The truth comes out

Having tried to shield my eyes from her for years, I have finally seen Tila Tequila, and realize that I have known her for year.



Tila Tequila is, in reality, none other than Yoshi from Super Mario Bros The Movie!

Boston doesn't quite get it

Author: Capt. Hindsight / Labels: , , ,

Awhile ago, Boston police arrested artist Shepard Fairey for some outstanding graffiti charges or something. At the same time, the city of Boston allowed Fairey to hang a giant picture in Government Center. For those of you who don't know, that's our city hall. So, Boston hung a piece by arguably the most famous propaganda artist in the world on their government building. I love Fairey's work, but I don't think it was quite the right place to put it. If anything, it takes away from his message. I'm not usually one to complain about people selling out (because I'm busy complaining about other things), but this is borderline shark jumpage. Whatev, his stuff is still awesome and this doesn't ruin any of his older stuff.


Re: Safari 4

So apparently Apple released Safari 4 to little fanfare. And for good reason. Apple pretty much took all the features you loved about Safari that separated it from other browsers, such as the blue loading bar, and removed it. And as far as I can tell, you can't change it.

At least they did add some new feature, such as the ability to view the websites you already now about through an annoying, slow-loading Top Sites page. And they made a visible history list, which will surely make for some interesting, porn searching moments.
Maybe it will take some time to get used to, but this new update kinda irks me. I'm pretty satisfied with the way I've been surfing the internet for the last 13 years or so, and I don't think it needs much changing. If anything, make it more customizable, so we, the users, can decide what changes we want. Also, there should be a hamster instead of a cursor.

Re: The Oscars

Meh.


Hugh Jackman was surprisingly good for the few minutes he was on.  The Wall-E and Pineapple Express bits were good too.  The rest- not so much.  I didn't see it, put apparently Slumdog was good, but enough is enough.  Still, I would have preferred some surprises.  Perhaps Chronicles of Riddick could have gotten a few Oscars.  I know it isn't the most recent movie, but it was pretty sweet.  Besides, it would have made the show exciting.  No one would have seen it coming.  Besides me.  But even then, I'd be pretty shocked, as the Academy tends to snub action films that suck.  They would have given it to Traffic again.
Also, how did The Fall not even get nominated for anything?  Everyone I know who has seen it loved the visuals at least.   It should have definitely gotten art direction and costume design.  
Period pieces should not even be nominated, by the way.  Unless that period is the future.  Admittedly, I never saw The Duchess, so maybe it takes place in some neoclassical  society where boring stories are considered popular.  Last I checked (I haven't checked in a while, though), this is 1998, not some crazy future.
