I fixed unicode support and made a new mixtape!

This one is of my top songs of 2008 that I haven’t shared previously.

The command-line you’re looking for, to turn your laptop into ghetto noise-canceling headphones:

$ sox -t alsa hw:0 -t alsa hw:0 vol -1

Sadly, latency is a killer. And, unless you manually spin it down, the required gain will pick up your internal hard drive’s spinning platters... and make a freaky feedback effect.

These earplugs aren’t enough.

This is, apparently, frustratingly hard for some people (not you, of course) to understand.

Exhibit 1a (White People)Exhibit 1b (White People)
White People (1a)White People (1b)
Exhibit 2a (Black People)Exhibit 2b (Black People)
Black People (2a)Black People (2b)

None are simple cases of affluence or success. Those are the results of radically different socio-economic backgrounds.

So, can we please stop talking about black and white people?

But what about racism toward black people?I already commented.

I wish it wasn’t necessary; but, this issue arose in the draft’s review. The sort and order of the above were and have remained randomized. I got the same dose of progressive brainwashing as you.

“Merry Christmas!”

Some people have already been told via my favourite social network.

I quit Facebook a while ago. This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.

A little bit ago, Max logged in on my laptop to show me his pictures from our recent dumpster sledding foray. He then left me with the request, “don’t mess with my profile too much.” So, I decided to surf around...

In less than five minutes, I pressed the logout button. The appeal was completely gone.

Up to this point, I had hedged my bets. But, now, I’m certain I won’t be going back. Don’t take this as me begrudging your use of nouveau-AOL, though.
