wtf?
Update: This was actually COMPLETELY lame. Not only was the Gawker vid apparently doctored so that her speech seem slurred, but as far as I can tell the only part about the episode that was remotely about pot was the intro. All they did was sip a little vino and cook up 1 metric ton of pork. Here are the parts on YouTube if you feel like being bored. Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3
Yesterday Martha Stewart did a show all about pot I guess, and had Jimmy Fallon on as a guest. But it was only on for a few seconds before it was preempted by some crap Catholic news? (in NY at least). She was obviously blasted. I really want to see this whole show.. apparently it did air in full in some areas. Hopefully it shows up torrentially. Apparently I can’t embed this Gawker vid, so you’ll have to click there to see it.
Who approved this game? That ball’s bigger than he is lol.
I used to listen to a pretty steady stream of old bootlegged Loveline radio shows which I got from a friend at work, so needless to say I’m a fan of Adam Carolla. Back in 2005 he jumped from that ship to fill the void that Howard Stern left in the major corporate terrestrial radio morning show markets. I never got into that, mainly because there wasn’t a local affiliate in the sticks I lived in at the time, but I also figured I would miss Dr. Drew and the hilariously dumb callers with their sometimes-amazing sexual and drug related topics. But at the same time Loveline without Adam became unlistenable to me as well.
Well, The Adam Carolla Show was canceled last week amidst the station’s format change to yet another Top40 station, and his workaholic ass has decided to immediately start pumping out free daily podcasts. Probably to keep the head of steam rolling on the expanded following he’s been enjoying. After listening to the first two, I gotta say I’m pretty excited about it. There is a major potential for sweetness here being sans commercials, censorship, and bullshit programming directors. Check it and spread it:
edit: for some reason my related posts plugin below grabbed some random iPhone post. But if you have an iPhone you can also get Adam’s podcast directly: Go to iTunes on iPhone, tap search on the bottom, and enter Adam Carolla.
The search box in the upper right of Firefox should be a staple for you. Here are some things you may not have known.
This is an interesting documentary. Entertaining, however I think a lot of it may be BS.

The above was released 6/25/07. This addendum was released 10/02/08:
Leave it to Shelby to blow the [electric car] world out the water with this beast. With 1000hp, top speed of 208mph and a 0-60 of only 2.5 seconds, this thing is sure to get you the company softball game quickly.
The most exciting thing to me though is they have technology which will allow it to be recharged in as little as 10 minutes. So while it has the typically short electric car range of 150-200 miles, 10 minutes isn’t really any longer than you’d spend at a gas station. Long distance travel could be possible.
Isn’t the majority of our electric produced from fossil fuels though? Why haven’t we gotten with that whole nucular thing.

Back in October, Joaquin Phoenix announced that he’s quitting the acting to follow music pursuits:

Ok, but who thought it’d result in this?:
This is pure genius, my hat’s off to the guy. I wonder what the documentary of this “experiment” of his will be like (currently being filmed, by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck). According to an unnamed source, he’s basically admitted it’s all an elaborate gag: “It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it.”

Update1: He claims it’s no Hoax
Update2: His goofy Letterman performance:
I think it’s definitely drugs.
It’s funny that in Seattle they prioritize jaywalking over marijuana.. I jaywalk all the time! I moved here the week after Hempfest but I hear it’s quite the scene. If you click to the YouTube video page, they have a lot of excellent links in the sidebar.
Not sure if this ^ is true, but hemp does have the potential to screw over so many industries if it were just allowed to grow. Drug companies, chemicals, cotton, timber, etc. The ironic part is weed is already America’s #1 cash crop. (See also this about California’s #1 industry, pot)

Trick I’ve discovered in Vista for muting just Firefox, say if you’re playing a flash game with no mute button on it and you want to hear your iTunes..
1: Click speaker icon
2: Click Mixer
3: Put your junk in that box
Not only is selectively muting apps highly useful, but this is also the place where you can permanently change the relative volume of anything which doesn’t have a volume knob.
Addendum 11/12/09: Now Ubuntu 9.10 has come on board with this capability. Right click the sound icon and enter Sound Preferences (or via System->Preferences->Volume Control). It’s on the Applications tab:
Nice little collection of flash games I recently found. There is some quality here. Easy way to waste some time. Brought to you by Gamefly.com I guess. May I recommend Armor Picross 2, Arrival in Hell, and Baseball. See anything you like there? Why not Post a Comment..
This is fascinating stuff, especially the 2nd half. He was a little nerdier back in 2003!
