May 26, 2005 - Exploring 3D Enviroments using your web browser
If you have some free time and would like to hang out and chat, I recommend
you check out oddessey.org. Oddessy.org
is a web browser-based community centered around 3-D environments built
using VRML.
I just recently posted some
info about VRML, and some
background on Adobe Atmosphere...
I'm disappointed because when I finally get around to exploring the
possibilities of Adobe Atmosphere, I find out Adobe has discontinued
it ...
Of course, online word exploration and chat is recommend for users
with high-speed internet connections and good computers, but this doesn't
necessarily exclude dial-up--it will just take longer for things to
load.
If you'd rather intereact with something more fancy and join a pay-for-play
world, check out secondlife.com
or there.com
(but beware; there are lots of ways they will get you to spend real
money). See also this interesting
blog of second life...
May 27, 2005 - New NIN Albulm
The first track definitely grows on you... My mind was wandering until
3:50 .... Then YEA!
View lyrics for ALL THE
LOVE IN THE WORLD (after repeated listenings I think this might
just be my favorite track on the albulm; I just can't help but like
Trent's anthems).
I made this
home page by deconstructing a photo while listening to the
abulm. Inspired especially by the tracks "BESIDE
YOU IN TIME" and "RIGHT WHERE IT
BELONGS".

For God's sake, if you see the CD titled
"radiant decay: a tribute to nin inch nails"
in the NIN bin,
DO NOT BUY IT!!!
Learn from my mistake. There's a reason that it's selling for
less than $1 on amazon.com....

May 29, 2005: Nine Inch Nails, MTV at Odds on Bush Photo
[source: AP News, Sat May 28, 9:54 PM ET]
<< Nine Inch Nails dropped out of the MTV Movie Awards after clashing
with the network over an image of President Bush the band planned as
a performance backdrop.
The Bush image was to accompany the song "The Hand That Feeds,"
which obliquely criticizes the Iraq war. It includes the lyrics: "What
if this whole crusade's a charade / And behind it all there's a price
to be paid / For the blood on which we dine / Justified in the name
of the holy and the divine."
MTV said in a statement to its news division that the network was disappointed
the industrial rock band would not perform but had been "uncomfortable
with their performance being built around a partisan political statement."
The Foo Fighters will perform in place of the Trent Reznor-led band
at the awards, being taped June 4 in Los Angeles.
Reznor said in a statement posted on the band's Web site Thursday that
the image of the president would have been unaltered and "straightforward."
"Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV
as it is to me," he said.
Nine Inch Nails' fourth studio album and first in six years, "With
Teeth," debuted this month at No. 1 in sales. >>
May 29, 2005: Internet Down?
Hey, is it just me, or are a bunch of webservers unreachable
over the Memorial Day weekend? I can get to some places, but other places
(say, Yahoo mail), are just unreachable.... Or is it just SBC's DNS
servers?

"Keeper of Expired Web Pages Is Sued Because Archive
Was Used in Another Suit"
By TOM ZELLER Jr.; The N.Y. Times
The Internet Archive, which stores snapshots of ever-changing Web
sites, is on the defensive in a legal case that represents a strange
turn in the debate over copyrights.
...
" ... all fish in 19 states are now unsafe to eat because
of mercury contamination. At least some of the fish in 48 states
are now unsafe to eat.
In fact, the only two states where they’re “safe”
are Alaska and Wyoming, where the Republican-controlled legislatures
refused to allocate the funds for their agencies to test the fish.
Today, one out of every six American women has so much mercury
in her womb that her children are at risk for a grim inventory of
diseases, including autism, blindness, mental retardation
and heart, liver and kidney disease. My own levels of mercury are
so high -- I had them tested recently -- that a woman with the same
levels would have a child with cognitive impairment. The Clinton
administration had classified mercury as a hazardous pollutant under
the Clean Air Act, which triggered a requirement that those utilities
remove 90 percent of the mercury within three and a half years.
It would have cost less than 1 percent of plant revenue, and the
great thing about it is that it works; we now know that when the
utilities stop discharging mercury, that the fish downstream clean
up almost immediately.
But this is an industry that gave all that money, over $100 million,
to the president. A few months ago, the Bush administration announced
that it was scrapping the Clinton-era regulations and substituting
instead regulations that were written by utility lawyers, from the
law firm of Latham and Watkins. Under the new rules, the utilities
will effectively never have to clean up their mercury. And the chief
lobbyist for Latham and Watkins was Jeffrey Holmstead, who is now
the head of the air division of EPA. This is an example of how corporations
have infiltrated our government and are dismantling it in order
to privatize the commons."

Congress approved an energy
bill (Aug. 2) that includes massive subsidies for the oil,
coal and nuclear industries.
And the House-Senate Appropriations
conference committee cut the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's)
FY06 budget
by nearly $200 million.
The final bill includes more than $8.5 billion
in tax breaks plus billions more in loan guarantees and
other subsidies for the electricity, coal, nuclear, natural gas
and oil industries. By contrast, the bill includes only about $1.3
billion for energy efficiency and conservation programs, and $3
billion for renewable energy sources, primarily wind power.

Those sites out there that promise access to 'unlimited tv shows,
games, music, & movies' are asking you to pay for links to
free programs and BitTorrent sites.
We signed up for TV Central,
but there are many other
sites that
promise the same
thing.
We think you're smart enough to find all the stuff below on
your own. But, if you aren't then today's your lucky day because
we're linking to programs that those other sites make you pay for.
The links below cost us exactly $55. Let's hope that we're
the last person to pay for stuff any jerk can Google.
NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY COPYRIGHTED MOVIES, TV SHOWS, MUSIC OR
GAMES. IT IS ILLEGAL!
That said, welcome to the Attack of the Show - Unlimited Games,
Music, Movies and TV Shows Download Area Parody! You now have access
to our EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!!*
*By exclusive, we mean stuff that you can find using Google...
BitComet - their recommended
BitTorrent client. We prefer Azureus.
What good is a BitTorrent client without access to our
extensive library?
But that's not all. We also give you access to other centralized
networks like Limewire, iMesh,
Exeem & WinMX.
Plus, you can watch ALL your favorite movies and TV shows with our
exclusive movie player... VideoLAN. We paid an extra $14.95
on top of our $40 membership fee for this link!
We're not done yet! You can burn your movies, games, and TV shows
with our CD & DVD burning
software... Burn4Free.
How can we possibly afford to give you all this information? We
must be crazy!
How about a bonus spyware
killer and pop-up killer?
We spare no expense, you betcha!
And only our members get links to streaming
radio sites!
But we want to make sure our members never download copyrighted
software, movies or TV shows. So stay safe online by following
the EFF's guide to not getting sued.
Want to know exactly what you'd get for the price of a membership?
Well thanks to Google, wonder no more!
