drunk history i'm not sure why -- but this series, called drunk history had me laughing so hard, i cried. the basic premise is that they get a comedian really drunk and then have them tell a historical story as best they can under the "circumstances". the twist though, is that they then get fairly well known actors to act out the scenes in full historical garb and miming the story exactly as rendered from the drunk comedian. it's kind of a weird premise but it works for me. if you're offended by bad language, be sure to just skip it.

tetris Tetris theme song from 1992 – “Dr. Spin” is actually Andrew Lloyd Webber weirdly enough… His version of the song was #6 on UK charts for weeks… These are the lyrics to the Russian folk song the theme is based off of… Oy, my crate is so full, I've got chintz and brocade. Take pity, oh sweety, Of this lad's shoulder I will, I will go out into the tall rye, I will wait there till the night comes, Once I see the dark-eyed lass, I will showcase all my goods. I paid no small price myself, So don't bargain or be stingy, Bring your scarlet lips to me, Sit closer to this fine lad. The foggy night has already come, The daring lad is awaiting, Hark, it's her! The desired one has come, The merchant is selling his goods. Katya is haggling with care, She is afraid to pay too much, A lad is kissing his lass, Asking her to raise the price. Only the deep night knows, What they agreed upon. Straighten up now, oh tall rye, And keep their secret scrupulously! Oy, my crate is so light, The strap is no longer cutting into my shoulders! And all my lass took Was one turquoise ring. Plus a 25th anniversary look back link.

nice! android 2.1 for the droid is rolling this week speech recognition whenever a text-entry box appears...and an enhanced virtual keyboard. 3d picture gallery. pinch to zoom in the web browser, gallery, and maps application. updates to the music application. google googles is now integrated, rather than a standalone app. better battery management. and probably a few bug fixes here and there. also, it supports the newly released google earth app. looking forward to it.

skynet (tm) skynet (tm) stardate: 02.17.2010 an android phone remote controlling lego mindstorms robots using the tilt sensor, excellent for delivering "packages" and doing surveillence. air force bugbots, swarming mavs (micro air vehicles), "science-fiction" at this point? maybe, but check out this sky drone video. this one's real. this is how the robots will reproduce a couple of these mechanical cockroaches will soon be crawling out of some dead guy's mouth in a horror movie and being dropped by the millions out of low flying drones. to survive the robots, you may need your own pav (personal armored vehicle). unfortunately, that will likely be no match for the largest version of the snow dragon, a steampunk version of the flamethrower... who, of course, is no match for the missle defence agencies airborne laser except that the airborne laser will more likely be targeting your personal armored vehicle. it's been nice knowing you.

things not to do to your carpet 1. invite jackson pollock over to your house and have a bucket of paint anywhere in the vicinity. 2. carry a trash bag with the remains of a "2000 flushes"-type toilet bowl cleaner, the one that comes in the form of a jar that you put in the tank, around your basement to collect the trash from the other wastebaskets — and then, notice that the bag has a hole in it which is allowing a roughly 35 foot long 1/2 inch wide swatch of "n-ethyl-n-(4[(4-(ethyl[(3-sulfophenyl)methyl]amino) phenyl)-(2-sulfophenyl)methylene]-2, 5-cyclohexadien-1-ylidene)3-sulfobenzenemethanaminium hydroxide inner salt, disodium salt" or "acid blue die #9" as it's better known, onto your carpet. after four hours of hand blotting the carpet and nine hours of steam cleaning, normality seems to have been restored partially although i think i have another night of steam cleaning ahead. neither of these activities can be recommended.

anatone.net is back due to a cpu fan failure, the anatone.net machine quit working. i took the opportunity, when replacing the machine with my former desktop computer, to upgrade from windows server 2003 to server 2008. now, anatone.net is back after a restore -- windows home server saves the files again. remember to backup your data, kids.
