This is seriously a random 5am rant, but I just couldn’t help it. As if freedom.istheshit.net wasn’t funny and just a bit ironic on it’s own I found a very disturbing video (video should auto-play below) on Google’s latest step-child, YouTube. (If you don’t know what YouTube is, check your calendar…it’s 2006, are you still using Checks too?) Now, onto the video:

Totally awesome, huh? I’m so excited about the future—aren’t you?!? BTW, if you’re mystified by the meaning and purpose of all that you might find enlightenment from the ABCNews.com article about the situation.

Green Day & U2 have teamed up for an interesting song to benefit New Orleans. I typically loath seemingly selfless acts like these but after reading the Rolling Stone article on it, I’m convinced it’s cool. I’ll let you use your superior search abilities with YouTube to find the video. Suggested keywords: green day u2, it’s that easy folks! Sure…251 hits but 80% of the ones on the first page are the right one, but enough out of me.

What do you think?

There isn’t much I can say about this, just watch:

Edit: Well, Ted actually took the time to explain this and you might want to give it a whirl. I wasn’t in the best frame of mind when I first saw this video.

Upgrades all around! I just upgraded Wordpress which powers this blog from version 1.5.1 to version 2.0.4. It took less than 10 minutes and appears to have gone very well. That and I recently upgraded MythTV on my Media PC to the latest version that came out a week or two ago. It just highlights how I need a better video card, one capable of doing some OpenGL acceleration. The card I have now is not Scottish…and we know if it’s not Scottish, it’s KRAP!

So, I upgraded Wordpress in the first place hoping it might spark an interest in me blogging on a more regular basis. I don’t know what accounts for these bursts of attempts at spouting my opinions to the world. In a sense, maybe it’s about leaving some sort of legacy behind, something to show the future generations. Yeah, right.

MythTV is pretty swanky, but I need to get remote-control support going again now that I upgraded the kernel and such. Nerdy talk…

Have a peaceful fall, and check back here often enough to keep me interested…ok? Deal?
