New MacBooks Carved With 'Frickin Lasers Man'

Yeah, it's true. Apple has decided to completely change how laptops are put together by ditching old skool stamping, layering and welding manufacturing with carving the pretty things from solid aluminium blocks with lasers and water jets. The new MacBooks sport what Apple is calling a 'unibody', crafted from a single block of aluminium that also makes them thinner, more durable and prettier. Not only...

Review Revue: Soundgarden - Ultramega OK

Hey, you know what I just realized? I missed my chance a couple weeks ago to have a big Review Revue anniversary post! That’s right, it’s already been over a year of digging into the archives of KCMU and sharing the wisdom and wisecrackery of our DJs with the masses. (Which means [...]

To my friends in Iceland!

I’m sorry to hear about all the financial woes there… Maybe things will get better. I think they should get that economist from CCP (the ones that make Eve-Online… not the Chinese Communist Party, which might have questionable economists), to run the banking system for a while. Here are a few of my lesser-known Icelandic pictures [...]

Managerobit: Bryan Morrison

In something of a grim week for Pink Floyd, their former manager Bryan Morrison has died after two years in a coma. Morrison had been manager of The Pretty Things when he started promoting Pink Floyd gigs; he later became their manager before moving into music publishing. More recently - and despite originally believing it to be "a game for stupid bastards" Morrison had brought his skills to reinvigorate...

9/11 For Children

Once upon a time, there was a village to which everyone in the whole countryside wanted to move, but that really also all the people hated. And like a crazy teen beauty queen, the people in the village loved that mix of envy and resentment. Somehow,

Oh No! My Muxtape!

I’ve always been a mixtape junkie. I’ve been making them since I had the ability to press the buttons on a cassette recorder. My first mixtape was a compilation of music from the Power Rangers movie, the theme to Ninja Turtles, “Everybody Dance Now” by C&C Music Factory, and some Pearl Jam song that I [...]

In Which the Banshee Attempts to Be Positive.

I visited one of my old parishes, St. Luke’s, on Assumption Day. I hadn’t been back since they built the new church, so of course I was curious. The new church has… well, it has perfectly serviceable walls and floors and ceilings. They’re not very decorative, and they’re kinda lumpy and don’t lead the eye toward [...]

Screaming Fanboys At The Historical Society :: Simpson's Paradox

I’m doing some work for my mom, making a blog for her museum. It’s a great project, although I’m not exactly knowledgable about history or art in the last 2000 years, so she has to keep me from writing things like “Come to an old house and look at stuff!” and “Some famous guy is going to talk about the pretty things here.” We were talking about the tone for the blog, and how I won’t be saying “This...
