Hip hop is maturing as much as it can, I guess.

I’ve actually given up on version numbers for this site’s design. I think this would be 11 or something. Yes, that’s 11 redesigns in a little over a year. About 3 layouts ago, I started using names instead of version numbers. The current design is named Mrs. Wardh after the repeating background image which is [...]
About a week ago I received a Facebook message from local congressional candidate Joe Garcia asking to chat “on my blog”. I’m not sure if he wanted permission to leave a comment, chat about my blog, or actually fly over to my hosting provider’s facility, stand on my shared server, and talk to me about [...]
Warning: this post is a detailed explanation of a bug I have filed with Apple occuring when using Spaces and attempting to use the “Mail Link to This Page” shortcut in Safari. This post if filled with the kind of minutia that reminds me that not so deep down, I’m still a complete nerd. I [...]
For most of my career in technology, I’ve worked primarily with front-end technologies - HTML/CSS. I consider it much more of a designer role, only I do my work with markup instead of Photoshop. I won’t go as far to say that I skip the Photoshop phase altogether, but I do try to break out [...]
Assalam alaikum.

Stewart Rhodes in the June issue of S.W.A.T via Attackerman:
I was hoping to break it to you gently, but now that the Bush Administration has so blatantly stabbed gun owners in the back, it is time to rip the mask the rest of the way off the fake conservatives who have conserved nothing, and show [...]
I. HEART. THE. INTERNET.
When blogging first really began to blossom it was in the realm of web developers and designers. Tools like Movable Type were first heavily used by the people that developed them; as such, the bulk of the blogging world consisted of development, design, and technology blogs.
As blogging moved forward, dependence on traditional news distribution [...]
I’ve fallen in love with Fluid ever since I read the tutorial for building your own Muxtape app with Fluid. The slogan, “Your Web Browser is for Web Browsing”, started to make me think. It really is a bit silly that we use our browser to access web applications right alongside with research material, news, [...]
I knew if I held off long enough this would one day come:
I can FINALLY get into Guitar Hero
Maybe not ever, but AMP’s new Walk of No Shame campaign is so clever and snide it hurts.
In the same spirit, I came across this quote on Reddit: “America is at an awkward stage. It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.”
Loving the new Weezer video
You can already see the signs. Normally available parking spots taken by candy-coated donk. Repetitive house music slowly being overpowered by repetitive southern rap. That’s to say nothing of the three guys drinking in my alley, right now, on top of their car blasting some godforskaen 50-cent song while holla-ing at girls walking to Crunch. [...]
Working on an article, I came across this semi-internal site for White Castle.
The link is buried at the end of the footer of White Castle’s public site.
I wonder what would constitute a White Castle emergency.
Animated graffiti in Buenos Aires. Brilliant.

When I was in 7th grade I bought a hamster. That’s not entirely accurate; I bought a hamster cage that came with a free hamster, who I then named Manolo Jose Luis Sanchez de la Rosa de Cienfuego de la Patria Dulce. I decided to get a male hamster because I became adamant that I [...]
I came across a tool that measures the amount of cursing on your blog while reading through AdScam. I’m holding steady at 25%, which unfortunately is a good bit cleaner than I speak in real life.
I wonder how the booking agent for the show pulled this one off:
Booking Agent: Hi, Mr. President. I’m calling from Deal or No Deal starring Howie Mandel
President Bush: Yeah, Howie. Heh. Heh. I love Bobby’s World. “Toot toot toot do do dodo do do do do”
There’s something unsettling about having the president of your country [...]
Inspired by Sullivan’s comments:
Start every stump speech with “you’re now tuned in to the motherfucking greatest” and I’ll vote for you.
A priceless moment (at around 2:20) from Obama’s townhall speech earlier today looped for glorious eternity on the obligatory YTMND.
Update: this is pretty funny too:
”This isn’t the time for publicity,’ said his father, a former lobbyist and political consultant. ‘And I certainly don’t want anyone to think I’m taking over my son’s entire existence. The reality we face is that campaign timelines are getting longer in every election, and in the decades to come the candidates who succeed will [...]
To me, making a tape is like writing a letter. There’s a lot of erasing and rethinking and starting again. A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do.
You’ve got to kick off with a corker, to hold the attention (I started with “Got to Get You Off My Mind,” but then [...]
Earlier this week a new performer appeared on Lincoln Road, an extremely overweight freestyle rapper (although, to call him a rapper is both an insult to the genre and his genius). He has some sort of boombox with a mic input and stumbles over himself as he tries to rhyme about people walking along [...]
According to the New York Times, blogging can be dangerous and even deadly as it turned out to be for Russell Shaw and Marc Orchant, bloggers who died at 60 and 50 years of age respectively. NYT:
Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology [...]
I’m sitting at Starbucks on Lincoln Road trying to get this site in order - I had the brilliant idea of wiping out my all of my RSS subscriptions in an attempt at some e-spring cleaning - when two ladies, a term that is more than generous, sit at the table next to me.
Ugly Older [...]
