Driving Green

Posted on Wednesday 23 July 2008

Electric cars of the future? Scroll down to the bottom and check out the curvilinear interior, then ask yourself how you can expect to scootch into the driver’s seat.

No.  This is the pie in the sky, don’t buy this because it looks weird, future.

Would it be nice if you could get a reasonable electric car now?

What we really need is a conversion kit.  A pre-formed, pre-drilled, buy this stuff and you’ll be able to convert your Geo Metro into an electric car over a long weekend, kit

Baby’s first internet.

I am especially fond of, “It doesn’t matter what you say, just publish it twelve times per day.”

Crossover crossout

Posted on Monday 21 July 2008

As you know, I am a sucker for a cover.  Anybody covering anything familiar is fine.

So hearing about Jay-Z wacking around with Wonderwall, is kinda of humorous.  I don’t agree with Slate’s opinion that the song has been weaponized.  Wonderwall was never much of a statement to start with.  The thing I like about the cover was that it got the treatment it deserved.  If only I could play an instrument and sing so I screw around with some of the popular material out there.

Orchestral Hero

Posted on Saturday 19 July 2008

It’s Cello Hero.  Join the Berlin Philharmonic and play a cello.   Do it right and you get point do it wrong and you’ll kill a cat.  Not really, it just sounds like it.

If you can find, em, try Harmonica Hero, Bagpipe Hero, and Accordion Hero, too.

I’m itchy

Posted on Friday 18 July 2008

You’ll know I’m old, and thus love Lil’ Abner, so of course I was thrilled to see Boingedy Boingedy feature a link to the Hollywood Animation Archive’s “CAPPital Ideas: The Modus Operandi of Li’l Abner.”

Now Cory and the Gang claim this is about V.D.   Do you believe that?  Neither do I.  Its about kissing and specifically mononucleuosis.  Mono is innocent, the herpes is a tragedy.  Lets get the two straight, boingy guys.

What are you going to do with your economic stimulus?

Me?  I checked NewEgg to see how much LCD HDTVs.  They were more than I wanted to spend.

Then I remembered what Obama said about my being bitter and religious, thus needing to cling to guns (paraphrased).

In reality, I am poor and insecure.  I have bad health insurance, almost no retirement savings, and little leisure time due to my constant need to work.  So I am going to cash my check (through my company, I’m not stupid enough to use a check cashing parlor) and take my $1800 and store it with one of my guns, under my bed, until an emergency crops up.

Example:

gun and money

Hello, crap market.

Or, how not to take pictures of the house you are trying to sell.

Yes, I am very afraid of the down turning economy.  I have nothing, which means, when you see this site disappear, I am starving to death.

Hung up

Posted on Monday 14 July 2008

This is Greenbrier Parkway approaching Woodlake Rd in Chesapeake, VA.

This truck is completely unharmed.  They’ll just lift it off the rail and the driver will go home with a ticket.  She can even get off at the trial by telling the judge that it was wet out and someone cut quickly in front.

Best wishes and God speed.

Let’s start a controversy.

Posted on Friday 11 July 2008

Search Engine Round Table and Search Engine Land are pointing out that swastikas were showing up on Google Trends (as of yesterday).  Both are reporting on the Sphinn article about the same.

The swastika really is a religious symbol and not just Hindu.  It shows up all over Asia and all over Google maps of Japan and other countries.

Given it’s history, I am not saying the symbol should be accepted, at least not in the US or Europe.  The best way I can think of to solve the problem of the swastika, without offending half of Asia by removing it from unicode fonts, is to remove the fonts from your own computer, and stop visiting sites that might feature Asian languages.  And, stay away from Asian stuff, in general.
