Big 3 Bail Out.

http://www.speedsportlife.com/tag/detroit/

A friend sent me this colorful article in support of the Big 3 bailout. After checking out my blog he might have seen that I made a few comments of my own about GM. I found it quite interesting.

Sushi, Saki Bombs and Sex Notes.


As we ate sushi, drank Saki bombs and told dirty jokes at a table of friends, naughty notes were passed at the dinner table. That was drawn on the paper used to conceal our chop sticks. Not a bad penis drawing, huh? My friend's girlfriend has got some artistic talent and an active imagination.
My friend showed me, not to his girlfriend's willingness. What did I do? I struck when the iron was hot. I told them I'd share this comedy with the world. What good sports. :)

Linux Girl


This is one of those pictures that circulated through all the guys' emails at the office that I just had to post. Sexist, yes. Too sexist to post, no.
But really, this is just a metaphore for how sexy Linux really is. It's bad ass. Just ask anyone who knows anything about computers. That's right, those penguins' belly buttons are cold too.

The Top 15 Xbox 360 Case Mods

I’m not exactly sure what makes people want to mod their game systems. Maybe it’s a creative spark, maybe it’s complete and utter obsession with a game, or maybe it’s just boredom. Whatever the case, there have been some truly amazing skins made specifically for the Xbox 360.-irfanmp

"Earlier in the day, G.M. confirmed that it had legal advisors — including Harvey R. Miller of the firm Weil Gotshal & Manges —to consider a possible bankruptcy, which the company until now has said would be cataclysmic not just for G.M. but for Chrysler and Ford as well. The rescue plan approved by the House on Wednesday by a vote of 237 to 170 would have extended $14 billion in loans to the troubled automakers and required them to submit to broad government oversight directed by a car czar to be named by Mr. Bush."- AP NY Times
Tsk, tsk GM. Not selling too many tanks these days, huh? Too bad thousands of people will lose jobs because a few at the top were greedy and ran the company into the ground. Perhaps in the context of everything else, they couldn't forecast a great, unprecedented economic melt down. Or maybe they're just trying to get their "get out of jail free" card. Who knows. All I know is, I put in $19 at the pump today and filled my little japanese car. At least they've got the right idea.

My VMWARE Fusion

Pretty soon PCs will be obsolete. And before you know it, machines will harvest humans like eggs from a hen for energy.

That's far into the future, and we're not talking of such dire truths here. We're talking about VMWARE fusion. As you can see in the screenshot I've taken on my MBP, I'm running windows in a virtual "bubble" (I require windows for work.) But I had no intention of buying a PC. The alternative would be this.

The virtual software runs like a physical machine but it's not; naturally, it's allocated by disk space. You could infer then, that someone could run multiple machines on one piece of hardware. And you would infer correctly. The only limit is disk space and memory. If someone has a lot of both, they can run as many virtual machines as necessary. 

That, in a nutshell, is my VMWARE Fusion.

Bob Dylan: A Greatest Singer of All Time


When I saw RS special issue 1066 at the magazine rack, I didn't think twice--I grabbed, paid and read the article written by Bono. Some people say, "Bob is no longer relevant," and to them I say, "eat my shorts!" Bob's one of the greatest, and he is more relevant now than ever. He'll always be. He's in the Norton Anthology of Poetry next to Shakespeare. His music is timeless. I agree with Bono, "the reason I'm never bored of Bob Dylan is because there are so many of them." But I can understand why some people don't like Bob, they just don't get it. And that's perfectly fine. Less fans the better I say.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving.


A friend sent me this and said I should blog it. I merrily concurred. Unfortunately I don't have a girlfriend that can give me the Little Sisters gift. Bummer for me. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Propaganda



I'm a little slow on what's been going on in the world of OBEY, but it looks as if they started a propaganda campaign for the protest on prop 8. As usual the 450/450 signed and numbered prints sold out within the first 5 min.

Adbusters

Let's hope "Twilight" is at its twilight.

So, I was reading my daily dose of the NY Times this morning when I stumbled upon a new term that we might see appear in the DSM-IV, (obsessive Jonas disorder) OJD. Affecting mostly teen girls and some dandy boys, this mental disorder begins in the preteen raging hormonal stage and ends with a confused semi-delusional sense of self at who knows when. You've probably seen them aimlessly walking around your grocery store wearing skinny jeans and sunglasses indoors. They're bored, unproductive and daydreaming. Maybe they'll buy some Cheetos.

This term was found in a not so favorable yet not so heavy-handed review of "Twilight", a movie that has been adapted from Stephanie Meyer's fictional "The Twilight Saga." We can credit Manohla Dargis for this interesting bit of journalism. Twilight... the Joni...horny teens...what a vicious circle.

Update!

T1 network and 115 min.? What is this world coming to? My T1 isn't the only thing that's slow around here; I should have done this the last night when the update launched. No matter. Shortly I'll have my 360 updated and my avatar created. It's only a matter of time. 

Economy on its knees and pleading for mercy!



Market Dives? That's the understatement of the year. The DJI has gone from 13k to 7.5k-- nearly half of the market share.











Obama-rama


Obama-rama is almost everywhere. What is Obama-rama? People that act Obama, Obama, Obama... and more Obama. The news, television and radio broadcast Obama. It's in Art. In many circles it's actually cool to share the progressive philosophy that is Obama's. People even wear Obama. And as I have shown here, he's on nearly on every popular magazine in publication--with incredible close-ups showing the perfectness of his teeth. Naturally, they're creating history. For better or worse, Obama-rama is in vogue.

Get your B12. All 41667% of it!

A coworker brought to my attention the unusually high content of B12 in the energy drinks I brought to the office today.

Wikipedia says B12 is essential to body function. In fact, an acute deficiency in B12 is known to cause seriously bodily harm. My coworker, a former vegetarian, informed me that "plants do not supply B12 to humans," which would imply that vegans or vegetarians should use supplements or eat foods fortified in B12. He also said, in sarcastic tone, that you can drink a 4oz shot of this drink and get enough B12 to last you a whole month. I dunno about him, but I'm a little nervous drinking something with a percentage close to 50,000.
