Hot: Last, but certainly not least, comes this heated admonishment. For the record, I have not at this time cancelled the shoutcast. Viva la musica. G, The SEOians may be upset about this horrid loss of a radio comrade. But at least they have their clever wit, sick twisted humor, their own ipods and LFO [...]
Hot: For those not in the know, the herpes references do have a legitimate precedent, namely the origin story of the band Godsmack’s name. Erna stated in a 1999 interview that “I was making fun of somebody who had a cold sore on his lip and the next day I had one myself and somebody [...]
Hot: Hard on the heels of that mind blowing letter of protest came another. Let it never be said that direct reasoning and protest is useless. Yknow, he’s got a point there. I was pretty quick to just fold on the whole issue, but the fact of the matter is, theres lives at steak* here. [...]
Hot: I run a private, LAN shoutcast server for our office. Nothing terribly fancy, mind you, just a collection of my music and some of my co-workers’, mixed into a couple randomized playlists.

Hot: If you’re in the mood to unearth evidence of spin control and disinformation on that internet bastion (or bastard depending on one’s viewpoint) of information, Wikipedia, then Wired’s blog Threat Level has just the post for you.

Hot: Via the rumor mill and Snopes: There has been a lot of buzz surrounding “2007 as the year we may lose Equal Rights Voting”.
