Pinging stuff I care about.
I walked into It’s a Grind on the Beltline today, and saw a guy with an iBook SE Graphite edition, just like I owned a year or so ago. I was filled with nostalgia and swooped in and babbled about what a cool machine it was, in all ways except the small screen, and how I really liked the one I had, yadda yadda. He didn’t seem to mind.
I couldn’t help myself. For a moment I was Friendly Mac Guy.
Taste for the Web: if you’ve ever read anything by web bubble bazillionaire and self-described genius überhacker/painter Paul Graham, you will appreciate “Taste for the Web,” which was written by Graham or a reasonable facsimile thereof. If not, well, you won’t, so don’t bother.
Via RedHanded.
Subtraction: Long and Drawn Out: you don’t doodle on the internet.
This is one reason I would love a tablet-PC-like Mac. Wacom pad == not the same thing.
Zeropaid.com – Kazaa Logging all user downloads
Kazaa tracking, logging, spying on users, then denying it all, secret documents reveal. In other news, sky blue, Pope Catholic, bears shit in woods.
Shocked users learn not to trust corporations trying to turn filesharing into a profitmaking venture, and flee to truly anonymous, non-corporate, decentralized networks like MUTE, GNUNet, Freenet Project.
No, not really. People never seem to learn.

A little Quicktime music video levity for y’all. Dance Commander by Electric Six, video by the unstoppable Ruben Fleischer.
Honestly great tune, and a video that will sear itself into your retinas and never leave.
Speaking of which, I can not stop watching Paperback Believer, a video/music Beatles/Monkees mashup (via boingboing.) I don’t know what it is but I keep going back to it like the Biblical dog to his vomit.
