Pretty simple really.

I don’t know what the HELL this is all about but it sure would be cool if it turns out to be true!!

Surfer dude stuns physicists with theory of everything - Telegraph

“My brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing,” he tells New Scientist. “I thought: ‘Holy crap, that’s it!”

A very good buddy of mine has been traveling for business recently. I repost here, verbatim, a MySpace bulletin from him. It’s a kind of wishlist, it’s something he does regularly with the “Attention [City Name]: I’m in you tomorrow” subject. I just think the list is a small work of prose brilliance.

Some things are funny. Some funny things are funnier if there are parallels to your own life. The video below is one such thing.

Also, try this, if you want to experience it the exact same way I did, which I believe adds to the experience, and makes it even funnier. Although, since you’ll be doing it intentionally, not accidentally and unknowingly as in my case, maybe it won’t.

Won’t make it funnier, I mean. Because you’ll understand what’s going on is actually a contrivance that the author of the video never intended. When I watched the video, I believed that the looping accompaniment was a natural and intended artistic choice by the artist. It wasn’t until the video ended while the music played on, that I realized the odd happenstance that made the experience what I perceived.

Anyway, try watching the You Suck At Photoshop #2 video while the following flash demo of a Cisco 3750E switch plays its twinkly droning music in the background, and pretend you really didn’t notice the demo was running, and you didn’t know that the video was created with no musical soundtrack.

I never dreamed I’d have a need for one of these, but suddenly it seems I do. Cool!

Slashdot | FBI Wiretaps Canceled for Non-Payment

Freedom! At what cost?

Well, simple, the spies don’t pay their bills: the phone company cuts them off. Just like would happen to you and me.

It’s awesome. I wonder what will happen if the FBI defaults on their student loan?

Epitonic.com: Your Source for Cutting-Edge Music

Wow. It’s been a reallilong time since I accidentally discovered a good band.

This time, I could barely figure out how I discovered them, and I spent about sixteen and one-half internet hours grepping through my history and cache to figure out the via.

The weird thing is this: There isn’t one. I actually took something from real life, and looked it up on the internet, rather than doing the vice versa of that. So there wasn’t anything in the history, except for the first thing I found, which was from putting the word “ENON” into Google. Weird huh!?

So, there’s no via link because I heard Enon on the XM Radio in my car.

I’m reading this really energizing and scary book right now: American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America by seminary-educated former New York Times foreign correspondent, Chris Hedges. And Wow!! I’m not normally given to conspiracy theories (actually, I kind of am…) but I’ve got to believe what he describes.

Here is an article at Theocracywatch.org that gives you the general spooky overview, from which I pull this quote:

[George W.] Bush may turn out to be a transition figure, our version of Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck used “values” to energize his base at the end of the 19th century and launched “Kulturkampt,” the word from which we get “culture wars,” against Catholics and Jews. Bismarck ’s attacks split the country, made the discrediting of whole segments of the society an acceptable part of the civil discourse and paved the way for the more virulent racism of the Nazis. This, I suspect, will be George Bush’s contribution to our democracy.

HUH! right? Makes you think! Here’s something way more recent too, a Chris Hedges interview in Salon.com, which I’m working on reading before work is out today.
