Mike decided to quit blogging for awhile (maybe even forever), so I thought being a handy web designer and all, I’d help him redo his site. That way he’ll still have an “in” with the ladies. Check it out! It’ll be gone before you know it.
Kare 11 ran a depressing piece on my home county, Kittson. Check out the video.
It’s crazy to think someone could probably buy a city block worth of houses up there if they wanted to. And 9-1? Seriously? Our hockey team is better than that… must have been an off night.
My friend Mike and I have been working furiously on a new Flash game site called Gordo Games.
Mike and I both have pretty high standards when it comes to games, Flash or otherwise, so you know you’ll find the best games from around the Web at Gordo Games. We have even developed some of our
own original games, Balloobie and Spelunkle.
More Original games are on their way. So head on over to Gordo Games and give the games a try, submit your high scores and let us know what you think.
Oh! And be sure to blog about it, tell all your friends how awesome it is, and bring it up in conversations as much as you comfortably can!
Here’s the second installment of my music collection posts, this time focusing on the letter B. It’s quite difficult
for me to narrow these letters down to just four songs because there are so many that deserve to be showcased, but I think I have a good sampling for you this
time.
First up is Ben Folds covering The Darkness with the upbeat tune, Get Your Hands Off My Woman. The bass guitar and piano go together so well in this song.
The second song is from a band my brother introduced me to; The Beta Band. This is about as close to hippy music as I get, but there’s a freedom to it I really like. Boards of Canada is audio nostalgia. I have always felt their music has been in my life much longer than it has, almost like it was a part of my childhood. Weird I know… The Books have mastered the art of creating nerve-wracking, tense music. It’s like being stuck in a bad situation with no way out.
Today, Saul Williams released his new album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! You can download it legally for free at Niggy Tardust. I’ve had a chance to listen to it and it’s really good. Trent Reznor produced it, which is very evident in the sound. The music itself is somewhat indescribable, but in a good way.
Like I said, you can download the album for free. If you like the album, like I do, you can donate $5 to Saul Williams and get access to higher quality downloads.
I love this method of delivering music over the Internet… the artist working with the medium instead of against it like the RIAA is doing with all their frivolous lawsuits. So support good music; support good artists; listen to this album.
Today, for lunch I put together what I consider the saddest, ugliest sandwich ever made.
It’s probably the most synthetic sandwich I’ve ever made as well. That plate holds processed meat, processed cheese-like-substance, processed “light” white bread, and light Miracle Whip. There’s not a lot from the natural world that had any part in my lunch today, but man it tasted good. I made two!
OK, I knew my post about not wanting the Transformers DVD would bring up some responses (Mike & David C.) trying to prove me wrong in my thinking that the Transformers movie is indeed the Mother Turd of all movies. Well I think it’s easier just to get the whole thing out in the open here.
David, your logic is flawed. There is no comparing three guaranteed shitty movies (Serving Sara, Vacancy, and Halloween 3: Season of the Witch) with Transformers. Transformers had so much potential for awesomeness on an epic scale, where as the others had little to no potential and were bound to suck.
Case in point: I have never seen Serving Sara and I never will. Look at its movie poster… no, look closer. It has SUCK written all over it. Now look at the lead actors: Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley… uhg. There is no chance in that movie being even a little bit good.
Here’s another visual example to get my point across
Notice where Transformers should be, but also take note where it lands. Because it had such a high probability for epic awesomeness, but failed to deliver, it ends up sucking harder than all others. Therefore, it is the Mother Turd of all movies.
