It just will never get cooler than this. I wish I could remember where I found this image. Bonus: two of these people are Canucks. Can you guess which ones?

For some reason, I needed to hear Devo’s “Whip It”, so I headed over to YouTube and found this:
I was just a kid when that song came out, but I still love it. The video is a little questionable, though—slightly racist, slightly misogynistic. Still, gotta love that song.
I had to make that a link, because embedding of that video has been disabled at the request of Devo, which is a bit of a pisser, because it’s not taking anything away from them for people to watch a video hosted on their YouTube channel which is displayed here. Hosers.

How the new “Star Trek” movie should have ended.
I was really looking forward to the latest Star Trek movie (i.e., the one from Jar Jar Abrams), but it turned out to be just a tired retread of the last Star Trek movie: ugly Romulans (read: foreigners, illegal aliens, Arabs, people from India, Muslims, people with beards, Mexicans, Democrats, people with turbans, people with …read more…

Not long after the aluminium incarceration came to an end, I wanted to spend a great deal of time reading. Reading has always been one of the great pleasures in my life, but a guilty pleasure.

mechanical things, apparently…
what scares you? It’s been a heck of a week, and I’m not sure about the current status of a lot of things, but I have figured out one thing that’s definitely sure: I’m not in the mood to like machines. I’ve never really liked machines all that much to begin with, but after working …read more…
