MacGyver Challenge

Make your own speakers out of Altoids tins and some playing cards:

Over the weekend I put together a remix of Mindblower — a song by fellow dirtcheaper Niveous.

Martha Stewart

Here are some documents produced by Martha Stewart in response to her recent sentencing.

This one is a classic. It suggests that she deserves less of a sentence, due to all the wonderful charitable acts that she’s done — like giving cocoa to the parents of children that appeared on her show:

Here is the letter she sent to the judge after the sentencing. The only funny thing about it is that she admits to reading American Poultry Association literature.

Quote

I just read this quote, and it seemed relevant to my music:

If a thing isn’t worth saying, you sing it.

Oh yeah. This is why I’m not a Democrat.

They’re whiny, humorless, politically correct babies.

the Purple One

I’m going to see the Prince concert at the Meadowlands tonight.

I’m really not much of a concert goer, but I’m really looking forward to this. Prince is one of my all-time favorite artists, and I keep hearing that this is one of the best shows I’ll ever see.

Hopefully the seats will be worth the $200 I spent on them!

In Martha Stewart’s post-sentencing comments, she appeals to the sci-fi lover in all of us with the words: “I’ll be back”.

I personally would have preferred “Come with me if you want to live” or “Hasta la vista, baby”.

Save the tough talk for the other cons, hoebag.

Anyone who’s using dry toilet paper, you’re really not doing yourself the true service.

Uh.. thanks Will.

I may be grossly undervaluing the true service, but I think I’ll stick with the dry.

Get jiggy with it!
