In my on-going attempts to properly undress stoner rock and bring it backwards into my bedroom, i have stumbled upon perhaps her finest maiden yet. I’m talking buckets of goat blood upon the inner sanctum of that which is most unholy kind of shit. This is it, folks. Behold, Earthless!

I was reluctant to post any Batman related posts (well, until after I see it and will be most certainly compelled to get my digital fawning into overdrive), but I came across this article on Fandango that was just too cool not to pass along. It takes you on a short tour through the different spots that were used in Chicago and tells what they converted them to for the Dark Knight. As a lifelong Chicago native it was quite a treat to read and has kept my fanboy nipples properly tweaked for tomorrow’s screening.

Batman!!

A few security holes in Mac OS X are already known, such as the unpatched ARDAgent vulnerability. But that’s not where the principal Mac security threat lies. From interviews with security experts and corporate IT managers, it’s clear that security concerns and potential risks are much more quotidian — exactly the kind of bread-and-butter stuff that is easy to ignore, especially for Macs, where IT’s familiarity with the Mac is slight because users have typically managed the computers themselves.

It’s time for IT to figure out where the Mac’s security holes are so that you can plug them before your corporate knowledge starts bubbling out. Here are the six main flaws you should focus on.

Hey Kids,

Check out Cap’n Fatty Goodlander, the salt stained sea gypsy. He’s a natural born world shaker, hell bent on freedom. A nautical Whitman methinks, a beautiful man and a true libertarian.

I was 10 years old and watching the NBA All Star game. My favorite player was Dr.J. who would go on to be the the MVP of the game, but what I remember most was my 10 year old white South Dakota mind swimming in mystery at the sights and sounds of Marvin Gaye’s version of the national anthem. Sexual Healing was a big hit at the time. And this game was being played in Inglewood at the forum in LA in 1983 a urban area rife with racial tension.
Now when I see this I tear up a bit. Marvin stopped touring a few months later. He spiraled into paranoia & depression. He moved into his parents home and became a recluse. His father shot & killed him in a fight they had in April of 1984.

God Bless you Marvin Gaye for freaking out all us ignorant white folk on a Sunday afternoon in Ronald Reagan’s America. May you rest in peace.
