Daft Punk was *Fierce*

.
I went to the Daft Punk show last Friday at The Greek thanks to Fauxnique and Silence Fiction.
It was off the fracking chizzain!
Daft Punk’s live show is *fierce* and well worth the wait. This guy Max said it was mind blowing
The videos on YouTube are low-res and aurally demanding, but give it a second and [...]

Last Saturday a Robot Saved My Life

Eddie saved me from a needless night on the couch, a couple week ago.
Instead I got to see the animatronic melodic absurdness of Captured By Robots just roll-down-the-hill block at Bottom of my the Hill
What the “band” lacks in music writing genius, they make up for with mad, mad genius. (I’m not repeating the word [...]

I recently made a Dogster vanity URL for Sammi of dogster.com/dogs/Sammi
In return, she taught Moxie how to play yo-yo!

Follow-Up to my DRM-Free Downloading Entry

Last week I wrote a congratulatory entry praising the music industry to start allowing their customers to buy song downloads that are not crippled by software that chains it to a single device. My desire is that I can buy a song and listen to it on whatever devices I have at that point and [...]

IMPEACH Banner was a CodePink Action

Last week I posted the above photo I took of an ‘IMPEACH’ banner unfurled at AT&T Park (Giant’s Stadium) during the National Anthem . The entry was heavily cited.
One of the people responsible for the banner posted a comment on my entry saying they were part of a Bay Area group of CodePink. CodePink is [...]

Roman Dachshund!

Check out this Dachshund that literally grabs a lit Roman Candle as if it were a stick and runs around while it’s still going off.
No one is hurt (though that guy almost gets it ;) and lots of laughs, but for teh love of odg, make sure your pups are safe, sound and unthreatened during [...]
