Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jun 14, 2003 5:54pm PDTIt's been quite the thunderstorm adventure around these parts! Busted street lights for everyone and stalled cars for added giggles. The cats totally freaking out is also good for a few chuckles. I think for some strange reason we're going to see that Harrison Ford movie this weekend. I havent figured out why yet.
- Lockheed building a nuclear spacecraft (!) - Waffle House funeral, sounds like a great guy - Roswell declassified Thanks Fark - Dont drink Pepsi on your Coke job - Nifty screen technology - Hydrogen power.. hot or not?Lastly, yay we chose a place and are moving! A few too many dead animals were starting to show up in the mailbox for my taste so it's time to change locations eh? We're gonna have to split rent with some guy we picked up off the street but for the first time in ages we can finally not worry about waking up the neighbors when Crystal watches her porn really loud.

With influences drawn from diverse sources all over the world — from Istanbul to Bolivia, Andalusia to North Africa — Up, Bustle and Out are one of the harder to pin down groups on the experimental breakbeat landscape... Combining source tapes with hip-hop beats, percussion and instrumental tracks recorded in the studio, and vocal and spoken snippets, the group fashioned a unique, signature blend attracting fans of Latin jazz and world music as often as club heads familiar with the more standard Ninja Tune fare.

...the debut full-length from Populous. "Quipo" is full-of downtempo melodic hiss and crackle augmented with acoustic elements like strings, guitars, and keys. A beautiful and perfect companion to Boards of Canada's "Twoism."
They rock, enjoy! And as always, buy the cds if you like them!

I was looking at the Samsung Digimax line, they seem to be not bad and reasonably priced. Price is a big thing.
Can anyone suggest anything else?

Where I need the pw for Jonas. I bet 90% of the people here have no clue what I'm talking about but if one person knows of a spoiler site or could help me I would be very grateful. Its driving me crazy. I have looked for an hour for a spoiler area on a message board to no avail.

It's basically a music video for Portishead's To Kill a Deadman. And since the song doesn't already have a music video for it (if you don't count the short film they made of the same name), I thought I'd make one.
The footage I used is from a childhood favorite of mine, an 80's Japanese TV series and manga based heavily on Greek/Roman mythos called Saint Seiya. It eventually went international and has a pretty decent sized cult following worldwide. The footage itself is from one of the movies called, When Gods Battle. As
the case with most anime, the TV series turned out far more superior than any of the movies, but WGB was probably my favorite of the ones that were made. People may draw comparisons with the monkey-sporting fireball-flinging yelling-across-the-span-of-multiple-episodes-having junk popular with the kids today, but in all seriousness, and those who have followed the show or manga can attest to this, you just can't. It totally destroys them.
Anyway, here. It isn't much, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together:

When I was in college a group of us went river tubing, we got a couple coolers and floated them down the river with beer. 2 hours later and everyone was pretty drunk...
Well there was a sharp bend and myself and another guy were in front and we noticed a concrete bridge up ahead with the stream water being sucked under some metal grates. Anyone that didn't paddle hard to the side of the river would get sucked under and most likely drown pinned underwater against the grate. Myself and my friend got to shore and ran up on the bridge which was only about 3 feet high off the water. Sure enough 2 girls and guy in our group didn't notice and weren't able to paddle away, luckily they were spaced about 20 feet downriver from each other or we would've lost someone. My friend and I literally grabbed the upstretched arms of each person and dragged them up onto the bridge, we both had to help the guy get up. Felt really good to save a person's life.
Then of course I see one of the girls in a bar a year later and she hardly says hi.

I was an engineer. Yes that's right, I was spamming with two whole grenades.
I think it was more like because my score was 30/5 (with no caps, the map was warpath) and I laughed to an enemy engineer (I have this fervent hate for enemy engineers and take extra pleasure in weeding out their sentries and killing them too) who prompty started a vote that somehow got passed. Oh well.
I love that game.
