Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

trapped in the cuckoo’s nest looking for the nexus

It had never occurred to me to look on YouTube for el-p videos, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. This is a nice clip of J and Aesop Rock doing a live bit in a record store.

And — I guess no surprise — the comments are the usual battle of racism vs reality with mediocrity holding sway.

This is also nice: Deep Space 9mm (live)

DreamHost includes flash tools?

DreamHost Flash Tools
What I really care a bit about I think is…

Flash Image Rotator
The Flash Image Rotator enables you to show several photos in sequence with fluid transitions between them. It supports rotation of an RSS/XSPF playlist with JPG/GIF/PNG images, a wide range of flashvars (settings) for tweaking both behavior and appearance and an extensive, documented javascript/actionscript API.

You’ll need to create a XML playlist (here’s the one for our slideshow above) for any images that you wish to use, but it’s really not that hard and the comprehensive documentation in our wiki will have you up and running in no time!

Hey NASA - Is there life on Mars?

NASA - NASA Images Suggest Water Still Flows in Brief Spurts on Mars

NASA photographs have revealed bright new deposits seen in two gullies on Mars that suggest water carried sediment through them sometime during the past seven years.”These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars,” said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, Washington.

Hot PERL One Liners

PERL One Liners

Just enough PERL to do almost anything. Except help me debug this script:

$random_file = "random_image.dat"; # contains a list of image urls, just a plain text file

open (FILE, $random_file);

@LINES=; close(FILE);

srand;

print "Location: [int rand(@LINES)]";

I thought I understood this to be opening the file of image urls, and then [int rand(@LINES)] picked one line to print out as a Location http header. Well, I found this page while I was googling my problem, and thought it looked like it was worth saving, since PERL is an eternal mystery to me.
