Across teh Nets

While banging my head in frustration at my current endeavors at work I came across some interesting discoveries Across teh Nets:

On safari in the humid desserts of boingboing.net I was shocked to uncover a long lost band of tribesmen rocking out to the "Biggie Hendrix Experience." Unfortunately due to the un-healthy amount of caffeinated tea I drank to deal with my annoying guide who for some reason thought it was okay to piss on my luggage, I couldn't hear the tunes (In all honesty my work computer doesn't have sound yet...it's a linux thing. We're too cool for sound.)

After promising to marry the tribe chief's daughter, a promise to be kept for a couple of weeks, the eldest of the tribesmen proceeded to uncover a working movie theater! AHA! Wait...how the hell do they get electricity? That's when I noticed the albino killer whale off in the distance creating water currents and generating electricity for the tribe to rock out AND watch movies!

Wait, what movie are they playing? "The Waldo Ultimatum"? WTF?! Where do they find this crap.

After a couple of minutes into the video I realized the promise of the daughter was just a ploy. They wanted to feed me to the albino killer whale god...crap...time to jump start my Vadermobile and make for the hills...or ocean...or Japan...who the hell knows?

Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Iran!

Not only do his policies suck (or should we say, bush's policies), but his singing does as well!

And that one goat video...

Man the internet has taken a toll on me. And that one goat video... its funny...because its true.

Revisit: teabagging yourself

It was once asked on this blog, "Can you teabag yourself?" I couldn't help but notice the rhetorical nature of this inquiry and proceeded to explain that, yes indeed, you can.

Well I now have proof, proof which doesn't involve degrading myself or my shitty Cannon Powershot which would probably die at the very thought of snapping a photo of me in such an awful pose.

One of my favorite humor blogs is the Failblog. Think LOLcats meets those demotivator posters.

Here's the proof, ala' failblog.(orange threat)

And on a somewhat very unrelated note, here's an open letter to internet porn. Ripped right off of craigslist's "best-of" section, a section which features the best postings from all over craigslist. Apparently this one comes from their open rants and raves section.

------------------------------------------

UPDATE

I was mistaken. After extensively reviewing the image I concluded that the man in question IS NOT TEABAGGING HIMSElF! But is being teabagged by his opponent. What's worse? I don't know...I just don't know...

I'll leave the post up, misinformed and all because it's just the right thing to do.

Now my Cannon Powershot cowers in the corner...

Valve and TF2 love...

I once told Def that I would give Valve my virginity if I could. I still stand by that comment.

Here's an interview with "the Valve dudes" by Leigh Alexander. I'm not sure if I've mentioned before, I like to hit up her blog, sexyvideogameland, every now and again because, well, she puts a lot of thought into her articles. They always seem to contemplate what it means to be actively engaging in a virtual world. To add, her father was a games journalist and she's kind of carrying up the tradition. But I digress...

According to the article posted on Gamasutra and what makes me turn all rosy lipped is just how aware Valve is of what they're doing and how they're propelling the PC game industry forward. They're coming up with new business models and content distribution models. They're fully aware that some would say PC gaming is dead...but they're not backing down. I heart them.

Hey...wait a minute, didn't I just gush over NIN's involvement with propelling the music industry? And wait, Valve totally had me in HS with Half-Life...NIN had me with Downward Spiral...man, we were all just cool kids who knew who to support!

And to make this the biggest baddest Valve orgy session I must add the following (and latest as of this post) VGcats comic:

Sometimes Elephants are in the Way

When taking a test involving curved frictionless ramps, one must take several things into consideration:
1) Is air resistance negligible?
2) Do I remember how to apply the spring constant in a formula?
3) Did I study for this test?
4) Is there perhaps an elephant in the way?

Cup Events

Hi guys. I don't know if everyone has noticed, but I made an events schedule under the picture of the happy guy drinking shit. I'm not particularly partial to calling it "In the Cupboard," that was just what came to mind. If there are other ideas we can make a poll. Feel free to add other Cup / Platypus Brigade events as you see fit.

Thank You (hard version)

Well here we have another version of my Thank You poem. The initial concept of the poem to be strictly a thank you has changed. The thank you became the springboard for this notion of what it is that I was thankful for, chiefly myself and my life in this incarnation. As such I still may have to write another thank you poem as this one has changed very much from the original but for now this will serve as a tentative candidate for my poem "Thank You". Besides I kind of like what came out of it. Check it out!

Thank you for you, thank you for me
Thank you for separating
And allowing us to be free
Thank you for choosing to be 3
3 that form One
Father and Son
Father is sun?
This game is fun!
Meditation helps me to see
Egyptians knew, heart is the key
The brain removed for lack of need
It only serves to control me
Sins be undone
Karma has won!
Love everyone
All are the One
Patience taught to me by the trees
Standing still yet always moving
No matter what comes let it be
Remember that you are a seed

Sing aloud, dance about, and rejoice!
Bathe in light, drown in dark, it’s your choice
The truth is there is only one voice

This one goes out to all you Analy alumni

Looks like Analy High school is getting press for the obvious.

The following pic was posted on the SFist.com blog.



It would seem proper sticker placement goes a long way =)

New NIN misic available on torrent

Get it while it's hot!

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4059158/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_Ghosts_I_(2008)

Excerpt from the site:
"We\\\'re very proud to present a new collection of instrumental music, Ghosts I-IV. Almost two hours of music recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I-IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain."

It would seem only Ghost I is available free for now. But for $5 you can already download it all...I think...someone figure it out.

UPDATE
ArsTechinca, a great tech blog is reporting that NIN have essentially made $750,000 for this album already. That all the special special editions are sold out.

Good luck to scientists on this one!

Article from Engadget.

Apparently somewhere in NY there resides a 12 year old who can break your electronic shit up with a touch of his finger. Yeah, totally out of X-men. He even calles himself "Megneto-Man." And whats the first explination posed by some doctor/scientist? His shoes are overly insulated.

Ring of fire anyone?
