I’m just going to put this out there: I kind of like the new AOL (Aol? Aol.?) logo. It’s minimal, clean, modern, and flexible. Not to mention, a huge improvement on what they have now. I’m all about hate for AOL, but this really isn’t so bad. Give them a chance to change. It’s not like they could get any worse, right?

Patrick Moberg has done it again with “Internet Vices.”

This is eerily accurate, in more ways than one. All the ways we interact with social data are like substances that fuck you up. I’m interested in something more like tea.

Just watching this video makes me so stressed out. This is what I deal with EVERY DAY. TWICE.

So, I’ve watched this video about a dozen times, and it’s pretty clear how this all starts. Around 10 seconds, there’s a tiny red car in the bottom right area of the track. This red car is a lousy, slow driver. Behind it is a blueish-silver car, an aggressive driver. They sped up in response to the red car in front of them, then had to hit the brakes when the red car wasn’t going fast enough. This started the shockwave, as all the cars behind the silver-blue car took the brake lights as a cue to stop.

Slow drivers and aggressive assholes. Who knew they’d be the ones causing all the problems?

During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.

CBN article about Halloween, removed after people started pointing and laughing. The article also makes three mentions of “time-released curses”. Which, I guess, technically, they all are, but I digress. We live in Salem, MA, which is known as Witch City and has witches and psychics and all those other crazy evil things all year long, so I’ll keep my eye out tonight for any baby sacrificing and let you know if my heart gets dirty.

I’m pretty sure my first attempt at a website was a Geocities site, back when I was in middle school, late 90’s. Probably about the Star Wars CCG or Nintendo. Sad to see the service fade away like this. The internet was sort of endearing before it got all self-conscious and self-important.

Can’t wait to see these guys tonight at Roseland.

Wanted to go to this show so bad but the tickets were expensive. I’m going to regret it if they don’t come around MA again.
