community-sharing

I’ve been thinking about web community a lot lately. Sometimes it feels like the NWW instead of WWW (neighborhood-wide-web). But I think that feeling is coming mainly from blogs… and now Friendster. I think there’s a new killer application on the horizon and I want to be a part of it. Want to hear about […]

shovel head

Okay, so this is my first real posting and I told Chris I’d try to find this video. If you haven’t seen this, it’s quite possibly the funniest goddamn thing I’ve ever seen. Please enjoy and I hope to bring more laughter into your lives.

Transformers Movie

“Producer Tom DeSanto has been talking about the indevelopment Transformers movie “There’s no better mythology to bring to the big screen than Transformers. Transformers has got great characters and created an iconic world, and the mythology still resonates with people 20 years after it was launched. Even though they’re robots the characters have a lot […]

move over James

While reading a short entry on Gizmodo this morning, I stumbled on a little post about THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!
007, get the fuck out of the way, a British company (figures) named Gibbs has released a moderately high performance roadster car that can drive right into the freakin’ water. You have to see the Gibbs […]

hehe

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette,with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg, looking a bit ticked off, grabs the sheet, rolls over,and says: “Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!”
Thanks to Julia for the email.

file-sharing amnesty?!

I don’t want to harp on this too much. It’s sort of an old and tired subject. But, as far as I’m concerned the RIAA can go fuck itself.

transformers movie

I got this great video file maybe a year ago, and I didn’t share it here. I am not sure why. I don’t even remember where I originally got it. Now that Mike so kindly brought the new live action / CG Transformer movie effort to our attention, I though this might be more relevant.
Sorry […]

dalai lama

I decided that I needed to do a pixel person of somebody really good for a change. I went on that streak a while back of doing the evil dictators and leaders. You might remeber the Osama, and Saddam, and Kim Jung Il, and the Pope… Well, the goodest guy I could think of was […]

comments?

I added commenting to the photo section tonight. You can now give me some feedback on photos directly. I’d actually really appreciate it if you did. I haven’t been posting new pictures recently because I broke my Pentax at a wedding last month. It is at Pentax being repaired. Hopefully it’ll be done soon, and […]

Ozbournes

The UK MTV site has an awesome Ozbournes site with a shockwave game where you can select family members and walk around and interact with a virtual Ozbournes house, Habbo-style. They chose to use iconic illustrator-style instead of pixel art, which works well here. I can’t help to wonder how it would have looked using […]

old excuse

I was cleaning out some old message in my Yahoo! Mail this afternoon and found this 100% TRUE excuse I sent to my boss and teammates for being late on Friday, June 22nd, 2001. Keep in mind that I am late EVERY day, and this excuse was for being REALLY late, like noon or something. […]

his name is linux

I have seen the IBM Open Linux commercial 3 times this afternoon, and I think it’s brilliant! THAT, to me, is fantastic advertising. Says nothing about whatever “linux” might be, but I guess the commercial isn’t for people who don’t know what linux is already. It’s a gorgeous announcement that IBM thinks it is the […]

Self-grower.

Samorost is Czech for “self-grower”… and I have to admit that I have yet to manage to get beyond the second level. Can we turn on the group-brain and walk through the really great world of :Samorost?

MAD

Let’s all thank Mark Evanier’s blog for this. Here’s every cover of mad magazine ever published. What facsinates me is that it’s been published since 1952 and has only released 433 issues. This book has NEVER been monthly. Worth a look if just to see what movies we were into.
Coincindentally, my good friend’s dad […]

the quick and dirty from India

Scott and Anita are good friends of mine. Scott’s a midwestern hipster with fucked up facial hair, and Anita a beautiful young Indian woman with a fantastic ass. They are getting married the traditional way, and Scott will be riding in on a white horse with a sword and traditional Indian clothing. I am dead […]

after life

I found this great website from kottke.org. After Life is a beautiful, semi-interactive, semi-animated, series of cemetery photographs by another guy named Jonathan Clarke. Not our Jonathan Clarke. This work is really, really nice. I’ve never seen someone take beautiful photographs before and then use flash to subtly animate background grass, and leaves, and snow, […]

the grinch that stole music

Like I said recently, fuck the RIAA, especially if they’re sueing 12 year old girls!! This is really getting rediculous. If anybody wants any of my 12 GB of music, please come by the house with an external firewire harddrive, and you can have IT ALL.

Solution?

I know Chris loves Itunes - he even displayed to me how easy it was to buy music. A friend just sent me this link. Not saying I agree or disagree…yet (need to do a bit more homework), but food for thought.

And the artist?

Pat Mannion sent around this article a couple of years ago. Luckily, Mitchell’s post linked right to it. Steve Albini produced Nirvana’s ‘in utero’ and here he gives the truth about record contracts.

you just can’t make this stuff up….

A New York man actually packed himself in a crate and shipped himself from his home to his parents house in Texas. I am not kidding. Anybody curious how the department of homeland defense didn’t catch this one?

The craziest thing in the world just happened to me.
Around 10:15pm tonight I fell dead asleep on the floor of my living room in the middle of chapter 2 of Jonathan Ames’, “What’s Not To Love.” My sister was on the opposite side of the room, also quietly reading. She was reading the […]

isn’t it ironic…

don’t you think…
Isn’t it ironic that the lyrics to Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” don’t contain any lines that are really ironic? There’s maybe 3 lines that are borderline, and everything else is pretty much just bad luck. Listen up people, BAD LUCK ISN’T IRONY. That means you, Jay. Read for yourself:
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won […]

cereal

I am 30 years old and I LOVE Cocoa Puffs! I am not ashamed. I also love Frosted Flakes. But that’s it. Those are my favorites. I used to love peanut butter Capt’n Crunch, the one with the elephant on the box, but I don’t think they make those anymore.
I find that both of my […]

old SNL

I have a crappy old Saturday Night Live from like 98 or something on in the background…Roseanne Barr is the host. She sucks. I am working from home today. Anyway, Norm McDonald on Weekend Update just said, “Kenny G has a new Christmas Album out this year! Happy Birthday Jesus! Hope you like CRAP!” […]

raed tihs!

Yesterday’s Slashdot had a fascinating post about scrambled word recognition: Can You Raed Tihs? outlines some research, and some other places to get more information. Bottom line is this, if the first and last letters are correct, and the word is the right length, your brain fills in the rest by itself - you don’t […]

airline QA

I got this email earlier today. I rarely get anything worth sharing, but this one was. So here you go…
After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the […]

Rossi, just emailed me a link to the image below on this student’s website. I am so psyched that I cancelled my fishing trip for tomorrow. Can you believe what that looks like?! I’ve never seen anything like that. I do know this, the only sound louder than that hurricane on that ship would be […]

TV

My independent side tells me that reality TV is bad. Reality TV is stifling television creativity, reducing the new crops of upcoming series to just a handful of what appear to be awful sitcoms. As the cheaper reality shows continue to spring up EVERYWHERE, networks no longer want to spend any money on […]

who’s lonely?

Dave Wasklewicz sent this along today. If any guys are desperate for a girlfirend (it happens to all of us sooner or later), this guy’s trading his ex-girlfriend for beer. The sad thing is if I was single, I’d actually consider responding.

Van Halen warrior

The age old question of who would win the fight between David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar has been answered definitively once and for all. That’s right, not only is David Lee Roth the better lead singer, he’s also a samurai…
