@GuruScott- KTSB was the pre-KVRX station (UT students), KOOP has always just been KOOP and has always been FM.

History of guerrilla knitting at 24th Chaos Communication Congress

January 3, 2008 9:31am

Pretty cool discussion. Though I hate Knitta, mostly for the whole white hipsters using racist slurs for a cute name nonsense. A very self-important "movement," too. And quite obnxious, to boot.

Sorry, but that's a lazy way to do colorwork and it looks bad to show for it. I've seen a lot of people do internet-meme themed knits, but it was better. I'll have to send links next time I see something.

I just find it interesting that this post only has a fraction of the comments that the Harry Potter/copyright issue does. Sigh.

Sleeptracker Pro Review (Verdict: Works but Expensive)

November 11, 2007 8:00am

I've had the Sleeptracker Pro for several months and the alarm is definitely not loud enough for my deep slumber. Mine was recalled because of a problem with the USB connectors that can cause the watch to get too hot or something. I haven't returned mine yet out of laziness, but honestly, I won't miss it that much while it's out for replacement. I still have to set two other alarms to be confident that I will wake up in time for work.

New York Times: Moondog and Roky Erickson

October 29, 2007 2:14pm

Moondog made crazy and awesome music. I think one of his songs was used in a Lincoln Navigator commercial.

Living in Austin, Roky Erickson is a legend, but I didn't realize how well known he was everywhere at first. While at a record shop in São Paulo, Brazil, the owner (and a friend of Os Mutantes), when we told him where we were from, said, "Oh, do you know about Roky Erickson?" Maybe it was just because he was a psychedelic music fan of the same generation, but it was cool to hear someone in another country associated with legends in their own right ask about a local legend.

No friends yet.
