I've even heard that they're trying for an inter-artist jam session. It’s all pubic-hair conjecture at this point but if it really did go down, wow, that would be delicious. The carpet and the drapes.

I’d love to see The White Stripes and Kanye bang out a track. Of course West is far too much of an egotistical prick-stick for that to happen.

Still, sounds like it could be great. I’m not so sure about the name though, after math I usually have recess where I look for my ball. And then a little laugh at my consumer variation jargon class.

I love this idea. Carlip collects abandoned grocery lists. Develops an entirely fictional back story for the owner and then with the help of some gifted make-up artists assumes the identity of said shopper.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1905264178
From Publishers WeeklyStarred Review. Ever since she was a teenager, performance artist and author Carlip has been collecting strangers' lost shopping lists and imaging the lives and people behind them. With the help of expertly applied makeup and outlandish costumes, Carlip has turned herself into the men and women that she imagined. From a wife-seeking, Fu Manchu–mustached redneck to an octogenarian stand-up comic, a washed-up lesbian rock star to a 20-something goth boy, Carlip takes inspiration from both the mundane—potatoes—and the disturbing—mousetraps, cheese, mouse. The 26 vivid photographic portraits and accompanying narratives display the author's humor, grace and a brilliantly creative eye. Carlip's alter egos are larger than life and twice as entertaining.

2008-04-22T19:13:00.000-04:00

Okay wow. The school system is failing you. Learn some grammar. Your brain should be lean and mean not fat and bloated.

1. Noun: Person. Place. Or Thing. (e.g.) Megatron, Candy Land, gravity.
2. Verb: Action word. (e.g.) spank, defy, electrocute.
3. Adverb: Modifies verbs. (e.g.) spank happily, defy repeatedly, electrocute abruptly.
4. Adjective: Modifies nouns. (e.g.) slimy Megatron, hairy Candy Land, imaginary gravity.
5. Pronoun: Replace nouns in a sentence. (e.g.) Megatron removed his jeans.
6. Conjunction: Joins parts of a sentence together. Megatron inserted his manhood into the toaster and hoped for the best.
7. Articles. There are only three: a, an, and the.
8. Prepositions: Marks the position or relation of one thing to another thing. (e.g.) There is a tiny pirate hiding inside my hat.
9. Interjections: simple sounds to express a feeling. (e.g.) Wow! Oh! What! Sweet Mary Christmas!

There. Grammar 101. At the very least know the nine. Now try to spot all nine words in this sentence:

Great-Polybius! Phreak615 absolutely loved his enormous rhomboids and the way they blocked all light from the blistering sun.

There’s a girl here at the office that reminds me of her. I think about her all the time. I even make tasks for myself that put me in her vicinity.

But I digress.

This film had a huge impact on me. My older brother actually set up his own pirate station with a transmitter from Radio Shack. He could broadcast up to four even five blocks away. It was rad.

Sure, now everyone and their dog can have a blog or podcast. But that doesn’t mean they should. Speaking out loud should be a privilege not a right. In fact, talking for the sake of talking should be penalized on a sliding scale. Random outburst? Okay, no big deal, everyone slips up from time to time let’s call that a 5 dollar fine. On the other end you have the full out, standing on a soap box, nonsensical diatribe. That’s a kick in the baby maker.

The point is, if you have something real to say. Do it.

I am simply creating the hole for you to fill.

How to hack broadcast television

2008-04-14T19:14:00.000-04:00

So ADAM, BOBBY & HeatVision_and_Jack are wondering how I’m managing these phreaks. Sorry my little Phreaks and Phreakets but you’d need direct access to make it happen. That said; send me your videos, if they’re good I’ll make you famous.

First off, gone are the days of being able to simply “take over” an analogue broadcast frequency and hijack the feed that way - as you can see in my earlier blog here. Everything is digital now. That makes it harder for most, but in fact, easier for me.

Basically, the tech guys here have their thumbs up their asses. New technology plus old tech staff equals wiiiiiiiiiiiide open access.

I have direct access to our digital media server (the source for all outgoing broadcasts). I wired up a custom network cable similar to a RJ-45 cross-over cable and hooked it into one of the spare networking ports. Normally these ports are disabled or at least secured but as I said earlier, this is relatively new and not everyone is up to speed from a security standpoint. Plus, I’m sure they never anticipated me.

Anyways, I ran that cable out to a standard D-link wireless router (works better with Macs than Linkys) and set up a “hidden” wifi network. Now all I need to do is park my car across the street from the building and I can upload any audio or video directly to the server. The actual tricky part is the script that automatically runs an override to the current broadcast stream at pre-set times. Coincidently these times are when I’m out of the office.

Now I can upload and inject video snippets into the main broadcast feed from my wireless laptop pretty much when ever I’m feeling a little saucy. At least for now. I’m giving this whole thing a week tops before my little work around gets discovered.

Anyway, without direct access to the server there’s no way anyone could ever hope to gain access. So sorry. But again, like I said I’ll load your stuff in if you send it to me.

Get your Phreak on!

I hate people that use emoticons and internet slang. Where did we get the idea that butchering the English language was cool? ROFL? BRB? SFW? Come on. I understand that phone texting necessitated a sparse form of communication because you were paying per character. But with most plans that’s just not the case anymore and it never was an issue on the internet. Emoticons are the scurvy of written word. (That’s right, the pirate disease). If you can’t write a sentence that communicates effectively without a ;) a :( or a :0 then I say that’s it were done. We mine as well pack it up now as a generation.

I guess what I’m trying to say is people that use emoticons in their writing should have their nose rubbed in it. And by “It” I of course mean my ass.

Cheers;)

But somewhere along the line, maybe between fuzzy dice and getting poked 50-goddamn-times-a-day you’ve lost your magic.
