On Why Spackerman Is Better Than You
Quote of the Day via Spencer Ackerman:
"This means I might never live out my dreams of hibernating with polar
bears before riding the Polar Bear King into battle"

New Model Army in Camp
One of the things I love about the developmental direction the Internet has taken is the DIY ethos that drives a lot of the innovation. I've written on this before and how disruptive this DIY ethos is. Take a few ideas, some knowledge of coding and suddenly you have a website drawing tens of thousands of people. Of course, for every success story there are hundreds of failures, whether of deployment, content or simple timing. Along with that is the ever-important "who you know" factor that can make or break a struggling site. A post on a few well chosen blogs will go miles to making your site the new 'it' site. My own blog struggles with such need for attention, but the attention, however minimal, is still there.
What the "who you know" factor also means though is that sometimes you end up with a clique of sites that trade links back and forth but rarely branch out on new sites. It's both the advantage and bane of web hubs. Yet, I don't begrudge the nature of web hubs and superhubs. Outlier sites, if they stick around long enough, always increase their chances of finding a few links to the major hubs. It's an instance where persistance pays off. While I keep this blog to help with my own sanity as an outlet for my nonsense, I still look forward to the day that this blog becomes something more than a vanity project.
Captain Nemo
Not quite sure why I'm doing this--for certain this girl annoys the fuck out of me--but, well, here you go. Porn on a Friday night.
Open Container Laws
Man, if only my parents had given me booze instead of crack when I was that young.

Dance Practice as Fashion
Okay, I'm sorry, but taking a standard theater actor's or dancer's wardrobe and calling 'elf fashion' is just plain fraud. It's as if some designer is sitting behind their sewing machine, twisting their mustache, and thinking How can I make something so simple and already available but call it a different name and make millions? I swear to god, if I see someone coming down the street dressed like this and they aren't going to dance practice I'll cut their Achillies tendons, the both of them. Let's see them pretend to be a dancer then, eh? Slovenly design does not get points in my book.
The Catacombs of Paris
The eerie beauty of the Paris Catacombs is hard to describe. It's the primary reason why large corporate buildings are relegated to the outskirts of the city, as the catacombs are so vast and have weakened the ground above so much that they can't support those kinds of structures. Personally, I think it's a place fertile with stories, much as the underground in London lead to one of Niel Gaiman's first books Neverwhere. This picture, provided by the National Geographic, is only a small reminder of the wonder and history that lie beneath the streets of Paris.

Oh...Well, Of Course
1) The Teenagers suck
2) Tim Goldsworthy is a member of UNKLE. Now everything makes sense.
3)The Ting Tings are fun
4) Lykke Li is charmingly clever. Which means I'm torn between breaking her hands and having her babies
5)Bishop Allen - friendly in that Austin sort of way. Why is it Houston bands kick your teeth in and take your wallet while Austin bands offer you good beer free?
6) Fuck Buttons should collapse your skull and you should thank them for it.
7)There's nothing as achingly beautiful as a soulful man, a microphone and a guitar.

Diamonds Aren't Shaped Like Vaginas
I'm not really going to comment on the linked post so much as I'm going to laugh as hard as I can at that damnable graphic. Who thinks this shit works? "Guard Your Diamond"? Who decided that this was a good idea and where can I find them so I can put a lead pipe on the back of their skull? I'm just glad that there are other sites like Feministing out there that point this ridiculous shit out. Even my cat is laughing at it.

Maddy Gaiman
Maddy is Back - Neil Gaiman
I had no idea that Gaiman let his daughter blog. That makes him an even cooler father than before, which is pretty hard to beat in the first place. A nice touch of sweetness for the morning.

The Burka Only Confuses The Criminal
Iran's Badass, Wall-Crawling Female Cops - Noah Shachtman @ The Danger Room
Truly impressive on the part of the Iranian police force. But man, think about nuns doing this? With rulers? We'd all be fucked.
Public Enemy No. 1 - Spencer Ackerman
Damn you Ackerman! Stealing my thang! I'm the one that talks about the fear of a black president. Send me money, or classy Spitzer-style hookers, now!

Priest Sent Off For Throwing Shirt at Referee - Reuters via Binomite @ Truemors
See, this is why I like real football versus American football. You wouldn't have priests throwing things at the refs in the U.S. at an American football game. But go play football somewhere else and then you have real dedication.

A Weekend Too Far
Fortunately there are few pictures of me in this set and plenty of my friend enjoying his thirty years of life in style. Well, pictures of him and the pleasantly lovely door girl at one of the dance clubs we landed at. I think I'll let you guess which one's are of me.

Fucking Brilliant
OMG, It's an Heirloom: Dutch Delight dildo - Frank @ OMG Blog
That is, with a bullet, the coolest thing I've seen all day.

In the Basement
Warehouse 23 Basement via Coilhouse
This is the kind of randomness I love. What an opportunity to come up with truly weird ideas and have them mean something, even if only for a moment, to someone else.
