Truth Like The Dark

Paula’s going to kill me for this.

Seems he was for the “sexist” comment before he was against it. Please forward this video broadly. The old GOP bullshit machine needs a viral internet ass whooping.

Lyrics from this ad version of the Violent Femmes‘ classic “Blister in the Sun”:

When I’m a walkin’
I strut my stuff
And I’m so hung out
I fly like a kite
I just might
stop to check you out

That’s a freaking crime. I won’t be drinking a milliliter of Foster’s anytime soon, that’s for sure.

Just finished watching Stargate: The Ark of Truth (which was straight-to-DVD in the USA, but was premiered on SkyOne here in the UK before it’s availability on silver plastic Frisbees later this week).

I hear that it was shot in 16 days. I would have figured it more for a week’s worth. Honestly, it’s not even a good episode. Did wrap up the Ori story line.

But, for an Easter weekend premiere, I was really surprised they didn’t answer the key question for the Stargate Universe:
was Jesus an Ancient, or a Goa-uld?!?

And we don’t even get Ardria in a bikini.

Just an insomniacal giggle of mine. I can see the whole script in my head, I swear.

Golly whiz and geez bang! One of the greatest things evah about my new iPod 160 GB is that I don’t have to worry how much video I stick on it. It’ll take forever to fill this mutha!

And I’ve got a really good system setup to get everything on it I want. I use my PC/TV/DVR setup to record TV shows, I rip DVDs with DVD Decrypter, I use Videora to download torrents and video feeds, and I use Videora iPod Convertor to automagically transfer it all to the ‘pod.

Videora iPod Convertor also converts flash videos from sites like YouTube, and I download those to a directory where everything gets converted to the iPod, using the Video DownloadHelper Firefox Extension.

One of the videos I got to watch on my ‘pod’s amazingly sharp screen while flying across the Atlantic was this Google Talks lecture by David Weinberger on his book Everything is Miscellaneous. Really philosphical stuff, and worth watching. I wonder if the book holds up. And I also wonder whether it mentioned Charles Sanders Peirce, which it most certainly should.

“Externalizing Meaning” is my new catchphrase for what’s happening on the web these days.

Now if my iPod was only tag driven.

This is a very good blog post, about why atheists get angry at the world around them. I’m an agnostic, but any non-believer faces prejudice in this world.

Those of you noticing all the “service unavailable” messages on my blog can blame image redirection service imgred, who have apparently shut down. Now I’ve got to find time to edit all those posts!!

Seriously. I think this might be my desktop wallpaper for the rest of my life.

I’d move there. Seriously, she is a artistic genius, so beautiful inside and out. And look, she was beautiful even before she was Joni Mitchell:
