Browsing the blog archives for June, 2008
This is a post from the old blog. I liked it and I moved it to its new home.
Led Zeppelin. They’re back… and they’re a real band. I’m listening to the reunion show, w/ headphones, and… I just got lost in the groove… like w/ Zep. Jason Bonham is doing a remarkable job of honoring [...]
This movie (Magnetic Movie) is very cool. It features footage from inside NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, with actual recordings of magnetic fields, and scientists explaining said fields. Most of the footage of the actual corona and such are CGI, but their shape and actions are not. It’s a nice 4 and half minute [...]
Score one for clean living, I guess. James Patrick Page (all hail!) was given an Honorary Doctorate (in Hermetic Studies… just kidding) by the University Of Surrey. Why? Because he is all things to all people, that’s why, apostate! So there you go kids. Study the occult, do drugs, bang teenage girls, and all this [...]
The quill from a buzzard, blood writes the word.
I want to know am I the sky or the bird?
Hells boiling over, and heaven is full.
We’re chained to the world, and we all gotta pull.
(We’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground) – Tom Waits
It’s a wild life. I’m at least halfway through it, and [...]

I can’t wait to see what kind of hits I get with a title like that. I’ll probably have to do another post about the interesting search terms people use to reach youdopia. I also have a hard on for the Squidbillies , so you’ll probably be getting a bunch of phoned in YouTube clips [...]
Another legend is gone. George Carlin died last night (Sunday, June 22) of heart failure. I discovered him in the eighth grade, when I stayed home from school and listened to my parents comedy records. I heard Class Clown and things were forever changed. That was my baptism into counter culture/ALT thinking, and I loved [...]

What more need I add. It’s a great pic, and a great lolcat. Hail Basement Cat.
I can’t even really pretend to understand this story, but it does strike me as being the dog’s bollocks. The photo and the video below are of a super short burst of light. How short? Well, short enough to photograph the entire wave form. You can see the beginning, middle, and end of the fucker. [...]
Click the pic to an article about the Ferranti Mark 1 computer, a consumer version of Baby 1, one of the old room filling, vacuum tube monstrosities. The music sounds about what you’d expect. God Save The King, and a snippet of Glenn Miller’s In The Mood. You can hear the melodious strains by clicking [...]
The reasons that this is funny are manifold. Yea, verily the Nords and the Germans can’t help but be a little creepy… what with all the genocide and reindeer hearts. However, this is HIGH lar i us. HERE is why this is relevant to we Youdopians. It all started with Rockabilly Week.
It is primarily funny [...]
This one is going to be flooding inboxes for awhile. The clever ones that are still cute… those are the ones that get you. Nose!
I like shipwrecks. When I was a kid, and I would read from the giant pile of National Geographic magazines in our living room, I always loved the articles about sunken ships. Whether they were World War 2 hulks, or doomed galleons, I loved them.
The HMS Ontario was a British ship from the Revolutionary War. [...]

I don’t know if any of my blogging brethren ever check their stats, but… maybe you should. I’ve got some interesting search terms topping the list, every day. These are the actual words that people typed into Google (or whoever):
“One Charming Motherfucking Pig” (note the quotations)
super cool shit
st. georgeous
craziest shit of the year
oldest biblical [...]

They say if you get far enough away, you’ll be on your way back home.
Maybe. I have a job making almost five times more than I ever have. The downside is that it’s sporadic. The upside is that it’s fucking easy.
More to follow.
Neato. Finally, archaeologists have discovered a first Century church. That’s a big deal, because first Century christians didn’t leave too much evidence, as they tended to expect the End Times as an immediate, looming event. Look at Paul. He was as much Chicken Little as Evangelist. It’s neat though, that this church has been found. [...]
