"Call to Bloggers" to stand up for freedom ahead of world meeting on future of Internet

Come back Jon!

Well, it's a sad day for me today.

YouTube is no longer going to allow copyrighted material. Which is a shame. Where am I going to get my Daily Show from now? Although I hear you can get it from the Comedy Central webpage. But it's so funny. I can't wait until it's legally put up on the internet.

I think intellectual property should be free for all. Unless it's mine. Then you better pay up you stealing bastards.

Number 300 Million: Latino newborn Los Angeles boy

I wonder what number I was. Of course number 200,000,000 went to Harvard. He had the perfect entrance essay. I wonder if 300,000,000 will be as successful? Maybe he'll move back to Mexico and change his citizenship. Ahh, the future. (and yes, I'm assuming 'Latino' means Mexican. Proove me wrong 300,000,000, prove me wrong. I hope that's what his parents named him.)

300,000,000 is a lot of people. Australia got excited when it hit 20,000,000 a couple years ago. That's less than tenth of my motherland and barely a fraction of China's 1,600,000,000. This may be the most amount of zeros I've blogged.

So the question is, if you take 300,000,000 and divide that by 1,600,000,000 and then divide 20,000,000 by the result, what do you get?

Sticky Date Pudding Blog

Since I keep this one so up to date, Adam and I have started another blog:

http://sticky-date-pudding.blogspot.com/

Because the desert is so yummy and sticky. I love it and it's not even chocolate. Or cheese.

Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah

Seriously though, this is pretty cool -

A chinese chick has beat Oprah and it's for doing something environmentally sound.

I am impressed.

puppetry of the penis

I normally try to avoid posting China stuff, but I just couldn't resist this one:

"...And does it have any particular potency? "No. People just like to order tiger to show off how much money they have."
Welcome to the People's Republic of China - tigers beware...

..."Oh yes," she adds, "the same group also ate an aborted reindeer foetus..."

But really though, if I still were in China, I'd be blocked from reading this BBC article.

(Also, I would like to not-so-subtly point out my tie in with Australia via my title.)

My Summer Exercise

So I've decided jogging is overrated and I urban acrobatics looks much more fun. I hope the music is playing the entire time I'm doing it. Do you think I should take a lesson first?

Blast from the past

Pajama-Rama in Shanghai

honor bound

A couple years ago, my rant de jour was that if America banned gay marriage in the constitution I would change my citizenship. Which is still true. But now that extends to the new interpretation of torture. Making someone feel as if they are almost drowing or freezing to death is so fucked up, that I shouldn't even have to write about how wrong it is. But yes, if that is allowed or continued to be allowed, I'm out.

Also, in semi-related news, I went to see the performance "Honour Bound" this past weekend. Absolutely stunning. If it leaves Australia, or if you're in the area, I highly recommend seeing it. It will never get to America though.

I don't take these quizes until I get the answer I want

You Belong in San Francisco

You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You're half California, half NYC. You're open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you're the best. People may dismiss you as a hippie, but you're also progressive, interesting, and rich!

Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?

Soy Chai Latte

Is there anything better in terms of warm beverages? I don't think so. Maybe hot chocolate sometimes. Tea is good as a base, but it doesn't normally make me happy in a way chai or hot chocolate can. I don't drink coffee. I'm having a soy chai latte as I type this. And I'm reasonably happy.

Reasonably?

Well it is Sunday night and I have class and a meeting with my supervisor and I was just doing some assignments, etc. Which is all fine and good. I don't even know what I'm blogging anymore.

I hate when people blog about their actual boring lives. Like the fact that chai makes them happy and they're giving you an up-to-date account of what they're drinking at the moment. Fucking annoying.

I learned how to fold cranes. There will be a new release soon concerning that. If I get around to it. And I have another project I'm working on. But that one is taking a bit of time. Not much effort, but definitely a fair chunk of time. It may be released before the crane. It depends on if I get around to charging my batteries for my camera or not.

So anyway, other than that (just had another sip of chai, fyi) yeah class, etc. Planning a road trip at the end of the month. Not like I've been keeping this blog up to date (no -'s this time) or anything. So by reading this, all it looks like I'm doing is surfing youtube and torturing birds.

Pretty much.


I bet it would make you happy if you drank that.
