Man I’m really looking forward to next week: we’ve got super duper fun time scheduled to commence in the Upper area of the Peninsula, and then I’m jetsetting off to fashionable Indianapolis to attend Gen Con for the first time in years and years. The UP should be fun; I was hoping to go last year but had a conflict. This year our good friend Lawman made plans plenty in advance, and I get to attend at least for a few days. I’m looking forward to Lake Superior, watching people fly fish, coding some Ruby, golf, drinking, and gambling. Gambo gambo.
What will I do at Gaming Mecca? I have no goddamn clue; I didn’t sign up for anything so I guess I’ll walk around and see if anything strikes my fancy. They’ve usually got board games, video games, RPGs, TCGs, and more there so I shouldn’t want for activities.
Finally, I’m making a trip out to California September 6th-12th so anyone that wants to kick it: there you go. I’ll be available for BlazBlue sessions, ruby hacking, and all-around nogoodnickness.
where is the whazzmaster anger for the cash for clunkers program? you could have traded in your SUV for a smart car and sold that to cal and pocketed the $4,500. i’d say “my tax dollars”, but money isn’t real… fiat currency. backed by nothing. the government is just handing it out. my savings will be useless. time to start killing people.
here is some madddddd anger for you: directv runs ads where the fictional cable company runs a meeting where the gay guy from best in show comes up with an idea: “directv doesn’t offer 1,000,080p resolution” “looks like someone just leveled the playing field”. BAH. WANT. TO. BREAK. TV>@#$O^(&!)(#^& BUT NOW, fucking old ass comedian guy who did a fireman show is on eluding that if the power goes out, and you have cable, YOU’LL MISS THE BIG FOOTBALL GAME!!!!!!!
mother fucker, last i checked the directv receiver ran on electricity.
looks like someone leveled the playing field.
i’d be very happy if tomorrow every american corporation’s headquarters “leveled the playing field”. maybe with a bomb.
if i see either of those fucks in public i will knock them out, and stand over them, “looks like someone just leveled an asshat”
I’m on a highway to heck!
i wish there was an army you could join that pledged to only fight on america soil vs other americans that disagree with them. and not faggy politics… i’m talking about getting REAL shit done.
i just got an email from my congress representative about the new health care bill. my response FTW: “fuck your mother’s face, you spam spewing cunt.”

Madd, I think you might like Proudhon. Here is a bit from his essay What is Government:
To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.
I don’t understand business or insurance, but I do understand that nothing is free. This healthcare thing sounds nice and all but it’s a “for every actions there is a reaction” or however the fuck ever that law goes.
Example, my pa owns a biz and he will be forced to provide healthcare for all his part time employees. That will cost him half a mil a year. He doesn’t have that, so he has to cut employees or pay them a lot less. Free does not equal free. Middle, high middle, regular middle, skittle.
Funny thing from work: someone typed a bunch of hate at some spam and hit “reply all” sending it to all of us.
Sometimes I get cold emails from book salesmen wanting me to order their texts. To tempt me, they offer me BS “review payments” if I use their book. They want to give me a hundred bucks to make my students order thousands worth of texts. Pffft!!!!
Weird thing: if I ever ask where they got my email, they get really pissed and defensive saying it’s on the public website. And I’m not mean or anything when I ask. Sales: barfiest job ever.
Funny thing from timmer: back when he was in the loan game, part of his job was cold calls. His boss would give him a list and later timmer would tell his boss that he made the calls (but he didn’t).
Madd, did you see Miss March?
no, but i have hard 8 in my hands. watching tonight.
is MC horsecock.mpeg a real thing in the movie? that should get him some exposure on the p2p networks.
government was created by man. man > government. i ain’t scurrrrrred.
fill a tennis ball with black powder and screws and dip it in epoxy a few times. $2 grenade.
the military is so intimidated that they won’t call it a “bomb”… it is a bomb, but it isn’t made with the latest materials regardless of cost, it’s made to minimize cost while achieving similar results. so the military calls it an improvised device. aren’t all bombs improvised? anyone that ever calls a bomb an “IED” is a fag.
strap that thing to a big bertha rocket from gary’s hobby center with 4 D class estes engines and i suppose you have improvised exploding missile flying boom boom system. IEMFBBS. THEY’RE EVERYWHERE)@#&*^)!(#^&)!(*#^&)!(#&^
Well, I await your Hard 8 thoughts. I thought it was good, but I had one gigantic flaw. I’ll wait until you are done to talk.
MC horsecock.mpeg is real. Miss March looks lame but it’s made by the Whitest Kids You Know and it’s deceptively watchable.
my pa has similar issues with retarded government programs… the dishwasher has been working there since before the new building… so like 1995. 14 years as a dishwasher. she has kids and i think some sort of mental something wrong with her, but i never noticed it. she was funny and personable. she works like 3-4 hours a day because if she worked any more she would lose her government health care and additional benefits that are like double her paycheck. she wants to work more, but can’t unless she wants to make less.
government programs should never keep people down. bombs do that already.
I take exception to your characterization of government– glibertarian fantasy horseshit.mpeg. Grow up and enter the real world where real people live.
where people know how to make and use bombs. the real world is where real people die. is a government that delays that death denying it’s people access to a real world?
I don’t even know how to pronounce Proudhon, but his juvenile rant is catchy.
here is the real world: fuck with me, i blow you up.
I don’t mind reading anarchist texts. Anarchy is not realistic but it serves as a nice reminder that every dump doesn’t need to be recorded in the poop log.
people who deny the existence of anarchy will find that their reality becomes anarchy.
… but only if there is a gary’s hobby center in their town…
I thought humans were supposed to be civilized– not blowing shit up because someone taxed your Yoohoo and spaghetti 2 cents.
civilized: n. capacity to define what what “fuck with me” means, in regards to “i blow you up”.
Whazzmaster, are you arguing with me, prudy or madd?
tax me $0.02 and i use a $2 bomb and i’m out $1.98… i thought humans were supposed to be logical.
tax me $0.02 and i know you’ll tax me the same 100 more times, suddenly the bottom line turns black, but still obviously not justified.
tax me $0.02 10,000 times a day, and something has to go boom.
relativity.
humans are currently in wars justified by governments. how is that possible?
no one argues with anyone on whazzmaster.
every post is a punch to your own face
ouch
gary’s hobby center rc car racing video! i used to race mine there… still exactly the same 15 years later… i was there when they changed it from a flat carpeted maze course to the cement oval. my fucking dog bone shaft would always bust off… i bought the best engine but didn’t upgrade the tranny or axles. always buy those first… but generally if you buy that first the added beefiness will slow your car down more using the old engine… so you need both at once… but i’m just hustling a paper route and that shit would bust me. electronic speed controller?! R U JOKING?! MAYBE WHEN I’M RICH!
if i could get any one thing at gary’s hobby center, it would easily be this. you can get head’s up display glasses for it too. not sure i’d rather have a helicopter… they require a lot more power / eat a lot more gas, but they can stay on a target. i’d be very nervous to go out of camera range though… really you’d need a second spotter and he continuously points to the plane in case your eyes go out. it’d be super awesome if you could buy relay hubs and put them up every half mile in a grid (every 5 blocks) (specs say 1 mile, so assume half that will pretty much guarantee clean signal) that would take up a few more channels in the spectrum… not sure what they are using or how many are free, but if you had a whole city networked, and software that didn’t allow them to crash or run out of gas and had a “fly home” feature that could run off GPS or just the camera… well if you had a booth where i could go fly one and you charged like $20 for 10 minutes, i would pay it in a second. the opportunity for this business is new. the technology is just maturing. the only factor in the way is fear of crashing… if the planes can be made with a backup rotor to hover in place for 10 minutes until a rescue chopper can come snag it out of the air, i think no one would have a problem with it. the software will keep people within a “safe fly zone”. people would call their friends WHERE ARE YOU?! WHAT INTERSECTION?! I’M ABOUT TO BUZZ YO STANK ASSSSSSSSSSSS!@$!@% SHIPE IT! $20 for 10 minutes. $40 for 30 minutes. that should be about max flight time. automatic landings should be as simple as a cone shaped “safe fly zone” so once you enter it will steer you towards the vertex.
i wonder if the video could be transmitted using an iphone app… compression would be the issue, if the camera does compression on the chip, it might work if the latency is under .1 seconds. the controls could use a second phone and utilize audio tones to transmit 4 channels with super low latency… i think audio is lower than data, but i’m not positive. this is why i hate platforms on platforms… this will all come down to latency, and that can only be minimized if there is a single platform layer.
the second i have a working autonomous prototype, i bet angry people show up at my door with suggestions regarding my future.
how about this, build a batter powered plane with video / audio / gps transmission over cell phone towers that flys to addresses entered into the projects website, it should have a range of over 100 miles per charge… then you have 50 people sign up along a path and the gps controls the thing to fly to the next stop, and that guy plugs it in to recharge and takes it outside and it automatically goes off on it’s way.
until then there is already kits for 26.5 kilometer range control and audio/video at better than old cable tv standards with .025 second latency. costs 1050 euros though… i think that is like 3k

listen to the shit cause i am the ill figure.
remind me to tell you about me and bananas some day
fjdkajfdklajfkldajfkldajfdklaj boring boring boring whazzmaster. i would tell you the bananas story but it’s too tedious. so let me just say fjdlakjfdklajfkldajfkldajfdklajfdklajfdklajfdkl. friends, how are you?
just got back from 4 days in vegas… broke them off sumthin proper. 4 days is too much… but i didn’t die. legs are pretty spent… jay has a pedometer for work that gives him bonuses on health insurance or something… we averaged 15 miles a day. spent most of that walking up and down the strip hollering “PRETTY NOT BAD” at dimes.
john holmes != john hughes
nobody does it any bigger than this.

better updated your wordpress homie

wwhazz: i watched hard eight after i got back from vegas… glad i waited. they captured the gamblin city motif perfect. it was just like i was right back in it.
1) the comps system doesn’t work like that
2) no one ever lost
3) at the end dude only checked jimmy for money in one pocket and it was way less volume than the 6k he handed him earlier that was all 100s. plus dude put 2k on the hard 8 and hit so should have 20k now. did he lose it all? he seemed to be celebrating a lot. i guess even if he only had 2k left, it was still 2k more than he had yesterday. but why wouldn’t dude check the other pockets? distracting.
4) the twists were somewhat lazy and cliche but so is a gamblin city motif. i thought phillip seymore hoffman was going to turn out to be seymore as a younger man. that scene was awesome, but they never showed them in the same shot. i assumed the other unshown old man who bet the 2k hard eight first inspired seymore to make the same move later just like it did to jimmy. maybe that is how it went down.
oh shit, his name is sydney not seymore. find. replace.
like sydney was flashing back in the cutscenes regretting what he said as it now applies to him and eventually taking the same action as the old man he insulted did to decidedly win their battle of wits.
actually i regret implying his actions were insulting… it’s total passive aggressiveness, but pushing the limits as far as a skilled artist can. it’s perfectly reasonable to expect an older man to require more time to perform the same task as a younger man… the younger man says he will wait. that is very polite. understanding. accepting. what a nice guy. not insulting at all. that’s respect.
also sydney was so sure the wife called the cops, but then later after hearing that the guy was walking around town like nothing happened, sydney acted like that meant everything was ok.
yo going to play hooky on today and go see district 9! i’m scurred bc of all the grossness i can’t hang with that stuff but i will just shut my eyes and think of the scientist. will report back homies.
yo! a fucking plus!
we saw it last night too. very good, but the propaganda and ties to modern events were a little spoon fed. as we were walking out, 3 13 year old boys were discussing the movie on their way out. this is what one said word for word:
“ostensibly this is about the apartheid already existent in south africa”
fucking nerds. EXPLOSIONS!
he might have said “rampant” instead of “existent”.
