My friend Leah sent me this article in the Telegraph who has some sort of fucked up HPV that makes him grow cutaneous horns all over his body which I had only seen in the Mutter Museum in Philly.  This shit is way worse than cervical cancer, so next time some girl complains to me about giving her HPV, I am going to show her this.  Oh snap.. I am just playing baby… you know I won’t do you like that.  But seriously, this guy grew roots.  Watch this video.  It is fucking amazing.  I have been up for too long, I am going slowly insane. Sorry.

From Boing Boing.  I am not sure why I find it so interesting, maybe it is because I haven’t aged much since I was 10, but I find the fact that dinosaurs could burrow very cool.  We keep finding out more and more about dinos and thats totally exciting.  I also want to know more about Aztecs and Mayans and stuff.  Maybe I could be Indiana Jones when I grow up.  Or at least see Indiana Jones 4 one day.  Click the scary dinosaur head for more exciting details!

Anyway, before we get to the dino head I wanted to mention some site news.  I stayed up until 11 am today working on this site and my secret flickr account.  I think by Monday I should be able to show the world said account. I also have a new project called the alphabet of photoblogging which should be funny.  It is going to consist of one photo from my flickr account everday for 26 days… or every day I remember to do it.  So yeah, slow posts today and tomorrow… back in action come Monday.

In this weeks New York Times Magazine there is an article by Virginia Heffernan on where technology is leading us. The illustration that accompanies this article is almost identical to the alternate cover to The Gaskets second album, Loose Change, which just happened to be photographed by me.  Let’s compare:

Loose Change Alt Cover “Technolo-G” – Published January 2006

Technology Play Button – New York Times Magazine – Published October 2007

See any similarities?  Or is it just me?  Honestly it is probably just a really weird coincidence, The Gaskets did send the Times a copy of the album.  I just think it’s  pretty unbelievable.

This is a good idea.  I can’t tell you how many times I have walked a block in the wrong direction coming out of a Subway station.  Even in DC where I spent the first 22 years of my life I did the same thing.  When I come out of the 8th ave L, I come out a different hole every time and I have no fucking clue which way to walk.  In the article people complain that no one is going to notice them, but if they were everywhere people would know to look for them and they would look down before getting slightly lost.  I don’t know, it makes a lot of sense to me.  What do you think?

CHICAGO—In what is being called the first conceptual terrorist attack on American soil, the landmark Sears Tower was encased in 18 million tons of strawberry gelatin early Tuesday morning, leaving thousands shocked, angry, and seriously confused.

This is no laughing matter.  These conceptual terrorists have gone too far.  This is an outrage.  We need to take to the art schools with torches.  Someone has to pay for this.  It is time to bomb the Lower East Side and most of San Fransisco.   Bush should not rest until Christo has been brought to justice.  His umbrellas have already killed.  We must find the weapons of mass confusion.  WAKE UP AMERICA.  Our freedom has a price.  We need to cut funding in arts programs to pay for military strikes against… well… art programs.  We have reached a cyan alert people! CYAN!

In a merger of two of the biggest names in celebrity sex tapes, Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon tied the knot today bringing together star power never seen before in a sex tape. “Our tapes together have grossed millions of dollars in internet sales alone.” Anderson stated from her magic show in Las Vegas, “Just imagine how much our tape together will make?” Industry insiders are not as sure. Celebrity Sex tape critic Miles O’Keefe stated “The draw of Salomon’s sex tape was mostly Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson is just… um (sic)… pretty fucking gross now.” He then continued to say that their idea to release their first sex tape theatrically might just backfire. “I’m just not sure that night shot is going to look as sexy on the big screen as it does on the pixilated small screen.” Salomon was more enthusiastic. “If I am going to get Hepatitis C for this it’s gotta be HUGE!” he screamed at an US Weekly reporter. “This is going to be as big as Titanic, except for that I have a bigger dick that Leonardo DiCaprio!” The couple are determined to have the tape stolen and linked to Fox Searchlight for distribution in time for their December divorce.

Finally. Since I moved to NYC I have been reading about talks the city has had about allowing cell phone reception in the subway. Now, while I don’t like the idea of being on the 6 train during rush hour with every asshole on the train talking on their cell phone, I think it is insane that you can’t get reception in trains because people don’t want to be bothered. Every day I ride the J train into the city… it is an above ground train and people talk on their cell phones. I talk on my cell phone. And you know what? It is not that bad. I am rarely bothered. The only time I am ever annoyed is with those god awful walkie-talkie phones that should be illegal in the first place. I would slap the person silly who came up with that fucking idea. That beeping drives me fucking nuts. Sorry… off track. The point is in a few years you are going to be able to talk on your phones while you are in the station which makes calling work to tell them you are going to be ten min late because the train hasn’t showed up yet that much easier. Obviously in case of emergency it is a life saver… literally. For most of the people reading this site it means not missing important phone calls about change in party plans when you are waiting at the Bedford L. I was in DC the other weekend and I could use my cell on the train there. I was on the train for nearly an hour and if I didn’t have reception I would have missed an important call. Anyway, clearly the idea is a good one when the dissenting quote the Times found was this one.

But Karol Ledworowski, 28, a student who lives in Tudor City, thought it was unnecessary. “You can wait until you leave the station to make a phone call or receive a message,” he said. And he worried that terrorists could use cellphone signals to detonate a bomb underground.

This brilliant individual thinks that we shouldn’t have phones on subways is because the terrorists might win. What the fuck? How about when the terrorist blow something up and you are trapped underground and can’t call for help, or reach your families. Or… how about terrorists figuring out another way to blow up a bomb with out a fucking cell phone. For example a suicide bomb like every other time. Or how about stop living your life in fear and worrying what the god damned terrorists are going to do you dumb Bush voting mother fucker. Sorry… I am ranting. This is good for the city, they just should have done this years ago.

“I thought it would never end,” said Fiara, a Brazilian-Finnish brunette who was held in an empty white room for weeks in nothing but Lycra tights and a halter top. “I can’t believe how good it feels to wear something that buttons again.” 

Note to self: When engaging in battle with a bear, do so sober.  Bare knuckle boxing a bear is dangerous enough when you can see straight. PS. This was the best photo I could find of a bear drinking a beer.
