Sex is for Fags!

from here ( )

I understand that abstaining from sex protects me from:

The regret and guilt caused by the disgusting, squishy act of stupid sex, which is basically like going to the toilet from the front side.

Making retard babies out of wedlock, then having to blow my whole allowance on diapers and a stroller instead of XBox games and Snickers.

Catching a brain-rotting STD like "Finger Herpes" from "feeling up" any nasty dirty girlie holes.

Oh yeah, it just gets better. Don't miss the "10 Things all the Cool Dudes are Doing Instead of Being Lame and Queer and Having Sex!" And ladies, don't feel left out. The White House ( ) wants you to participate, too. Click over to Iron Hymen ( ) for the female version, which is just as creepy-larious:

"OHMIGOD, like, Iron Hymen taught me to respect myself way too much to ever let some hairy creep hock man-lugies on my Godly cervix like it's some gross subway platform!"

iTunes - DRM = PyMusique

Check this out, from BoingBoing ( )

Apparently PyMusique is a free program that allows you to download tunes from iTunes without the DRM (iTunes uses FairPlay, which is not supported on any platform except the iPod, which some people don't like *gasp*!)

Anyway, I suggest getting PyMusique for any new acquisitions. Or old ones -- apparently it will let you re-download all your tracks as regular old non-DRM files. woot! \0//

Booky Rocks Like M.I.A.

Oh, damn, (e:Paul), this is exactly the way I like to do it -- I come to (e:strip) to read other people's journals -- I always disliked how if I saw something I thought was cool or wanted to say something about while I was browsing around, it was so hard to open a new tab and go to (e:Strip) to post something about it...

Yeah, this feels great. You roXor my boXor (e:Paul).

So I just found this page ( ) at Rolling Stone about M.I.A. M.I.A. is a Sri-Lankan female rapper who bad ass. You can watch her vid for Sunshowers on the page I just linked to. You can download a Sri Lankan hip hop mix on this Bit Torrent link ( ) -- it's the Tsunami Terror Mix. Remember, Sri Lanka has been in civil war for ages now (what, like 10 years? 20?) and all of Arthur C. Clarke's mysterious investigations couldn't prevent some of the most tragic terrorist attacks in the world, perpetrated by the Tamil Tigers. ha, and 50 Cent (the Mumblefish as I like to call him, after the Matt Dillon movie) thought he was bad...

Anyway, everyone ( ) is writing about M.I.A. I saw her vid on MuchMusic when we escaped to Canada for the Inaugaration. Download her video for Sunshowers. One of the best new tracks this year, fo sho.

Rasterbator

[inlink]paul,2797[/inlink] (e:paul)

That image on Halavais' door looks like a Rasterbator ( ) print from here. Or it could just be a really huge print of a really large file that's been run through an ascii generator like this ( ).

Fun stuff...

Heavy Metal Umlaut

Jon Udell does Screencasts, which is a pretty interesting thing in and of itself. While browsing his site, I found this great screencast about the Heavy Metal Umaut article on Wikipedia ( (WIKIPEDIA - heavy metal umlaut)). It's a great display of the power of Wikipedia to evolve and the entertainment value in reviewing the history of articles. Of course, it's even more fun when people like Udell have packaged it all up into a nifty little video for you. Check his screencast here:

Google Maps Hacking and Screencasting

Wow, I love how sometimes an interesting blog posting will lead you to multiple things you've just GOT to know about. Case in point, this here post. I have to go make tacos right now, but when I come back, I'm going to read this stuff:

First, GTxA (http://www.grandtextauto.org) just posted about John Udell's walking narrative that uses a unique Google Map Hack. What? Google Maps Hackable? I've been so busy with other stuff I hadn't even played with it, but now I discover this (http://69.90.152.144/collab/GoogleMapsHacking) and this (http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/) which are really interesting resources for Google Map Hacking. The potential seems way fun...

So then I was watching what seemed like a regular video tutorial and I notice that this guy has a link to find out more about screencasting... screencasting? I haven't heard of this... So I clicked around a bit and foiund this: which pretty much sums it up, I guess. I have to do more research. But his point about sharing our use of tools through video and audio and images is pretty cool. I think a lot of people forget how creative we can be with a tool. Just look at all those people using a wrench for a hammer, or a nail file for a screwdriver. We're born to it. We are not necessarily limited by the limitations of software packages or any other technology. But that's a different post...
