So then there's this...
It's cool but strange, and I mean strange in the, "huh? what the fuck?" sense.
This blog needs more half-naked Argentine broads.
This is how I end up getting sucked in: Now with 50% more Hetero!

Cool Fractal Documentary
This is a very interesting video with great visuals and backing music by David Gilmour himself. The whole time I watched, I thought someone was just mocking the sound, but at the end they give credit to him. Wail on math nerds.

Telecom Immunity Update
From the Dodd campaign (7:00 EDT):
1. Within the last hour, the Senate Judiciary Committee just reported out a FISA bill that DOES NOT include retroactive immunity for the telecom companies that helped the Bush Administration spy on Americans.
2. This means the Judiciary bill moves to the full Senate WITHOUT the dangerous language included.
3. Retroactive immunity will, however, surely be introduced as an amendment to the FISA bill.
4. If needed Senator Dodd will filibuster any amendment seeking to add retroactive immunity to the underlying bill. By filibustering, he will force the opposition to find 60 votes to pass the provision.
we were having a discussion about the 57
I cannot find the article i made reference to earlier but here is a version that has two different possibilities.

I'm posting this for sake of continued expression of my Radiohead obsession; and hopefully, indulging yours.
Uncovering the site of an ancient zombie outbreak
I just watched 28 Weeks Later, so this is appropriate, I think.

Oh, yeah, that's what it is...
So we were talking the other day, or, err, a couple weeks ago, about the definition of "campy," 'member?
Well, here's what Merriam Webster had to say:
camp
One entry found.
camp[3,noun]
Main Entry: 3camp
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: circa 1909
1: exaggerated effeminate mannerisms exhibited especially by homosexuals
2 a: something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing b: a style or mode of personal or creative expression that is absurdly exaggerated and often fuses elements of high and popular culture [a movie that celebrates camp]
I dunno about you guys, but I wasn't diggin' it - ol' M&W just didn't capture what I thought campiness was. Maybe it's 'cause the definition was too formal - I dunno. So then, enter Urban Dictionary:
1. campy 119 up, 4 down
“Camp” n. or “Campy” adj. refers to intentionally exaggerated thematic or genre elements, especially in television and motion picture mediums. “Camp” style willfully over-emphasizes certain elements of the genre or theme, creating an almost self-satirical milieu. Some of the most popular examples include the James Bond films (exaggeration of espionage activities) and the original Batman series starring Adam West.
Because it strives for satire, intentional camp is likely to have a sophisticated cult following, consisting of the people who "get it." See, for example, the remarks of Mystery Science Theater's Joel Hodgson: "The right people will get it!"
I hated the TV show Alias until I realized how campy it was! Now I think it's great!
There are a couple other definitions in the link for this post, but in my opinion they just restate the first. I'm going with a well done, Urban Dictionary. Any additions/corrections?
