“We can only wonder if cloud computing may make us nostalgic one day for having a real ‘file’ on the hard drive of one’s own computer—or if silicon brain implants may make us wax poetic for the days when one’s computing happened on a laptop. In the march toward increasing abstraction, whatever we had previously will seem like the real thing.”

yes, that is me in a sea of ranger fans at game three of the ALDS. forgive the bigfoot-esque picture quality, but i can assure you i was full-on blue steel at that very moment.
it seems major league baseball has something called the 2010 postseason tagoramic which offers a google maps-like view into the seats of all the playoff games (if you are in range from a centerfield-to-home perspective). i found out about it today when a buddy of mine (who i saw at game two of the ALCS) got himself tagoramiced on facebook. that prompted myself to find…myself.
as big brothery as this may seem, i still think it is pretty sweet. when scrolling through, it’s fun to catch half-torsos and double faces as the images overlap. sucks for you if you happened to be on a beer run during the photo, but in the instance of the annoying guy with the sombrero five rows in front of us who drunkenly kept standing up to seek attention / annoy, it is only fitting that assholes like him got left off the sweet panoramic pic.
that’s what i call karma, senior.
hottttttttt
“Why don’t you tell us a little bit about that, Jim?”
i think zoolander character mugatu was modeled after mr. danielewicz.

this was great, but one part threw me. as he was getting into the second verse at the 1:42 mark he said “right alone in my chair.”
right alone? that doesn’t even make sense. i had always heard/sang “ridin’ low in my chair.” i mean, the kid is trying to lay low in class as to not be seen by the teacher who would undoubtedly asked him to turn in his homework (which, apparently, the dog ate).
so to clarify things, i looked it up online only to find sites that verify both options. wtf, how is this possible?
right alone - incorrect, go to jail you asshole.
ridin’ low - thank you.
since neither of the sites are very credible, listen to the original and decide for yourself.
just remember: a vote for ridin’ low is a vote for america. godspeed.
what bothers me is that he’s on the shitter. i know that bathrooms have great acoustics, but c’mon y’all, it’s a youtube video, not your major label debut. nice shower curtain, by the way.

you don't know glenn casper: pool rules!
we have a communal pool at our condo complex. it is pretty small and not that great, but people still go there because, you know, it’s a pool.
over the past weekend someone’s kid was playing in the fountain and “damaged” something, thus requiring the crotchety, old-ass-old HOA president to send…
i love you.
