Get your creep on.
Yes, I steal everything from Boing Boing. They have a lot of neat stuff okay!
I am so checking out this website when I get home!
This was right around the time that Napster was just beginning to penetrate into the average computer user’s lives. At the same time, an audio utility program called MusicMatch Jukebox was also being widely used, since it was often pre-installed on off-the-shelf PC’s. MMJ allowed you, among other things, to make recordings using the cheap microphone included with the PC, and save the file in mp3 format. If you didn’t give the audio file a name, it assigned a default name “mic in track” followed by a number. Now if you were also running Napster, and you were careless enough to be sharing everything on your computer (which *many* were), then anyone also running Napster could just do a search for “mic in track” and find and download these personal recordings, usually without your knowledge.
I am that guy. I’ve amassed many, many hours of these recordings, which provide endless voyeuristic entertainment. Typical recordings were of people singing, rapping, or playing along with the radio (often badly), kids practicing their school book reports, audio love letters, kids being silly, and so forth. One of my finds was a 14-minute-long recording of a guy praying very fervently and emotionally, even lapsing into glossolalia. I’ve posted many of my favorites on my webpage, for free.
Only killers call killing progress.
Neat photos of modern St. Petersburg that someone incorporated WWII photos into. Imagination is becoming obsolete!
Aerial London at night.
Here are some amazing photos by Jason Hawkes. <– click for more. Via Boing Boing.
PS: With my old wordpress layout, when I uploaded photos it resized them to fit on my page but linked to a copy of the full size version. Why does it not do that anymore?
And they said my LG was a grandma phone…
Holy crap… I thought I wanted an iphone?
With this one, none of these stupid touch pads, I just PRESS THE YES BUTTON.
BINGO
It is hard for me to even comprehend how great this is.
I recently learned how to be good at Scrabble and it’s no fun at all. My old strategy was make the best, longest word I could, opening up the board to play off of. Now I see that is why I was a repetitive loser. I win now, but it’s hollow, so hollow.
PS: LOOK AT HOW CUTE YOUNG ADULT JEFF IS. AWWWW.

Makes sense. So that’s my problem. I need anti-fear-pills.
Had a good weekend. The sun was shining. It was cold, but at least the sun was shining.
Watched Last Night again. Awesome Canadian movie, written and directed by Don McKellar. The premise is that the world is ending in a few hours, but everyone has been prepared for a while. It follows a few people and what they do in their last hours. Worth a watch for sure. Made me want to watch EXistenZ again which we have now downloaded.
Sun = taking the dog to the beach. Even though it was motherfucking windy!
No Warcraft all weekend! WTF!
Holy fuck.
Talk about childhood trauma:
TRACK OF THE DAY: THE STOOGES – I WANNA BE YOUR DOG. Shit I have always loved this song. I was pretty happy when they played it at the bar last weekend. A BAR THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS GOOD MUSIC. SO weird.
Schwulaaahhh
What a mother-fucking, cock-sucking, piece of shit cunt monkey.
State Senator Robert Ford is hoping to outlaw lewd language and is pushing for a bill that would prohibit profanity.
Under the pre-filed bill, profanity could land you in jail for up to 5 years and/or cost you up to $5,000 in fines.
Which words are exactly considered profane is still unclear, but the bill does have a list of qualifications for profanity including words or actions that are lewd, vulgar or indecent in nature.
