Just Lose It

The new preview single from Eminem’s upcoming album, Encore (Nov. 16th) is available as a free download on D12world.com. Download Just Lose It in dirty and clean versions. 128kbps unprotected MP3. It’s a funny, good track, and free is always better.
iTunes Music Store has it as an “exclusive” download for $.99. I almost bought […]

Eddie Vedder and the enormous raccoon

Yesterday, Jay and I drove out to Reading, PA to go watch Pearl Jam in concert. It was probably my 12 or 13th time seeing them in concert, and as usual, they continue to outdo themselves. The concert was fantastic. It took 3 1/2 hours to get out there, but the 2 1/2 show was […]

number 2

Before you say something, it DOES seem like I write about shit a lot. Actually, I do write about #2 every once in a while, but it’s only because there is so much to say that hasn’t yet been said.
I have an old friend, Jon (named changed to protect him), who was in the […]

howard stern signs with sirius satellite radio

I know this was all over the news today, but there is a real reason for it, and it isn’t only because mentioning Howard Stern on your show will get you ratings. The reason why this is exciting, newsworthy stuff, is the market changing impact Howard Stern moving his show to Sirius Satellite Radio WILL […]

save bernd!

I wish I thought of this. Honestly I don’t think he is going to collect the money, and I hope he has a pay-per-view of the cookoff. $1 million is a lot of money.
Save Bernd! (or not)
[thanks Matt.]

Aanold got fat

I hurts me to post this. I love Arnold Schwarzenegger! I always have. I think he is driven, and smart, and hard working. He goes out and gets what he wants. All the time. I think I was 10 years old when I predicted he would go into politics. Granted, this picture is from 2002, […]

portable stripper pole

Yeah. It was only a matter of time. A little place called Platinum Stages, which normally sells a portable stage product with a built-in pole, now sells a completely portable brass (or stainless steel) pole that uses tension to attach to the floor and ceiling. Best part:
$159.00!!!
I am ordering one right now. In fact I […]

monobrow

I revise my previous statements about the three universally funny things in this world: monkeys, midgets, and farts. I am now adding the unibrow, or monobrow as it’s called on this new website, monobrow.com.

I guess monkeys, midgets, and farts are hilarious all over the world, and I bet monobrows aren’t very funny in Iraq, or […]

100 MPG!!

A 58 year old, high school dropout, self-taught mechanic turned his 1970 Plymouth Fury into a zero emissions 100 MPG econo-car. Bill Cain realized that normal internal combustion engines waste about 80% of the power contained within gasoline. “…only about 20 percent of it goes to power the wheels, the rest produces wasted heat and […]

unbelievable artwork

This is absolutely incredible. The Zoom Quilt is a zoomable painting, and it’s beatiful and innovative and mind blowing (if you’re high). Seriously, go zoom this thing now.

Leave It To Bush

Some animator used the real voices of Gary Busey and George Bush along with some ferrets and a great soundtrack to create this short animation in Flash: Leave It To Bush. It’s hilarious, and a little bit amazing, and very clever, and very, very weird. Great stuff.

hopphopp

Dope. Some of those jumping French guys, I think, like that old Nike chicken chasing commercial. This acrobatic jumping, flipping, climbing video is incredible. Watch.

If you have a few spare minutes, some of the other videos over at GPrime are awesome also, like SuperSoaker Flamethrower, or BushBall.

bush’s bulge

I am as fair as the next guy. Even though you all might think I am a right-wing nut job, you are wrong. I am actually pretty much a centrist, but I lean right on the economy and defense. I will be supporting GW in the upcoming election.
With that said, this photo looks “pret-ty sneaky […]

triangle of life

I don’t really understand people who decide to settle down and live in the paths of obvious natural disasters. The people of Pompeii learned their lesson good, but for some reason we still have people living in tin boxes in Florida waiting for the 5th hurricane to blow their “home” away. I learned at age […]

Here is a great European commercial for Fiat. It’s a very nice car, apparently George doesn’t come with it. Great ad.

michael gondry video

Watch this brilliant new Michael Gondry video. It’s a roadtrip from LA to Vegas using time lapse photography. Kind of like stop motion, just with a camera that doesn’t move and takes a picture like once per minute or something. This camera is mounted on the back of a convertible. It’s a sweet, sweet visual.

like a deer in the headlights

Literally.
I thought this was a perfectly appropriate news item given the fact that I crushed a raccoon last week and am going tomorrow morning to find out exactly how much damage it caused.
Some guy in England hit was he thought was a stone in the road and then drove home 25 miles. Imaging his surprised […]

good to be in dc

The hilarious brothers, Gregg and Evan, over at JibJab have created yet another fantastic Bush/Kerry song parody with “Good To Be In DC” (In Dixie). You may remember the last song, a remake of the classic, “This Land,” which was fantastic and also raised all this controversy about fair use and what-not. Well, the […]

free flight

This “game”, toy, whatever, is fucking cool. “Free Flight” is another one of many ridiculous projects from ertdfgcvb. You’ll need Shockwave to play it. It’s worth it.

If you’ve got some time on your hands, it’s really worth it to click through the rest of their projects. It’s really phenomenal.

to nintendo

I have often thought there may be some others who’s hearts are occasionally warmed by video game nostalgia. I remember fondly the feeling of satisfaction that washed over me upon the successful victory over a big boss or completion of a level with passcode reward. Oh man, the feeling of total victory when beating the […]

wide awake

I know it’s not uncommon and you may be tired of hearing it, but it’s 5:30am and I am wide awake. No signs of tired whatsoever. I have been tossing and turning in be since 1:30, and I have now given up. I tried reading, and drawing, and music, and now the web. I masturbated […]

best high speed chase, ever

This guy drives like this is a scene from a bad action movie. I have never seen anything like this in real life. Awesome.
UPDATE: 10/12/04: Link updated. Sorry for the porn.

EatPES

You just might remember this little production company of “twisted films” called Pes from a little short film they did where armchairs were making a little love on the roof of an apartment. Screenhead recently posted a clever little 15 second short short of a moth fluttering around a lamp. I clicked through the rest […]

questionable content!!??

I finally figured out what was causing the problem that was preventing some comments from being posted. I use Jay Allen’s MT-Blacklist plugin for moveabletype to help me manage asshole comment spammers. Apparently some common words accidentally made it onto the blacklist with other terms such as “super-granny-fuck.de”. Words like “wait” and “7″ were […]

open letter to baby Jesus

Dear baby Jesus,
I know you have a lot of things to worry about such as terrorists, and wars, and suicide bombers, and catholics, and born again christians and other fundamentalists, and priests who are molesting young boys, but I’d like to talk to you for a second about another problem…
That problem, baby Jesus, is comment […]

found art

About a year ago, I found this great hand-painted wood sign that must have formerly been the style-sign in a really bad barbershop. I love it so much. I haven’t gotten it framed yet, mostly because I am lazy. I will do it soon, I promise.
I love Bashy.

external bat pack

Hack-A-Day is a great new site from the people over at Weblogs Inc. (Engadget, Autoblog, Joystiq…) They basically post at least one hardware hack each day. Of course, they link to other people’s good work, but it is a really nice compilation of old and new hardware hacks they I have lost track of over […]

busted grills

A few months back, I posted about ordering these “Busted Grill” prints from Jamungo. They were limited edition, 1 of 100 available. Here’s a pict of them framed on my livingroom wall.

Jamungo now has 2 more sets on their way, though not available yet, and a couple other new tricks up their sleeves. I’m pretty […]

crossfire

Many different blogs and news sites have posted this story already, but I felt like I missed out by not being part of that. Jon Stewart from the Daily show appeared on CNN’s Crossfire last week. Bottom line, Jon Stewart is a fucking genius, and he handed those dicks their own asses, live on their […]

gti goodness

Roger Hart, of Autoweek, has a great, early review of the new mark V GTI. He got the opportunity to drive it in Germany and has nothing but great things to say about it. All this does is make the wait even more excruciating. You see, the GTI is now available in Europe, but won’t […]

The MTA Weighs In

The N train is under major reconstructive surgery the last few months. This morning I noticed that some of the fine NYC MTA workers had weighed in on current events. Bush 2004. Redsox Sucks.
Redsox Sucks. I love that.

Halloween Debacle III

Mother-fuckers!
Sorry in advance for the cursing. I debated long and hard whether or not to have a party this year. It will be difficult to top last year’s REDICULOUS Halloween Madness II, but we will try. There is no telling how bad this one is going to get. And frankly, I don’t give a fuck. […]

alien hominid

I have seen and played this game many time before, but it took a little post on screenhead to make me remember to tell you all about it.
Alien Hominid is a sweet, sweet, Flash game. Clever, smooth, fast, tight, like a real Ninitendo platformer. You must play this.

make your own photomosaics

Kathlene was recently asking me about how to create a mosaic image out of other photos, but I couldn’t answer in enough detail. Instead I referred her to Slob, who pointed her at some software that didn’t work so well. In the meantime, Engadget did a whole piece on it that’s really worth reading if […]

circuit porn

This is the nerdiest thing I have ever posted. But since I have been soldering and tinkering, I thought this was pretty funny. The photography is pretty good too.
So, here is some porn, made entirely of electronics parts, via gizmodo. Thanks, nerds.

iPod Altoids battery pack v2

I got some new Altoids tins, borrowed a Dremel tool from Mitchell, and purchased brand new firewire connectors from NTC. Here’s my second, cleaner, tighter, much nicer attempt at a sweet external battery pack for iPod. Once, again, credit goes to Drew Perry for the design and inspiration. His is made inside a deck of […]

iPod Photo

All the rumors were correct. Apple released their latest iPod revision today. The iPod Photo will have a 40 or 60 GB HD, a 65K color screen, and TV out via the headphone jack, 15 hour new battery life, syncs with iPhoto, and plays picture slideshows, with music… Bottom line: dope. But expensive. $599 for […]
