This Blog is 5 Years Old!

2011-06-10T21:25:00.001-05:00

So in lieu of waiting for some new posts to spring up on this now-rarely updated beast, I decided to go back and check out the very first page of posts, which start in March of 2006. That's five years, baby! Some interesting things to note: there's a lot of dead links and removed YouTube videos, we used to actually write things (whole paragraphs even!), and a lot of the shit that was funny then is still funny now.

Favorite post: Sheinny's conversation recap.

Funniest moment: Dagan struggling to post a .wav file.

Biggest regret: Not going to that Wu-Tang show.

Relive the memories here.

Keeping It Weird (Still)

2011-02-08T05:39:00.001-06:00

From the album page:
"Despite being discouraged from a large number of his friends Dr. Fuzz decided to publish
PESME SMRTI (Death Songs) as his second solo album.
This material was made & recorded during dark nights of February 1996 in home
production, with two cassette decks, radio receiver, kid's synthesizer-toys and a turntable.
Computer was not used in any segment of the recording process"

2010-04-23T09:29:00.005-05:00

Here's the video that plays before Conan comes out on stage during his national tour:

Also, here's what was going on in Boulder, CO on Tuesday. Sometime in the afternoon:

Another also, I tried tweaking the template of the blog a little, since videos seemed to always be getting cut off and stuff. Unfortunately, tweaking the template didn't work for that, but it's at least a little cleaner now. If anyone knows how to move the right column with the archives and stuff over a little further, that'd be sweet. For the time being, when I'm embedding a youtube video, I'm selecting "embed" and then "blogger" from the little pop out list. The videos fit now, but there's no goddamn fullscreen button!

So just click that shit twice to take you directly to youtube till we figure this out :)

2010-01-21T00:38:00.004-06:00

I think they should invent something where if you want to share a video with a friend online...while both of you are online or on the phone or something - you know, to laugh in synch - the interwebs should somehow be able to realize you want to "watch it together" and make it so that one person can hit play and both of you get to watch it, together, in harmony.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. In the middle of typing this, I was like, I bet this exists, and sure enough (for youtube anyway):

So yeah, enjoy that aptly named piece of shit site.

Grandma Likes Her Bach (with a little buzz)

2009-11-19T02:29:00.003-06:00

Interesting article from the Washington Post about the growing acceptance of weed among middle-aged Americans -- and what that means for legalization in the U.S.

My favorite part's near the end, though:

"One older smoker who doesn't mind outing herself is Florence Siegel, an 88-year-old artist from New York who has been smoking regularly since her early 50s. That's when the family's pediatrician suggested they try marijuana together to see "what the kids were so excited about." The pediatrician didn't feel a thing. Siegel said she never stopped.

Now her routine is to sit in her favorite chair each evening, listen to Bach and take a few hits from one of her many pipes."

Google Labs

2009-09-22T01:08:00.003-05:00

Just accidently sent a mail and found this solution:

I think it only holds the e-mail for 5-10 seconds so you have to reclaim it pretty quick, but is good for misaddressed e-mails, forgot to attach a document, etc. Plus, it's just a matter of "enabling" the function and it's there, even if you never use it.

While not post-worthy in itself, it led me to the Google labs list (under Settings -> Labs) and there are tons of cool things in there you just hit "Enable" and they are activated. I always knew Google Labs existed, but never really looked around...and if you haven't, take a gander, there is some cool stuff in there.

Wonkette's Annual Children’s Treasury of Terrible 9/11 Art

2009-09-11T12:46:00.007-05:00

excerpt:

How did such a truly awful, gut-wrenching event inspire such stupid crap? It’s just part of our modern, idiotic culture — the same mouth-breathing instinct that compels people to pile a bunch of wet stinking stuffed animals at the site of a fatal car crash, or order a hundred Thug Life “memorial T-shirts” to remember some shithead gangsta teen who got himself shot, or make a GeoCities memorial site for Princess Diana (with animated GIFs and MIDI music of “Candle In The Wind”).

Such a system is downright evil."

Interesting sidenote: I looked up "top-notch" to see if it's hyphenated, and it turns out there's two ways to do it! Julie's singing in the musical is top notch. He prepared a top-notch meal before the movie and dessert for afterward. It's only hyphenated if it precedes a nominal. Crazy. Oh, and Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.

I randomly saw this on TV a couple weeks ago and Aust and I can't stop referencing it. This new ad campaign is the weirdest advertising angle on deodorant I've ever seen! I can only find a link that shows it really tiny... but you have to play it multiple times to see the different types of guys with different types of pits. A proud heavy sweater, an ashamed hairy pit man, and a clueless sensitive pit guy, plus the intense music.... it's priceless! Now I'm totally curious, what pit type are you guys?

p.s. I think this website is the production company that produced it and it's a "featured work" lol.
