$800 Pimpmobile for G-man
Cuz it’s all about O-REGON, yo: “1989 Cadillac Sedan Deville Pimp mobile for sale. Perfect for the up and coming pimp who isn’t quite ready to step up into an Ex-calade. This fine example of Motor vehicle pimpery comes stock with no hubcaps, because as you know any real baller is just gonna drop dubs on it anyway. The stereo isn’t working, but then again, a real mac like you is going to drop some change to make this bitch rumble. The trunk is extra large in case you have a ho who steps out of line, you can put her in there. A good feature because if you spend…

Alternate Ending: Little Shop of Horrors
One last link in between packing and waiting for baby Max to wake up for his midnight feed: Lost “Horrors” Ending Found on YouTube Ten years ago, “Little Shop of Horrors” was available on a DVD including the toothier alternate ending — for exactly five days. But Warner Brothers failed to secure the proper copyrights for the alternate ending — and the DVD was recalled. For the next decade, producer David Geffen and Warner Brothers wrangled and promised to restore the original ending, until Warner Brothers finally discovered in 2007 that it had already been burned in a studio fire. But while Hollywood argued, the coveted footage quietly slipped onto…

MTV redux
So MTV has somewhat atoned for the past decades of sin by finally providing… music videos! I browsed around for an hour and realized it’s literally been 20 years since I’ve really watched music videos… And it’s telling to see the #1 watched video on the site (I swear the kids linking to that vid must think Wang Chung is an Asian porn site). Some of the videos seem to be in fairly high def as well. Go check it out; mtvmusic.com

Disposable Diapers vs Cloth: Carbon Footprint
We did the cloth diaper thing for a while and I was happy to do my own little part for the environment, but as soon as I realized how poorly cloth diapers performed compared to disposables, we switched. Now it seems that using cloth nappies might not be as environmentally friendly (in regards to greenhouse gas emissions) as everybody assumed: Blow to image of ‘green’ reusable nappy “A government report that found old-fashioned reusable nappies damage the environment more than disposables has been hushed up because ministers are embarrassed by its findings… …The report found that while disposable nappies used over 2½ years would have a global warming , impact…

Literary Rules
Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They’re old hat) Also, always avoid annoying alliteration. Be more or less specific. Remarks in brackets (however relevant) are (usually) (but not always) unnecessary. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies. No sentence fragments. Contractions aren’t necessary and shouldn’t be used. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous. One should NEVER generalize. Comparisons are as bad as clichés. Don’t use no double negatives. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations,…

Keep it real
There are some fools claiming it’s all about WordPress. Get real, have you really read your master’s teachings? Is it not apparent with each link he magically conjures up in your footer? Likewise, there are some claiming it’s all about Drupal or Textpattern or Nucleus (or Mambo or b2evolution). I’m not claiming that MT (which is running this blog) is the best, rather, I’m calling for the next true level of blogging software… We are far from the combination of power, features, and ease of use that each blogging platform claims to have but doesn’t really deliver… Bring on the next level, please. We are all waiting.
