If you want to know why I’ve been scarce on the internet for most of July, here’s part of the reason why. Frankly, working for a company this transparent is really nice.

The State – Monkey Torture
I am so glad that folks have been uploading old The State skits to YouTube so I can show people like Frazier (who is way too young to have caught this when it aired on MTV) that they were the shit.

It’s way beta (i.e. the prefs are in Japanese, it’s a bit buggy) but the review I read of it made it seem way too nice not to try out.

Pitchfork Friendly Band Names, Part Tres
Next time you want to out cool your one friend who brags about downloading the Gnarls Barkley album “months before it was released here in the U.S.”, try dropping any of these fake band names into a conversation:
- The Iron-On Letters
- Scotland Yard
- Cancer Omega
- Kerouac
- Burst Into Flames
Oh, they’re good — but have you heard The Iron-On Letters? Fucking transcendent. I saw them open for Colin Meloy when he was doing his solo Morrissey acoustic thing a while back. I’m pretty sure they’ve got a MySpace.
I guarantee it’ll work almost every time… Well, at least until your friend Googles whatever band you name check and finds this post. *shrug*

Feel The Warmth
A full beard. + 110 degree heat. = No fun.
If everyone wasn’t so damn used to it, I’d have no problems shaving it all off. But alas, it’s one of those things that makes me who I am.
*shrug* C’est la vie.

My, what a dead sexy WordPress plugin. It lets you edit your posts on the page instead of having to jump to the backend. I’ll have to look into implementing this.

So long as they don’t do this the weekend of my high school reunion, I’m so in!

CDs attached to fliers on a pole is actually a pretty neat idea for band promotion.

Woah! IGN has the first 24 minutes of “A Scanner Darkly”, which I saw over the weekend and loved. If you have a little time to kill it’s totally worth watching.

I’ve been using this the past couple days and I’ve been loving the simplicity of the interface compared to Bloglines. Unless I find a reason to hate it, I think I’ve got a new feed reader of choice.

What a clever little Mac Classic mod! Part of me wants to build a set of these, stat.

My inner Maker is saying, “You know, that’s a bit expensive for what ammounts to a couple strips of wood…” But frankly, I don’t think I can make something that looks as elegant as this.
