What’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?
Short answer: YES
Long answer: But it won’t allow embedding, so fuckit. Here’s another video:

Prawn, Squid, what’s the diff, when it come down to the cool factor?
Operation Global Media Domination: the chronological logical
Like anything timed to a clock makes sense!
Here I am trying, seriously, seriously trying to crank my internal clock around to that of a “normal” person’s, and I’m checking the hits at 2:30 in the morning and thinking “well fuck that!”
There’s a reason they called it a Clockwork Orange.
(OT: there’s also a reason Charo’s hits go up at night)
multiculturalism in action: stealing Japadog post!
I’m simply stealing this from Raj, cuz he stole the idea from me. Thus, the Internet comes full circle; no longer a series of tubes, it’s become a series of hula hoops. And I’m not apologizing for the hotlinking, either. At least not till he’s bought me one.
Famous Japadog
Japanese hotdog? Sound appealing? Well it is! On Lorraine’s reccomendation, I took a chance at the hotdog stand on the corner of Smithe and Burrard, close to the Sutton Place Hotel.
So what’s in a Japadog anyways? There’s two varieties that this particular stand sells.
The Terimayo which hosts Teriyaki Sauce, Mayo, Japanese Seaweed and Fried Onions on a 100% beef hot dog.
The Oroshi is composed of special Soy Sauce, Oroshi Daikon Radish, Green Onions on a Bratwurst (white pork) sausage.
I tried the Oroshi on my last visit and look forward to trying the Terimayo next time. Delicious! The Daikon made the bun a bit soggy towards the end tho but upon comment to the ‘chef’ she said that she’ll endeavour to squeeze the radish out a bit better next time. Photos posted below.
TWAt: bloggers as enemies
Say hello to Josh Wolf, the second American I know of to be jailed for blog content (the first was a hapless Middle-American who blithely snapped a photo of the hotel in which Cheney was staying, several years ago. He has since been sprung). Let’s go to the ever-reliable BoingBoing for the report:
Earlier this month, San Francisco-based blogger Josh Wolf was jailed for refusing to hand over video to the federal government. He shot the footage at a 2005 G8 protest in San Francisco.
Details about the video, why authorities wanted it, and why Wolf declined, are here. The incident is the first I know of in which a blogger has been jailed for not relinquishing content on demand.

There are two benefits coming up; one is this Saturday the 19th at Cafe La Boheme and another is Thursday the 24th at House of Shields — and if you can’t make it to either, donate to his legal fund. Our local politicians are fumbling around with little more than two hands and a flashlight trying to figure out what to do, and SFMike is all over it in his deatiled Civic Center post about the supes trying to pass *something* more than gas in Josh Wolf Rules (Kimo Crossman points us to video of this session here). Interesting to note that the SFPD didn’t bother to show up for the hearing, isn’t it? In case it wasn’t obvious, Josh is still in jail for refusing to hand over the video he shot — but he’s not silent, as pal Jackson West is exchanging letters (analog email) with Josh and transcribing Josh‘s mail into blog posts over at The Revolution Will Be Televised. There’s a wiki, too. Josh would love to get mail, so if you still remember what a pen is, drop him a line at:
