Dave’s Lounge has really been calming my racing mind down lately. Awesome show. Trip-Hop, Chillout, Downtempo goodness. Stop by sometime and check it out.
If anyone wants Maine Roller Derby tickets in advance for a couple bucks cheaper (and no waiting in line at the door), please let me know.
I’m so excited! The best site and community in Bittorrent is back.
Deimos has left and another administrator has taken his place/been appointed. Let’s hope the site stays up. I guess it will be up and down for a brief time, while folks there work out some kinks. It’s been a while since Demonoid closed down, I read a while back about rumors that the site would be back. Yesterday’s surprise topped my Friday off nicely.
This site has been my favorite by far since I started Bittorrent a few years back. There is no where better for music and books/comics that I have found, and since they closed I have looked extensively. The community there is awesome. Any requests I’ve ever had were upped within a few days or I was guided by lots of friendly folks to where I could find what I’m looking for. The forums aren’t operational there yet, but when they are, I’m emajik, I’ll be around.
That is all.
Ok, so I’m super psyched that this game is coming out. I’m NOT so excited about the fact that I spent the past hour writing a blog about it and it somehow got lost while editing.. I’m so pissed right now. Anyway go and read the fantastic write up that PSP Fanboy wrote and you’ll get the idea… (more…)

A loose confederation of online troublemakers who call themselves Anonymous have declared war on the Church of Scientology by flooding its servers with fake data requests, describing the attacks as punishment for the Church’s alleged abuse of copyright laws and alleged brainwashing of its members…

Upon watching Wedding Crashers again last night, I was reminded of the old Visine Mickey trick. I’d never heard of such a thing until a CSI episode. The idea interested me, not enough to google it and find out a little more I suppose until today. It turns out that this (tetrahydrozoline hcl) is a pretty badass poison to slip someone. It can cause coma or even respiratory arrest in worst cases. Not a very funny joke, and way too mean a revenge even for my taste. Check out the SNOPES entry about it.
Call Google 411 (1-800-GOOG411) and get connected to whatever business your looking for – free! I worked for a cell phone company for nearly 2 years and believe me folks this is huge. 411 calls cost $1.50/ea or more through most service providers. So type it into your phonebook now and thank me later. That is all.
More Bittorrent news. OiNK has been shut down. I never even used this site personally but I use many just like it. It will be interesting to see what develops from this. Go to Torrentfreak for the best updated info if this interests/concerns you.
News, Published online on 23 Oct 2007 Think of the industry crackdown on music piracy as Prohibition and OiNK as one of the world’s most notorious speakeasies. With over 180,000 users across the globe, this little piggy routinely went to the black market to leak major albums before their official release dates. To be sure, it wasn’t a Napster-sized phenomenon. But OiNK’s membership roster included a great number of bloggers and other musical opinion-shapers. So the blogosphere basically had a collective seizure this morning when the following message appeared on the OiNK homepage:
“This site has been closed as a result of a criminal investigation by IFPI, BPI, Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of the Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into suspected illegal music distribution.
A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site’s users”
Ahhhh! The fuzz!
“Time to buy a new hard drive and install everything and dump the old one, in case you get subpoena’d. Or buy copies of your entire library,” advised user Clamps in response to Stereogum’s article on the crackdown.
But slow down a minute… just who in the world are those acronyms behind the investigation? Here’s a little primer on the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry), an organization sworn to uphold the world’s sacred anti-piracy laws. Together with the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), IFPI had been investigating OiNK for the past two years.
Today, British and Dutch police raided the home of a 24-year-old man in Middlesbrough, England, who is allegedly the site’s admin. Interpol (which coordinated the sting) also seized the website’s servers in Amsterdam. As we’ve come to expect from them, the folks at The Daily Swam are all over this story, posting plenty of updates and providing a link to BBC-shot video of the actual raid…
Here’s an email that was circulating at work that I figured I’d post here. It’s a really clever scam so don’t be fooled. Don’t trust any call regarding your credit card information unless you placed the call to the number on the back of your card!
THE SCAM:
The Holiday Season is just a little bit down the road and the bad guys are already trying to get free stuff by using your credit. I just received this so thought I’d forewarn you and forward it on.
New Credit Card Scam Snopes.com says this is true. http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcard.asp
This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want.
Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself. (more…)
