Check out these pictures of me winning a beer chugging contest in Rome during a pub crawl:

Unfortunately all I got was a gift certificate to the Hard Rock Cafe in Rome, plus I had to pay for my own beer. But I guess in the end, showing up those tools was worth it.

From a WP chat with Henry Rollins:

Henry Rollins: If James Frey, a former drug addict made up some things in his book, anyone who would be surprised should maybe get a reality check. As far as books like that, if you liked it, got something from it, who cares if it’s true? If you have to watch Oprah Winfrey to get your reading list, you deserve any literary hardships that come your way. A lot of people prefer fantasy to the truth.

Usually I thought the only time hamsters went air born was when our owners threw us up in the air so we could shuffle our feet quickly whilest flying through the air. How wrong I was!

Luckily I have an owner who just pokes me in the head and feeds me candy, instead of sending me through the mail.

In other news, I am almost dead.

Yours sincerely,
Mao

In a world of information management, the most relevant news is the least published.

One of the principle points of American coverage of Iraq is the reflection of the audience. For the most part, coverage is simple and stupid because American’s knowledge of Iraq is at best, simple and stupid. Complex news and events are decoded and primed into headlines, morphing information to include terrorist, insurgent, al-Qaeda, Sunni, Shiite, Kurdish without any relevance to what is actually occurring. The media has pandered to American sensibilities (body counts, landmark dates, etc.) and skewed our belief of how things are going there (a quick trip to CNN.com reiterates this point — the first headline at this time reads “Two die in downing of U.S. copter in Iraq”).

If there’s one animal that seems to get its head perpetually caught in the honey jar, it’s the drunken Polar bear looming about in Europe and Asia. Russia is a resource-wealthy nation with a well-educated constituency, but one that has been consistently stuck in top to bottom societies, from the Czar to the Communist regime to today’s autocracy-in-democracy clothing. Though the early 1990’s provided hope that the former Soviet nation would evolve into a stable and just society, Russia has regressed while watching it’s neighbors develop out of tyranny into democracy.

God claimed to have created a single day rotation of Earth. I have created simultaneous 4 day rotation of Earth. Why do you worship such a stupid God? Do you really believe that your Jew God screwed a hole in the ground to create Adam and Eve out of dirt, at the same time that woman existed in the nation of NOD, Nation of Damsels from where Cain got wife? Adam and Eve were created at the same time, but sexless. A rib was removed from eve and a hole left to make a woman of her. The rib was stuck on Adam to make a man of him - and Eve is still trying to get her rib back.

Dear Dedicated Readers:

I have come with a mission today: Explain It All From Clarissa.

Clarissa Explains It All was a rudimentary television program that ran in the early 1990’s on Nickelodeon. It featured the main character as the slightly aloof, indifferent daughter counterbalanced by the red headed Conservative child bent on world domination (Ferguson), and the liberal parents who were constantly stuffing tofu and thoughts of equality down their mush-brain children’s throat. This formula was directly lifted from Family Ties as the relevance of Alex P Keaton reemerged with the falling of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Reagan Era. There was also Sam, a clear example of emergence the Grunge era, and the author suspects Sam is a distant relative of Eddie Vedder. Sam’s influence was able to create both mimicked video games on Clarissa’s computer and promote sales of Pearl Jam’s first album, Ten. Sam is also the antagonist in Pearl Jam’s video ‘Jeremy’.

Will see if any of these work…… on government time of course…

See image below for a quote from Independent on Sunday that really sums up the crisis with our youth today:

Alright everyone, it’s that time of year again… when everyon in this space we so casually refer to as the “blogosphere” beg for nominations and appreciation for the bloggies. We will do the same, at least on my watch-

I’d suggest dropping us in for best american, best tagline, best political, best entertainment, best community, best-kept-secret, and best new blogs respectively.

You need to drop in some other nominees with ours for each of those categories, so feel free to juice up the list with some of our friends and family out there…

2006 Bloggies

A lot has happened today in the Macintosh universe, as Steve Job’s delivered his keynote address and announced lots of new things, including Intel-based iMacs and MacBooks. This ushers in a new era at Apple, making the era of PPC computing with G4’s & G5’s not quite irrelevant, but certainly in the rear view mirror.

One thing that has not been extensively addressed is the promise from Microsoft to provide Macintosh support for the next five years. This means most likely new versions of Windows Media Player and Office (though Internet Explorer development was halted recently.
