I love this hotdog homeland security threat level system. We are currently at threat level Chicago dog with the works.

Low Risk – Steamed Tofu Pup on Sprouted Wheat Roll
The paradox is this: When playing “Let’s Make A Deal“, do the player’s chances of getting the car (behind door number 1, 2, or 3) increase by switching doors once a guess has been made (so technically it’s down to two doors at that point)? Surprisingly, the answer is Yes and the Monty Hall Problem explains why.
L’Arbre du Ténéré was once considered the most isolated tree on planet with 400 kilometers of Saharan desert separating it from the nearest tree. This week on Wednesday’s Wonderful World of Wikipedia, find out what happened to it and where it is now.
I just got that excited/bummed out feeling you get when you see one of your bands on a major corporate TV commercial. I just saw an AT&T ad featuring Mates Of State. The ad features the beautiful song For The Actor. When my emotions boil down, I really am happy for their exposure though. Now Mates Of State have done ads before, but it didn’t faze me the same way because it seemed like it was for a good cause and because Jason and Kori were naked (sfw) in it. Anyway, listen to and download Mates Of State’s wonderful cover of Phantom Planet’s California while your here.
The Tetris effect is the ability of any activity to which people devote sufficient time and attention to begin to dominate their thoughts, mental images, and dreams.
There was a time when they dotted the landscape in five and dime stores, bus stations, roller rinks, and amusement parks from coast to coast. In todays world of digital photography, finding an oldstyle photobooth (original chemical chemical dip & dunk botths, not the digital ones) is like finding a soda fountain shop – I can hardly avoid partaking in it’s nostalgic appeal and usually end up spending a few bucks. Photobooths in Colorado can be located at The Collective in Boulder and at Sputnik in Denver. While you’re at it, go check out the Photobooth Blog.
As an anecdote (haha) to last weeks WWWoW, here is a list of fictional medicines and drugs. It should be noted that some of the items listed may be used as both medicine and drug, or in other capacities, but fictional works are often vague on such distinctions. Grouping is done by what seems most likely. My favorite on this list is probably Dylar, from the novel White Noise, a psychoactive drug that is supposed to remove the fear of death.
I recently added Mark Wheeler’s wonderful 1 Bit Audio Player to this here website. So now anytime you see this symbol just click on it and it’ll play the associated file (this time it is Thom Yorke’s “Black Swan”). I really like this plugin because it’s simple and lightweight. Thanks Mark! If you’d like to explore more mp3’s and stuff, check out the mp3 tag.
And right about now it’s time to have some fun.
I have my Beastie Boys tickets. Do you? If not, buy them a day early using the pre-sale code MIXUP at ticketmaster. Don’t say I never did anything for you.
