Wow, Bush a Felon… I like it!

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

I think my favorite quote from this article is "Federal law expressly makes the ordering of surveillance under the [NSA-Bush] program a federal felony. That would mean that the president could be guilty of no fewer than 30 felonies in office." Bush says he has reauthorized the program 30 times. And, Turley continues, "it is illegal for other government officials to carry out such an order."

Why is it that you cannot find a tramp with presidential spooge on her dress when you need a good impeachment? 

Strangely funny….

myFairTunes6 v.0.2b

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

myFairTunes6 v.0.2b – is a cute little Windows program that removes the Itunes 6 DRM from music purchased in the iTunes music store…

Warning though: "Backup your library before using. The Mac DeHymn project ran into some snags when the Apple upgrades to iTunes detected songs with the DRM removed, and refused to play them. It was at a later point the project was updated to further clean the songs so they could play."

Red Dwarf Backwards Hidden Message

Monday, September 4th, 2006

It's so funny. This hilarious scene from the Red Dwarf series came up in conversation yesterday. I've seen this episode a dozen times and never really thought about playing it backwards.

Computer composes synthetic Vivaldi….

Monday, September 4th, 2006

This is just so cool, and a little scary… Someone has broken musical composition down to it's nuts and bolts and has written a program that can replicate the style of a composer based mostly on their published body of work…

I bet the RIAA is already preparing a lawsuit…

MySpace to sell DRM free MP3’s from nearly 3 million unsigned bands

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Now if they can come up with an engine to suggest bands based on your musical interests (myspace is already handy for browsing common interests through friends and friends-of-friends bands) this could be the perfect way for music to reach the masses.  


Try new, all natural, Tequila!

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?

Do you suffer from shyness?

Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or
pharmacist about Tequila(r).

Tequila(r) is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about
yourself and your actions. Tequila(r) can help ease you out of your shyness
and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about
anything. You will notice the benefits of Tequila(r) almost immediately, and
with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent
you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be
a thing of the past, and you will discover many talents you never knew you
had. Stop hiding and start living, with Tequila.

Tequila(r) may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing
should not use Tequila(r). However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or
becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may include
dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of
motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity,
delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and
a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or
Dare, and Naked Twister.  Wink

Dive the Bonne Terre Mine

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

I remember reading an article  about the Bonne Terre Mine in a SCUBA magazine years ago. I really wanted to go, but had forgotten about it since…  Now that I found it again (and still want to go), I decided to preserve it on the blog (so I can start the process of forgetting about it all over again)… ;-)

Idiocracy (Mike Judge’s new movie) is now in somewhat limited release

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Mike Judge gets no respect… again…

According to this review the movie has the potential to be as big a cult classic as Office Space.

Variety also liked the movie (but were a little less enamored with it)…

I guess Fox is counting on the DVD sales…
