Why Would We Pay Hillary Clinton to Lose in the Primaries?

Hillary the Undead wants every last penny she can get, even though she already had a bunch of pennies and wasted them on candy.
Barack Obama is asking donors to help Hillary with her debt. Now hold on a minute. If she had just freakin’ dropped out of the race instead of serving up her perpetual encore performance of Hillary the Undead, would she even be in debt? And besides, isn’t half the debt a result of money she loaned to herself? Go ahead suckers. Here’s your “Donate” link. But be aware that the reason she’s laughing so hard in that picture on the left is because she’s on the way to the bank. Frankly, I think it would be a much better use of your money to donate it to someone like me who could actually use it though. So here’s a way for you to donate to my “I Need Money More Than Hillary Fund”. Just click the PayPal button below. I’m serious.

MagCloud lets you start a magazine with nothing more than a PDF file and a PayPal acount.
I’ve always been a bit of a magazine fetishist. Over the years, some favorites have included rags like The Face, I.D., i-D, Wired, Surface, and many more. Lately I like Radar. Although they got a little too fanboy/fangirlish sometimes, they present some pretty amusing skews on pop media. All of our magazine content frustrations are now over, though, thanks to MagCloud. If you can create a PDF and setup a PayPal account, you can start a magazine. They take care of the printing, mailing, and subscription management. The profit model is based on the same idea as services like CafePress. You design the product and (over)price it, they manufacture, bill, and ship. Pretty cool. They’re still in Beta, but don’t be surprised to find a print version of Dissociated Press for sale soon. Read the rest of this entry »

We thought this George Carlin routine on death would be a fitting eulogy. So long, George.
Bless your soul George Carlin, you maniac, you linguistic genius. Here we have George Carlin at his surly best, talking about death:
Building a PC-Based Studio for Less Than $100.00 (Part 1)

Part 1 of a series in which we attempt to set up a usable home recording environment using discarded equipment and free software.
As a musician and former soundman, I’ve typically had mixed feelings about the available PC-based software & hardware for music production. Since I’ve also worked in the business world a lot, my Windows-based computers have often been in the perpetual twilight of late adoption, i.e.: the latest software that finally incorporates features I want is so power-hungry that my system can’t run it. Ultimately, I’ll buy some quad-processor monster with terabytes of RAM and drive space, but in the short-term, I thought I’d try a little experiment: Set up a basic home-recording environment for less than a hundred dollars.
