assorted stuff

• Since this year's Easter drawing sucked (because I was in a very bad mood that weekend) and since I haven't gotten around to uploading it yet anyway, Happy Belated Easter.


• Don't forget Earth Hour today. Google.ca scared me late last night, I thought my computer had screwed up.


• Chord Geometries software for visualizing chord changes. Check out their three demonstration videos of a Chopin piece.


• American Psycho: Business Card Scene. I finally came across this (through PMOG, as it happens) but I heard about this particular scene back in a grad class last semester. One of the students was passing around handouts for his presentation and everyone was feeling up the paper (which he described as the "lingerie of the stationery store"), when the professor remarked on the similarity to this scene in American Psycho.


• Freerice.com: donate rice while testing/expanding your vocabulary.


• Spamusement: cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines. Some of my favourites: Your Dog Will Love It! | HELLO ME NOT DEAD | Guess Who Is Coming To Town | can't beat this...ox | Bad Bunny. Bad, Bad, Bad Bunny | Just 15 minutes and it will be hard as ROCK! | Don't Miss Neil Diamond | I have to get this off my chest before I explode | Better late than never


• pmog pmog pmog ask me for an invitation!


• Trent Reznor recently wrote something approximately like "Thanks for the great response to Ghosts. Let's all go for a coffee. My treat!" on nin.com. Thanks to the Hotline's Meathead, we can all experience virtual coffee with TR. You can say anything you want by typing in the blue text field, and TR will respond in the way he sees fit. You have as much time as it takes him to finish his coffee (number of sips left is shown).
