New York DJ and remixing artist Steve Porter has made something cool.
Watch Rap Chop, a remix of Vince Shlomi’s Slap Chop infomercial. After you’ve watched the Rap Chop video, be sure to watch slap chop just to see how masterfully Steve Porter remixed it. Steve has made all of his source files available on his website so you can slap your own troubles away :-)
Our very nice server at… argh, I don’t remember the name! it’s 1/2 north of Javalencia on Valencia… she made these for us. I requested a unicorn with a rainbow and Michael Shiloh requested a dog :-)
She was cool.
Today I formally declare a new addition to the list of Good Words. These are words that bring a smile to the young and old alike. Former inductees into this list include “Thwack!”, “Pseudopod!” and of course an old favorite, “Mukluk“. Today let it be known far and wide that the following word is officially Good.

I concur!
From the site:
Since trying Michael Menkin’s Helmet, I have not been bothered by alien mind control. Now my thoughts are my own. I have achieved meaningful work and am contributing to society.
My life is better than ever before. Thank you Michael for the work you are doing to save all humanity.
Make yours today!

This is on my x-mas wish list.
When I look at this image, I can -hear- something. Seriously. It’s weirding me out.
It’s like I can hear the flip-flopping of the nand gates in my brain. Not really a buzzing, more of a rythmic humming.
