I myself was rather pleased with winning the house and gaining some foothold into making decisions in our current government. Much to my surprise it went further than that. Not only did democrats secure a majority of governorships but also took the senate. Hopefully this allows for a much more balanced government that can better make decisions for the american public. If so it will be the first time since Clinton left office that I haven’t been completely disgusted with our American government.
Amazing!
Just a day after partaking in the joy that is one of Threadless’ $10 shirt sales I found this great post on the 37signals blog and it just hit right on the money. Aside from the comment about how the community was more or less taken over by religious teens driving out many of the communities initial members, it just made me happy thinking about the way this company functions. This company is how more clothing companies should function because it obviously works well… now if they would just get guys american apparel shirts I’d be totally happy. For now I’m on the lookout for other companies who might be exactly what I’m looking for.
With my newfound ability to actually watch YouTube videos I stumbled upon this hot little number. Seems Jack Black saw it high time to make a piracy PSA. I love sarcasm and with stealing internets and by implication losing rocket sauce this is sarcasm at its near best.
If you just want the link here is the Jack Black PSA.
The day I’ve been waiting patiently for so long, flash 9 on linux, has finally arrived. It’s only the first beta of flash 9 on linux but it’s already leaps and beyond the flash player 7 plugin I had before. Now I’m able to watch youtube videos, the sound always works, and it properly syncs as well. Not only can I watch them in all their glory but I can do it while listening to music with amarok simultaneously. I’m so excited I want to get up and dance around my room… I think I will.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system it’s time to go off and try to break it if I can and give them some worthy bug reports to help them out. So much thanks to Mike, Tinic, Emmy, and everyone else involved. You all just made my day! It may only be the 32 bit version now but I was used to that with 7 anyhow. Once the 64-bit version is released and I can use the normal version of firefox again I may just be able to die happy.
Last night was full of absurdity and also a lot of fun. My friends and I went out to Detroit for the Suicide Girls show and two of us had been before so we kinda knew what to expect. The two opening acts were bands and respectively a novelty act and unoriginal beyond what I previously knew was possible. Sometimes I think I might be alone in my opinions of how horrible some bands are but the guitarist had a cup thrown at him and then a fight broke out. It was the most entertaining part of their set. I assumed nothing at all would happen until they got off the stage and much to my disbelief I was wrong… someone proposed to his wife during the last song. All I know is when they procreate its not going to be pretty or make any adorable little babies.
Soon thereafter the show I had actually come to see began. The show was pretty damn amazing complete with beatiful girls, intriguing stage props, and good music. While there are a couple movies/songs that will never be the same after that show I wouldn’t call it a bad thing. You know you just saw a good show when you walk out with a headache from yelling so much covered in vinegar and ketchup.
Today was quite the eventful day believe it or not but this is about the strange dream the rest can come later. It all started with werewolves in my dream and while I’m not sure where they came from they were damn fierce. I was pretty scared, some people got bitten by them and we thought they would turn into them next but instead they turned into african american couch potatoes and weren’t scary in the least. The battle against the werewolves went on for a while but then I was mostly victorious along with the rest of the people I was around. At this point I seemed to wake up and I saw Caitlin next to me and we proceeded to kiss and as soon as we started with that I woke up. Like always the dreams end before the fun can be had… such is life.
Well I surely do but it has to be done just right. Who better to do this than the one and only bansky. He’s got a show in LA this weekend and while I will never be special enough to see it myself, I’m a poor college student, the internet brings it to me. Go look at the wonderful photographs of the VIP night at BANKSY’S “BARELY LEGAL”. You will not be disappointed.
Another example of his wonderful work. Lest me not forget a link to his site if you like what you’ve seen. This is art I can really appreciate. Who would have though anyone could profit off something that started as simple graffiti?
While I’m on the topic there are people doing research on new types of graffiti and damn are they some smart cookies. Check out the Graffiti Research Lab. If only I had the balls to do the things they do.
