Hong Kong Phooey

Friday, September 30th, 2005

Dragon Radio is a podcast that specializes in contemporary asian music. If the songs aren’t good then atleast hearing them sung in a different language keeps it interesting. It’s mostly indie and punk rock but the best song I found so far was in episode 23, a Hong Kong rap group called “Too Monkey”. The [...]

Shweeet!

Friday, September 30th, 2005

Wow, this MIT laptop for the worlds poor children is designed really beautifully. It’s only 100 bucks of material, but it does the basics. Goes to show how bad we’re all getting ripped off for our Dells and Apples and HP’s or whatever hunk of junk we purchase. Of course Google is involved with this [...]

This will be (and should be) broadcast everywhere if it isn’t already…
But this is gigantic dwarf posting it as a one day scoop, for all those who haven’t heard it yet. link

World Of WTF?

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

WoW! World Of Warcraft sounds really engrossing:
So what? Well, it’s cool. There are only a few people who are able to create these things so you rarely see ninjas or pirates running around. When I board the boat to sail to another continent or am in a group raiding a dungeon, I often transform into [...]

Everybody Hates Chris On The Net

Some Days Are Really Ugly

Monday, September 26th, 2005

There is a technical school at the corner of the park near our house where lots of underprivileged teens(I don’t mean this in the Barbara Bush sense) congregate after school and walk to the subway together in big unruly mobs. This is a place where the cultural divide that shouldn’t be converges for the worst. [...]
