Friday Thoughts

• I am listening to the book: The Secret Symbol by Dan Brown. It very cool to hear about Washington and how steeped in history and mystery it is. This is a cool 3d rendering of the capitol.
• It's a pitty something so sacredly held by our nation is the home of spineless individuals.
• My coworker and I are currently on an a-ha kick with The Living Daylights.
• Now that I had a somewhat first hand dealing with the NFL and their 'copyright' to the word Super Bowl... all the advertising for 'The Big Game' sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Read my story here...
• I'd say that probably 25% of downtown Decatur is vacant. This is saying something because downtown Decatur is a VERY busy place. No one can keep their small boutiques (or whatever) open in this economy.
• I tried the new(ish) Panada Buffett where the former Home Cookin' and former Fat Daddies bar, as well as the former Rockin R bar is located. Opinion... meh.

Another reason the 80's ruled... the Max Headroom TV Hack

OK, this is creepy and cool at the same time. Back in the late 80's someone hacked 2 television station's signals to broadcast this VERY strangeness.

There are a lot of theories about why and what it's all about. Some say it's just fun, some say it's got messages in it (hacker stuff I guess), and other say he's just drunk. Well, I don;t know but it looks bizarre and has this insidious feel to it. The clip is made all the more better with the TV show being cut into and then abruptly coming back at the end. Of course it's made all the more nerdy since the show it cut in on was Dr. Who.

Enjoy the strangeness.
