Tho this looks more like spirit flow.

This shit be tight, son, run that shit.

3D screen without glasses or other viewing technique, effect even works when filmed by a camera.

It’s in its infancy right now -- you probably wont see the expensive ones on the shelves for 12 years or so, mainly due to the incredible amounts of technology packed into this display (probably 10 or so times the display density of your current monitor) and the requisite camera system needed

It was so heartbreaking to tell my parents.

“I’m in the late stages of cancer and will die soon. I was so happy being born as a child to Father and Mother. Thank you.”

You can read the whole letter at the link, with some notes on translation. It’ll bring a tear to your eyes.

Though I imagine, at age 90, a girl that young may well fuck him straight to death.

At 90, I probably wouldn’t care, and I imagine many of you wouldn’t either.

‘In 2010, Bradbury told the Los Angeles Times that “there is too much government today” and that America “is in need of a revolution.”‘

Hmmm, I think I agree with the Rachel Bloom.

If you don’t laugh, get off my blog you damned kids! I don’t even mind the fact that I’m spreading advertising here because A) I don’t own an iPhone so you can’t accuse me of corporate shilling and B) it’s fucking funny. Also C) my bro makes awesome films, so I’m really starfucking him, not the iPhone screen protector company.

The music is about as ridiculous as the name, but the video is worth it for the weirdness and style. Kontor is one of my more favorite labels, just judging by the amount of music I like that they’ve published.

Wait till about a minute in, when they show you the shadows it makes, for the big reveal.

Arch Linux – it ain’t yer grandma’s Ubuntu. Text-based installer. Configuration via text files. Does not come with gigabytes of crap (the ISO file is under 400 meg). Wont install a bunch of extra crap unless you ask it to, and still that extra crap upon install time is included in the <400 meg. The installer isn't completely hardcore - it does walk you through things rather nicely unless you really wanna cowgirl up and do things by hand. I mean, unlike Slackware it actually walks you through partitioning your hard drive. Slack still says "good luck with fdisk and figuring out where what and how to mount your shit." You *can* do that, the option is there if you wanna St. George and the Dragon your way through things.

You wont find all of Gnome and KDE and every possible little widget and doodad stuffed into your machine with a bunch of automated crap trying to run things for you. You wont find a system of configuration files that's completely divergent from the last 50 years of UNIX development that requires you to google to find out where anything is, only to have it re-written later by some tool that hasn't broken yet. You will find a BSD-ish configuration system that fits like a nice old pair of shoes (the kind you haven't worn holes in yet). A wiki on their website that contains useful information. Instructions that work.

You do have to enable a lot of stuff - like the networking, the package manager (cutely named 'pacman') repositories, etc before you're up and running. But, on the other hand, you're not running a bunch of crap you don't need by default, and you choose which repositories you use. You do have to cowboy your way through the configs with vi until you get pacman chomping powerpills and get vim installed (or you can use nano if you're still in gradeschool), but when you're done you got a smile on your face and find yourself flexing at your computer because you haven't installed an OS without mouseclicks in years. Even getting X11 installed and configged isn't too much of a hassle, but does require text editing and wiki-searching. And then in all comes together and you've got a working netbook again. Now, to get the LAMP back up and all my test sites rockin again....

Anyway, here’s your promised pussy:

Thanks for sticking with/skipping this far!

Great talk on the choices we perceive and how that perception affects our understanding and contemplation of the choices.

She asks for sugar for her green tea in Japan. They say the restaurant doesn’t have any sugar. She orders coffee. Comes with sugar. They wouldn’t let her make the mistake of choosing to put sugar in green tea, for in Japan, that just doesn’t happen. In Eastern Europe, when folk are presented with a choice of 7 sodas, they say “why is there only once choice here, the soda?”

Apparently on wordpress.com you can use a TED talks shortcode [ted id=924] to properly embed your videos and presumably have them show up in your RSS feed… but that’s not been built into their WordPress 3 software nor is there a plugin, so you’ll have to suffer my poor old school embedded video fail if this is coming to you via the feed. Just click this paragraph to go straight to TED.com.

Hopefully they’ll throw us plebes a crumb or two on that shortcode issue in the next release or something.

Cat says “To hell with your war, where’s my effin tuna, man?”

How can you say no to a cutie like this? Be careful, or she’ll steal your heart.

* it’s cost a fortune. I never used to be able to leave a record store without about $100 of cds. Those were the days…

Not really sure, but it’s the most listenable rickroll you’re gonna hear all year.

It’s goin for a buck currently.

I know I’ve bloggerated this flickr stream before, but I’m doing it again – This is an image made with a combination of the Hubble, Spitzer and Chandra space observatories – known as NASA’s Great Observatories. Hubbie and Spitzie contribute near (yellow) and far (red) infrared wavelengths respectively, Chandie chimes in with X-ray specs (blue and violet).

What are we looking at? The center of our Milky Way – the progenitor of our solar system. If you’re looking for a God, this is a closeup of one of the hundreds of billions of piece’s its currently known to be made of. Compared to the size of the universe, this home of ours (I’m talking galaxy, not the infinitesimal solar system or exponentially more infinitesimal earth) is about the size of an atom.

Think about that for a bit.

Quite possibly the best “Wee Planet” this flickr monster has made so far – look at that geometry! It’s a stereographic projection of an equirectangular panorama – an ultrafisheye look down at some Jodhpurian architecture.

An object in the sky spreads radiation over North America. Fearing terrorism, U.S. Homeland Security agents are dispatched to investigate and contain the damage. What they discover will have implications for the entire world.

Still downloading it – had to downgrade to el cheapo interneto (which, while no faster than AT&T DSL, actually functions 99% of the time) so it’ll be a while before I land this GB whopper, but it seems to have a promising premise. There’s only one episode for the time being, with three or so more scripted and an invitation for fans to help out with the rest of the planned arc of seven. Even if I don’t like it, it’s an interesting experiment, so it’ll have been worth the trip.

And they made it on a shoestring budget of 6K – so even if it’s not incredible, if it even carries of whiff of authenticity it’ll have achieved it’s aims.

It makes my “Hey pet, come look at these pretty rocks I found!” while crouching on the beach look a bit less dramatic – but finding pretty rocks on the beach is something we both enjoy, and that’s what really matters – and if those two really did get engaged, who cares of they made a stunt out of it for photography and art’s sake, that would make it no less amazing.

Jordan Matter Photography and the rest of that great series of images. They’re quite intriguing, I suggest you take a look. You may not think much of dance, but seeing them caught out in the middle of the act, you get a sense for how amazingly these people have learned to use their bodies. Also, hot chicks and hot guys, occasionally scantily clad and muscle bound, if you’re into that sort of thing. Well, more extremely well defined than muscle bound.

If you’ll notice, in the icon version the black cat and the car outside the window conspire to make a shifty-looking face with a huge moustache. That’s my girl!

Moar kitties you say?

Don’t ya just wanna eat them up? She’s a joy to be around, though maybe a little too liberal with the fang kisses when she pretends to nuzzle in your hand. Hopefully we’ll be able to break her of that habit, but at least she fang kisses us gently.

I had almost forgotten about Tujiko Noriko, as my copies of her albums are locked up in iTunes before the switch away from DRM, but someone on my facebook was asking for new music, regardless of genre. And she popped back into the mind. So here’s a bit of her works for you to enjoy tonight.

When I get done watching District 9 with the wife, I’m going to get around to reacquainting myself with her blippy trippy self, and look into Aoki Takamasa and see what’s cooking there. Goodnight my little bitlings.
