Hello, and welcome to my homepage. My name is Ulrich Haarbürste and I like to write stories about Roy Orbison being wrapped up in cling-film. If you have written any stories about Roy being completely wrapped in clingfilm please send them to me and I may put them up on the site. If you have a site with stories about other pop stars being wrapped in cling-film mail me and we can exchange links.
One of my favorite classic internets.
This was something a friend of mine made to tease me about a job I was doing at the time. I was quite literally doing nothing but setting up Flash games for translation. It was pretty mind-numbing.
The 10-second clip of a woman singing “Au Clair de la Lune,” taken from a so-called phonautogram, was recently discovered by audio historian David Giovannoni. The recording predates Thomas Edison’s “Mary Had a Little Lamb” — previously credited as the oldest recorded voice — by 17 years.
I wanted to pass this along to all my oldschool homies. There’s a new “gaming network” that has just been launched that allows it’s users to play ‘through’ most social networks, as well as interact with people on other social networks. For example, you can log into Mytopia on Facebook and play chess with someone on Myspace.
Sounds cool, except:

It’s so ironic to me that so many people have tried to recreate something that was so amazing almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. It was so before it’s time it’s not even funny.
At the very least, the map they used is such a complete ripoff, I’m sure they are getting lots of shit for it now. Considering that it’s quite possible the people working on this startup were 2-3 years old when INN was around. What probably happened is the artist for the map just stole that old map and redid it and it got approved by someone who had no idea.
