CBS Failing At MindControlling Each Of Us.

Filed under: Music and Stuff,Sports — admin @ 6:25 am

Two important things we should never forget about Janet Jackson’s “accidental” wardrobe malfunction.

1) Justin Timberlake singing “I’ll have you naked by the end of this song”

2) Companion cable channel’s simulcast of a full contact bikini-clad touch football game where someone almost lost her bottom at the same exact time as Janet’s nipple slip.

We,

the viewers:

Are being played…

like a Wagner “Rienzi” at a WWII rally.

Fox Unethical Again Handling The Miley Cyrus Hack.

Filed under: Mundane Or Sublime,News,Tech — admin @ 6:54 pm

So, just when you think Fox sNooze has stooped to the lowest low they can go:

..they drop even deeper in it.

This time they’ve disrespected some hackerkids bigtime.

Follow this:

On July 12, 2008, a hacker known by the pseudonym TrainReq posted several racy photographs of Miley on the website Digital Gangster. TrainReq claimed he obtained the photos from Cyrus’ camera phone.[52] On July 14, 2008, FOX News aired the story, claiming that the photographs had been leaked by an “anonymous” source. [53] Soon after the story was aired, a discovery was made that FOX News had displayed images which had been clearly altered to remove the original watermarks left by TrainReq. [54]

(No, I’m not going to post the pix in here. (With OR without watermarks!))

So The Other Day I Was A Turnstile Jumper

Filed under: Academic,Mundane Or Sublime,Sports — admin @ 1:23 pm

I jumped turnstiles the other day. First time since my teen years. It was 9july. My card expires the 10th. So it still should be good. Nope. Coded wrong or something. MBTA authorities just kept scanning me through but none of them were willing to fix my card for me. One of the times I was in quite a hurry. I stood there waiting while the MBTA authority tended to the needs of someone who couldn’t get her credit card to work. More and more I waited so I finally just gave up and turned around looked for the fastest walker and stood behind her. She swiped her card, and walked on through. I walked on through right behind her. No one seemed to care. Me either. I figured if they saw me on camera and tried to freak out, maybe then they’ll fix my card! So I was a turnstile jumper for a day and a half.

Officials Didn’t Shift Suspicion To Jalapenos Til Yesterday!

Filed under: Food — admin @ 5:46 am

WHY DID OFFICIALS WAIT

SO LONG TO SHIFT SUSPICIONS

They have no idea whether it’s

even peppers & tomatoes, do they??

Will this level of incompetence

exceed Katrina and Rita when

all is said and done???

I sound a little ticked off?

Yes.

David Gray Doesn’t Want Military Using His Music For Torture

Filed under: News — admin @ 7:24 am

David Gray wants the US military to stop using of his music as torture in “War on Terror” prisons in Guantánamo, in Iraq, and in secret prisons run by the CIA.

He told BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonight, “What we’re talking about here is people in a darkened room, physically inhibited by handcuffs, bags over their heads and music blaring at them for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That is torture.”

Attack Of The Killer Jalapenos; Salsa ? ? ?

Filed under: Food — admin @ 3:28 am

Wait, the Salmonella looks to be from fresh commercial jalapenos now, rather than tomatoes??? Start from SYSCO Foods!

Shut them down for 48 hours and investigate them back first and then forward. Repeat with each smaller company til you find it!

Now gimme Tommy Thompson’s old job at Health and Human Services. He’s incompetent.

Memory Lane

Filed under: Mundane Or Sublime,Music and Stuff — admin @ 9:42 am

Ooh neat.

I’m looking over an old blankbook journal (#56) and it’s one where I was asking lots of famous people to sign my journal instead of whatever books, cds etc I bought “from them.”

So the inside cover says the following.

To Marc
and your good heart
Winona LaDuke
2000

Marc
Stay Human
Michael Franti
2000

Jello Biafra

and then I’ve got three stickers that Congressman Barrett put in my guitar case when he was running for Governor.

and more memory lane:

The sticker from a used copy I purchased of “Steal This Movie,”

and the upc sticker from Lucky Boys Confusion’s “Throwing The Game.”

Ah, I knew them when…

Bad News Good News. People Are Stealing My Songs

Filed under: Mundane Or Sublime,Music and Stuff,Tech — admin @ 6:31 am

Bad news good news.

Someone out there is giving away mp3s of my music,
and then using them to tease people into joining a ringtone
subscription service.

http://beemp3.com/index.php?q=marco+capelli&st=artist

Is that the bad news or the good news?

Both.

Listen,
these are all songs I’ve given away completely all over the internet
wanting people to hear them pro bono!

Please explore whether you can convert an mp3 to a ringtone at
no charge to yourself on the particular phone you have.

Please only purchase a ringtone of my music if there is NO OTHER
POSSIBLE WAY TO GET IT FREE.

My music was not made to be bought and sold!

It was made to be shared, loved, cuddled with, given away, felt, heard
and understood on levels that money can NEVER translate or interpret.

Oh well, so this is good news and bad news. I’m a little frustrated that
there’s someone out there trying to monetize, but I’m ecstatic that every
single one of these are available FREE OF CHARGE somewhere else.

Please find the free ones, you’ll feel much better about that.

So anyhew, here’s a couple places to find them FREE:

google:   mp3notcom   (all one word)

Or just wander around here a little while:

Half Moon Prepares For Storm At New London Pier

Filed under: Academic — admin @ 9:03 am

Here’s the Henry Hudson replica ship porting in downtown New London ‘il Friday when she will take students up to Hartford for some hands-on classes.

Watch the crew wrestle with the mid sail before a small storm hits. They’ve already got the aft down, and everything else is ready. Minutes after I stopped filming about an inch of rain dropped in less than an hour. You see the dark clouds and hear the wind in this film.

Watch video of the preparation.
