Salesmanship

From a woot.com product description:

We can throw around terms like “four inputs” and “80 watts”
and “built-in subwoofer” all day, but what good are such bloodless
phrases? Let us put it this way: either the MAINStage Sound System will make your TV, DVD,
iPod, Xwiistation, or laptop sound way, way better, or we’ll drink a
12-oz. glass of our own urine. That’s how much we believe.

How does anyone not love woot?

This made me laugh out loud. The text, that is. The concept is awesome, and no laughing matter.

"what the shit is this?"

Too many awesomes to count in this clip here, but I will add that I've seen this movie at least twice and I didn't ever notice the massive, massive microphone creepage going on. I think my noticing it now is an unfortunate effect of seeing it in this small size, where you can see pretty much the whole image without moving your eye much. Anyway, I could have sworn this was the scene in which Dolemite utters the famous words, "Those aren't my furs", but I guess I was wrong. Please enjoy.

To see it in a bigger size, go here.

yes I realize that last one's up twice. one has the video, one the still. Didn't mean for em both to post, can't decide which of the two to delete. So they're staying.

You know what I like? I'll tell you what I like: guys who play guitar who have pictures of guitars around in the space where they play. It's as though they often get to the room and are like, "Hmm... now what did I come in here to.. ah! That's right! Guitar!" and then they get going.

I have a new tiny graphics tablet

Jenny's awesome mom, Denise gave me for my birthday the macally "icecad" mini graphics tablet. How Denise osmosed that a graphics tablet was up by the top of my things I want to get list, I do not know, but this one's very nice and allows me to do drawings like this one here. And so the world may now finally move forward, assured that it's need for fine art will no longer go unfulfilled. Drawing is fun.
The device is allegedly for mac only, but in europe it's marketed as mac or windows and if you go to the company's european webisite you can find all the drivers you need to make it work on your xp machine.
The things a little squirrelly yet, but I only tinkered with the settings for 2 minutes before I had to rush into photoshop and get the vision you see above out into the world. I'm confident the little thing and me will get along just fine. Thanks, Denise! Well done, you crafty lady.
