Rules for a concert

The other night we went to the Shiny Toy Guns show up in Park City. They were playing for free as part of the Sundance Film Festival. It was beautiful, they blocked off main street and there were a few thousand people stuffed in the road crowded around the stage.

There were some rookie mistakes committed by most of us at this show which is why I’ve compiled this list of Rules for a concert.

Who Started Nerdcore?

There has been quite a bit of buzz around Nerdcore latley. For those of you who don’t already know what Nerdcore is, it’s basically geek rap. Guys rapping about their favorite star wars character or whatever else.

Guys like mc chris(this is also an example of what Nerdcore sounds like) have been featured in channels less nerdy than the internet. Aqua Teen Hunger Force had him on playing the part of MC Peepants.

So now there are some documentaries (Nerdcore Rising) on Nerdcore (Nerdcore for Life).

Anyway, there’s a lot of stuff about how MC Frontalot started Nerdcore. Of course he did coin the term but I think we should recognize some of the pre-Nerdcore rappers that were rapping about things nerds cared about before MC Frontalot gave it a name.

I think this perfectly sums up the internet, the blogosphere and politics. Take a recent story on slashdot. The story is about a woman who entered a water drinking contest to win a nintendo Wii. Some people don’t know this but you can actually die from overdosing on water (and no, Hyperhydration it is not akin to drowning).

Simple enough but here is a comment from a slashdotter. Probably a troll. I actually dont have the source because the author removed it but basically he said that Nintendo should be held responsible because they created an artificial scarcity for the Wii to make more money and now someone is dead because of their marketing strategy.

If I have to explain to you everything wrong with that idea you probably shouldn’t be reading my blog.

BUT, feel free to stay :) Everyone is welcome, please, bring your friends. Maybe just the cute one.

Cartoon Characters

I often feel like my life is like a cartoon except life is less exciting and when I die I can only come back 3 times. Anyway, in honor of Katie Here is Gary and I both as South Park characters along with the real thing. See if you can tell which one is real and which one is the cartoon. These things are pretty realistic.
