’s even a nifty feature where you can submit a field report to tell others about a bitchin’ party you’re at or your band’s show (please do not submit a field report about how big your penis is). If the field report thing works out we’ll add a feature to the site where you can view what people send in.
To access this awesomeness just type “http://winksite.com/killfloor/mobile” into your phone or PDA’s web browser, and be sure to bookmark it so you can get back easily.

More from the 79th session of the Texas legislature today, also known as the longest running April Fools joke of all time, concerning bill HB 789; which, if passed, would make it impossible for municipalities in Texas to start Wi-fi programs in libraries, parks, and other public places. The bill has garnered support from many representatives, including Rep. Phil King (the bill’s sponsor) and wireless broadband provider SBC, who feel that free municipal Wi-fi is directly competing with businesses whose job it is to deliver wireless internet. As Rep. King puts it, “No business should have to compete with public tax dollars.”
The thing is: SBC, although they may think otherwise, does not own the Internet. Nor do they own the radio waves used by wireless internet or the air in which they reside. These things are in fact owned by the people via the government. If offering Wi-fi in public places infringes on SBC’s right to free-market competition then the world must have gone mad without me noticing. To even remotely compete with businesses then the city would have to offer Wi-fi as a for-profit program. Something which no city has ever done or, as far as I know, planned to do.
But they’re still making a big deal about it. Come on guys, the joke’s not funny anymore.
