Catskills Records - eShop




Catskills Records - eShop: "Pepe Deluxé - Salami Fever

Within days of listening to Beatitude for the first time, you'll imagine DJ Shadow throwing his windows open, realising what a fucking beautiful day it is, and deciding to spend it having a noisy, drunken BBQ with actual human beings rather than picking dust off his sneakers in a record shop basement. Beatitude draws inspiration from all over the globe, while the last album had precisely no live instruments on it whatsoever, this one has guitars, brass sections, piano, strings, electric violins 'and lots and lots and lots of drums' "

This is one damn good DJ...Give it a listen...

Saliva @ The Music Mill - 317.841.1850



The Music Mill - 317.841.1850

Clinella and I are going to see Saliva tonight at The Music Mill! It ought to be a great show!

The show fuckin' rocked! We went and had a classy dinner at the Music Mill Restaurant with a couple 24oz. Blue Moons each, then we went to the venue and got the last table and since we're a friendly couple we invited Eric and his wife and another couple to sit with us. Sitting only lasted until Kramus finished their set, when Saliva came on we were standing right up front! It was Thanksgiving weekend and the Colts had a home game at 8 so there were only about 60 people there...but Saliva pulled out the stops, playing almost every song I really dig.

Mad props boys for a killer set!

It's Been Sooooo Long!!!

Hey friends and others who may have read my blog in the past! It's been so damn long since I've had internet access...I've about forgotten about my beloved blog! Not really...I've just been on an internet hiatus...heheh...that's a lie too...I've just been kinda broke. I had to get another car and now I've got payments for that unfortunately.

I've been working at HP as a tech and I really like it, Clinella has a job at St. Vincent's Hospital, which is only about 2 or 3 blocks from our apt. and she loves her job in environmental services. We both love living in Indy, it is a very cool place to be indeed!

I'm here at St. Vincent's taking advantage of the free internet to try and get caught up on my email and make this much overdue blog entry. An asshole at work got our internet access taken away by staying online for 10 hours...so we all have to suffer. I hope to be getting Comcast high-speed in the very near future, until then I'll be coming here for my net fix.

Slender rat by ~Avarre | via deviantART




deviantART: Slender rat by ~Avarre: "Quick story on the picture, first off i wanted to do a symmetrical piece, mayby one of those creepy clowns you see that scare the living daylights out of kids. Something eerie again with a twist.

Then I wanted to play with the lines.. First it was a clown, then because it had too round head it turned out to be a cat. Cats are cool, early tom was cool, cats in warner cartoons are wicked. Then I started to have some trouble with the ears, they became to pointy + something was off..
So the ears had some work and then it hit me a rat. And because a friend of mine is making fame with a Finnish rap group called notkea rotta (lets call it slender rat, because I can't come up with better eng name for them) It all became too clear, so it became a rat.
And after playing with the rat it became a fan-art fake cd cover..."

The Japan Times Online | Why are Japan's morals collapsing?


Photo not featured in original article: Manatsu Hirose | cutymask_melon

The Japan Times Online "The other day," says gynecologist Tsuneo Akaeda, who offers free weekly nighttime health consultations in Tokyo's Roppongi, "a third-year junior high school girl came to me; she wanted an abortion. 'It's my third one,' she said, bold as brass. Then there was another girl, a senior high school girl. She too wanted an abortion. 'I can't do it,' I told her, 'without your boyfriend's consent.' 'Oh!' she said. 'But . . . I have a lot of boyfriends. I don't know which is the father.' 'Well,' I said, 'you know roughly when you became pregnant. Doesn't that narrow it down?' 'Not really -- around then I was making it with two guys at the same time . . . ' "

Addiction | by ~mibi -- via DeviantArt


addiction - Complete Piece

have you ever been an addict. and im not talking
about the hey-i-like-to-do-this-alot type of addict.
im talking about the
if-i-dont-get-it-right-now-im-going-to-fucking-blow-someones-head-off
type of addict. im an addict. ive never blown anyone
to get it. i dont think i would. but i havent been
given the opportunity to either. the reason i say 'i
dont think i would' is because i like to pretend that
i still have something thats mine. dignity, pride,
standards. but i know i would easily toss those away
just to get it. i know because i have. so all i
really have is it. for one hour. for two hours. for
fifteen minutes or however long it last. however long
i can afford it to last. ill be high for fifteen
minutes if thats all i can get.

im an addict. i dont get high just to get high. i
get high just to get my mind off getting high for a
few hours. after a fix im good for eight hours.
maybe. then the last of my previous highs memory
cells dry up and i want. need. how can i get
my next fix. when. how soon. can i afford it.
scratch that. how soon.

i timed it once. seventy seven dollars got me high
for just shy of a hundred minutes. but i got my fix. and
yet i was broke. funny how they call it a fix. each
new fix is like a hollowtip exploding out my backside.
internal bleeding. external bleeding. but i dont
feel it. until i come down.

i should get help. i know. i should get help finding
it and paying for it because the more im high the more i
live. do i want to stop. yes. i want to stop
searching for my fix. i want to stop the hours
inbetween each fix thinking about the next fix each
fix whispering to me that it will be better than the
last fix. i want to stop. and i will. i will when
im rolling around in fields of my drug. when i wont
need a fix because its everywhere and i dont have to
get high because i already am and i will be forever
because everywhere i look is my drug and its holding
me and telling me that im sexy and i will never come
down because i live in a castle in the sky.

so now you know what addicts dream of.

i am an addict. and i love it. it has its positives
and negatives. and im positive im negative. or so im
told. by myself. my brain can hold two opposing
thoughts. one, that this fix is just what i needed.
and two, that i need a fix.

and now its time.

i can hear my drug calling. i pick up the phone.

i say hello.
she says i love you.
my fix.

and im good for another eight hours.

deviantART: Death and Taxes: ... by ~mibi

deviantART: Death and Taxes: ... by ~mibi: "After a year in the making... researching, number crunching, layouts, stock gathering, and lots of procrastinating, i am proud to say it is finally done.

the SUPERDEVIATION, or 'spot' as it was known to some, comes now with the final title.

Death and Taxes: A visual look at where your tax dollars go.

Most people are unaware of how much of their taxes fund our military, and those aware are often misinformed. Well here it is. Laid out, easy to read and compare.
With data straight from the White House.

I hope this makes people think and ask questions.

Why do we spend more on jets than we do on public housing?
Why is the Endowment for the Arts so small?
Whats with all this foreign military financing?

Im sure you can come up with numerous questions of your own. Unfortunately i dont have any answers. Our leaders do. Your president, his cabinet and your congress person have these answers. Ask them for the answers or better yet, demand them. "

PodGuide.tv: Ten Podcasts Apple doesn't want you to know about?

PodGuide.tv: Ten Podcasts Apple doesn't want you to know about?: "Some of the sites we review here, we find through the iTunes Music Store, either in the New & Notable“ section, or in their featured Video Podcasts.

Then, there are some that we find here first, and eventually make their way into prime position in the iTMS, like the great Ask a Ninja.

And then - there are those podcasts that, although excellent, and although available through the search engine on the iTMS, for some reason never make it into prime position. Which means they never benefit from that added exposure, and so remain hidden secrets that you'll only find if you dig deep. It's a vicious circle.

We've featured all these before, so if you're a regular reader there's no new news here, but I thought it was about time some of these hidden gems got another plug.

So, here's PodGuide.TV's Ten Podcasts that, for whatever reason, Apple maybe doesn't want you to know about..."

Too Cool | PLANon | DocuPen RC800




PLANon introduces the DocuPen RC800 color handheld scanner - the latest technology breakthrough from our R&D efforts. We have been able to achieve full color 24 bit scanning in a remarkably compact and light form that provides you with the ultimate convenience. The RC800 is capable of storing 100's of pages into memory and it takes just seconds to scan a page. Choose the mode you want to scan: black and white, standard color or high 24bit color and the resolution from 100 to 400 dpi. Now you can scan your letters, color documents, pictures and bring them into Paperport software (included with the Docupen). The DocuPen is different from other pen sized scanners in that it scans a FULL PAGE width and therefore scans the entire page including text and graphics in as little as 4 seconds. Other handheld and pen scanners only scan single lines of text or records handwriting and some scanners need to be attached to your computer whereas the Docupen overcomes these limitations. The need for convenient out of office scanning is enormous but has not been satisfied because the products to date did not fulfill that need adequately. There truly is no other product like the RC800 on the market today. Planon continues with its mission of "Redefining the way we work"

fluid now offers a re-engineered seating mechanism, hi-tech closed mesh, restyled base and casters. Includes ten-year manufacturer's warranty and advanced features you won't find in other brand-name mesh chairs. Contact us for current pricing!"

I've been involved in transcribing texts and in converting documents into different formats for more than twenty years. These days it's mostly conversion into HTML or XML. I've seen a lot of wasted effort, and also learnt a lot of lessons that are useful to share.

It might seem odd that I'd take the time to write about this, but as XML Activity Lead at W3C I'm concerned about what you might think of as the grass roots and origins as XML every bit as much as XML in the big companies. So what follows are some notes on converting textual documents into XML and HTML."
