This predecessor to the “X-Cop Fly Company”, this blog was named after an inside joke. It was a personal journal coming from an immature humor perspective – [...]

From The Telegraph: British film archivists yesterday have released footage which apparently shows the world’s first mobile phone being used – in 1922.

Some commenters have been asking whether or not the site can be quoted or reproduced. I have been putting off deciding this – I will not use the popular Creative Commons licenses because later versions include a sneak GPL-style provision allowing relicensing under “compatible licenses” approved by Creative Commons (the organization) as “in the spirit” [...]

A friend of my sister’s tonight had what I think was a Blackberry, or something similar with a keypad and Internet access. As I always wondered how difficult it would look, she told me that it worked on certain major sites like Gmail, Amazon, etc., or sites designed for mobile phones, with it being possibly [...]

These quizzes have been around for ages, but I haven’t been to BBSpot since way before xcopfly.com came into existence. So I took a bunch of these quizzes again. Which OS are You? Which File Extension are You? How White and Nerdy Are You? Which Caffeinated Beverage [...]

Some people told me that they were grossed out by the image of the brown gnat. So I made my own quick sketch of a gnat using pastel and charcoal pencil. You can see it in the upper right hand corner where the real-life X-Cop Fly photo used to be. Also removed “Pages” from the [...]
