Bush Game is a fantastic almagamation of video games, politics, pop culture and comedy. It’s fun, but it’s also packed with facts about Bush’s policies. You start out with Hulk Hogan, Mr. T and He-Man and you have to fight against the Bush family, cabinet and friends getting more characters along the way. Hilarity ensues.
Al Gore wrote this speech about the state of things. In it, Gore talks about the effects that Bush’s policy are having, the division he is causing in this country as well as between the US and the world and calls for the resignation of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith and Cambone.
Steve Albini gives a lecture at Tenessee State about his history, process and ideals. Anyone in a band should watch it.

Josef Muller Brockmann is incredible. An exhibition of his posters in Dublin with a rather nice online overview, something the man might be proud of.

My ftp is back up. If you aren’t down, I’ve got about 100 gigs of mp3s that you can get at. Email me for a login and password.
If you want to upload, use these instructions to rip cds. The URL does not lie.

If you are reading this can you send me an email? I probably want your email address and my address book is gone.
While you’re at it you might as well send me your phone number. New phone and new address book and stuff.

The Manual by The KLF (How to Have a Number One Hit the Easy Way)
By the way, somebody should analyze all of the Illuminatus references in the KLF stuff. A worthy exercise.

Yesterday was a good day for eating burritos in the park and listening to Buena Vista Social Club.
I look at the people in Friendster that have 100 friends with the same kind of suspicion as people in real world who have 30 sexual partners.”
Days in a Day is rad web style stuff if you haven’t seen it. It won some awards and stuff.

Fuck Spring Cleaning.
I’m into Spring Upgrading.
I just got the amazing Sony Ericsson T616 GSM phone and it’s a shitload better than my old screenless wonder. If you call me now, we’ll be able to talk, like as in a conversation. We really should chat.
I also completely cleared my computer and have done all fresh installs. There was a lot of crashing going on, now there’s substantially less. I’m now running a legit copy of XP SP1. It was still free, but it is now a legitimate and registered copy. The Adobe Creative Suite is absolutely brilliant.
I switched from using my old school WinAmp 2.6 to Windows Media Player. I’m not all that into their Media Library (my media library would take about 4 hours just to load the names) but it just sounds better. I’m also pretty into the mini mode.
I also picked up Redchair Anapod Explorer which I’m still experimenting with. Either way it seems a lot better than any other option for PC iPodding.
Spring Upgrade. Haircuts count too.
