Industry GiantsCategory: music
The ironically titled "Industry Giants" by Superdrag (WIKIPEDIA - Superdrag )
came in the mail today. I recently posted a video from the cd (e:uncutsaniflush,48266)It just might be the best Superdrag ever. This is the first cd by the original line-up in this century. It is confirmation of how important Brandon Fisher's guitar playing was to the Superdrag Sound.
I was already a fan of this band when I realized that Superdrag was more or less a friend of mine's old band without him in it.

Browser BallCategory: javascript
Google has been encouraging people (yes, software developers are people too) do useful and useless stuff with JS in Google's Chrome browser. This one is called Browser ball
My guess is that the uber-geeks will be underwhelmed. But as a punter, I think this is neat.
This one is from the developer:
This one is a bit more complicated.
Browser Ball works well in Firefox 3.0.7 in Linux. It's reported that it works with Firefox 3.0.7 on all platforms.

I like this one :::link::: - it works in Firefox and Opera, but it's kind of underwhelming unless you have Chrome or Safari.

some of the clouds are not clouds. some of those jets pose death threats. it's coming around. coming around. some of your rights stolen outright. sometimes lights are not lights. the consuming fires of hell burn this place to the ground. burn it right to the ground. i just write songs. i don't carry a gun. i want peace and safety for my innocent sons and wife. i just love God i don't trust in man. armed with the truth against the wickedness at hand. yeah. if you wanna usurp the power. i'll be ready in a half an hour. i'll give my life for that. are the devils ever nervous? do they deserve the death they serve us? i'm still not certain of that. sometimes brains are mundane. entertained and restrained and sealed up tight. all the aspartame and the video games and the drugs in the food keeping you subdued so you'll never recognize who put out the lights. put out the lights. i just play guitar. i can't stop the war. i want peace and safety for the kids in kandahar. if you love peace and you love mercy you're bound to cause a little controversy. yeah. if you wanna usurp the power. i'll be ready in a half an hour. i'll give my life for that. are the devils ever nervous? do they deserve the death they serve us? i'm still not certain of that. we've gotta usurp the power. the devil seeks who he may devour. keep your life intact. the liars in his service conspire to make me nervous. i am certain of that.

Happy Birthday Marilyn MansonCategory: richard hell
Convert this!
Our Toyota Prius [search]Prius[/search](WIKIPEDIA - Prius) has been at Fuccillo Toyota (GOOGLE - Fuccillo Toyota) since Tuesday. It needs almost 2000 dollars worth of work - the catalytic converter (WIKIPEDIA - catalytic converter) is failing and that is why it failed the NYS inspection and why the check engine mysteriously came on and off in a seemingly random way.
Vector this!
I tried the second release candidate of vlsoho-5.1 (GOOGLE - Vector Linux). A big thumbs down. I couldn't get my wireless card to work. Vector Linux is Slackware-based (GOOGLE - Slackware) so I thought that if I could get it to work in Slackware I could get it to work in Vector. Wrong!!!
The Blank Generation
Richard Hell (WIKIPEDIA - Richard Hell) and the Voidiods's "Blank Generation" was and is one of my favie albums of all time. Robert Quine (WIKIPEDIA - Robert Quine) is one of my all-time guitar heroes.
There were times when I thought that this song was the story of my life:
Happy Birthday
Oh, yeah. Today (Jan 5) is Marilyn Manson's (WIKIPEDIA - Marilyn Manson) birthday. Happy Birthday you beautiful person you, you beautiful person you!

I was sayin let me out of here before I was
even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
Happy Birthday
Oh, yeah. Today (Jan 5) is Marilyn Manson's (WIKIPEDIA - Marilyn Manson) birthday. Happy Birthday you beautiful person you, you beautiful person you!
(e:hodown) - I think you are very right about that. In the 1980s when I lived in NYC, a gay rights/ artist that I knew pessimistically told me that the only way NYC would have gay rights was if it wasn't in New York State. He said that the "upstate" was too conservative and homphobic and hated NYC. After living in Western New York, I finally understand what David meant. The rural areas around here have more in common with Tennessee than they do with New York City.
It amazes me as well. I think a large part of it is that NYS has a lot of smaller more conservative towns.
I hope it passes, but to be honest I don't think it is going to. I don't remember when it was first tried but it failed then and I think it will again. Granted I hope I'm wrong. I think there is still a lot of opposition to making it legal here. But time shall tell.
