Howdy, Howdy

Hello, all! I know, I know... I haven't posted forever. Well, since Terezita and I have gotten married (and even for a little while before) I've been living in a studio in Garden Grove. This place does not have an internet connection (or even a open wifi signal) so I'm outa luck. Right now, I'm at a Starbucks on my break, so I thought I'd post a quickie to tell you that my posts here will be sporadic at best and non-existant most likely. I will be posting more as soon as we move back to Irvine (which is in the plans). Our best to all of youse. See y'all later!

The Credit Card Prank

The Credit Card Prank

Ever notice how no one ever checks your signature on those credit card receipts? Well, this guy decided to test it by signing his receipts in progressively crazier ways until someone noticed. He got away with "Zeus", a checkerboard, and even a stick figure. Go ahead and read; it's a fun story.

I know I said I wasn't going to post another video,

but this is hilarious.

The Matrix XP

I've been noticing that my blog has been loading a little slow,

so I'll just link to this video:

Powers of Ten

This is an ancient (from the 70's or so) science video zooming out by powers of ten to the outer reaches of our universe then in to quarks in protons. It's very cool and well worth the jump.

Josh's Wedding

Our good friends Josh and Courtnie were married last weekend. They got married on a yacht that departed from Newport. It was beautiful! A fun time was had by all. We also got to meet our friend Robert's new girlfriend. She was very nice and friendly. It was nice to meet her. They promised to come down some time and visit us. Here's a picture of the newlyweds cutting their cake. Notice their cake. It was made to look very... fantasy. It has crooked angles and everything. It was really a work of art.

From the bottom of our hearts, we wish them the best of luck and the happiest of lives in their future.

Saw this on Digg. This is awesome! AWESOME! This is a trailer for a new Star Wars game coming out on the next-gen systems (xbox 360, PS3). With force powers like these, who needs the light side?

"Flash: What is your religioin, if any? USA Religion Survey Shows Increase in 'None'."

This is a pretty cool graph that shows what states have what religions. Try clicking on Utah. Crazy Mormons. Always good for a laugh.

This is a demo of a new "window manager" (that's the thing that handles how your windows and desktop look on your computer) for Linux called XGL. It is beautiful. Even if you guys can't appreciate it fully, maybe it will make you think twice about your boring Windows XP window manager. Viva el Linux!

Catholic High School Sues Over Wikipedia Posting

This is crazy. A school in Nebraska is suing (SP?) over what someone wrote in a Wikipedia article. Aparently, a disenfranchised student wrote "mean-spirited" comment about the school in the article. Now the school has contacted their ISP and are trying to get the names of the kid. Whatever happened to free-speech? What ever happened to the "edit this page" button in Wikipedia? Wouldn't it make more sense just to edit out the content?

This is a music video made in the 90's encouraging kids not to pirate their favorite games from school. You gotta love the mix of rap and the interviews with the programmers. Vintage.

I've been looking for this for a while. This is the classic 1990's anti-piracy music(?) video made by the software publishers: Don't Copy That Floppy! Watch it, love it. It is awesome.

Pseudo-Anarchy and America

I watched V for Vendetta again today. Once again, I must say, it is a wonderful movie. They did a wonderful job on it. It is very... recent. I highly recommend it. For those of you who have already seen it, some questions:

>What is the feasibility of a sort of pseudo-anarchy in society today?
>Does/Would anarchy work?
>What is anarchy? Is it simply the complete nonexistence of government, or something more (or less, rather)?
>Can anarchy work within a particular economic framework, such as socialism or capitalism or communism?
>Does anarchy tend toward egalitarianism? Why or why not?

I am particularly interested in Allan's answers, since he is a sort of pseudo-anarchist. Comment away!
