Aperture 3 Faces Matches Me With the Fiery Gates of Hell
Mom This Posts For You
Before getting my mom a white MacBook last year, I would not have called her a member of the digital elite. She's never been scared of computers (she got me my first, an Apple //c, and used it almost as much as I did) but she is not quite hacking the gibson. However, seems that since the macbook, things started getting weird:
Last night, when i spoke to her on the phone she said "I love Facebook!" and "I've been reading your blog".
She has been on Facebook for at least a month and has not ONCE written anything horrifyingly embarrassing on my wall. It is a brave new world.
Post Avatar Depression - CNN

"I just watched avatar a few weeks ago and I'm feeling depressed and sad. It's like I want to reach out and be in Pandora. I'd do anything to be in Pandora. I've tried so hard to dream about me being on Pandora but it hasn't worked."
I felt the exact same way after watching Titanic. I would have done anything to have been the iceberg that sank that ship.

I called 1-800-BBB-ROLL as asked for a B-roll of a man weeping at his keyboard for an Infomercial I want to create to generate traffic to my Blahg. I hope they can come through.

Working On the Interwebs

Beck interviewed Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) and opened with this gem: "And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview because what I feel like saying is, sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies. And I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy. But that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way."
How better to give Beck a taste of his own medicine than by wondering publicly why he has never addressed the rumor that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990? No one's saying that Beck really did it… but if he has nothing to hide, why won't he deny the tale?

Also since he could not get US courts to invalidate freedom of speech, he went to the international courts and gave it a shot.
iPhone and MMS to Usher in New Era of GOATSE, Rickrolling, and the Archer
Now that the millions of iPhone users in the US will have access to the latest and greatest (2002) MMS technology - I'm officially predicting HERE on this sh*tty BLAHG, a new era of goatse, rickrolling, and the favorite in my circle of friends "The Archer". Which i will not post here but is a surreal photo of a large man wearing nothing but a leather utility belt and posing with his hunting bow.
The great thing is that your friend or enemy or frenemy, can't stop getting visually assaulted unless they turn off notifications when the phone is locked.
So have at it. Start sending your nasty grams until we crash AT&T's networks.
