    We are Cosmic Buddha

    March 19, 2019 /

    Aadab arz hai. They are not us, yo : Cosmic Buddha has never charged for music, mostly because we know we suck (although that obviously does not stop others). We have not released music for many years, but we have the Real Media files, several mixtapes, and Y2K coding errors to prove we were first. Our band predates our blog on this domain by 10 years or so, and it’s been going since 2003. Also, here’s some album art and gig posters from back in the day: Seongbulhaseyo. UPDATE: Really?

    Marchall Amps AKA Weiduka

    March 18, 2019 /

    I was online looking for a cheap amp to replace my current cheap one (which has bust a capacitor or something and picked up an oscillating ground loop type hum) when I stumbled onto this beauty of a knockoff: At first glance, I thought it was a legit Marshall product made for millennials, because with the similar font, my brain just skipped over the odd letter. But this is only part of the reason this is one of my favorite knockoffs this year. The other lies in the specs: Wongchongkrong noise is the sound of the People’s high-end AC power filter… Wongchongkrong for the people! WONGCHONGKRONG FOREVER !! Buy your…

    My Password Global Edition

    March 8, 2019 /

    Fun thing I learned today regarding secure passwords: the password "ji32k7au4a83" looks like it'd be decently secure, right? But if you check e.g. HIBP, it's been seen over a hundred times. Challenge: explain why and how this happened and how this password might be guessed — Robert Ou (@rqou_) March 1, 2019 Via Hacker Newsletter

    State of the Art Wetsuit

    February 18, 2019 /

    Most of the comments I’ve seen about this on YouTube and embedded sites are either great praise (well-deserved), or are questions about the black thong/panties. So with no further ado, this is an explanation for them: It’s kind of a clever design because it’s so distinctive and bothers so many people! I kind of doubt there would be so many complaints if the diver was female… Hmm, it doesn’t stand out so much on the gray suit.

    INSERT ANIMAL NAME – Crap coffee

    February 4, 2019 /

    The most expensive coffee in the world is being produced at the elephant camp we take the kids to almost every new year, on the way to Surin province: World’s Priciest Coffee Is Hand-Picked From Elephant Dung So here’s my prediction: What started as civet crap coffee and moved to elephant crap coffee will eventually result in the production of human crap coffee. Because, let’s be honest, Kopi Luwak can reportedly be very smooth (the ones I tried were not), but most people drink it because it’s something new and exotic, and because they secretly want to be like the baboon.
