“I didn’t want to get spit on me.”
This is my favorite scene in the movie. It works really well even if you haven’t seen the rest of the film. I love their performance of the song.
“Larry Ellison: I remember when Steve [Jobs] was my neighbor in Woodside, Calif., and he had no furniture. It struck me that there wasn’t furniture good enough for Steve in the world. He’d rather have nothing if he couldn’t have perfection.
And I jokingly said, “The difference between me and Steve is that I’m willing to live with the best the world can provide. With Steve that’s not always good enough.”

i was looking through my old portfolio today -which by the way is not unlike looking at yourself naked in the mirror (you make the same face)- and i asked myself what’s the most iconic web design i’ve ever seen. i keep coming back to these three:
- craigslist
- slashdot
- cnet’s vertical columnar navigation
For me, it’s gotta be the first time I visited cumdrunktrannies.com. You’d think with such a sordid URL the interface would be horrible; but God-DAMN was that a fucking elegant design.
On This Day In History - November 5th 1955

In 1955, Doctor Emmet Lathrop Brown was standing on a toilet hanging a wall clock when he slipped and beat his head on the bathroom sink. Unconscious, Doc had a vision. And that vision was that of a flux capacitor — the device that makes time travel possible. The rest, my friends, is history. Or should I say, future? Time travel joke!

FUCKING WIN.
remember, remember, the 5th of november…
Very underrated film.
“Because we’ll come after you. You’re gonna find yourself in a very tough hole if you’re arguing for the president’s stimulus plan or Nancy Pelosi’s health plan. There’s no justification for growing the size of government the way this administration and this Congress wants to do it.The challenge now, as you see the emergence of the 9/12 movement and the tea parties and so forth, [is to] help them appreciate that we’re with them, we’re walking that walk with them.

Hucakbee sounds like he’s got schizophrenia.

Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor who is also a possible 2012 contender, urged Republicans not to support third-party candidates, warning that doing so was a recipe for defeat. “There is potential danger if people believe the way to get the attention of Washington is through third-party candidates,” he said. “Typically what a third-party candidate does is ensure the election of the one you like the least.”
But Mr. Huckabee, eager not to alienate conservatives, made clear that he would support primary challenges to Republican candidates who he thought strayed from the party’s values. As one example, he said he was supporting a conservative challenger to Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida, who is seeking the nomination for a Senate seat in a primary that is shaping up as the next big showdown between Republicans.
Ted Haggard, who was forced to resign from a megachurch he ran for relations with a male prostitute, is starting a new church in his living room.
Asked why he was having services in his living room, Haggard said, “Well, if we had services in my bedroom that’d be weird because that’s where I had sex with a male prostitute.”
“Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA), a candidate in the GOP primary for Governor of Georgia, has announced that he is signing a letter to the White House with several of his colleagues — asking for a copy of President Obama’s birth certificate.”

Here we go again. It’s really remarkable that this is a campaign tactic. Where would the GOP be without the willfully ignorant?
