Salon.com Sex | The twins thing Greg, a 30-year-old business school student, went dumb when I asked him how he felt about the incestuous connotations in the "Here's to Twins" Coors ads. The look of incredulous annoyance on his face -- it read, "What the hell is your problem?" -- was one I would come to know well. I would also come to know that explaining I have no problem, but am simply wondering why it is that the implicit sexual relationship between twin sisters sits just fine with him, and in fact strikes him as fucking awesome, was not only futile but cruel. I had no idea that asking men to analyze the biological relationship between Diane and Elaine Klimaszewski would be like asking a 7-year-old to analyze the time frame for Santa's worldwide toy delivery schedule.

True story from Hernán (who's new nick name..)
"I used to volunteer at the California Academy of sciences cleaning the Faralon tank. Once, we got to go play with the dolphins that used to be in the big tank. Thei dolphins favorite game was to stick their tail out of the water by the side of the pool and have the human lift them out of the water by curling them (as in wieght-lifting curls) over and over. The reason, I was told after doing it for a while, is that the dolphins liked where the edge of the pool rubbed them...a lot." (..is dolphin fiddler.)

Also, regarding the Disney Channel. When watching Kim Possable, I realized that it not only stared the voices of Ren Stevens from Even Stevens, Raven from That's so Raven, and the older brother from Boy Meets World, but was cleverly put in a two-hour time slot block that comprised of Even Stevens, That's so Raven, and Boy Meets World. Truly the advertising prophets have great insight and power among the peons.

BBC NEWS - Buddhists 'really are happier' They're brains have crazy chemicals? "Tests carried out in the United States reveal that areas of their brain associated with good mood and positive feelings are more active. The findings come as another study suggests that Buddhist meditation can help to calm people. Researchers at University of California San Francisco Medical Centre have found the practise can tame the amygdala, an area of the brain which is the hub of fear memory.
There is something about conscientious Buddhist practice that results in the kind of happiness we all seek. They found that experienced Buddhists, who meditate regularly, were less likely to be shocked, flustered, surprised or as angry compared to other people. Paul Ekman, who carried out the study, said: "The most reasonable hypothesis is that there is something about conscientious Buddhist practice that results in the kind of happiness we all seek."

Saw the Matrix Reloaded. It was the Best Movie Ever. It had a Vampire and an Explosion.
But serously.
It was a more then decent flick. I think people are hating it a bit too much, it's just summer popcorn, even it they want it to be something else. There were kick's and 'splosions, and a lot of cars blew up. I respect that the actors did many of their own stunts, and apricate the fact that the W.Bros. built their own freaking highway for the movie. It did get really heavy handed at times though. It would have ended fine, but noooooooo, let's just...*sigh* never mind, I need not spoil anything big for those not seeing it in the past. I'll probaly see it again. It was intresting how much stuff they didn't need to put into the movie, but did, and was still good. Editing was good.
I feel bad because the preview for "2 fast 2 furious" look really entertaining, kind of like Miami Vice in reverse. Bad Boyz 2 or whatever also looked highly entertaining. I hope that if one faccet of media survieves the 20th century, it's the concept of the buddy pic. God, I love buddy pics...

Digital Genres Conference The conference is based on the idea that digital and network technologies are creating new methods of communication that, like the popular genres of the 1920, allow novel forms of creativity and expression. After a half-century dominated by the mass-media, we argue that it is these new genres - the genres that will preoccupy us on this side of the millennium - that are the true successors to the lively arts of the 1920s. What can slash, blogs, massively multiplayer games, fan fiction, chat rooms, and other popular digital genres tell us about how humans communicate today? And how do they shed light on human meaning making more generally? Could it be that these genres are not just ways for people to communicate in the world, but in fact create whole worlds within which people communicate? The conference examines a wide variety of cultural production enabled by digital technology.

On the noise the Transformers make: "The Transform sound begins as an 8 hz pulse repeated five times for 0.7 seconds each repeat whose pitch can be represented by the absolute value of a declining sine wave, with each zero-to-zero arc of the wave representing one of five cycles of the repetition. The actual value of the sine wave can be modified by factor N which is multiplied into the X value but divided into the Y value, which means that although the actual pitch is largely indefinite, in analog terms when the transform pitch is higher the length of each pulse is shorter, and conversely when the pitch is lower the length of each pulse is longer."

On the memecenter I entered a discussion on weither or not I'd rather see one more x-men movie or a wolverine triliogy. It's a tough question, and I'm still not totaly sure. I mean, the X-movies are solid, Brian Singer is a great director, and the actors are all above par. But to take a chance on a wolvie triliogy would be very intresting. After all, it's not like you don't ever get to see the x-men in it, and Logan's already the main character of the movies. I brought it up to Ian, and we discussed a few finer points, like who should direct, what characters to use, etc. We settled on what I figure is the best idea: going the animatrix route. Nine directors, including John Woo, Ang Lee, Woody Allen, Marten Scorsasy, Spelberg and Lucas, all direct a 15 min. long skech about our fave canadian bub. We can play some for drama, some for action, humor or mystery. Maybe animate a few of them, get the Cowboy Bebop or Ninja Scroll team to do one. Really, how could this fail?

A: I'm friends with Patrick and his wife Wendy, and I know Patrick could nail Spider. So does Wendy, who just cringes in those moments when Patrick begins to channel Spider, standing on tables and proclaiming Spider to be his role model and personal god...

Well, I did it. It said spoilers, but I went ahead and read it anyways. And I regret nothing! This weeks issue of TIME reveled the plot and the SHOCK ending to MATRIX RELOADED, and I must say, it rocks. Really. Me and Ian once theroized a similer hypothetical situation after seeing the first movie, but I never thought they'd go through with anything like it. Honestly, the twist is even better then Vader doing some father-son bonding with Luke.
I really don't want to like this movie this much.

No one knows the answer to that question. In fact, no one has even asked Bush about it."

BBC NEWS | England | Devon | No words to describe monkeys' play "A single computer was placed in a monkey enclosure at Paignton Zoo to monitor the literary output of six primates.
But after a month, the Sulawesi crested macaques had only succeeded in partially destroying the machine, using it as a lavatory, and mostly typing the letter "s".
The project, by students from the university's MediaLab Arts course, received £2,000 from the Arts Council.
Director of the university's Institute of Digital Arts and Technology (i-DAT), Mike Phillips, denied the project was a disaster and said they had learned "an awful lot".
He also denied it had been a waste of money."

Speaking Truth to Superpowers "Over coffee at the Xavier School, Ms. Storm still ponders the meaning of that day. She knows she's different, but not because of her mutant power to control the weather. After all, one of her colleagues looks like a shaggy blue Sasquatch. Another has giant angel wings. Yet another goes by the name “Maggot.”
No, for Ms. Storm, “different” refers to something else: her skin color.
Ms. Grey remembers the battle with Ms. Marrow a little differently. “I can hurl mental bolts with my mind,” she said in her room at the Xavier School, by way of explanation. “Storm likes to take credit for that victory, but we were all instrumental in that battle, regardless of who made the final strike.” As for Professor X's reaction, Ms. Grey said she doesn't recall whom he hugged and whom he congratulated. “That day was all a blur. I’m on a lot of anti-depressants.”

STRYKER'S MUTANT DATABASE This is really cool. The interface alone is awsome. Speaking of which, X2 was great. I had maybe two or three minor problems with the film, but it didn't keep me from really enjoying the film. Allen plays a great Nightcrawler, and he looks even better then he does in the comics. Rouge and Bobby was a little cheezy, but it helped put Pyro into focus. The director did a great job with him, he never had to explain his modivation or thoughts to the audince, it was all clear. The paceing was a little off in places, like when Xaiver said "Now we've got to get to Washington." It distrupted the flow of the movie. Cyclops was also a totaly pansy in this movie, but I'm fine with that. Too bad we didn't get to see more of Peter, perhaps the next film will pull Jubalee, Kitty, and whoever else into the fray. You know who I want to be in the X-Men, but isn't? Xorn. Damn shame too. He's got a microscopic sun for a brain, people. Ah well. Been up for a while now. Castlevania is fun.

I just got up from watching Captain Planet downstairs. It was an intresting episode, that's to be sure, more intersting then the ones that attempt to "tackle issues" with "examples" or whatever. The two extrodnarly homosexual villians (One is a built guy whering nothing but yellow scales, neon short shorts, and a hawaian shirt. The other was a freaky rat man in a purple jumpsuit with pullover pink hood. They live in an extravently decorated underground lair together. One is named Rod Nukem. Do the math, people) come up with what I have to admit is a pretty good plan. They get three nukes, and plant them in North Ireland, Jersulusam, and some city in South Africa. They then give a trigger wristband to a catholitic, a prodistent, a jew, and arab, a black women, and a white male. To be honest, I kind of like the episode, because it involved the crybaby stars of the show to try and get everyone to make up, but faileing hopelessly. It was pretty good, up untill the end when Gaia just steped in and deus ex machina'd everything. Oh well. That's what you get for watching a show staring someone in a green mullet and produced by Ted Turnner.

Desperate for another 15 minutes, Tatu promise to marry each other "We were never faithful to each other. We also had lots of sex with boys."
But she added: "We don't have time for sex any more."
Julia said: "We still live with our parents but we want to move in together now - into a former brothel."
Something's been bothering me about them. Not like in a "I'm worried about Nikole and Tom" way, but in a marketing perspecitve. It started when I read about their Maxim issue. This was odd, as they already did a spread for the Russian Maxim, but something else seems odd. The thin line between them being a pop hit has been soon broken, and I'm a little curious what kind of media abbration this will spawn. About a month ago I stopped looking at Tatu with eyes full of lust and marketing gold, and realized that they represed an almost insidious upping of current westren marketing tactics. Almost so much as to emulate the Japanesse. At that moment, I stopped seeing them when I looked at their picture, and began seeing what dark future could be. 10, 20 years from now, when Tatu is the oldest news on the block, what twisted spawn of marketable plasma will have emerged from their loins? Figurtively speaking, of course. Fnord.

How he battled with Nicolai Tesla over direct versus alternating current (Tesla won, only to see Edison blame alternating current for thousands of electrocution deaths). Forget the perspiration/inspiration ratio--promotion is what gets you in the history books, and Edison was no piker at it. A lot of his legend is just that.

Why Should You Become a Virgin?
We live in 21st century, where the emphasis on remaining virgin is not as strong as it once was. Still, we're all human, and the natural instincts of humans can never change. In some religious societies, including Muslims, Hindus and many others (societies which constitute 57% of the world's population), a girl who loses her virginity before marriage gets divorced after the first night—if she is lucky enough not to receive the death penalty. This situation reveals a very obvious point: that men respect and prefer a virgin girl to a non-virgin.
Because we live in a modern and more liberal society, your husband may not reveal to you his anger and sadness if he discovers that you're not a virgin; but forever after, he'll experience the pain of distrust in his heart, and you will never be able to win all his trust. Never!
