Trench coat:

I haz it. TELL me that doesn't look awesome.

Report:

Finished Lurker at the Treshhold. It's about like the other Mythos: Strange and slow-paced, up until the last few pages. But it was good enough.

Trying to make it through A Brief History of Time, but I refuse to understand "curved space" for some reason.

Also tackling Free culture, which I read when I can't comprehend Brief History.

Saw the last Pirates of the Caribbean. Depressing ending.

I feel almost superior to other kids my age. They're too stupid. I suddenly know what it's like to be a Thoughtcriminal...

Hmm, what else? I can't think of anything, so I'll wish everybody a Merry Christmas! Or whatever you happen to celebrate, but I'm not going to take the PC route and post it here.

Popcorn time: Zero Day

Drawing from 1999's "Columbine Massacre" in Littleton, Colorado, this little-known film from independent director Ben Coccio (also little-known) is easily one of the most disturbing movies you will ever see. So now it's time for me to start singing it's praise.

First, a little history: The screenplay (what there is it, because 75% of the film is intentionally ad-libbed) was written shortly after said Columbine Massacre. Filming came shortly afterward. But in the middle of production, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 struck America, and the movie was delayed. After a 2 year gap, the movie debuted at as many independent film festivals as it could get entry to. Despite poor reviews due to controversy, the film has managed to get a following and attract positive reviews and even awards.

Now, on to my review. This movie is creepy. I don't mean "EEK! Something jumped out at me!" creepy, or Hitchcock-esque suspense tactics, this movie is genuinely disturbing. The film follows 2 teenage boys who claim themselves "The Army of Two". They have a methodically detailed plan to assault the students and staff of their high-school. The movie follows their video diaries of their planning and their thoughts on what is to come and what they've already done, leading up to the inevitable horrifying climax. (No spoilers!)

First off, the movie is filmed almost entirely in cheap home-video, and all the actors in the film are, indeed, not professional actors. This was mostly intentional, in order to add a flair of realism to what is already shockingly accurate. That being said, I felt as thought I really were following the main characters, Cal and Andre, around in their many escapades, such as egging the captain of the wrestling team's house, or Cal going to the prom with a group of people he obviously did not feel comfortable with. You are forced to see the human side of a couple of youngsters who are obviously not entirely well.

Some of the scenes in the movie really grab you, and send massive chills up your spine. Listening to Cal's musings (Such as his telling his little cousin/nephew/whatever what it would be like if the world was ruled by old people, and they all hit you with canes, or when he used garbled analogies to express his excitement about the shooting.) or getting a glimpse of Andre's temper (Such as when he was angry with Cal for doing something against his wishes, sending him into a screaming, fist-pounding fit of rage.) really give you a feel for how detached these children seem from reality, seeking revenge for what would seem to some normal teen behaviour and the way the world works.


Some lines in the movie leave you wondering what you should think of Cal and Andre's psyches, such as one of my favorite lines from near the end of the movie, which is almost an homage to the Quentin Tarantino cult-classic Pulp-fiction. ("Ok, is it 1.2.3 go, or 1.2 go? Do I go on 4 or 3?" "4. Everybody goes on 4.")

The end of this psychological thrill-ride (heh) is one of the most bitter endings I've seen in any film. The last shot in the movie will have you wishing things would have turned out differently, but realize that the message of the movie wasn't to understand how this happened (such as what would have happened if the school had tighter security), but rather what would force a couple of kids to want to do such a thing. The movie does not attempt to make any sort of valid, specific point as to answering this question, but instead chooses to study the goings-on of a couple of teens wanting to even the score in an environment they see as turned against them.

If you have a chance, I urge you to watch this movie. This could very well be the most important film ever to come out of post-Columbine society. The DVD seems to be overpriced everywhere, but it might be worth it to support a decent independent filmmaker. If that's not enough to sway your opinion, let me leave you with this: It's only 1 and a half hours long (Not a huge bite out of your life.), and if you don't watch it, I'll kidnap you and make you watch it.

Reporting in!

About 30 pages in to Lurker at the Threshold, and I can honestly say I don't know why this is a book instead of a short-story. Why deviate from that long held Mythos tradition?

I also heard there's going to be an independent film based on the classic Lovecraft story The Shadow over Innsmouth. But they will be using the themes of the movie to push their agenda, which is...wait for it...how homosexuality is looked down upon in society. Somehow, I don't think fish-people and The esoteric order of Dagon really represent gays.

Gearing up to start watching more anime in my free time. I'm now keeping a list of all the series/movies I've watched, and it's looking rather sad so far.

Also, I want a trench coat. Maybe it's that I watched The Matrix one too many times, but I don't really care. I think I'd look cool, so PPHHBBTT.

I have not had enough time to resume my studying (computers), because PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW ARE WASTING MY TIME! It's like I stepped into a REALLY bad season of Degrassi, and it must stop.

Also, maybe I like being an aspiring hacker, and don't want to go build a snow man, or have a snowball fight with myself. Call me strange, but that sounds rather unappealing.

Now, on to my winter reading list:

1. Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity - Lawrence Lessig
2. A Brief History of Time - Steven Hawking
3. The Lurker at the Treshhold - August Derleth/ H.P Lovecraft
4. The Difference Engine - William Gibson and Bruce Sterling
5. Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince

Of course, I know someone who would say "u sholdnt red so much, go ot n ply ur a kid". And people wonder why I have so little faith in humanity. Please try to encourage intellectualism and "book-learning", because we're doomed to continue on as savages if we go on this way.

On a brighter note, POKEMAN!

I'm sorry...

This was too cool not to put up:

What...the...fu-

I have no idea what's been happening. Strange girls keep popping up out of the woodwork to greet me, and I have to go through the pain of talking to these weirdos, and then another one shows up! I think it's a sign from God, but I really don't know how to interpret this one, gimme a hint. :P

It certainly is.

If anybody gets the joke, please fill me in. (Found on 4chan, /b/)

Only in Japan:

I don't know what the bloody hell this is, much less if it's cool that I post it here. Found at www.lolwut.com (Which I suspect is merely a dump of pictures from 4chan.)

If anybody knows Kanji, I'd appreciate the help. (I think it's Kanji, it's too squiggly to be Katakana. :P)

NOTE: I made this one, but I needed a smaller pic and was too lazy to scale it down in The Gimp.









Many thanks to "Tacogeddon" for digging up the pictures! Many thanks to my morbid imagination for the caption ideas!

Also, I don't know how to scale down the pics, so cry me a river.

Amazing!

I am currently working on a chatterbot named "Corby", and I made a breakthrough: it learned it's name. By that, I don't mean I taught it to read back "Corby" when I typed in "What is your name?" It learned its name. It can read back the name when I ask it to, no matter what I type. Fascinating!

I, Robot

This past weekend, I have been delving into a type of program called a chatterbot. What it is is an Artificial Intelligence program that is trained to respond to key words that you teach it. Most of the time it goes well. For example: I am teaching one bot that it is intelligent, and it understands me! But sometimes, it doesn't go to well. For example: One bot I am not on "speaking terms" with, doesn't know what yes is. Isn't that unbelievable?! I will attempt to chart my progress with a few chosen bots on this blog. Stay tuned!

Go gays!

Ok so it's gay pride weekend, and I couldn't be more pissed. I have nothing against homosexuality, in fact I'm a strong supporter of it, but this is my line. There is no such thing as straight pride weekend, so they don't deserve this bizarre treatment. The thing is people should fight as hard as they can for their culture. But they don't have a culture. They have sex with people of their own gender. This is not a culture, it is a lifestyle.

All I'm saying is, you don't need a weekend to march. March when you have to, and call it a day. Did they take away your right to marry? March. Did they try to smash up your homes? March! But you shouldn't have your own sort of bizarre culture where people must wear certain clothes, or talk in a thertain way. That's almost fascism. But then again, it is a good idea to set aside a day or two for your rights but this is out of hand. I saw a picture of a group of lesbians carrying a sign with some sort of title on it, with the anarchy symbol inset. What? What sort of statement are you trying to make? "We're here! We're queer! We're gonna riot in the streets and overturn all power so that we may rule the world!"

I think turning the gay lifestyle into a culture is only worsening things for them. It's becoming more of a cult than a sexual thing. I don't get it, I guess.

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk

Injustice has dropped to a new low. Matt Boyd (of the most excellent webcomics MacHall and Three Panel Soul) got canned. He went out to get a gun (legally) then (according to Boyd himself, of course) spoke with a friend about it. Apparently, one of his coworkers declared to the management that they felt threatened, and unsafe. This all happened shortly after Virginia-Tech.
Supposedly, they offered him nice referrals. So then a couple of days later, the Department of Criminal Justice shows up at his door. The webcomics he (and Ian Mcconiville, Respectively) had done on this subject were considered a "Terroristic Threat". Needless to say, they investigated into it and found no evidence of foul play. But it's the principal of the thing. A man loses his job due to unfair circumstances, and then they spit on him.

As if that weren't enough, according to his rant on it, he received e-mails putting him down for using the VT Shooting to get his point across that it was an influence to his firing. This is how diseased our society is. We cannot rightfully admit what the problem is without someone shooting you down for "offending the victims families". The thing is, no one asked THEM what they think. They all assume that they're offended because that's the P.C. thing to do.

This reminds me of another tragedy (sort-of). When the new movie adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" came to fruition, there were people complaining that the title of the film would "offend families of the victims of 9/11". And even if it would, it has NOTHING to do with 9/11, so take it for what it is. F*@#%?$G FICTION! You P.C.Holes are ruining the world! And do you know why they do this? It's called demotivization (or at least that's the point I'm preaching.). We're being dumbed down so that the government and these mega-corps don't have to put up with us. They're turning us into zombies so that they can rake in easy cash.

My point is, we're killing society by trying to better it. So GET OUT OF YOUR F***ING FANTASY WORLD AND GET A LIFE! IF YOU BELIEVE THE WORLD IS BETTER OFF POLITICALLY CORRECT, YOU NEED A SHOTGUN TO THE CRANIUM! STOP IT!

[P.S. I really hope I get nailed on terrorist charges for this, so that I can prove to society that we're all too soft. C**k munchers.]

Trying this post with Vista's speech recognition.

I let's set so double the killer delete select all

Damnit!

Uh-huh...

I've been getting a lot of spyware pop-ups lately, and this one is by far the best. Read the line that I circled. Sock. Sock? SOCK!? Why would I buy a single sock!? Oh, and also, "Not your mother's bathroom sink."? WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!? "But now it's the norm." Yeah, well.......you're face. Idiots.

Error:Vista Sucks

I'm so sick of all the magazines, and websites, and EVERY F***ING THING ELSE telling me HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA!!!!!!!!!!11!!!11!21!21!!!!!! I mean, they're selling point is something like: "Windows Vista is so easy even this mentally retarded monkey can use it, and he doesn't have fingers! What? No monkey?! I'M BILL GATES!!! IF I WANT A GOD-DAMN MONKEY I BETTER-F***ING WELL HAVE IT! DO YOU KNOW HOW INSANELY RICH I AM?! I COULD BLOW UP THE MOON AND GET AWAY WITH IT! YOU CAN'T DEFY THAT SORT OF POWER! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!.............................................Anyway, have you seen Vista's amazing 3D accelerated GUI? It's so new and amazing, i'm suprised i didn't think of it myself..........WHO WROTE THAT ON THE GOD-DAMN CUE CARD! KILL HIM IMMEDIATLY! CAN'T KILL ANYO-I'M BILL GATES! I CAN KILL ANYONE I WANT!.........Okay, anyway. What about that speech recognition? I mean this technology has been around for at least 20 years. Where the hell was Windows then? OH, YOU OPEN-SOURCERS CAN BLOW ME! I'm going to go count my money. See you bastards when Windows X: The final evil comes out!"

Anyway, my point is, i'm not a complete idiot. Windows Vista is the easiest operating system to install ever! So I don't need some dumbass ruining my computer experience by treating me like a damn 3 year-old. In fact, that's what it's like being a teenager. "When I was your age, we were dumb. We got in all sorts of trouble. So i'm going to treat you like a baby so that you will thank me when your a grown-up" "But i'm more mature than that, plus I don't have any friends to act stupid with. Plus, what adult still say's 'Grown-up'?" "Well, um......Go clean up your room." And why does every generation have to put down the next? It's like a spiral of laziness. "I'm so lazy, i'm going to blame my children for the world's problems." This has been happening for decades, and I think it has to stop.

Anyway, i'm veering off-topic. The point is, i'm not a baby, I think I can handle Vista.

Blue Screen Of Death

Hello World, and welcome to "C00k1NG 1IK3 4N 3v1L G3N1U5" Today on C143G, I'll show you you how to make a Screen-saver that looks like a BS... *Ahem* I mean, MS-Windows Blue Screen "Of Death".

Step 1. Right click on the desktop and click on the properties tab.

Step 2. Make sure you are under the Screen-saver tab, and that you are set to the marquee style SS. Then Click settings as Illustrated.

Step 3. Set the color of the backround to blue, set the text as the "error" you want, and set all other options as you see in this picture. Then click format text. This is where it gets tricky.

Step 4. As illustrated, set the font to courier, the font color to gray, and everything else should be set by default. (except the underlined text, but that's optional) Click OK. Then click OK on the next box (The Basic Settings box. Click apply. If you want to see your work, click "preview".

Step 5. Congraturations! You dug up an old relic from windows 3.1 and made a lame DOS joke! Enjoy!

Doo weee, ooo wooo.....

Check it! Sweet, huh?

Someone called the great caltech rose bowl card prank a terrorist action. Whatever.

Gates is a dick

Ok, first microsoft claimed open-source software was a threat to their organization, and now "Vista"'s (or as it was originally known, "longhorn" *up the ol' poop-chute*) liscence expressly forbids using it on a virtual machine. ---0 80 WHY NOT?! Jeez, these people.

*Shudders*

I'd like to take this time to speak out against "Voodoo Feminism" as I believe this is the only term for it. Take this excerpte from the Wikipedia page under "Feminism":

"Modern feminist political activists commonly campaign on issues such as reproductive rights, including the right to safe, legal abortion, access to contraception and quality prenatal care, protection from violence within a domestic partnership, sexual harassment, street harassment, discrimination and rape, and rights to maternity leave, and equal pay. Many feminists today argue that feminism is a grass-roots movement that seeks to cross boundaries based on social class, race, culture and religion. They also argue that an effective feminist movement should be culturally specific and address issues relevant to the women of the society in question such as female genital cutting in Africa and the Middle East and the "glass ceiling" issue in developed economies. They also debate the extent to which certain societal issues such as rape, incest and mothering are universal. Themes explored in feminism include patriarchy, stereotyping, sexual objectification and oppression."

Ok, so you get raped and everyone has to pay? Heehee! Sorry. But seriously, it gets worse:

"English-speaking feminists are often proponents of what they consider to be non-sexist language, using "Ms." to refer to both married and unmarried women, or "he or she" (or other gender-neutral pronouns) in place of "he" where the gender is unknown. Feminists are also often proponents of using gender-inclusive language, such as "humanity" instead of "mankind". Feminists in most cases advance their desired use of language either in the interest of equal and respectful treatment of women or in order to affect the tone of political discourse. These feminists argue that language directly affects perception of reality (compare Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis), and move to change language which may be viewed as imbued with sexism, for example the case in the English language in which the word for the general pronoun is "he" or "his" (The child should have his paper and pencils), which is the same as the masculine pronoun (The boy and his truck)."

So if you don't speak english, you're a F*cking sexist pig and should burn in the intense fires of hell!

You'll notice how none of this is about equal rights. Feminists want higher pay in the workplace. Fine! But don't say you want equal pay, and then complain! That's not fair! You're simply punishing men for your great-grandfather smacking your mother's ass, or some damn thing! Let it go! The sexual revolution is over. YOU WON! When you win, you don't expect more than the prize allotted, so why are you still fighting? Is it because you want more?

I don't care what any of you say, because Feminism isn't about a woman's right to kill an unborn child, or a woman's choice of religion, it's all about power and money.

So if you son't believe me, fine. Stone me, burn me at a stake, flame me. I don't care. I stand up for what I think is right, and this is so insanely wrong, I can't take it. "My father was a pig, so I want the full right to shove a telephone pole up each and every man's ass." And what do all the pussies of the world do? THEY LET THEM DO IT!!! WHY?!?!?!? Because you're afraid she'll sue you you for sexual descrimination? Who Cares!? You people disgust me, and may god have mercy on your soul when the day dawns that you shall pass.

Readers: Thank you!

Pussies: You suck for letting women go to far and ruin love, sex, and freedom forever. Fuck you.

Feminists: Stop whining that men make only as much as you, maybe not speak english, and possibly even discriminate against you, and be thankful that your elders were nice enough to make this world more accomidating for you. 'Cause it's a sick time when I can't even tell a woman she looks nice or that I want to go out with her without her getting all extremist on me because I'm a sexist. Thank you very much for ruining what was left of freedom and the beauty of love, forever. My middle finger has a special place in my heart for you.

I've had it!

I Watched a video on YouTube today, where a guy claims that YouTube will change the world, and make everyone closer. I looked at the comments, and big surprise, I found a tidal-wave of foul language blasting this poor, intellegent guy. "this guys a fagot" Ok, first, learn how to spell "Faggot" you dumbass. Second, you're only saying that because you don't understand what he's talking about. Probably too many big words...

So, I have decided to attack internet stupidity. Not by flaming, that's letting them off too easy. I shall get people joined in this fight, and perhaps "reclaim" the net somehow. Wish me luck.
