More yoyo badassery
Though not as cool as two yoyos at once, freehand yoyo ("a weight (typically a casino die or small ball) is attached to the end of the yo-yo string that would otherwise be attached to the finger.")is pretty badass
"Tyler Severance nails the freehand (5A) world yoyo champion champion title with a technically challenge and exciting counterweight freestyle."

Telecom Immunity Update
Harry Reid has announced that he will be moving the Senate Intelligence Committee's version of the FISA bill to the floor of the Senate. This bill contains provisions for immunity for telecommunications companies that aided the government in warrantless surveillance. Reid has acted in this manner despite a hold placed on the bill by Senator Chris Dodd - a somewhat unprecedented move.
Fuck Harry Reid.

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.

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2 a: something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing b: a style or mode of personal or creative expression that is absurdly exaggerated and often fuses elements of high and popular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?

The Hedonistic Imperative
This manifesto outlines a strategy to eradicate suffering in all sentient life. The abolitionist project is ambitious, implausible, but technically feasible. It is defended here on ethical utilitarian grounds. Genetic engineering and nanotechnology allow Homo sapiens to discard the legacy-wetware of our evolutionary past. Our post-human successors will rewrite the vertebrate genome, redesign the global ecosystem, and abolish suffering throughout the living world.
Why does suffering exist? The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved only because they served the inclusive fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. Their ugliness can be replaced by a new motivational system based on gradients of well-being. Life-long happiness of an intensity now physiologically unimaginable can become the heritable norm of mental health. A sketch is offered of when, and why, this major evolutionary transition in the history of life is likely to occur. Possible objections, both practical and moral, are raised and then rebutted.
Contemporary images of opiate-addled junkies, and the lever-pressing frenzies of intra-cranially self-stimulating rats, are deceptive. Such stereotypes stigmatise, and falsely discredit, the only remedy for the world's horrors and everyday discontents that is biologically realistic. For it is misleading to contrast social and intellectual development with perpetual happiness. There need be no such trade-off. Thus states of "dopamine-overdrive" can actually enhance exploratory and goal-directed activity. Hyper-dopaminergic states can also increase the range and diversity of actions an organism finds rewarding. Our descendants may live in a civilisation of serenely well-motivated "high-achievers", animated by gradients of bliss. Their productivity may far eclipse our own.
Two hundred years ago, before the development of potent synthetic pain-killers or surgical anaesthetics, the notion that "physical" pain could be banished from most people's lives would have seemed no less bizarre. Most of us in the developed world now take its daily absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as "mental" pain, too, could one day be superseded is equally counter-intuitive. The technical option of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of political policy and ethical choice.
From the link, I've read the intro and the first chapter.
I don't even know what to say at this point.
Jon, if you get a chance, tear this apart.

Virtual Desktop
"Yod'm 3D provides four virtual desktops for your PC, all of them contained in a spinning 3D cube.
Virtual desktops are great for cutting down on window clutter and improving PC productivity.
Yod'm keeps it simple, giving you four virtual desktops on a rotating "cube." Just press Ctrl-Shift and the left or right arrow key to cycle between them. (You can assign different activation-key combinations, which is good: I need Ctrl-Shift for Word.) You can also hold down the activation keys and drag your mouse left or right, which provides a better rotating-cube-in-space effect. If you want to jump directly to an open application in any desktop, you can click the Yod'm icon in the System Tray and select the app."

Thank God: Looks like they'll tour after all.
An excerpt from an interview with Jonny Greenwood:
Have you been trying to reduce your use of air travel because of carbon emissions?
Yeah, that’s basically why. It’s difficult because we want to travel and tour and do musical things and we’re just looking at ways of doing it without going to the other extreme. It’d be crazy to not tour for that reason but it’d also be crazy to tour in too greedy a way. So we’re just working on the balance for it. And I can’t really justify going to New York just for my own sort of thing.
Are you working out plans to tour in America at this point?
We’re talking about touring somewhere in the world next year. Now that the album’s out that’s what we’re talking about. I hope you’ll get to see some good shows.

Review: In Rainbows
"Quite how it all ranks alongside other Radiohead albums – well, let’s be honest. It’s far too early to tell. In time, the excitement of waiting for a new release by one of your favourite bands to land in your inbox will separate from the role it will go on to play in your life.
For what it’s worth, In Rainbows was sent to me at 6.30am. Three hours later, this insidious index of sonic surprises is stacking up in my mind, like planes waiting to land. The trick, I guess, is to give your fans what they didn’t know they wanted. Radiohead, old hands at this, have been doing it for over a decade now. With In Rainbows, they appear to have done it again."

Nullification
In light of recent events, here is some information on the legal practice of jury nullification.
Thank you: Jon at 5:12 PM 2 comments
Non sequitur in so many ways.
Or maybe not. But I sure as shit can't see the relation between the question and the statement. Does anyone know what this means?

For all the brothers
And some sisters too, if you know what I'm sayin'!! Hayyyyy-oh! Trevor "Long Black Train" Michael's bachelor party will take place on Wednesday, October 31. That's right, Halloween bitches!! I expect face paint, debauchery of the worst kind, and some low-key renditions of Oklahoma performed in Farsi. Jon, I know this sound like a regular weekend for you, but you are strongly encouraged to attend.

Blog tweaking
Hey everyone. I am trying to tweak this thing a bit. I've added that sweet header image. Let me know if your settings are such that it doesn't view properly. I think that I might try to expand the width of the posting column. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

The American War: the U.S. in Vietnam
The Pinky Show examines the causes of the war in Vietnam. I recently showed this to my class, and I think that it opened a few eyes. Well researched, with a runtime of about 40 minutes.
