if this was an individual rather than google - would it be illegal?
i guess so - i guess it is like listening in on cell phones....
hmmm

compare these moments on letterman

andy kaufman confession

david letterman confession

in some sense they are both like the rodney dangerfield sitcom in natural born killers - people confused about when they should laugh....

futureshop makes all its money from LYING to customers.
the salesman lied to someone i was with today just as below.
http://futureshopsucks.com/2010/01/future-shop-wants-to-charge-100-to-install-windows/he implied there is no OS on the machines and that the $100 charge is for purchasing and installation.
i is why i personally try to shop at tigerdirect

i am really curious about what is going on with the major mistakes i make when writing emails. ie. what part of my "automatic pilot" is screwing up so badly. i do not make the same mistakes when writing something by hand - and the email mistakes are mostly, truly heinous. e.g. i will write "by" instead of "pie". such a broken telephone between different centres of my brain is perplexing - and i want to read up on what type of neurological disorders correspond to such mistakes.
is france taking cues from hérouxville

isn't unsupervised machine learning essentially trying to mimic evolution (or more precisely natural selection of some sorts)?

i know people raved about invictus. i was underwhelmed. sorry clint. maybe my expectations were too high having watched most of that world cup live and seen the final many times. beyond the expected hollywood clichés - i found it REALLY didn't do the rugby justice. i don't understand how movies can make american football look more exciting and rugby look less so. especially the football style interjections of scuffles. it also really didn't do lomu justice - maybe he wasn't the uncanny force he was in the rest of the matches...but he wasn't as lame as they make him. at least it makes me want to watch that final again 15 years later. i can verify if my claim about lomu is true. still - that world cup was an excellent one.

$37 and 3 demerit points for crossing a red light on a bixi (a couple of days ago). my only other "moving" violation (with demerit points as well) in 25 years of driving was for not wearing a seat belt in the BACK seat many years ago.
some day i will actually get a ticket while driving a car....

good interview with ravi shankar

I don't understand why the ghosts are not totally pissed that the ghost whisperer always changes what they say when speaking to their families.
"Tell him he gave me my freedom"
"She says she is happy now"
"That's not what I said"
"She says she never wanted to be a dancer"
"You're not even trying"
"Do you see the light?"
"I'll show you a $%^&^* light"

the farside cartoon is true. the oldest living tree and hence the oldest living organism was cut down to inspect its age rings. 4900 - 5100 years old. the guy who did it.

after seeing this last night i am starting to think socalled is the most brilliant (and least pretentious) artist in montreal these days

5.29.2010

want to make it into a recording device and tuner - so i will have to solder together my own adaptor

5.19.2010

went to see the buzzcocks last night - excellent show. as mike pointed out with a smile - once again they are "relevant". the punk rock kids were emphatic in their texting and cell-phone picture taking. i noticed one girl even had a punk blackberry (it had a shatterred screen)

ok go nicking bob marley element's from mr. brown? that's what i thought the first time i heard the song and i guess i am not alone
anyways - all the interviews with the lead singer about the state of the recording label model are very interesting

heard in this context - the theme from taxi sounds like a lyle mayes composition - with the guitarist owing a bit to pat metheny hisself.

mj talking about why pigeons bob their heads while walking (on quirks and quarks)
as always - amazing ability to explain things understandably (and with humour)

when bus fare was 8 cents you knew it was going to be a good week when donny and marie switched roles. he became a little bit country and she became a little bit rock'n roll - and wore black leather.
