Edit: Then I get an email from my bank saying ZOMG PLEASE CALL ME AND PLAY 20 QUESTIONS TO SEE IF YOU’RE REAL. I’m glad they do this.

Evilzug - Encyclopedia Dramatica

Evilzug is like the George Costanza of the internets in that they both did something great at least 100 years ago but have since failed to produce any lulz whatsoever in anything they do. Evilzug has slowly descended over the years from the creator of one of the greatest flash videos ever made before that medium was taken over by furfags and otaku basement dwellers to actually creating and working for neopets, which is the internets equivalent of lounge singing.

Holy cow. Stung a bit at first, but it’s all basically true. I WAS FAMOUS ON THE INTERNET AT ONE POINT. If there was an internet convention, I’d be sitting with the equivalent of the old pro wrestlers at conventions who haven’t worked in 10 years and selling my autographs for 20$. I’m flattered that someone has been keeping track of me for as long as this has been, probably 8 or so years now?

Feel free to add and enhance ^_^

What’s Wired This Month - Consumerist

In the wake of made-in-China recalls, the subprime mortgage meltdown, and air travel mayhem, it’s comforting to know that advocate blogs are on your side. Want to buy discount first-class airline tickets? Need to get testy with a Baby Bell executive? This Gawker Media site is a must-read for any pissed-off consumer looking for resolution (or, let’s face it: revenge).

Grats to Megh, lookin’ all Hawt and in Wired Magazine. She made it before I did, I’m jealous. =/

Amazon.com: Rio PMP 300 MP3 Player: Electronics

Storytime.

Back when I was a young warthog in college-school, I saved my pennies to buy what would be the first ever portable MP3 player, the Diamond Rio 300. THIRTY TWO MEGABITES OF MP3 POWER. That’s like BARELY a CD album nowadays but at the time it was amazing. Twelve+hours on two AA batteries, no skipping. It’s the stuff of legend. LOOK AT THIS BADBOY.

DIAMOND RIO 300

Remember, this was also heavily in the throes of the MP3 downloading boom. Our campus was one of the ledgendary few that weren’t blocking P2P programs like Napster, even though our bandwidth was getting raped. One of my roommates and I even ran the first show on the casual college radio station to use MP3s only. You could call into the show (or instant message) and we could even play songs from your computer if you shared them. Kinda awesome.

So I had this crazy idea. We were going snowboard that year. I had just set up the MP3 player. I also had a pair of battery-powered speakers, and a backpack I wasn’t using. I figured hey, let’s listen to some damn tunes while we snowboard.
I filled the MP3 player with dozens of MP3s encoded at the lowest quality possible, we were able to fit hours and hours of songs onto the player. All good stuff like TV show themes (A-Team, Hawaii Five-O,) movie themes like Highway to the Danger Zone, or I’m Alright (Kenny Loggins FTW!) Also some of the good stuff at the time like Prodigy, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, and my favorite of favorites, Fatboy Slim. You press play, pop the mp3 player into two socks to soften any falls, and then loosely into a plastic bag, in case it’s soggy. Speakers got fresh batteries, and also had a power switch that basically turned them on and off, into quiet or loud levels. The speakers were pretty loud.

We ended up fighting over who got to wear the backpack down the mountain.

Get this, they are still selling this bad boy on Amazon for 130$? Amazon.com: Rio PMP 300 MP3 Player: Electronics THIRTY TWO MEGABYTES OF SPACE. I might just buy it just because.
