    best multi protocol IM for mac?

    I'd gladly endorse Adium, it's excellent and one of the few clients where I've found that adding a theme or plugin actually makes it more useful.

    AIDS: conspiracy or reality?

    So your positive evidence is based on widely discredited books and anecdotal evidence about friends who have tested positive for HIV but haven't (yet) shown evidence of full-blown AIDS? How come the most vicious deniers of AIDS are those who are HIV-positive or in a high-risk group? You've...

    Thin White Duke

    He had two Grammy nods this year, so he's far from obscure (one for remix, one as a producer on a New Order song). Recently he's become notorious for making danceable tunes out of indie/guitar hits. Even made a decent effort on that Coldplay wankery, although that'd take more than a good remix...

    paramilitary fashion - rant

    Anyone else see the bombardment of press for this book a while back? From what I've heard it's partially a shill for camo fashion but also has a lot of the history and military use documented.

    Nick Kilroy

    Are those first few in Baton Rouge? If so, I walked right through there a couple times around that time when I was in town to visit a friend...

    Has Anyone Been Watching Weeds?

    Reasonably well-written yet mildly insulting all the same. Rather than sidestepping all the obvious issues of a suburban housewife dealing in order to maintain her lifestyle while dealing with her suppliers, customers, etc. it's fairly out in the open -- but not at all serious. There have been...

    50cent - Official Lapdog of the Right

    50 Cent has a story of redemption? That's stretching it. From the BBC article: 50 Cent turned his back on a life of crime to pursue a career in the music business. If anything, he's dropped one money-making venture when another proved to be profitable. There's even the (possibly apocryphal)...

    PC Heads - PCIe or SLI graphics?

    I may be wrong, but isn't SLI just a reference to multiple graphics cards running in parallel? In other words, the motherboard has to support it by having two of the same slots. I think all of the new cards supporting SLI are PCIe.

    Michel Houellebecq

    I read some accusations that his work contains racism and sexism, but to be honest, it's so one-dimensional to be laughable. I don't know if it's intentional, but the "controversy" seems more fleshed out than the actual issues. Without spoiling too much, the "racist" ending to Platform seemed...

    Media credibility

    I attended a film festival tonight showcasing "lost" films -- mostly those created that either showcased an independent media or alternative views -- definitely an indymedia feel to the whole thing. I really liked the selection, but a thought struck me while watching a video clip of police in...

    The Photos of Nick Kilroy.

    I'm not sure if anyone's noticed by now, but it's possible to get a directory listing of images for the whole site, including the zabriskie point images. There are a few I've never seen, including what appears to be some alternate Junior Boys covers that didn't get used. I felt kind of guilty...
