Thursday, September 18th, 2008Obama says in Chicago.
Friday, January 18th, 2008Right, so I think it’s important to note that no other candidate talks about political and government reform. Meanwhile, this one guy is tired of the same old shit. From here:
Barack may be inspiring, and we may like his ideas, but he hasn’t been in Washington long enough. He hasn’t been stewed and seasoned long enough. We haven’t boiled all the hope out of him.
There’s a lot of connections being made here. It’s seeming less like impractical idealism and more like urgent reality by the day.
The Internet Effect: Pizza Tracker.
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008Well, it finally happened. I’ve been waiting for this since I became lazy and stupid enough to order pizza online seven or eight years ago:

What’s next? When will Pizza Hut have one live? When will Papa John’s go back to making the awesome pizza they made in what is soon becoming the distant past? When will the first advertisements outside of the normal advertisements come? When will it start having real-time to-the-minute predictions?
Which is more amazing: the fact that I know the pizza is being put into a box right this second, or the fact that I can talk about it online, with an image, and have forgotten about it by the time the pizza arrives?
Waffle recipes and oink.cd…
Saturday, October 27th, 2007The domain oink.cd is now back in the hands of its owner (it had been hijacked earlier this week by the super-riaa and vandalized), and while the tracker is gone, something interesting is in its place.
What’s going on here? The oink site now links to a google search most likely intended to help you find this page, which links to a huge variety of torrent sites. I’m ok with the terminology “hydra” when applied to torrents.
He even changed the secret shady-as-hell note page, which made the ominous-yet-vaguely written propaganda threat page seem fake. Before it was changed, it was a note from the super-riaa (IFPI + BPI) to the police saying thanks for the help, and had the exact text for the threatening front page in its entirety. How official does that sound? Hopefully I won’t be picked up for plagiarizing this text, which was on the front page after being taken from here:
Pedro,Many thanks for your assistance with this. Please find attached two logos for IFPI & BPI together with text to be displayed on a new homepage on the ‘Oink’ website. Can the logos be added to the page:
This site has been closed as a result of a criminal investigation by IFPI, BPI, Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of the Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into suspected illegal music distribution.
A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site’s users
Many thanks

The site was hijacked, literally. This organization had no authority to access or use the domain. Essentially, they pulled exactly the same trick that hacker kids do to sites they vandalize. Hijacking website is generally considered illegal.
This story just gets more weird and twisted as the days pass, but it seems like more sources are becoming respectable in reference to the whole mess.
Here is the best waffle recipe ever (yes, metric; fuck off):
- 50g Egg Yolks
- 15g Sucrose
- 1g Sea Salt
- ½ Vanilla Bean
- 125g Sifted Cake Flour
- 2.5g Baking Powder
- 50g Whole Milk
- 200g Heavy Cream
- 50g Butter (82% fat)
- 10g Dark Rum
- 1 pinch Cream of Tartar
- 45g Egg Whites
Mix wet crap and dry crap together, let it sit for a half hour, then cook in an iron or whatever. Best waffles ever. Seriously.
