ach, so

the end result is: this blog will suffer

proximal cause: tumblrs are awesome. they're so goddamn easy to update. i have a bookmark bar button that will open a new small page with a link in it to whatever i was looking at, with photos or videos or wtvr ALREADY IN IT, it scraped the blog/youtube/wtvr title, and is one quick click away from being posted.

not only that, i also have a tumblr widget that opens with one button (with the other widgets), enter wtvr in the text box, and another click posts it.

typepad blows chunks by comparison. it's pageload time is actually a problem sometimes. defintely web 1.9b stuff.

anyways. i just checked the stats for the first time ever, and they're roughly in line with my hopes, at this point, considering i do pretty minimal (readas; near non-existent) self-promotion.

i guess i'll keep photoblogging the construction here, at the least. and if i ever manage to do more longform stuff, this would probably be the place to put it. another disclaimer: a twopage essay is about as longform as i'm likely to get, for the foreseeable future.

wtvr. got to get digging.

stop complaining about one fucking vote, and look at mccain.

rough morning.

overclocked

-got up at 430 am 

-took nada and logan to the airport 

-sat in the subway in a walmart and surfed the internet on my cellular awesome machine, while waiting for the normal people to get to work so i could shop

+went to mckays used books and bought a brins uplift war, and clarkes childhoods end (never read it, recently mocked it on reddit, thought i should maybe read it)

-waited for hours in town for a guy to call me back about 100 5 gal buckets he was throwing away. fucker didn't call.

+watched speed racer at the dollar theater while on my cellular awesome machine

+bought bacon and potatoes

+cooked bacon and potatoes

+ate bacon and potatoes

+recieved many packages of building supplies and tools. mmmmmmmmmmmm froe.

+bought mass quantities of bulk food. mmmmmmmrollled oats.

+/- spent a lot of time on reddit, taking the overmind's temperature

+talked to josh

+saw his vlog, and realized that i'm probably going to have to do one too, just because i can. i totally love being a future addict. i totally hate being a future addict. i have two blogs, a flickr, am an active redditor , and have slowly fading accounts at facebook, myspace, friendster (in ascending order of fadedness) and I DONT NEED NEW PROJECTS.

+watched into the wild (you should DEFINITELY see it)

+totally accidentally realized that the into the wild kid was also speed racer. which was wierd and totally abberationally synchronous and perhaps a little revealing.

+watched red v blue while learning knots

+talked to jill

-lost this whole damn blog post one time, links and all. you're lucky i love my readers so goddamn much. but i no longer love typepad. which is the crappy part of being a future addict, you keep having to retranslate from old formats, and usually end up losing 80% of your old content.

soon there will be shade.

relevant to the theory

a reddit discussion: If the resources of the earth were divided equally between every single person on it, what kind of living conditions would we all be in?

not really of the alt theory, but it's set up to auto-forward, so... here it is.

the damn clippies were fun and cool, but it got so ithat i had almost a linear foot of clippies in my hair (two @ 3", 1 @ 5") and my hair was still a bit of a mess.

plus they'd get caught on shit, and rip my scalp out of my head.

plus, it's fucking july.

minus, bugs have been going crazy over my dead, flaky scalp, the buggers.

plus, i get to wear sun hats again.

minus, my shades dont hold on to the top of my head when i push them up, they slide right off.


like you care.

kindof an nice picture tho.
