A Public Service Announcement

Pootie Tang, one of the funniest and most underrated movies of all time, is on Hulu for free. If you have not seen Pootie Tang, watch Pootie Tang. If you have seen Pootie Tang, you have probably already clicked that link and are anticipating seeing it again. Good on you.

PS: Did you know that Louis CK has apologized for writing Pootie Tang, because he views it as so unsuccessful? That is the very definition of tragedy.

Now, I’m no pitch man. But I would like to point out an iPhone app that has made a demonstrable difference in my life. This is Daily Deeds, a really simple little fella that lets you check off the days you do tasks. It’s not a novel concept, I’d first heard of the system from some dude named Jerry Seinfeld:

After a few days you’ll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain.

In my case, I had never flossed two days in a row… UNTIL NOW. Tonight marks the 38th consecutive day, noteworthy because it was the first time in my entire life that I’d ever flossed without bleeding. Seriously, that rules. Thank you, spoonjuice.

Yeah, well, those of us in the Crocker Amazon/Excelsior/Portola/Visitacion Valley/Bayview/Hunter’s Point/Ingleside/Oceanview/Lake Merced have our own charming maps that reveal secrets you’ve never even dreamed of. Ever enjoyed a little thing called the San Francisco Garbage Dump? The Jehova’s Witness Convention at the Cow Palace!? Daly City?!?! I didn’t think so.

“One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast… a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.”

In ” Ptooie”: Princess Peach, Ptooies Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Piranha Plants walk on their roots, somewhat resembling Ptooies. Super Mario 64 begins with a letter from) is Princess Peach inviting) Mario to come to her castle for a cake she has baked for him. But if ever there was a game that fully showed off the Super Nintendo’s Mode-7 scaling and rotation features, it’s this one.

This game features the Super FX2 chip which allows for incredibly smooth vertical, horizontal and diagonal scrolling, as well as multiple foregrounds, multiple backgrounds, scaling, rotation, zooming, tons of special effects, huge characters and even bigger bosses! Super Mario is a classic game about a moustached plumber Mario.

- From the Super Mario article on cpedia, the new automated encyclopedia from the folks who brought us cuil. I have yet to find an article on cpedia that was even a little useful, but at least they’ve all been entertaining. $33M in VC money goes a long way in creating incredible gibberish.

I don’t mean to be harsh, but what on earth is this thing and how is it the result of many intelligent minds and a lot of resources?

Also from the cpedia article on cuil itself:

Best Web Hosting Offer Cuil launches with an index of 120 billion web pages making it a most comprehensive magic! Affiliate Secrets search engine on the web and also a potential try to get the Google competitor. Clickbooth Cuil but not avail due to flooding traffics and making their servers ‘too hot’ to handle. After googling Cuil is down at the moment to ‘cool’ down.

sleepoversf:

We’re trying so hard to avoid wetting our trousers over this: our new theme, Rank & File is now available as part of the new Tumblr premium theme system! We also set up a sample site for your demonstrative pleasure. Thank yous are in order to Tumblr for asking us to participate, it’s terribly exciting. Feedback is always encouraged.

This’ll be my handiwork and I’m ever so proud of it. I’m really excited about the paid premium theme system that’s being introduced. Tumblr might be my favorite thing to design & develop for and it’s going to be great to be able to set aside time for it.

The Greatest Story of All Time Ever

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:11:00 -0700

A few days after Marlon Brando’s death in July, at a gathering of his friends and some of his 10 surviving children, a fellow actor, Ed Begley Jr., stood up to speak.

Clenching his jaw and mumbling his lines in the style of the man who practically defined acting in the last half-century, Mr. Begley recalled being summoned to Brando’s home a few years ago to talk about an urgent project.

Assuming that he wanted to collaborate on a film, Mr. Begley eagerly made his way to the Brando estate on Mulholland Drive here. The veteran actor revealed his idea: to acquire thousands of electric eels, from which he would harness energy to power the needs of his daily life.

” ‘We’re going to run the house on the eels,’ ” Brando said, the pitch-perfect younger actor recalled. When Mr. Begley, slightly stunned, responded that he did not think it could be done, Mr. Brando murmured, ” ‘Everything’s no with you.’ “
