Knowledge Without Mileage = Bullshit

This Sunday I'm off to the River City to see the aging alternative icon, Mr. Henry Rollins, himself perform what I'm sure will be another fantastic spoken word show at the historic Walker, or I guess that should be Burton Cummings, Theatre. I've been looking forward to this show since before Giftmas.

Not only is Henry an icon of the American Hardcore Punk Scene from the early 80's, fronting State of Alert (exactly, who?), Black Flag and the Rollins Band, but he's also an accomplished writer, business man and actor. You should check his stuff out, his spoken word is definitely not what one would expect from tattooed, thick neck punker who used to have to fight with fans at shows. The video above is one of his rants from a spoken word show, if you liked that one there are several others on YouTube.

This might not be the most up to date information, but it's public service announcement time, and no this isn't a message to let a select group of affected people out there that they need to go out and get tested right away, this is about a different kind of viral infection. Turns out that the digital photo frame you bought at Costco, and a couple Costco related retailers, in a convenient 100 pack this Giftmas just might be infected with a sweet little virus . . . and since they came from China they're probably covered in sweet and tasty lead based paint too. What a great gift, off your kid and your computer with one tool.

Now it's time for a different PSA, this one for the geeks out there who'd like some religion but can't pull themselves away from their MIB Ewok action figure with the plastic cape on a Sunday morning but still really need to get their pray on, according to this article the Church of the Jedi has reached 400, 000 members. The force and the assmar is strong in these ones, yes.

Here's something that I thought was pretty cool, and trust me I know cool, Hollywood films done in the style of classic Russian woodcuts, and yes there is a Star Wars one in there. Recognize any of the others?

And now it's time for a little fun, according to this website I could take on 23 five year olds in a fight. How many could you? And yes it is a contest.

And that's it for now, I'll leave you with a couple sweet rap videos, here and here, about a being a regular everyday normal by by comedian Jon Lajoie. Watch out for the language.
