The Czelt in her wisdom, pointed me toward this. I think I love him.

Czeltic Girl sifted through waxy and sent me disturbing news about Bugs Bunny. it didn’t take long for the internet to FLASH-RAGE on that shit.

Someone, somewhere, was paid to write, rehearse and perform this “song.”

They typed up the lyrics and put it in front of the vocalist, who as vocalists must, scoured the song for climax. Then, slowly, he knew the strains where he would project emotion, driving home the message of the song. Perhaps he thought of American soldiers fighting in the steamy jungles of Vietnam as through gritted teeth he sang “Knee deep in the mocha.”

Later, as they layered effects, sweating in the production room of a studio, the backup singer said, “I’m going to add a simple “ooo, ooo” vocal solo here, but we can just have it as an echo after the call-and-answer ‘Remember’ section at the end of the third chorus.” That much thought had to go into this.

And then Survivor came in to help the producer give authenticity to the remake, putting the tracks through different filters and samplers, and *Survivor* said, “No, we’re not going to work on this.”

Later, an emcee would weep silently in a men’s room stall when his cries for dancing went unheeded.

I hope you’re happy, Starbucks.

An astounding journey. By Divine Providence, I have forgotten from where I stole this link. (Oh, it was mimismartypants, so my Safari history reveals.)

Resistance is futile

This link is the ultimate link. It is as though Homestarrunner were multiplied by Homestarrunner. Anyone who’s anyone is clicking it.

Thanks, Czeltic Girl.

MetaFilter, home of the gods, pointed me towards this incredibly obvious and under-utilized eCommerce idea. Check it.

“The resonant frequency of the Tortilla-Board™ is a harmonic of the clock frequency. This caused a feedback loop in the oscillator that increase the clock frequency of the 68HC11 by a factor of almost 2. That means that programs written for 68HC11 circuits using the Tortilla-Board™ run twice as fast. That was an exciting and unexpected development.”

This is what I deal with EVERY DAMN DAY with my clients (and friends who want websites.) The web is actually not anything like a building, despite the term “Information Architecture.” That descriptor, information, changes quite a bit about what to expect.

Naturally, as soon as I post that I’m notever fixing a computer for anyone ever again, my mother and my father both can’t keep World of Warcraft from blacking out their machines when my 13-year-old brother plays it. Since I built the computers, it must be something I did right?

Luckily, the helpful MetaFilter folks had some excellent suggestions on where to begin. I’m fairly certain it’s a video card issue, from the vague descriptions they’ve given me, but I’m going to follow the plan below to save myself future headaches. If you can read, you can do it, too!
