Imperial State Power in America

Creepiest stamp ever?

[ Via Virulent Memes, via The Null Device, via Leviathan, via The Homepage of J. Orlin Grabbe. Etc... I enjoy tracing these things back... ]

Scary "Ed McMahon propaganda commercials for the Department of Justice" = here

Scary neighbourhood watch website = here

Scary Citizen Corps website = here

Guh?
Added about 25 links to the sidebar... Might want to look in the graveyard if you want to see all the junk that held my interest for more than 10 seconds today. Most of it is "The History of..." nonsense.

Perhaps soon I'll start up another proper weblog. You know... with links and stuff. Pity that I accidentally deleted Coca-Coma from Blogger. Er, well... It still exists. But there is no one with permission to access the posts, since I accidentally deleted mine. See, I was listed twice on the "team", and thought mistakenly that I could delete just one of me... Um, no. Haven't been able to get anyone at Blogger to help me out. Ho hum. Wouldn't bother me so much if I had archives of it anywhere other that the defunct h14me.yi.org site. The main page of it still exists at http://sdf.lonestar.org/~candice/coca-coma/, though.

Searching for other places on the 'Net that I could possibly have uploaded it, I found all sorts of links to the old site that I had never known about, and ones that I had forgotten about. Pretty interesting. Really. I'm serious... Or not. Check it out anyway. Or not.

Re: The CBDTPA.
Although this is not Canadian bullshit, I'm going to take cover in advance, and move to Sealand.

Allow me to point out once again that copyright law is bullshit.

DNA codes may be protected as 'music'


Reminds me of Musicians copyright phone numbers .

Those musicians should have have kept the rights to their idea, too. 'Cause where are they now? Their website is gone, gone, gone.

Everyone has a digital camera but me :(

Charmie has posted some pictures from Friday.

I'm really not too sure how I managed to miss riot police.
I suppose that being drunk will do that.
I wonder what I was noticing.
i hate artists
i hate artists
the best house song ever written

inspired by last night's visit to NASA, and sean's utter disdain for house music.

guess how long this took to make.

how is it possible that i contain this much snot.

i'm going to hunt down patient zero.

i'm going to...
sneeze violently at them...

i want to sleeeeeep.
HAZMAT!

huzzah
shut up

can't put enough effort into fixing your pages to work on my browser, but can put enough effort into detecting what browser i'm using and redirecting me to a specially designed page to tell me that you can't put enough effort into fixing your pages to work on my browser?

or just being pissy because i figured out that internet explorer stinks and subsequently gave up on it?

hm. hmmm.

Dah!
I can't get to Google.com at all anymore.
Even by leaving off the www.
All I can look at is Google.ca.
I hates it.
The page is so fugly.
Stoopid Google.
If I had wanted to go to Google.ca, do you not think I would hve typed that address into my browser?
Hm? Hm?

In other highly uninteresting and irrelevant search engine news, I can't believe that this nonsense is still getting, on some days, over 20 hits a day. Searching for my name, I found it as the first result. The second was a page linking to it. I'd take it down, but apparently there is a great demand for pointless crap that I wrote in 1997 that's filled with spelling errors and was designed without my having a clue about what the thing looked like, because my only browser at the time I originally made it was Lynx.

Other ridiculousness from the same era: Bebert's Refridgerator Box

Bracewell's argument for the removal of the letters c, q, and x from the english language is sadly, however, no more.

Does this layout look familiar?

Semiunderconstruction
but i give up for now

I guarantee that archives are fucked.

'Cause I've done everything assbackwards.
Not that I'm going to bother re-archiving yet.

Wow, the orange is fugly.

This is the last you'll hear of this.
It's pointless to point out that I've redone the layout.
It's fairly obvious, hm?

Lalala.

"Remember, Booklend is like your local library. Except smaller. And less convenient."

Erm... so why bother? Hm.

Fuck all. More blank media tariff bullshit is being pulled on Canadians. And I wasn't even done ranting about the last time I heard about the levy.

Blah blah blah, but I've no time to rant now. Read and rant for yourselves:

Copyright Board Canada
Canadian Private Copying Collective
Information on the Blank Media Levy (Sycorp) (PETITION IS BACK)

etc. etc. etc.

Haven't read much of this yet. I'll save getting pissed off for later...
I'm not sure what the point of this site that keeps popping up on the daypop top 40 because of it's odd flash movies for some unidentifiable product called "hi-ho", as far as i can gather... or perhaps it's some sort of slogan. i'll probably never know...

but the site is full of other entertaining goodies. for instance... a series of realplayer videos titled "i love english"... a reverse version of the learn japanese programs they used to show really late at night on satellite that entertained me so. i recommend "giving someone a hard time".

horrible...

Notice to anyone who cares: my gto.net e-mail address is down, and perhaps gone (my dad was planning to switch ISPs).

For now you can send e-mail to c2green at ryerson dot ca.

If you sent me anything in the last day or so (ha! unlikely!) you should probably resend it.

I will be moving to my own domain in the next few days, so both my URL and e-mail address will be changing again very shortly.

Alright, children. You really must stop playing with the fire alarm. That red handle is to be pulled in the case of an emergency only, thank you very much.

I'd like to have some hearing left in years to come. Goddamn! I'm beginning to get slightly annoyed.

How does this not wake Sean...
???
Fuck all.
I sleep.

[ Flounder ]
For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied... and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained... you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust no-body... until they can prove themselves to you.

Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted. You are becoming suspicious of everybody and consequently you now feel that you are unable to trust anybody.. Unfortunately it would appear that you are curbing your natural enthusiasm and imaginative nature... perhaps this is because you are fearful that you may become over enthused and find that you could possibly be carried away by wishful thinking... You are keeping your distance to see whether attitudes towards you are sincere - but this watchfulness could easily develop into suspicion and distrust.

You really would like to be completely uninhibited... to let your hair down.. but you are held back by a sense of logic since you realise that by simple stupidity you could lose everything... whatever that may be...

Yawn.

Candice start essay now.
Or sleep.

Hm.
Sleep.
If I was on a bicycle, I'd be out the back door by now.

mmm... antifreeze.
Well, of course I've seen the Jack Chick website. Not so much anymore, but I used to be the sort of person to whom a higher than average number or tracts would be offered. Something about the way I dressed making me appear to be prime Satan bait or something... I used to have a tract collection, I wish I knew what happened to it... I guess that walking past the Eaton Centre every now and then would help me get that back together again.

Better than the real thing is the Jack T. Chick Parody Archive. Haven't visted that site in awhiles.... Ahhh.... beauty.

Took Sean to class today.
Pretentious arty bullshit, apparently it is.
I have no comment.
I should also add to that last post.
It's not even 11.
I'm still drinking.
Out of a Lord of the Rings Frodo cup.
And skipping class.

Oh, I so rule.
Reconsidering a previous entry...

drinking out of a Lord of the Rings collectors cup (Frodo style)... puts us past the loser mark.

Fixed the webpage for Netscape.
Since it's the only thing I'm using anymore.
Lalala.
whocares.

Friday, March 01, 2002

Sean and I have now downloaded to my computer every episode of The Family Guy that has ever been shown on television.

Do you realize how cool this makes us?

Of course, I seem to be having some troubles with the video codecs on my computer since I've reformatted.

The media player I usually use plays them upsidedown and backwards. And with no audio.

Gah.
