Crazy, but bad ass 1300mAh rechargeable batteries that get their juice from a USB port.

Lovely! This will come in handy later.

This time he “embedded” a British phone booth across the street from Philippe’s. No use in going to see it tho as it’s apparently already been removed.

No Sympathy For The Record Industry
Brendon Lloyd has done a scathingly funny letter from the RIAA to an alleged illegal downloader for McSweeney’s that’s really worth reading. Check it out:
This is your notice that you will be sued for one of the following:
- Downloading a song from the Internet.
- Singing the “Happy Birthday” song.
- Other.
- None of the above.
If you would prefer not to be stripped of your home and dignity, please send us $3,750 in the return envelope. If your toddler has been named in this lawsuit, explain to them that the fruits of their labor as an adult will go to pay a debt that will ultimately lead to their death at a young age due to their inability to afford medical insurance. Toddlers never understand that, but they’ll get the point if you make them cry. If your household pet has been named in this lawsuit, it will be euthanized.

Scheduling Conflicts
It’s no secret that I loves me some “Gilmore Girls“. So while I’m excited to see the show come back, I’m also sad that I have to make a choice between it and “House” as of next week.
I guess BitTorrent and my brother’s roommate’s TiVo will have to fill in the blanks for me…

Direct proof of why Wikipedia is the greatest fucking site on the internet. The level of detail on this article is damn near staggering.

BitTorrent finally gets some of that classic David Watanabe polish.

Had Randy not pointed out that Nick Frost and Simon Pegg were doing a video blog for their new film “Hot Fuzz”, I’d have been oblivious. Danke!

The White Stripes Vs Bart Simpson
As always, YouTube picks up the slack to show me the bits of TV I wish I hadn’t missed. While it’s nice to see Meg and Jack doing a clever little cameo, I can’t help but think this feels a little too much like a Family Guy style tangent for me to call it genius. *shrug* Whatev.

Banksy’s Elephant
Here’s a quick little video of the much buzzed painted elephant from Banksy’s “Barely Legal” exhibit. I’ll have my photos and other reflections posted a bit later tonight.
P.S. From what I understand, the elephant was covered in breathable paint and seemed rather chill in its behavior while I was there. It was also constantly being fed hay and taken outside at least once over the hour that Sarah and I were there checking things out. So spare me any comments about animal cruelty, por favor.

This makes me even more excited to see this. P.S. Meg White, you are too damn cute.

Turns out it’s 960px. -
Alice is right… How Gibsonian.

Sean nails exactly how I feel about Banksy’s painted elephant controversy.

Jesus The Mexican Boy
*swoon* “Jesus The Mexican Boy” is one of my all time favorite Iron & Wine songs — right behind “Naked As We Came” and “The Trapeze Swinger”. And while you can’t download legal, free versions of the other two tracks Sub Pop was nice enough to offer up “Jesus…” for free.
If you’ve never heard it — or of Iron & Wine for that matter — I suggest you give it a listen. Well, you know, so long as you’re into beautifully quiet acoustic indie stuff… [mp3]
