Hack your zits at home! It’s inspirational!

Yes, it’s true. Using logic and reasoning works at home, too, and not just at the doctor’s office! What’s even more amazing is, if you call up the doctor and say “Hey, the pills don’t work but the cream does, and certain foods make the problem worse or better, whaddya think?” they’ll probably find it interesting and have advice!

Just a tip, though: if you’re taking meds for a serious fucking ailment, don’t play mix ‘n’ match or decide on the fly to treat your problems by cutting out marshmallows or wearing more colorful pants. As much as geeks think we can hack and outsmart everything, there may be limits to our starchild crystal wonder powers. For example, I hear biochemistry is hard! And slow, painful death sucks! And reading the manual is an even better idea when you’re doing tech support for your own viscera!

I almost expect to read the next entry: WELL FOLKS IT TURNS OUT THAT OVERCLOCKING A CAROTID ARTERY OBSTRUCTION HAS SOME ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WE HADN’T FORESEEN AND LONG STORY SHORT CORY’S A DROOLING VEGETABLE NOW!! SO HE’LL BE UPDATING MORE OFTEN!!

DEAR CORY, XENI, AND ALL THE BOINGBOING PALS

I READ YOUR POST ON HOW TECH PROS COULD HELP WITH RECOVERY FROM HURRICANE KATRINA AND ITS AFTERMATH, LIKE WITH ALL OUR TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE MAYBE OR FREE VOIP OR SOME TYPE OF INTERACTIVE PISSLET. I HAVE A GREAT IDEA. MAYBE ALL THE TECH PROS SHOULD WRITE A FUCKING CHECK, SINCE WE’RE OVERPAID WEENIES WITH NICE OFFICE JOBS? YOU KNOW, BASICALLY FORTUNATE FIRST-WORLD WINNERS WITH A LOT OF DISPOSABLE INCOME AND TIME TO FUCK AROUND ON THE INTERNET? YEAH.

OH I GUESS WHAT YOU REALLY MEANT WAS THAT YOU’RE ALL UNABLE TO FUNCTION AS ANYTHING EXCEPT GAMERS, DIGERATI, MEDIA WHORES, AND LOUDMOUTHS AND YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO JUSTIFY THAT IN LIGHT OF A GENUINE HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY. CARRY ON!
