Apparently Amazon.com received another patent on a ubiquitous web-technology: recommendation services . They cannot get away with this for long, but why must the justice system be so damned thick! They are fucking idiots!
Do I need to remind you to go here: NoAmazon.com or NOWebPatents.com, or Alternatives to Amazon?
Apples in Stereo and Modest Mouse. I just happened across these a few days ago.
Remember what I said about wanting to really write more. And post quality links and add meaning to you life? Well I do, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But I haven't forgotten.
They actually have *content*! Can you believe that shit. You can watch as they run around the world and do crazy shit all over the place. Somehow they end up getting paid too. I gotta get me one of them gigs.
Mission Impossible 2: Don't go. The real impossible mission is trying to suspend your disbelief enough to get through this latest cheesy John Woo movie.
Dog parks are good. Has anyone else been to these places? You can just let your dog run around with other dogs on a huge plot of land that has a fence around it. These dog parks have single-handedly allowed me to have time to do things like update this site
Lesson learned: no matter what they say, how many "free" CD's you get, or how many you have to buy to fulfill your obligation, CD clubs are always a bad idea and take up way too much time in the long run. Just dealing with these people after I have written return to sender on 5 "monthly selections" in a row and the sending me a list of 100 CD's to choose from is a good enough reason not to join. Who really buys "Hole" CDs anyways?
One thing he wrote got me to thinking about something I have actually had discussions about: the absurdity of male genitalia. What if it could be detachable (as in the song)? Wouldn't that seem like a better solution? No need for the jock strap or accompanying "nut cup", no embarrassing moments in high school speech classes (not a confession). There could be a whole new market for penis carrying cases, and performance accessories (well they may already have these).
I guess the downside would be the penis misplacing or the penis robbery that could occur.
God is it awful.
Gladiator was a well acted, well casted (for the most part) movie with great scenery and action (oh that poor Germanic Tribe!).
Road Trip was good for its genre (Tom Green was NOT the funniest part) Funny, if pretty predictable, but I can't complain about a movie like this... I knew what I was getting.
Lastly, Chino Latino is now, probably my new favorite restaurant. The diverse food selection and the huge portions make a gathering at this Uptown restaurant a joy. If you can find it, that is, as it has no sign outside and can only be spotted by looking for the glittering wall of gold above a few outdoor diners. The waitress I had was very nice and eager to please. Check it out if you are hungry, adventurous, have a party of 4 or more, and don't mind hanging out in a loud, bustling setting filled with a "be seen" type crowd.
This and other creationists beliefs will be on display for those wanting to confuse their kids further and set science back to the Dark Ages.
About 5 minutes into it, I wanted to end my life... or at least the lives of the interviewers and brain trust that came up with the pre-ceremony ideas and the whole "Time Machine" theme.
If your into masochism, be sure to watch the re-run webcast. But I warned you.
For the curious, here are the winners.
"I am not Jim Romenesko."
You have probably seen their spot on TV for Bikini Bandits. I haven't seen the others but episode 7 is pretty weird/disturbing (yet somehow sexy?).
Their animated shorts are almost always good.
Of course this isn't going to be an overnight change and I ain't making any promises. Hell, I may not even update again until next Monday.
Most of it is based upon the ideas put forth by George Colony of Forrester, here
This is an interesting idea and the article makes several good points. Good reading, I am, in fact, looking for more on this right now.
