Trackon: Tracking the trackers.

Linked to by TorrentFreak, this is a tracker tracker. In other words, it checks how a number of public trackers are doing, allowing you to know if the tracker is down or if your PC is just messed up.

ragbag:

pocky men’s

because you know, as far as pocky goes, i prefer the variety that is specially formulated for my penisness.

is this a marketing thing (like luna bars and the dictionary of the khazars) or just another case of engrish?

Honestly? I think this could go either way.

Aachi & Ssipak - 7 Minute Fight Scene

“Aachi & Ssipak is a 2006 animated South Korean film, directed by Jo Beom-jin and featuring the voices of Ryoo Seung-beom, Lim Chang-jung, and Hyeon Yeong. It screened at the 2007 Seattle International Film Festival.” - wikipedia

The synopsis, via Wikipedia:

Sometime in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have somehow engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. To reward production, the government hands out extremely addictive, popsicle-like “Juicybars”, which in turn also act as a laxative. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading black market Juicybars. Through a chain of events involving their porn-director acquaintance Jimmy the Freak, they meet wannabe-actress Beautiful, whose defecations are rewarded by exceptional quantities of Juicybars. For that reason, Beautiful is also wanted by the violent blue mutants known as the Diaper Gang (led by the Diaper King), the police (most notably the cyborg police officer Geko), and others.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Savitri

After listening to Hanuman on Tuneage, I bought the album. Someone in an IRC channel uses Savitry as his/her username. So I’m sticking this up for them. It’s also a wonderful track.

rocketboom:

“Mounted on a 9″ marble base is a small brass cannon, and above that a magnifying glass. The positioning and focal length of the lens would be designed to light the cannon’s fuse. The placement of the sundial suggests that the device was used to mark the arrival of the noon hour (on sunny days).

This intricate device was custom-made for someone living at a latitude of 59 degrees, 55 minutes, 20 seconds. My guess would be that the recipient lived somewhere in St. Petersburg, but other locations are possible.”

Tee of the Day: “Who Is Watching” by Warren Hart.

Hart’s “SFL” tee did so well as a first-time TeeFury submission that he was quickly invited back to peddle his fan-favorite Rorschach/Hope design. The insta-classic tee is available — today only! — for $9 and an Internet high-five.

(Internet high-five optional.)

Planet of the Hats

Planet of the Hats:

dailymeh:

My home world is very much like this one. It’s populated by billions of bipedal primates, who are just like people here: sometimes foolish, sometimes wise, sometimes hateful, sometimes generous. They are grouped into cities and nations, and sometimes they have wars, and sometimes they cooperate. You really would have a hard time telling our two planets apart, except for one thing.

The hats.

My people are obsessed with hats. Almost everyone wears them, and a lot of their identity is wrapped up in their particular style. Some people always wear cowboy hats, for instance, and others wear bowlers, and each think the other is exceedingly funny-looking, and would never consider switching. They have elaborate ceremonies for their children in which they confer the hats, and kids often go to special schools once a week where they learn about the history and significance of their hats. Everyone has the importance of hats drilled into them from birth to death.

The particular type of hat was critical. Individuals only rarely changed hat styles, and when they did, it was considered grounds for sorrow by those who wore the abandoned style, and cause for rejoicing by those wearing the newly adopted style. Sometimes people would invent new kinds of hats, which were typically regarded as bizarre when one person was wearing it, but once a sufficient number switched to the new style, they were respected automatically. It meant that streets of our more cosmopolitan cities were filled with strange and comical hats bobbing along, but no one laughed. Laughing at a hat was considered a heinous crime.
