werd?

For all the latenight readers looking to cure boredome, um.. I dont have much for ya. But if you're feeling frisky my advertiser is asking for a approx 40word description of Shugashack.com (give or take 5 words). I am having a hell of a time coming up with something that embodies this place. What the heck is Shugashack.com anyways? Its a freak show! btw the namespacing hack has been taken care of. We're back onto the regular schedule now for working on the comment engine. For the curious the current project is storing off each thread into seperate binaries to lessen the load on mysql before bringing the system live and rendering flat mode. Also, a few people sent in this link from a PBS show with Lars from Metallica and ChuckD debating the whole Napster thing. (Thanks Todd Murray) You can also check out this bit from Eminem getting all pissy at Napster. Add on top of that Radio stations are now using Napster (Thanks ZiPr) to get songs ahead of time and things are getting even uglier.

  • Eminem just flat out sucks. That fake ass whiteboy rap of his is the reason why I cant stand REAL hip hop anymore. Commercialized rap is about some money making bullshit in the first place. Eminem should just take his fake me out ghetto ass back to the alley he crawled out of. While he's at it, take that bullshit he calls RAP with him. Even if Napster falls, 10 more applications will take its place. I think its about time that record labels and greedy musicians got with the fuckin times.... computers and the internet are here to stay.

  • Man, I must be bored. I just played the game "Panty Raider" because I had seen an article on it here.

    What a terrible yet stupid gaming concept. The main idea is to throw green blobs of shit on the females that walk by... after the first hit they start running and it takes a couple hits to get her down to her underwear, but if she's not wearing the right type of underwear(you were supposed to memorize her favorite type) you throw another gob of green shit on her and it changes. Then you are supposed to take a picture of her. Take pictures of the 3 models in their correct underwear types and you go to another level.

    This description probably sounds a lot cooler than it is, but believe me, it's incredibly lame. At least it's a fps game... sorta.

    I am dumber for the experience.







  • I got the lamest idea while I was falling asleep last night.

    You know those photobooths in the malls and at touristy spots? I thought, why not scan the peeps in the booth with a ring of "laser beams" to get a 3space snapshot sort of like how it's done currently. On the same pass take a positional snapshot of the color components. Then, use some kind of cheapo rapid prototyping to build up or carve out the family (or nude couple, or whatever) out of styrofoam (or something) then have the puter paint it with "good enough" granularity. Can't do a thing about textures and specular though...

    Stupid "idea" right? Who the hell would want a quarter, or full scale model of themselves for the mantle when a picture would do. There's always the pr0n application though. :)




  • Yeah, it's all about college radio.

    One station kick serious ass, but I can only get them if I'm pretty much standing next to the antenna...think Simpsons with the Bleeding Gums Murphy album...

    The DJs have balls too, I know a few of them personally, and they'll play my requests from time to time. So what do I request? The Decline by NOFX...18 minutes of pure punk bliss. Yep, a radio station plays an 18 minute song...unheard of. Check out the song even if you only like punk a little bit. It doesn't feel like one long song...

    Around home here, we have Rebel Radio at night. They play more metal though, so I'm not really down with it, but it sure beats the pants off Q101...they killed 103.5 the Blaze around here, so there is NOTHING on the radio. 94.7 classic rock doesn't play enough good stuff...

    Radio sucks my balls!
