I noticed something very peculiar last night. I saw a link on Reddit which said “The DHS edited my freakin’ blog!”. I clicked on it and it linked to a post on a blog called Stolen Bikes Ride Faster: The musings and adventures of a secretly insane (but not necessarily mad) scientist.
The original post was […]
A girl at the Cambridge Free Culture/Free Software dinner last night told me that this existed, but I thought she meant some kind of remix type thing, but no, this is actually the legendary free software crusader Richard Stallman ’supermanning that ho.’ This is too ridiculous not to post.
As YouTube commenter str8gangz13 put it, “lol […]
Here’s a classic piece of internet lore which I recently rediscovered, The original Crypto-Anarchist Manifesto.
A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy.
Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange […]
My insane housemate Dmitri from Korea/Kazakhstan/Texas/”If Sebastian Bach had a country, I would live there” just showed me this amazing footage of a protest-turned-riot from Seoul, South Korea on September 29th, 2002. I’m a huge sucker for riot porn, and this is probably the best I’ve ever seen. Notice the giant flamethrower. But at the […]
The BUFC Blog is up and running, and our first meeting will be this Thursday. Check the blog and the flier for more info!
I’ve got a couple of articles I really want to write about international torrenting and about possible improvements to the Science Commons, but I’m really bogged down by school and Star Trek […]
Beardvember is almost here! From the manifesto:
It is our mission to unify and beautify men through the common objective of obtaining a full beard throughout the month of November.
For one month, we shall let our facial hair grow as it was intended to. It is not a contest, but a celebration of the privilege we […]
If you’re nerdy like me, you’ll probably appreciate the fantastic webcomic XKCD (if you don’t already).
One particular comic happens to mention geographic coordinates, a date and a time. The coordinates are for a park in Cambridge and the time was 2:38, Sept. 23 (today). Hundreds of nerds flocked from all around the world (!) to […]
I found this 80s hippy art poster in the basement of my new house. I like it. It reads:
the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto
PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that
ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEUMS & the
RICH. ART IS NOT BUSINESS !
It does not belong to banks and fancy investors
ART IS FOOD . You can’t […]
Right now I’m working as a courier. That means I spend pretty much all of my time in my car delivering rich people’s mail while listening to music or audio books or the radio. This morning I was listening to ‘Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane’ on WHYY, my local NPR affiliate, and as usual it […]
Andrew Keen is basically in disagreement with every single thing I stand for. He’s apparently opposed to giving the masses the ability to produce art and share opinions, because he claims that hurts those who do the same thing, only with corporate backing. Although I agree with him that journalists should report the full […]
