Classic DF – 12/6/02

December 06, 2002: [•] Happy birthday to Morning Glory. [•] If you look real close and pay attention to details you will be very amused by Broken’s latest web page change on his personal site. [•] Both BrokenReality and Mermaid have created a Stack Ups! episode. Both own my momma and are hilarious. The fan submitted stuff is really good and Immy’s little project is really taking off. Where am I in my Ultimate Stack Ups! project? Well, I’m inking still. I’m half way done inking the third page and there’s only four page so I guess I’m about 75% done on the whole thing. I expect by the middle of next week I’ll have it submitted to Immy for posting. [•] I love paranoia news articles. Like this one on the dangers of static electricity while pumping gas. I can picture it now: Tons of frantic consumers strapping on antistatic wrist straps and grounding themselves prior to pumping gas. BTW: It’s a little know fact, but cat fur is major static electricity conductor. So it’s a good idea not to pet your cat while pumping gas not that I know anyone who does, but you’ve been warned. [•] It appears that the Olmecs invented writing in the Americas. [•] So it’s December and I’ve already gotten a major snowfall dumped on my little village in New York. Nothing too bad and things are looking clear today, but I’ll tell you what sliding your car rally style through the snow is fun. Ah, the joys of winter. [•] US military troops are in place for war if need be. [•] Africa apparently has its own Stonehenge-like structure. [•] So The Sopranos are almost over and I really didn’t watch this season. No time to. I like that they whacked Ralphie and now that they cleared up a lot of junk maybe they can move onto the real mob war. Or not. [•] Animation legend William Henson died in a car crash. He was 78-years old. [•] A recent survey found that Mac lovers have loyalty to the brand because the Apple’s computer designs invoke infant-like features thus triggering people to love them like children. This only really proves one thing: Mac users are fucking crazy. It’s a computer for Christmas sakes not a baby! [•] Bread and cereal seem to increase the hormone levels that cause pimples. [•] Paul Grey (bassist of Slipknot) has started a band with two member of American Head Charge called F.O.R. Slipknot itself insists that primary song recording beings New Year’s Day (especially if by “recording” they mean “drinking a lot”) and that by March the whole band will convene to lay down tracks. Nice. [•] The VH1 Big in 2002 Awards celebrated all that is big (ummm… like sausage). [•] US Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill has resigned. [•] I like the new Lincoln autos. They are pretty nice. This is a sure sign that I’m getting old. [•] Rumor has it that Nissan is going to revive the Datsun brand name. Nice! [•] Bored? Then you’ve never shot a potato out of cannon. Need I say more?

Classic DF – 7/20/00


July 20, 2000: [•] Protests have broken out in Japan over the G8 Conference, which protesters says will keep the poorest nations poor and ruin world peace. [•] Greenland’s ice cap is shrinking and ocean levels are rising. Not good. [•] The Emmy Nominations have been announced. [•] Don’t take her monkey! [•] Chinese authorities arrested protesters on the anniversary of the Falun Gong arrests. [•] Mental Note: If they can play ball then they can stay. [•] The US House has passed a marriage tax repeal to grant tax breaks to married couples. [•] An ex-National Guard has been arrested for breaking into a Wisconsin National Guard Base. [•] Protesters want to move a W.W.II monument from in between the Washington and Lincoln Monuments since they believe no man made object should stand between. Bunch of whiners. [•] Unhappy? Divorced? Got the Net? Then there is a web site for you! [•] The MPAA, RIAA, and NMPA are suing Scour.com. We knew it was coming. [•] Visa USA, Cisco, and Sun Microsystems have joined together to create the largest private financial network. [•] How the “dot-nots” compete. [•] Can light moving faster than the speed of light make a faster computer. [•] Duh Study of the Day: 90% of web sites are poorly designed. Hey, that’s why we rule. We just look so damn good 🙂 [•] Meet the new G4. It is incredible. [•] Or if you like colors: the new iMacs are pretty cool too. [•] Colon cancer often is misdiagnosed 1/3 of the time. [•] Now 97% of group B streptococcal infections can be detected in 45 minutes in pregnant women. [•] A drug used to control overdoses and lung disease may prevent kidney damage. [•] Jon Johansen (the creator of DeCSS) is coming to NYC to testify. [•] The FTC says to maintain privacy on the web or die! [•] Sony is going to stream music (Can you say MP3.com?). [•] Lucent will be spinning off an IPO, Softcom and Interactive Video Technologies are merging, and MSN Messenger 3 is out (it supports Net2Phone, Internet paging, and you don’t have to sign up for a Hotmail account). [•] The new Internet Explorer beta is being tested and it can handle cookies. Nice stuff. [•] A man was reporting reckless drivers to the police and then one of them hit him while still on the phone. [•] Jason and Mark Vogt have been accused of more sexual abuse charges. [•] Muggings, burgalries, and golf clubs… oh my. [•] A scooter company has won $500,000 from the Spice Girls. [•] Brace yourself: 3rd Base is back (oh my God). [•] Pearl Jam has been blamed for the Rockslide Festival deaths. Sure, it’s always the bands fault not the actual people pushing and acting like assholes. [•] SeemsLikeSalvation News is reporting Marilyn Manson’s Holy Wood release as October via confirmation by John 5 and that the new A Perfect Circle single will be Hollow (it will include a live cut of Hollow and the remix of Judith by Danny Lohner). [•] Did Apple pull the new ATI Radeon card from the new G4 cube because they leaked information before Macworld? Looks like it. [•] A Russian newscaster has found a new way to attract viewers– strip naked while reading the news. [•] Today’s Rapper in Deep Shit: Eminem won’t be able to plea bargain. [•] New Rhyme & Reason Tour dates have been added. [•] Just what can USB 2.0 do? [•] A review of Abit’s overclocking motherboard. [•] Tweak your Windows 2000 memory settings. [•] Put all your audio inputs, joystick inputs, and more in the front of your PC! [•] Specifications for Ford’s new F150 SVT Lightning are out. [•] The new Toyota Corolla has been announced and it looks very nice. [•] It looks like the PT Cruiser will be the VW Beetle of 2000. [•] GM has increased its ownership in Suzuki and Honda is selling engines to GM. [•] Michael Moore discusses why Ralph Nader may be your man for President. [•] Azazel I love you! [•] It looks like I’ll be moving soon to my mother-in-law’s. Honestly, I’m not to happy about that. I haven’t been getting along with her for a while. It’s not that she is a bad person, but I just don’t agree with 99.9% of what she believes and 50% of what she does. I just don’t like that part of her. I really think she hurts Azazel more then she helps her, but she doesn’t want to believe that because that’s her mom. So I have to respect my wife’s wishes. Honestly, I’m not too happy about any of this, but our future child needs a place to live and my mom just doesn’t have the room, but my mother-in-law does. Ultimately what would make me happy is a place of our own, but that is off a bit (1 or 2 years). Everyone tells me I should bite the bullet and do what’s best for my child. But I ask you is the best exposing our child to what I worst abhor in a person? I don’t know… I just don’t know anymore.
