Wow what a cool movie. This PBS documentary from 1983 explores the world of graffiti in NYC and its relationship with hip hop culture. You meet the writers themselves as the unheard interviewer asks about their goals, style and relationship with the MTA, their parents, and other writers.
…and of course there’s plenty of Ed […]

Well, my apartment now has the Internet, after missing today’s appointment by nearly 3 hours, Comcast did show up and attempted to hook me up for high speed internet and the primo cable package, instead of just the Internet like I had ordered from Best Buy. They also brought an unneeded cable modem not realizing […]

Well, I still don’t have a home internet connection, I found out today that if you change your time zone on your computer, your appointments in iCal all change too. So I was an hour off (1-4 instead of 12-3) and missed the cable guy this morning when I stepped out to get a quick […]

Anyone who wants a radio frequency licence plate that could be tracked everywhere you go, please raise your hand.
Isn’t this kind of tracking reserved for child moldesters out on parole? If this technology pans out, I wonder what the penalty will be for driving around with an “accidentally” damaged radio tag.

After defeating the first place Raging Alcoholics last week, the Blernsball All-Stars are in prime position for the stretch run. Sitting a full 19 games above .500 and with four opponents left in the regular season, the team controls its own destiny.
