  • Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

    B sends me this link to Maximum Participation Billboard Liberation. [A Meme List]

  • Believe it or not

    0d my first music CD ever. With many technological advances I am the consummate late adopter. I like to let other people beta test the new techne at premium rates and jump in when the thing has proven itself and become consumer-easy. I waited till I bought a computer that could burn CDs with a…

  • 'Know this'

    Here’s one of my pet peeves about television writing. It seems that a writer wants to show a character getting serious and reinforcing some sombre truth, she has that character say to another “know this: I will never leave you alone” or “know this: I’ll be watching you” or something like that. This always grates…

  • Kikkomaso

    Let me be the last one on the block to link to this bizarre flash soy sauce superhero risqué music video.

  • Humor crosses political lines

    My dad forwarded me a Mad Magazine poster called Gulf Wars: Clone of the Attacks. The satire beat anything they put out in my day (except maybe their controversial “So why not pardon Hitler?” back-page ad after Ford pardoned Nixon. Even as a child I could see that was a little over-the-top. I usually get…

  • Reprising their roles…

    I thought this was a brilliant bit of webhackery till I saw the Mad Magazine credit in the lower-right. See the full-sized version to read the fine print.

  • APOCAMON: The Final Judgement

    From the Well’s Politics conference comes this link to APOCAMON: THE FINAL JUDGEMENT, which bizarrely combines end-times mythology (see the popular Left Behind series or your local evangelical for more on that) with Flash Pokemon-style animation. (Sidenote: when did “swag” become “schwag”?)

  • ASPEN MAGAZINE interpreted for the Web

    Small world department, my cousin A.P. Crumlish, who runs bend of bay, forwards me this Ubuweb announcement about Andrew Stafford’s adaptation of ASPEN MAGAZINE for the Web. Readers of this space will recall that Stafford is also responsible for the brilliant Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp…. [artsflow]

  • birdhouse.org: Boxen

    Scot Hacker: Next person to say “boxen” when they really mean “computers” gets a wedgie. Also, he points out this utterly hi-ho Flash animation for Panasonic.

  • Interactive Seattle skyline

    From Cal Godot (via antiweb) comes this link to an interactive “before and after” view of Seattle’s skyline.

  • Catechism against telemarketers

    EGBG, in the Netherlands, provides this anti-telemarketing counterscript: Telemarketers make use of a telescript — a guideline for a telephone conversation. This script creates an imbalance in the conversation between the marketer and the consumer. It is this imbalance, most of all, that makes telemarketing successful. The EGBG Counterscript attempts to redress that balance.

  • Thought he was searching for the real killers?

    This is probably all over the net, but I just got it in email from JG:

  • Radio Free Blogistan is…

    via X-POLLEN: I noticed Dave Winer posting about Googlism today and I’ve seen the reference riding up the meme charts but only… (Note, using Googlism yields a popup ad.) Here’s what Google thinks RFB is: radio free blogistan is the second result radio free blogistan is not listed at dmoz radio free blogistan is still…

  • Christian Crumlish is…

    I noticed Dave Winer posting about Googlism today and I’ve seen the reference riding up the meme charts but only realized after following his link that someone has wired up the Google api to automate the searching-for-“Your Name Here is”-and-posting-the-results-to-your-blog meme. (I did “xian is” at bodega back in June.)

  • Let's put that 'Leftists have no sense of humor' meme to rest, shall we?

    from MZ: Actual slogans seen at the SF peace march on Sunday: Stop Our Crazed Government. Take Back Our USA.PEACE: Live In It Or Rest In ItOregonians for SanityBush: Inspect Yourself!War Is So Last CenturyBlow It Out Your Ass, BushNo War Go Giants and from dac: some more, from both SF and D.C. Blondes for…

  • Timezones

    I’d like to see a breakdown of the living web (or at least the blogosphere) in terms of timezone codestamps on documents.

  • What's Sullivan for Instalanche?

    ShortStrings (no permalinks, but it was posted Tuesday, October 08, 2002), says Andrew Sullivan reports that Christopher Hitchens’s new book on Orwell went from 1,074 to 4 on Amazon’s best seller list after he chose it for his next book club discussion. (More…)

  • What's next? The homeless rockstar?

    I remember in that strange Terry Gilliam film The Fisher King that the two homeless guys eventually get pitched to participate in an upbeat sitcom (or was it reality show? that’s what it would be today) about homelessness to be called “Home Free!” Homeless people have had homepages for a long time now, especially since…

  • Send lawyers, guns, and money

    Hey, my triumvirate of motivations meme is getting legs. I noticed a visitor today referred from a post called [Python-Dev] Missing symbol in sre.py (Python 2.2.2b1) on what I gather is a list for Python developers).

  • 50 most loathsome

    The Buffalo Beast names the 50 most loathsome people in America, 2002. Pretty over-the-top (fairly vulgar too), but funny and much of it is hard to argue with. A sampling: 13. SEAN HANNITY Misdeeds: Without question one of the most smarmy, vile, hypocritical talking heads on television. Has the uncanny ability to vilify and generalize…
