Bush of Ghosts

Very, very cool site for the new remaster of the best album ever, Brian Eno+David Byrne's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Very, very cool of them to offer multitracks for remixing. This album has been sampled many, many times, and they know it, and they like it.

Also, rumors flying around the internet about Eno working with Roxy Music again on their new album. Very, very cool, if true.

S.O.A.P Trailer

I still can't belive this movie got made.

Snakes on a Plane trailer.

*Edit*

Damn, the trailer was pulled. Trust me, it was exactly as stupid and hilarious as you'd think. Rubber snakes, badly rendered CG snakes. SLJ appears once, says his funny line. I doubt there's much more to the full-length film.

Random funny

In the mood for a giggle? Check out the IMDb boards for Snakes on a Plane. As if the very idea of this film isn't hysterical enough, it's also a really, really easy target. Best of the funny taglines: "One of our aircraft is hisssing." I can't even type it without laughing out loud.

This film is going to make a ton of money. Not because it will be good (god, no!), but out of that particular morbid curiosity that compels us all.

Starting in goal...

For your Malmö Redhawks... Kim Martin! First woman to play a game for a professional men's team! On International Women's Day!

Go Kim!

***EDIT***

Looks like she didn't get to play today, because of NCAA rules barring players from professional games. Even for one game, that would have meant a lot to women's hockey, and probably would have helped the NCAA league in a way. Annoying.

Tech support

I worked the phones (and e-mail, mail, and fax) doing tech support for a long time. It's really crappy work, but the experience has served me well in my life since then, as I'm often called upon to help friends, relatives, and the occasional total stranger with their computer problems. Luckily I don't know jack about PCs, so that cuts down my usefulness to less than 10% of the market.

The worst part of it is dealing with someone who just can't handle things going wrong. And the worst part of that is when you have to live with that person.

Long story short, cheap Epson inkjet printers suck. They're meant to be basically disposable, so when they break down, you're up the creek. Costs about twice as much to get a tech to look at it than it would to just replace the piece of crap. I'm getting a little sick of disposable technology.
