I read the
Woot : Wednesday Web Woundup and sometimes it’s really funny. They have a series going of face-offs between Google Video and You Tube. This one was ‘mayonnaise’.

Now I’m spending the rest of the day making up fun things to do with these.

For work one of the things I do is run a Mirsocfot Echxange email server. So *I have to read* about it now and then. I haven’t been recently butcause I’m working on other stuffs too. So but then when if I come across something about the new Exchange 12 that’s coming out today I kind of realize they’re CHANGING it!

Microsoft had also identified the Monad technology as its core command-line investment, and the metaphor that Monad uses around verb-noun pairs is one that will become common across all of the command-line experiences for Microsoft server products going forward, he said.

I don’t even know what the HELL that’s supposed to mean. Yikes!

… sounds radically self-destructive, but the opposite situation would be much worse. Imagine dying for real, dying physically, but lingering on as a digital ghost, a presence on a MySpace page collecting obituaries and tributes.

Update: Tom Cruise is the master of language - The Superficial - www.thesuperficial.com tells us that the Cruise’s chosen name for their new offsprint would not be the best choice based on usual notions of central eastern linguistics. Suri indeed!

On the way to work i’ve been rocking some tunes on one of those mid-sized gadgets with white ear bud listening dealies that you can fill up with songs from the computer. My newest album that I compare to old things I have called favorites, is a record by Spoon (the band) called Gimme Fiction.

Nerd rock jorunlaists say:

#14 Seller of 2005! Spoon make some of the catchiest, most confident rock ‘n’ roll of any group around. Their fifth full-length is nothing short of a dizzying, soulful masterpiece, easily the most expansive work in their career. Gimme Fiction is a sprawling, exhilarating, filler-free album of keenly focused artistic vision and ambition.

And I have to agree. I did think the word ‘confident’ just today as I was going through a big parking lot when the tune They Never Got You played. And then I got a little bit dizzy and exhilarated too, but I did have a weird microwave frozen breakfast sausage/egg/muffin sangwich for breakfast so maybe it was that.

Anyways, here’s the real point of this: I also thought, “Gosh I kind of really like these Spoon guys, they seem to be quite confident and soulful. I really wish there was a way I could reward them for that!” And then quickly I thought about purchasing a hard shiny plastic disc in a hard shiny plastic sleeve, upon which these keenly focused works of musicianship had been inscribed with a laser beam. But “No,” I thought right away after that, “I am already in posession of this filler-free artistic vision, right here in this mp3-capable device. But still I wish I could somehow reward the guys from Spoon.”

What if their page on the internet had a “Gimme five bucks” button? Do you think they’d get five bucks from me if I clicked Amazon or Insound on the computer and entered my Mastercard numbers? I kind of doubt it. I just want to give the guys from Spoon five bucks, and the guys from the Crimea too because I know I can’t even buy the circular plastic version of all their songs without converting currency to the Euro. But they shouldn’t be prevented from me giving them five bucks either.

Right?

I’m just sayin.

NB: it’s a habit, when I hear about a new free online something, except dating things, I have to sign up for them. I have to get all the Quacky. Nobody else can get it. I’m pissed I missed on myspace.com/quacky that totally sucks. That was a big miss. Rookie mistake. Oh and quacky@gmail.com, I think I missed that one too. Or blew the signup. I dunno. Sucks. But from now on… I’m gonna try and get all the ones I hear about.

Thursday is National High Five Day which I didn’t know. At least if the guy who made 1986 World Series Game Six Re-enacted in RBI Baseball , whose name is Conor Lastowka.

Wack! The dates on things should be biger and kind of “nest outside” of items. Can you see why? Because of the way the Word Press groups things together under each particular day. I guess I could dig into some documentation about the WordPress “loop” or whatever, and maybe figure out how to do what I like to do which is each particular item gets a date/time stamp and nothing is clustered.

Clusters. BAH! The only clusters I like are the edible kind.

Snakes. All kinds. They’re getting to be quite funny. Like this Guns n Roses cover: S.O.A.P.

And this: Snakes Flying a Plane Shirt which came first, DUH!

In Brief: funny.

rachelleb.com: Lamb Shaped Butter

My sister showed me this which i’ve never heard of before. I don’t know why I never heard of it before. It seems like it would be something I’d have remembered if I’d had one or been present when one was served. But it’s weird.

I have been thinking a lot this year — it started last year actually — about why people serve Lamb at Easter. I wanted to other years, but I thought it seemed kind of weird. Well sure enough that weirdness isn’t lost on my sister either, but you know, it’s not only not weird. It’s TRADITIONAL.

me : which, TTTT, I’ve been a little squeamish about, because you know, Christ the Lamb
me : how the hell do people figure it’s TRADITIONAL to have lamb on easter???
sis : heh, you’re partaking of the body
me : that is SICK
sis : it’s cause jesus is the lamb of god so we EAT HIM!!!
me : nn hhn

Um. I’ve been frustrated with my little CharBroil Patio Caddie, so I’m in the market for a new grill.

Please buy.

why ask why; why not ask why is it pronounced ‘etsy’?

http://www.brettandhiromi.com/ was a really good blog called “panties panties panties” and now it’s shut. I used to like to read it, for the articles of course. They still are on my flickr contacts too. I don’t know if the blog shutting down means … I don’t know what it means about the panties. Oh well.

Nevertheless, here’s a good quote from Hiromi:

Time means nothing when you’re wearing a hat made of God crap.

A really nice description of how to make Soba also.
