It’s one thing to make a bootleg dvd in Asian countries. It’s something else to ask someone WOEFULLY incapable to translate it into English or “Engrish” as this site of a Two Towers dvd CLEARLY demonstrates.
And, yes, the title above is a direct quote. Isn’t that beautiful?
So, I am kindof having a long week. I haven’t been writing much, but that doesn’t mean that a lot isn’t going on.
I was away trying to learn to snowboard in Killington, Vermont over the weekend. I had a good time, but nearly broke my ass - literally. I’ll post a separate story about […]
Pat posted a comment to a recent post where he described an interesting, but unconsidered, design for the renewed World Trade Center space..
“I don’t know how to post a new topic on your site, but everyone should check-out www.sydmead.com and look at his WTC design proposal (obviously it was not chosen).
For those of you who […]
I got my first email communication from terry@terribleterrytate.com this morning. Here it is:
You’ve seen Terry Tate clean up the office, but who’s he gonna straighten out next? Hint: this victim is definitely not adhering to dress code. Check out Terry’s latest hit here:

As a Hit Squad member, you’re entitled to a photo-quality autographed picture […]
It looks like Warner Brothers is releasing a very cool DVD this year. THE ANIMATRIX is a compilation of short films from 7 acclaimed anime directors, revisiting the concept of the Matrix. The trailer looks phenomenal. It looks like the animators over at Square (the ones who did Final Fantasy) may have done one of […]
I can’t believe I forgot to post this back 3 weeks ago when Slob sent it to me. This is a great little viral application that GE put together for their Imagination campaign. You really should see this. It’s the best little flash drawing application that I have seen. Add in the recording and sending, […]
This weeks NY Times magazines features a long article about how people (with lower education, in my opinion) drive NASA (and other a little more educated people) crazy. OK, everybody can state their opinion in this country, they can believe in whatever they choose.
But sometimes it costs money (and nerves) what they are doing. […]
Well, it took me a few years but I’ve finally given something back. Yep, I’m finally selling something on ebay. It’s guitar equipment so I know not all of you will be fighting over it, but if any of you guys (we’ve got a few players here) could use a Tony Iommi signature humbucker […]
The greatest web application ever is now even better. Last night I visited habbohotel for the first time in many months. It friggin rules. I give these guys credit for being my ultimate inspiration when I first started pixel-drawing.
They have made many improvements while I was gone. They changed the way the private rooms […]
The Lomo LC-A I “won” on eBay finally arrived, all the way from Slovakia. Although it arrived without the promised cracked plastic case and original Russian manual, I excitedly began shooting rolls of film. I made some mistakes, and most of the pictures I took are crap. This is NO fault of little lomo. I […]
Oh yeah. Terry Tate is back with such hillarious lines as, “”You got mail, baby. Woooo!” and “Ain’t nobody downsizin’ this…” in the latest and greatest installment of the Terry Tate Office Linebacker series, Draft Day. I laughed, I cried, I watched it 6 times. Woooo! (also note that I made an honorary Terry Tate […]
This japanese guy’s website has a series of the cutest pictures of puppies I have ever seen. They are all taken close-up through a fish-eye lens. I am normally immune to this type of emotion. However, right now I am experiencing what can only be called, “a cute attack.” I have had them before but […]
MoveableType version 2.6 is now available from moveabletype.org. This site has been successfully upgraded. I’ll be taking advantage of some of the great new features very, very soon.
My sister(roommate) found out that I went to a restaurant opening in Red Hook last night. I got home at 2am and woke up really, really late today. I found this cute note greeting me. Very funny.
Restaurant was called 360. It’s on Van Brunt St. in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It is fantastic. The owner, Arno, […]
Tacitus, the Roman philosopher, once wrote, “In order to know the character of any people, you have only to observe what they love.” In the case of the French, they have become a country of effeminate sophisticates, adept at verbiage but absolutely useless when it comes to actual action and real accomplishment.
There is seriously no better snack food in the world than a $.25 Little Debbie Fudge Brownie. God damn that’s good food.
So, the next great cartoon is clearly MTV’s Clone High. This is some seriously funny, seriously inspired animated history in a high school. In case you aren’t aware, this is a vector-ish style cartoon about the high school lives of cloned historical figures, centered around Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, JFK, and Cleopatra, plus […]
It appears the duct taped window biological weapon defense is flawed in many ways. That’s OK I guess, because I wasn’t one of the many running out to stock up.
I have been a duct tape fan long before September 11th however. During this whole “threat level orange” thing, I did recall a favorite quote about […]
Remember the days of snow fights? Chris, you remember we were always on the same side and the D’Antonio’s were on the other. I miss the days of getting pelted in the face with a 3lb ball of ice….. As i broke my ass yesterday trying to create a space for my car i actually […]
I’d like to welcome a new author to the blog. Everyone please welcome my oldest, best friend from across the street in Staten Island, Mike Scotti. Welcome Mike. Please post funny stuff - I know you are capable.
The new trailer for X-Men 2 is out and ready to watch at quicktime.com. It looks really, really good, and includes a bunch more X-Men than they priginally let on were in it. From what I see, they have Nightcrawler, Pyro, Iceman, Colossus, Lady Deathstrike, Kitty Pryde, plus all the usual X-Men 1 characters. I […]
ABC news has this great story of special security technology used to help protect our ships in the Persian Gulf. Alex and Zachary are highly trained sea lions, yes sea lions, who partol the waters off the coast of Bahrain. They are trained to attach special markers to any person they find in the water […]
MoveableJive is a pretty great little pluggin that does all these cool language translations that everyone thinks are so funny, automatically. You know, translate into Jive, translate into ebonics, translate into Valley girl, etc. That means that you simply set the Text formatting box to the “language” you want, and it does the translating before […]
I sat home tonight, out of laziness and fear of monsoon. I just had no motivation to take a shower, get dressed, and go spend money drinking and womanizing. I’d rather sit here on the floor and watch TV, play with moveabletype and surf porn. Cheap, fun, and LAZY.
This is Jive-talk.
I have been watching a lot of History channel lately. There are some fantastic World War 2 documentaries around. One thing I have learned is that German tanks were far superior to American ones.
This is German-accent.
I “viewed source” on that X-men trailer page and was able to find the URL to the movie directly. Posted here, you can right click it, and “Save Target AS” in order to get a local copy of the trailer. It’s pretty annoying that they don’t have an easier way to do this without using […]
I am having trouble sleeping, since I woke up today at 2:30pm. Therefore I now have brand spanking new lomohome on lomography.com. You should check it out. Their setup is pretty cool. If you’ve got a lomo, you should probably sign-up for one of these. Please don’t expect exclusive pictures there. Everything I posted is […]

I found a disturbing music industry post on slashdot this morning. The NY Daily News wrote a music industry case study that will be shocking to some. Others, like Rob, will laugh because he knows how true it is. The article is summed up by the slashdot poster:
“A band that sells 500,000 records for $8,490,000 […]
PCMag.com has a 5 star review of the new, $8,000, digital SLR pro camera, the Canon EOS-1Ds. This 11 megapixel camera comes with a host of amazing features, and has image resultion so dense, it wasn’t measurable by the standard chart. According to the article, “we weren’t able to measure the EOS-1Ds’s exact resolution, because […]
There’s no fucking way this is possible, but it works every time. I have no idea how. It is clear that there are some limited answer possibilities given the math involved, but still, how does it know? Check out the Flash Mind Reader NOW!
Thanks to Rob for the link.
Drop this one in the “What Kind of World Do We Live In?” file. Says here on cnn.com that a man shot a little girl for throwing a snowball at his daughter. Yes, we are using firearms in SNOWBALL FIGHTS! There truly is no limit to the overrreactions we Americans are capable of (insert […]
Yet another blog that talks about very very bad software (on a mac): perversiontracker.com/
they review crap, give comments on it (most of them seem to hate realbasic) and save us all from embarrased looks when some crap application turns our system folder into a wild gooey mush.
also nice to read: crazyapplerumors.com/
