Shuo ni hao zhong guo google. Word.

January 27th, 2006

Well, I appreciate the pragmatic approach google is taking in mainland China. They wrote about it here in their official blog. I wrote my feelings on the subject at the reputable (hah) online forum /. here.
Even censored search is better than none. It’s all we have here in the US anyway thanks [...]


Banana bread with Skor and cashews

Banana bread with Skor and cashews

I finally got the ingredients together to throw down a banana bread. The results are shown here. It’s good, the crushed up Skor is key, but I think I should’ve either toasted the cashews or used some crunchier nut.
I finally did this, perhaps somewhat [...]


bike pLAgue

January 25th, 2006

There is a new zine (literally a zine, no website) called bike pLAgue. It’s pretty cool, creative commons licensed and created on Linux using Scribus. There’s only 1 issue out so far, so go snag it if you live in LA. Even wannabe’s like myself can learn something.

A reminder of

Study: Most College Students Lack Skills Napoleon Dynamite needs to have a word with America’s college students.
America’s politicians must view this as great news. “Do my bidding!”
As a side note, for the ladies, besides bow hunting, which I can work on (we had archery in gym), I have all of the skills mentioned in [...]

Boing Boing: Joe Rogan rants on the beauty of DMT
I don’t usually recommend MP3s of TV stars talking about doing drugs with lots of swearing, but this is key, esp. via the internet tabloid boing boing. Boing boing doesn’t seem to get it, but Joe Rogan clearly shows why he was such [...]


happy “most dangerous and effective negro leader in the country” day

January 16th, 2006

That quote comes from the FBI via this speech from Vice-President Gore given today alongside republican former Representative Bob Barr. An important insight into why the president should not be treated as above the law in the mid to late sixties or now. (via del.icio.us/popular, but worth its own entry here)
Other parallels drawn here [...]


Unpopable

January 15th, 2006

Finally got a chance to see unpopable at Mr. T’s Bowl. Really amazing. If you have never seen or heard a balloon bass played by it’s inventor Addi Somekh you are missing out on a great experience. They have a very good vibe going with just (balloon) bass and guitar.
Also, [...]


Musical Interlude (Old New Noontime)

January 13th, 2006

Over the course of maybe 7 hours last night I:

Came up with and recorded a song in under 10 minutes (inspired by Klang): “How far for water“
Thought of a name for my (and others?) musical output: Old New Noontime. (Name inspired by former members of The Audience’s band Mysterious Moonshow… in that they both [...]


2 Weeks off, now back to helping humanity.

January 3rd, 2006

My man Ethan called me astute in his blog. So I have to give him props for following his dreams. Dreams he had while drunk, hence he works at a winery (Ravenswood). No, he wasn’t really drunk when he thought about getting into the wine business. But while we are [...]
