Incompetent Efficiency

Chulk one up for the good guys...

Apparently, some bars are working around Nazi-Smoking Bans by holding "theater nights'' where everyone in the bar is a participant in a theatrical production. Because actors can still smoke on stage during a production they seem to have found a wonderful little loophole.

This reminds me of when my local city counsel attempted to band erotic dancing within city limits. The gentlemen's clubs started having the girls wear costumes and act out little plays because theaters were exempt from the nudity ordinance.

Now, anytime someone picks on me for smoking I'll let them know I'm just rehearsing.

"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else."

WHATZ UP MY "Canadian"!

2008-01-28T09:53:00.000-05:00

Every day I wake up to discover what an extremely weird world I live in. Well, I guess this makes about as much sense as anything...

"Last August, a blogger in Cincinnati going by the name CincyBlurg reported that a black friend from the southeastern U.S. had recently discovered that she was being called a Canadian. "She told me a story of when she was working in a shop in the South and she overheard some of her customers complaining that they were always waited on by a Canadian at that place. She didn't understand what they were talking about and assumed they must be talking about someone else," the blogger wrote.
"After this happened several times with different patrons, she mentioned it to one of her co-workers. He told her that ‘Canadian' was the new derogatory term that racist Southerners were using to describe persons they would have previously referred to [with the N-word.]"

A similar case in Kansas City was reported last year on a Listserv, or electronic mailing list, used by linguistics experts. A University of Kansas linguist said that a waitress friend reported that "fellow workers used to use a name for inner-city families that were known to not leave a tip: Canadians. ‘Hey, we have a table of Canadians.... They're all yours.' "

[2Pac]
A smokin ass Canadian robbed me blind
I got a tech nine now his smokin ass is mine
I guess I felt sorry for the bastard, he was broke
I didn't know he smoked so I didn't watch him close
He caught me on the sneak tip, now the punk's in deep shit
Catch him on the streets, I'ma bring him to his feet, quick
Pass the clip, I think I see him comin now
Fuck the bullshit, posse deep and let's run him down
Gots to be the first one to hit ya when we meet
Comin quickly up the streets, is the punk ass police
The first one jumped out and said, "Freeze!"
I popped him in his knees and shot him, punk.. please..
Cause cops should mind they business, when we rush
Now you're pleadin like a bitch, cause you don't know how to.. hush..
Now back to the smoker that robbed me
I tell you like Latifah, motherfucker give me.. body..
One to the chest, another to his fuckin dome
Now the shit can rest, yo tell him to leave me the fuck alone
Two very bloody bodies on the streets
A nosey ass cop and a Canadian that robbed from me
Run from your backup punk, how you figure?
My finger's on the trigger for you crooked ass Canadianz

With the fine criminal mind, cold rips like a blade
It's already quick steppin to the Canadianz with the props
and any motherfucker with the flim-flam drops to the knot
Ten o'clock, is a motherfuckin gank move
Stretch is Uptown, clockin weight the shit is real smooth
A Canadian's tryin to play me like he know me but he don't
Sittin on ten keys, I'ma get him, think I won't?
My Canadian 2Pac, got the fuckin Glock cocked, and he's ready
When the kid, didn't even bring the weight bag, instead he
welcomed us, into his apartment
Oh this even better, two to the head, he's dead a clean get-a-WAY!
Canadianz got PAID!
And yet another sleepin ass Canadian got slayed, word up

[2Pac]
Now I could be a crooked Canadian too
When I'm rollin with my crew, watch what crooked Canadianz, do!
I got a nine millimeter Glock pistol
I'm ready to get witcha at the drop, of a whistle
So make your move, and act like you wanna flip
I fire thirteen shots, and pop another clip
I bring luck, my Glock's like a fuckin mop
The more I shot, the more motherfuckers dropped
And even cops got shot when they rolled up
Best to bring a knot, or get popped, I'm a soldier
I ain't the type to fetch ya, ask Stretch, he's my witness
Smoke til I'm blitzed, fuck a motherfuckin piss test
I'm trigger happy, try to 'tack me and I'll drop you quick
Long as I got a clip I got some shit to hit em with
The Canadian killer I get iller when the shit gets thick
My brain flips, I start thinkin like a lunatic

Quote from Avoiding Kids: How Men Cope With Being Cast as Predators

"Good parenting and good education demand that we let children take risks," says Mr. Frederick, a career coach. "We install playground equipment, putting them at risk of falls and broken bones. Why? We want them to challenge themselves and develop muscles and confidence.

"Likewise, while we don't want sexual predators to harm our kids, we do want our kids to develop healthy relationships with adults, both men and women. Instilling a fear of men is a profound disservice to everyone."

To be honest I thought HBO had tabled the idea for this series LONG ago. On the bright side Rodriguez is the first name I've heard associated with this project that's excited me at all.

"If the recording industry is serious about luring music fans away from P2P
networks and other methods of sharing, it should be focusing more attention on
dangling a tastier carrot, rather than swatting more individuals with the lawsuit stick.
The authorized music services suffer from three critical shortcomings when compared
to unauthorized alternatives: (1) anti-consumer “digital rights management” restrictions;
(2) limited inventory; and (3) high prices."

Warner Bros Scans Opening Weekend Audiences for Camcording Pirates

2007-08-21T08:22:00.000-04:00

A 60yo guy in black suit and tie sporting night-vision goggles helps take creepy to the next level.

The Consumerist is running an interesting letter from a reader named "Sam" today who writes to retell a creepy incident that occurred at a viewing of Nicole Kidman's "The Invasion" during its opening weekend at the AMC Lowes Georgetown 14.

Aside from the obvious privacy implications, what makes the incident so particularly creepy, for those that have yet to see "The Invasion," is that the movie is essentially about the "infected" seeking out and either converting or eliminating those that aren't through the use of widespread monitoring and physical coercion.

So to have a 60yo gentleman "sporting a black suit and a black briefcase" standing in the shadows of the theater filming every movement of the audience as they are watching a movie that's already putting them on the edge of their seat rightfully made some even more uncomfortable than they already were.

"Every 5-10 minutes he would sweep the audience with his video camera, then turn it off and just watch us, then turn the camera back on and sweep again," Sam writes. He "...stayed in the theater filming for about 45 minutes."

It's enough to make any normal person who just shelled out $10 bucks of his hard earned money to walk out of the theater and complain, which he apparently did.

"After the movie I went to the Customer Service desk to inquire if they knew about this incident," he writes. "The manager behind the desk informed me that Time Warner/Warner Bros had contracted a security company to film movie theater audiences around the country during the opening weekend of its movies in an effort to prevent piracy."

Now in an update to his letter he notes that the Customer Service Rep was misinformed, that it was night-vision goggles and not a video camera that was being used according to an e-mail response from the Director of Guest Services of AMC Theaters. In fact, she apparently assured him that "AMC would never allow filming of the audience."

In an further odd detail, she complained that this particular "Georgetown 14 theater has been recently hit by pirates and this was part of the effort put on by the studio to combat such piracy."

Being "hit by pirates" means that now all opening weekend theatergoers have to suffer? I could see MAYBE sending the audience through metal detectors in some fashion with clearly observable signs notifying them about the impending intrusion of their privacy and offering a refund to those who refuse. But, to have some guy secretly standing in the shadows in a black suit and tie scanning them for 45 minutes has to be distracting and unnerving to say the least, not to mention downright insulting.

Who wants to be monitored like a schoolchild for half a movie that you just paid to go see? How can anyone be expected to enjoy the moviegoing experience that the MPAA so continually preaches the value of when it becomes degraded to little more than an odd voyeuristic fishing expedition for pirates?

Are we to be treated as potential criminals just for being guilty of wanting to see a movie during its opening weekend box office debut? If this is the case, I think many will simply wait until the weekend that follows and all the movie studios can kiss their holy opening weekend ticket sales figures goodbye.

[Read Sam's entire letter @ The Consumerist]

It is the illusion of safety that saves. If your cowering instincts are not total and paralyzing you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not curl into the fetal position. You will become dead students and then you will be in a world of sh*t because dead students do not provide for your local school district, state or federal funding. Do you maggots understand?

Super Film Trailer Friday!

2007-07-27T16:39:00.000-04:00

This was the trailer I saw for Across the Universe before both Live Free or Die Hard and Harry Potter. It wasn't a "real trailer" but was instead played during the Cinemark First Look Thingy. Thought it was interesting so I thought I'd look it up on the interwub.

Below is the trailer from the official site...

WTF!?!?! Two totally different feels for the film. Hell! It looks like two totally different films. In fact I'd bet Accross the Universe is nothing like what the first trailer would lead us to believe about the film. The first trailer makes me think happy (but slightly dark) musical, that a wide release audience would go see. The website's trailer is more of a stylized period piece (Sad/dark (but sometime happy) film with some singing, that only a small niche audience would go see.

Looks to me like some trickery is afoot! I guess we'll find out in September.

That's right kids. As if there wasn't enough Neil Gaiman worship going on. Now, all the fanboys can smell like their favorite Gaiman characters. You heard me right! Neil Gaim inspired perfume.
At lest fanboys will be wearing something to mask their smell.

"The idea that adults should be playing with their kids is a modern invention -- and not necessarily a good one"

Very interesting article over @ The Boston Globe

Below is an example of a Möbius Strip (for anyone who doesn't know)...

Möbius strip unravelled @ nature.com

My father demonstrated this mathematical phenomenon when I was a young child. I have all ways fascinating been the complexity hidden within simplicity of the Möbius Strip. Now after 75 year some crazy Boffins have mapped an equation to predict the behavior of Möbius' famous strip. Time travel and quantum teleportation can't be far behind!

MacGyver: Where did you learn how to speak Czech?
Diana: Correspondence school.
MacGyver: Oh. Like "the Czech is in the mail"?

This guy removes a wine cork (which is trapped in the bottle) without braking the bottle. It's quite impressive.

Arise ye criminals of want !

Your moment of Communist/ Pingu Zen...

SING WITH ME COMRADE!

The Internationale: English Version

Arise ye starvelings [or workers] from your slumbers
Arise ye criminals of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
and at last ends the age of cant.
Now away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise!
We'll change forthwith [or henceforth] the old conditions
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

CHORUS

Then come comrades rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale
Unites the human race. (repeat).

We peasants, artisans and others,
Enrolled amongst the sons of toil
Let's claim the earth henceforth for brothers
Drive the indolent from the soil.
On our flesh for too long has fed the raven
We've too long been the vultures prey.
But now farewell to spirit craven
The dawn brings in a brighter day.

CHORUS

No saviour from on high delivers
No trust we have in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear.
Ere the thieves will out with their booty
And to all give a happier lot.
Each at his forge must do his duty
And strike the iron while its hot.

CHORUS

FOR THE MOTHER LAND!

"ALL YOUR (High Quality) VIDEO ARE BELONG TO US"

Divx Stage6 could be the first potential YouTube killer. The quality of their streaming video clips is simply breath taking. They've coupled the Divx technology with a video sharing website where users can upload, view, and share super high quality streaming Divx files. It's incredible how quickly the videos on Stage6 buffer and how smoothly they play (even in full screen).
But the best part of the whole service is the one-click downloading of video clips (something the "300 pound gorilla" YouTube is sorely lacking).

The Divx Web Player is specifically designed to work with Firefox (the sites FAQ doesn't even guarantee it will work with Explorer). The player/plug-in provides the ability to watch a video clip embedded or windowed or full screen, which you can switch between on the fly. An other cool feature is activated if you don't move your mouse while watching the clip, the plug-in will slowly dim the screen around the playing video clip. The plug-in is something you should really take a look at.

Divx Stage6 is definitely a content delivery system to keep an eye on.

(Download the Plug-In to watch video. It's WELL worth it!)

Some copiers get to have all the fun...
