This is how I play Minecraft now. →
Throwaway account, can’t have you server admins all over me :)
I got bored playing Minecraft, building this, building that, mine mine mine for hours on end. I found a way to totally change things up. Hear me out, because this is technically griefing I guess…
The SMP server I’m playing on is a role-playing server of sorts, it has an economy and a rather large central town. In the centre of town is a large statue type structure made entirely of solid gold blocks. Passing through town one day I decided that I’m gonna pull off the greatest gold heist in the history of Minecraft (probably not the greatest, but I’m thinking large here).
So, I’ve spent the last week putting all of the pieces in place for this to go down. Some players on the server like to build things for other players in return for gold and diamonds. I am slowly building an underground army of players, and none of them know my true intentions. I’ve got one guy working the underground tunnel to my exact specifications (right underneath the booty), another guy collecting intel on the players that hang around town (to work out their patterns and where they live), and another guy who is going to run interference when it’s time to burgle town square. All are under contract and know nothing of each other or of my own goals, and they are all sworn to secrecy.
I used to build structures. Now I build underground criminal networks.

Laver’s Law of Fashion
James Laver was a museum curator for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from the ‘30s through the ‘50s. He was also a fashion theorist and historian who conceived Laver’s Law — an attempt to make sense of the fashion trend lifecycle.
Here is Laver’s Law:
I agree with this, although, when I try and visualize my wardrobe, I don't like it.
Reality Bites
Troy: My parents got divorced when I was 5 years old, and I saw my father about 3 times a year after that. And when he found out that he had cancer he decided to bring me here and gives me this big pink seashell and says to me "Son, the answers are inside of this" and I'm all like "What?" and then I realize that the shell is empty there's no point to any of this it's all just a...a random lottery of meaningless tragedy in a series of near escapes...So I take pleasure in the details...a Quarter Pounder with cheese...those are good. The sky about 10 minutes before it rains...A moment when your laughter becomes a cackle and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.

Quote with 4 notes
Without thinking, Kaye turned right and found herself in the religious section. Most of the shelves were filled with brightly colored apocalypse novels. The E-paper holograms leaped from lurid covers as she passed: endtime, rapture, revelation, demons and dark angels. Most of the books had speaker chips that could read out the entire story. The same chips replaced jacket copy with vocal come-ons. The shelves murmured softly in a wave, like ghosts triggered by Kaye’s brief passage.— Darwin’s Children, by Greg Bear
Must find copy of this now.

Those three things-autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward-are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying.Outliers

Clerks
written by Kevin Smith
Chewlie's Rep: You're spending what? Twenty, thirty dollars a week on cigarettes....Fifty-three dollars. Would you pay someone that much money every week to kill you? Because that's what you're doing now, by paying for the so-called privilege to smoke! ....It's that kind of mentality that allows this cancer-producing industry to thrive. Of course we're all going to die someday, but do we have to pay for it? Do we actually have to throw hard-earned dollars on a counter and say, "Please, please, Mr. Merchant of Death, sir; please sell me something that will give me bad breath, stink up my clothes, and fry my lungs. ....Of course it's not that easy to quit; not when you have people like this mindless cretin so happy and willing to sell you nails for your coffin....Now he's going to launch into his rap about how he's just doing his job; following orders. Friends, let me tell you about another bunch of hate mongers that were just following orders; they were called Nazis, and they practically wiped a nation of people from the Earth...just like cigarettes are doing now! Cigarette smoking is the new Holocaust, and those that partake in the practice of smoking or selling the wares that promote it are the Nazis of the Nineties! He doesn't care how many people die from it! He smiles as you pay for your cancer sticks and says, "Have a nice day."

In 1991 Honda offered the 4th-generation Accord and Civic, the Legend, the Integra, the CRX, the NSX, and this brilliant Prelude Si. Best product lineup anywhere, ever?

Ghetto
RAWDRUGRAPS: Billy introduced me to my new favorite blog, Ghetto Myspace. Comedian Dan Goodman posts the hoodest pics he can find on Myspace. Highly recommended. R.I.P. Murda.
I wish I could be this ghetto
This is...
I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be. I thought maybe I wanted to be a writer… but I hate what I write, and I tried taking pictures, but John’s so good at that, and mine are so mediocre… and every girl goes through a photography phase, like horses, you know dumb pictures of your feet…
This is me, except I'm not female.

On wayward benches
“The sad little bench is deployed on West Avenue in Saratoga Springs, affording excellent views of four travel lanes plus one stacking left-turn lane and finally the Medical Arts building surrounded by its parking outparcels. The purpose of the bench is not rest for the weary traveler, for nobody ventures out here by foot. Nor is it a bus stop. It’s there to provide the illusion that we are interested in a humane daily environment.”
From the eminently quotable (though somewhat crazy) James Howard Kunstler.

The significance of a dream, we’re told, has less to do with its overt drama than with the details; a long time ago it struck me that the same was true of real life, of what passes among us for real life.

How it Works | The PC Decrapifier
Simply download the file and run the EXE. There is no installer. If you have anti-virus software installed, it may complain about this program because it is written with a scripting language. These warnings can be safely ignored. Please see the FAQ for more details.
Running the Program
After you run the EXE you will be guided through the process with a "wizard" style series of questions. You will have the choice to pick and choose what you want to remove. It will not begin removing anything without prompting you first!
Click the images below to see a screen shot of various parts of the process.
Additional Commercial Version Features
The commercial version has the additional ability to automate itself. If you would like to include the PC Decrapifier in another script, you can pass additional parameters on the command line. The parameters are as follows: Usage: pc-decrapifier-CU.exe [/h] [--verbose] [/autoremove ] [/autoremovespecific ] [/l] [/f]
/h, --help show this help message /autoremove: Specify to remove either ALL or DEFAULT only items that were detected. BE CAREFUL! Specifying ALL may remove anti-virus, security and office software! Example: --autoremove default /autoremovespecific: Automatically removes all items specified in /l, --list Outputs possible programs to remove to pc-decrapifier-list.txt. To be used as input for autoremovespecific /f, --feedback Automatically provide feedback to pcdecrapifier.com without prompting

pc-decrapifier-CU.exe --listNext, open up
pc-decrapifier-list.txtwith a text editor and remove anything you do NOT want the PC Decrapifier to look for. The file should only contain items you wish to remove if present.Finally, run the PC Decrapifier with your modified list file:
