If you try to knock me you’ll get mocked
I’ll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees’ll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock

“Man Assimilates Into The Machine”

I made this with the help of a Game Boy Camera and digital editing.

This is relative to my interests.

Pretty much sums me up on this topic. The man brings zero pretentiousness to the table, talks of acceptance and non-confrontation, and merely dispatches logic and fact instead of talking-down to people with it.

Also, if you can’t get on-board with a Mythbuster, who can you get on-board with?

uncannie:

Nothing says stuck at work on a beautiful Thursday like the Terminator trilogy on DVD from the Dog and Pony Show boys… Which I won during their DAPS Drinking Day Anniversary Party live stream event.

Thanks guys. I’ll be back.

P.S. I also got Kung Fu Panda 2 in the mail today… so many action flicks!

These used to be my movies. Then I got a Blu-Ray player (and discs). But these DVDs are too-awesome to not get use from someone, so I gave them away on DAPS Drinking Day. Enjoy your Arnold!

Also, the lenticular cover on T2 is legitimately frightening.

These guys do a pretty great music podcast. This week they even roll out a bunch of J-Dilla (!!!).

Putting my money where my mouth is. Or my mouth where my mouth is; I’m not quite sure of the parlance at play here.

Was rummaging through my hard drive and found a file that was my attempt at making one long track of vocal covers of famous choruses. I thought these were two of the better ones, so here they are. They’re still not good, but whatever.

Christopher Nolan not particularly worried about whether you can understand Bane or not :

If he doesn’t want you to comprehend Bane’s voice, then you’re not supposed to. Stop being a cranky fan and accept that this is how he wants him to sound.

Currently writing the chapter on Michael Jackson’s Bad. It’s definitely one of the bigger curveballs in a book about albums for nerds that include such bands as The Feelies, Devo, TMBG, Weird Al, and Kraftwerk.
