Jon Cusack 2.0

I can't think of anything to say about this other than I think that the header of the article that lead me to click it was very misleading. To me. Personally. That is not John Cusack.

"I wanted to find something different to name
him besides Jon Blake," Cusack, who is
self-employed with Westshore Design and
Cusack Music, told The Holland Sentinel.

I fear this says much.

So how could we make John Cusack better?

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 2 February 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

He does indeed have a website!

Introducing the
CUSACK SCREAMER!

Of course.

Red light, Green light? What's that all about?
It's the "STATUS" LED, part of Cusack Music's exclusive True Bypass Switching System (TBS²). If the LED is Green, you're in bypass. If it's Red you've got SCREAMER POWER!

Here's his other one. I humbly submit that the design is craptastic.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 February 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

If you do not have the budget for development, and if we think it is a good product idea, we may design it for free. We would then build the product for you.

I have the feeling the kid will change everything.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 2 February 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

That kid will grow up to shoot his father. Or at least I hope he will.

It is SO appropriate that he's from Holland, MI.

That kid will grow up to shoot his father. Or at least I hope he will.

during the 2.1 phase perhaps?

unstable beta.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 2 February 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

It is SO appropriate that he's from Holland, MI.

Which begs the question...

It is SO appropriate that he's from Holland, MI.

Some people are such unfortunate assbaskets.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 2 February 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

That kid is gonna get his ass beaten so many times when he finally gets in school. His dad might as well have named him "Kick me" or "Give me a wedgie."

I found the headline:

Engineering geek names son version 2.0

very difficult to parse in isolation, and was temporarily unable to recognise the word 'son'.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the dad's implicit egotism, like the ickle tyke's grandparents are just beta versions or something.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah N. that headline would not work on the radio.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

As for the story itself, geekmocking aside, what do people think of the idea of hoping our children will be better versions of ourselves?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

This guy kind of guaranteed it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Here's hoping my kids learn to read the first part of sentences

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I sometimes catch myself thinking of it as a fallback option - y'know, like "Well even if I carry on failing then at least I've can have children who might do it right."

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

b-b-but you've got the asparagus thing down cold!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 02:07 (twenty-one years ago)

(I made yr crispy buttery asparagus this weekend and it were the bomb. Gold Master, even.)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

IT IS NOT THE SEASON FOR ASPARAGUS.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah but if you grill the shit out of it who can tell the difference?!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

"I wanted to find something different to name him besides Jon Blake"

So, what he did, you see, was name him Jon Blake.

― Jim Robinson (Original Miscreant), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Version 2.0 is a great name!
