1,200 Patents

This is a picture of Nikola Tesla. He was a cool guy. There were over 1,200 patents to his name when he died in 1943. He knew six languages by the time he was 18. He invented a 'death ray' (particle gun), and gave pieces of how to build it to all the major world powers, thus making them be peaceful with each other so no one country could control such a deadly weapon. He predicted ideas such as the internet and television decades before anything like them surfaced. I think Nikola Tesla was a pretty cool guy.




I blog for myself, mostly.

today was good.
I had way too much to drink.
although none of it was alcohol.
i think i will start wearing suits more often.
i was called dapper, which is good i guess.
that is all.

My Tank Is Fight!

Remember remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder and treason
should ever be forgot.

My Cup Is Full, and I Feel Okay

I was reading this Pitchfork interview with the singer from the Decemberists, and found this quuuite funny:

Pitchfork: You play a lot of covers, I'm curious about the spirit in which you approach these covers, whether it's more revisionist or more direct. In your cover of Joanna Newsom's "Bridges & Balloons" for instance, you change, perhaps inadvertently, a couple key words that really affect the meaning of the song. When she says "brace and buoy the living room," it sounds as if you're saying "brace and boil," which obviously changes the implications of that line a lot.

CM: I just fucked it up. I think I was drunk when I recorded it.

Seriously Pitchfork Media. Chill the fuck out. Aziz Ansari, on the other hand...
