Gah.
I really need a basement.

I love forgetting about memes. I remember hearing that Cameron Crowe originally wanted to call “Almost Famous” by a much more fitting name: “Untitled.” It would have had a different cut, and before it was released in theatres, he had already announced that he would release “Untitled” on DVD. Complete with audio commentary from his mother.
The point is, I completely forgot about that. I first heard about that two years ago; this Tuesday it is being released. Insert happy suprise here.
I’ve also tried to forget about all the Am-I-All-Your-Ikissyou!-or-Not-Are-Belong-To-Us Memes of the Internet. It’s worked, somewhat. But I also forgot about IT.
So is it revolutionary? Will it really change transportation as we know it? Why the fuck haven’t we invented flying cars yet?! Must I really release my pocket monolith and send us one step forward on the evolutionary scale? Hello McFlyyy.
I still haven’t seen video of this “Ginger” yet. That’s an exclusive that Good Morning America paid mad cash for. Maybe when I see it moving I’ll be blown away. I hope so. The excitement of a new, life-changing invention is half the fun. What a fun little meme it’s been.
But I still want a hoverboard.
George Harrison died yesterday. I’ve never been an enormous Beatles fan, but I have an appriciation for the quality of their music and its influence. As a side note, George Harrison wrote my favorite Beatles song, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” This was unfortunate but inevitable.
Scott Sinclair finally has a site. He’s probably most notable for his artwork on Hot Water Music covers. The site is a little poorly laid out, but fuck it, he’s an artist.
Makes me want to go dust off a copy of Zterm or something. ATtention, Dumb Thing!
– NO CARRIER –
Happy thanksgiving.
Confused by the re-format, but damn is this post fucking great. And check out that huge joint. Jeebus.
Cam is boasting that he’s still #1, and I’ve found that I’m number 32. Not bad.
The real news though is that Alternate.org is number 5. Yipty-frickin-do.
If you thought the Requiem for a Dream, Traffic, or Memento sites were awesome, check out Donnie Darko.
Insanely huge and definitely a lot of work went into it. Pay attention.. you might miss something. Also, I noticed that the little faux popup windows are OS-specific.. they detect which platform you’re on and give you the right faux widgets in the Flash by default. Definitely slick and almost totally transparent to the user.
