I could have tried to be very productive today but it appears I wasn’t much in the mood for that. Instead I’ve enjoyed the many wonders the internet in all it’s greatness could bring me. To save you from too many images I decided to go links galore today. Enjoy the reading.

• details of Wes Anderson’s next next movie.
• Too bad DFA1979 didn’t let me know they were breaking up as they planned to as of a year ago.
• Pretty cool site/book on new art…
  

  “At the Edge of Art makes the case for art that is empowered rather than emasculated, seditious rather than sedate. Yet as important as art’s new functions may be, the Internet–that global lifeblood through which so much of this new art circulates and is recognized–offers no wall labels or a gallery shingles to tell us whether a work is art.”

• The image of the day at we make money not art was more than a little amusing and left me thinking “…but baby, the ad really convinced me to do it. I ony did it because I care about you”.
• I knew SubPop was an awesome record label. It looks like they’re the first label to be green-e certified. That means they use a certified renewable energy product or pay to subsidize it. Either way it sounds pretty awesome to me.
• I started reading some comics online and my favorite one, xkcd, while maybe hit or miss is amazing if you get it all. Some of my favorites: computational linguistics, myspace, blogofractal, pain, and music knowledge.

Sometimes I think I’d like to know if she really knows at all what kind of effect she has over me. When we end up talking about things they never end up getting that deep and the time I tried to she got really uncomfortable and ended up sleeping on the couch in lieu of sleeping in the same bed as I. At that moment I was deeply hurt and confused, we’d been seeing each other for over 6 weeks and sleeping together, I guess I figured it meant at least enough to her where she could talk to me about what was wrong. Turns out that I was completely wrong and she’s too private to disclose whats going on in her head at all even to people she’s been fucking for over a month who she was friends with for 8 months before it even started to happen.

Maybe it’s just that I’ve fallen for someone who is convinced they dont feel. Who has the need to be premiscious and just fuck around. It hurts but maybe there isnt anything to do about it but cry. I’ve spent so much of my time this summer hanging out with her and growing to appreciate and care so deeply for everything she is. Looks like the reciprication is less than I could ever have imagined. I see her at the bar and she says hi. There is little to say, I bring up that she didn’t return her call but she didn’t seem to care at all. Then I try to talk to her but she doesn’t seem to want to talk and just sits down at this table on the inside. I don’t know the people so I can’t even join the conversation. Even though she says she’ll be leaving soon, as if it doesnt matter if we talk cause she’ll be gone very soon, and is only going to finish her beer. Finishing that beer took at least 2 hours because she had to talk to this guy who was hitting on her hardcore the whole night. It just really hurts to think people care a lot about you only to be completely wrong. Why are people like this, especially the people I really truely care about. If things continue like this I’m never going to find a meaningful relationship only stupid fucking dead ends and one night stands… I’m just ready for something real, where is what I’m looking for?

That’s how I felt last night and a lot of this morning, now that I’ve come to realize I was really overanalyzing things I feel pretty stupid. I got this IM from her while I was at work…

[11:38] Nicole: hmm didnt mean to drink that much last night
[11:39] Nicole: well i gotta get offline cause i’m just visiting dominic at the coffee shop and using the back computer, just thought i’d say hi since i didnt talk to you really last night, got caught up in discussing environmental politics

Well I’ve got to say it makes me very glad I didn’t actually say anything to her or genuinely get too upset. I think like a girl and it’s a big pain in the fucking ass.

I really just don’t know what I would do to amuse myself if satire wasn’t covered by freedom of speech. Nearly half of the entertainment on the internet would be illegal and that just wouldn’t be fun for anyone. Without further ado here is a wonderful satire on those mac vs pc commercials everyone has seen on tv nearly too much.

In case you were anywhere near as entertained as I was you can check out this and that for a little more of the same.

After what seemed like an eternity of problems with a DDoS, zooomr 2.0 is finally live. The new features look like they’ll be a lot of fun and useful to boot.

So I’m a bit slow and it may have happened last night but I had to work and then have an awesome time at bowling and I ended up missing the precise launch. Maybe another reason it didn’t launch is because of the Hoedown! with RubyRed Labs I mean they did have an open bar. Luckily I had a fun filled weekend and didn’t have time to think of how much fun it would have been to be there in lovely San Francisco, CA.

Speaking of bowling I completely sucked ass and even managed to throw the ball backwards and nearly drop it on my foot another time. You’ve just got to love using a right handed ball when you’re left handed, it makes things so… interesting to say the least. If every frame were the last frame I would have done pretty damn well as I had a strike and two spares over just two games. –>

One man has put much more faith in a red paperclip than I imagine anyone before him has. Seeing where its got him it was a great decision in retrospect, Kyle MacDonald is nothing short of a genius. It all started with this little guy here.

Would you imagine you could go from that to a house? I surely didn’t at first but it looks like I just don’t have enough faith in peoples willingness to trade. After only 1 year and 14 trades later this was the end result.

If you havent yet read through the story I suggest you do now. –>
