Your beloved,
Pyr0clasam !
Tshirt plz?
Having everything digitized will make it oh so easy to control the minds of the future. Does Farenheit 451 come to mind? We need books, newspapers and magazines. Because all some evil person has to do is shut off the electricity to shut off the minds. Think about it. Long live vinyl.
It’s part of the Visa Commonwealth Games ads.

You’ve got to admire the power of that closing finger snap!
thanks for another great episode!
Since Apple started using the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Windoze can be ported to the Mac. Why anyone would want to is the question.
A Documentarian™ I know sent me this link featuring 3 cool videos on 6 Degrees of Separation and the science of Network Theory. It’s really quite fascinating. Fire up your neurons and enjoy the ride.

Yeah, those images are part of the “support can make all the difference” visa advertising campaign for the 2006 commonwealth games.
Clemenger BBDO are the advertising agency responsible as seen on their site here, was unable to find the specific designer’s name though.
I would like a T-shirt. But I’d prefer a night on the town with Evil Joanne.
First round is on me. Last round, too. We can arm wrestle for the rest.
Steve Rubel is an idiot. There will be newspapers, magazines and books as long as
there are toilets.
I know a famous writer who says if he can’t find anything else to read in that
situation, he whips out his driver’s license. (See Lazarsfeld’s theory of
media uses and gratifications, 1948.)
Or as Linus Van Pelt famously said: “I like a newspaper because I don’t
have to dial it.”
I have seen all the goodies being pushed by the mega-chain bookstores as digital
alternatives. None of them will do. Ever. Not until you can toss one in your backpack
as you would a paperback and head out into the wild places, without worrying about power sources or breaking the damned thing.
What I note most about the “life in 2008″ piece is the willingness, nay
eagerness, to turn everything over to a central computer. I doubt you’d get
much support for that idea any more. (Thank you, George Orwell.)
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once. ~Albert Einstein
Hey cool send me your laptops! =D Y N E 1 would wanna’ always stare down like a horse @ some dark boring black and white squiggles when they could instead look straight ahead @ nice bright colorful cheeries is beyond me!

You’re a fucking idiot.
It’s interesting how it’s usually the retards incapable of speech who say insane ‘kill-the-messenger’ stuff like that. Thank U very much tho’ 4 taking the half hour U must have required 2 figure out how 2 string 4 words together, & find somebody 2 help U type them =D
What do you mean, she is beautiful.
Thanks for the link to Modern Mechanix! The full text of James R. Berry’s “40 Years in the Future” is great, and I have a feeling I’ll be spending a lot of time on this site.
What happened to the promise of domed cities and flying cars? Rocket rides to hotel satellites?
These two paragraphs seem relatively on:
“The single most important item in 2008 households is the computer. These electronic brains govern everything from meal preparation and waking up the household to assembling shopping lists and keeping track of the bank balance. Sensors in kitchen appliances, climatizing units, communicators, power supply and other household utilities warn the computer when the item is likely to fail. A repairman will show up even before any obvious breakdown occurs.
“Computers also handle travel reservations, relay telephone messages, keep track of birthdays and anniversaries, compute taxes and even figure the monthly bills for electricity, water, telephone and other utilities.”
I agree. The only positive of electronic books is that you can carry an ungodly amount on a single memory stick with storage like it is today. The problem comes when you read it; you’re still stuck with reading off a screen, which is tiring to the eyes very quickly.
Classy…
November 18, 2014 a day that will live in history or even herstory.
U need 2 adjust yer’ screen ;) I know what U mean tho’ - LCD especially look like absolute poo unless U dial it in just right. Also the saturation is absurd - U gotta put it way down usually ’round 3-5% so looks natural instead of ‘posterized comic book’.
I’m curious what U consider pretty. Please post a link! =)

Johanna you’re intelligent and cheerful.you’re Nr.1!!!
i believe she said the tee shirt went to the first person to prove their identity.
I can attempt this.
I have an email. i had to put a series of numbers and letters to make sure that i was human, and now i have an email. the fact that i am human means i have an identity an it is in turn mine.
