Horse leaves deposit at bank

Okay. I get that the guy may have had a few too many and fell asleep in the bank foyer. I'm not sure why he would have his horse with him?

On an unrelated note, Wednesday night Grad class permits for multiple postings in a relatively short amount of time. What else is there to do during class?

The Oozinator

You know that some douche at SuperSoaker was put on the spot during a board meeting, and came up with this piece of shit. Nice job, asshole. Way to turn the youth of the nineties into cum-bathing homosexuals.

Your Scene Sucks

I actually give this guy a lot of credit. He's basically tearing down all the people who buy his stuff. If you go to the root address, you'll find all the shirts he's designed for the bands that he's poking fun it. That's gutsy.

Reading the profiles, I can think of at least one person for each. Ahh, stereotypes.

Scamming in the Music Industry.

I've heard stories about things like this before, but considering the source, this is probably pretty accurate. Steve Albini is a well-known Sub Pop producer (having worked with pretty much everyone - including Nirvana, Pixies, Fugazi, Leftover Crack, etc...) as well as founding member of Naked Raygun, so I imagine he's been around the block a few times when it comes to the music industry.

He is currently most active as a record producer, but he dislikes the term and prefers to be credited as recording engineer (if the record company insists on any credit at all; Albini is comfortable with receiving no credit). Contrary to common practice, Albini does not receive royalties for anything he records or mixes: he charges a flat daily fee when recording at his own facility, but uses an admittedly somewhat arbitrary sliding scale when recording elsewhere.

The article itself is just okay, but the break down in thebox at the end is fascinating.

Struwwelpeter

During Winter of 1845, German physician Heinrich Hoffman found himself in a tough situation. He wanted to buy his son a book of fairy tales, but he found none that met his highly righteous standards. So instead, he purchased a blank notebook and began writing his own, focusing on the negative consequences of poor decisionmaking. They're all pretty sadistic, but my favorites are "The dreadful story of Pauline and the matches," and "The story of little suck-a-thumb." After reading them, it comes as no surprise that Hoffman worked as a doctor in an insane asylum. Perhaps he put a few too many hours in around the crazies.

I'm told Dwight Shrute read these during the "Bring your child to work day" episode of The Office. A Youtube search proved unproductive, but if anyone has it, I'd love to see!

He shoots, he scores!

Other than for the alphabet roadtrip driving game, what good do advertisments serve? Most are either bland of mildly obnoxious in an attempt to be memorable. The Geiko Cavemen have yet to convince me to to switch insurance (in fact, the irritating commericals actually pissed my wife off enough to cancel her account with them), and although I know the Barnes firm phone number by heart ("call 854-2020"), I still wouldn't trust those freaks with my lunch money. If I have to look at advertisements, they may as well be entertaining.

I admit it. I've become a digg.com addict. I'm the guy that refreshes the page every thirty seconds to see if a new link was posted. It's the same way with del.iciou.us, and most recently with stumbleupon.com. With all these random links, I decided I needed an easy way to keep try of my wonderful web tidbits, as well as a convenient way to share them with my friends. So here it is. My new blog.


So keep an eye out.
