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
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 [...]
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.
Study: Most College Students Lack Skills Napoleon Dynamite needs to have a word with America’s college students.

Other parallels drawn here [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
