I don’t know why but I thought of this info-graphic from The Onion and started giggling hysterically. I had to cover my face because it was really quiet at work. Again, I don’t know why.

The Onion never fails to please on the infographic. But, for some reason the line “spilling beer all over the goddamn place” from this infographic just cracks my shit up. Maybe because I can picture some drunk driver cursing it up. I don’t know. Drunk driving isn’t funny. That’s not why I’m laughing. It’s the capture of the character, the capture!

So funny.

Thought this picture was kind of neat. Found at this site(chuzy.com) from a trip to NYC on 2004.09.11. Good pics.

Interesting post on FiOS, google and telecom-based Internet access. Clearly he has some incredibly true points. However, like me, I think he’s looking at it from the tech-side which is not the way the world works.

Cable has no intention of offering business-class and open-policy broadband. It is married to media giants. Telecoms can’t get their act together because they are old and ‘last mile’ people. Wireless is the easiest way for a real tech company (like Google) to offer basic net service. Really fast wireless not invented yet would be even better. Obviously, fiber rules but it’s no good for getting all of suburbia or all of urban USA connected up.

This is awesome. Cuke, C3 Peanut and Obi Wan Cannoli.

Cuke: What do you mean Obi Wan Cannoli?
Obi Wan Cannoli: For over a thousand generations, organic food like us lived in harmony with the ways of the farm.
Cuke: The farm?
Obi Wan Cannoli: Yes Cuke. The farm is what gives us our power. It’s a kind of a … field … that creates all edible things.

Stupid allergies. Found this @ /..

Xsan. Call it the i6320. :/

WTF. Funny, not great acting. Just some guy f-ing with Final Cut Pro.

From the same site above, a flash page where you can mix beats and blips. My favorite was this one.

Wallpaper.

Wallpaper! OMG. Where have you been all my life!

This link is really interesting. Love reading about this stuff. Love how classic physics breaks down, imho, because everything is so damn micro. Classical = macro = lots of things working all together. It’s a matter system.

But I’m no expert. Want to read this all the way through. Posty.

Google cache of this link although it was taken down for whatever reason. Funny crap.

1. Speed limits are just suggestions
2. You take a major highway to school (95, 66,28, etc)
3. You constantly complain about there being nothing to do, even though you are right next to DC
4. You have at least 2 friends who have no idea what their parents do because its “top secret” government work
5. 50% of your senior class plans on going either to Mason, JMU, Tech or UVA
6. When people ask where you’re from, you tell them DC because its easier to explain
7. You’ve never told someone you’re from Virginia without putting “northern” in front of it
8. When you and your friends get bored you all whip out your cell phones and start playing with them
9. Its not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you.
10. A yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through. (more…)

This is just a TODO movie watching list for myself. Go away. Friend of a friend is a movie-buff and recommended these. This is all second-hand knowledge and it might kill you.

Noice.

Not bad tunes on this guy’s site. Mp3′s are on the right. Not my styles but still pretty decent. Blog looks interesting and boaty.

Sites about music are so hard to maintain. My stupid page . You need some kind of quick preview or background music. Flash players seem like a really nice interface to quickly listen to music.

Graphical art translates well to the web, a page of music doesn’t.
Music translates well in a concert, an art exhibit isn’t as easy to navigate as a web gallery.

Writers who use a computer swear to its liberating power in tones that bear witness to the apocalyptic power of a new divinity. Their conviction results from something deeper than mere gratitude for the computer’s conveniences. Every new medium of writing brings about new intensities of religious belief and new schisms among believers. In the 16th century the printed book helped make possible the split between Catholics and Protestants. In the 20th century this history of tragedy and triumph is repeating itself as a farce. Those who worship the Apple computer and those who put their faith in the IBM PC are equally convinced that the other camp is damned or deluded. Each cult holds in contempt the rituals and the laws of the other. Each thinks that it is itself the one hope for salvation.
