A favorite song of mine, but I’d never seen the video… Here it is for all y’all…

What a story, huh?

I really like “Don’t Stop Believing”, and this version is killer… The “Guilt By Association” album has been one of my favorites for the past few months, finding this video was fortuitous…

Who’s Embarrassing Themselves on the Internet Today?

This is weird.

You are a trophy wife. Your husband, who is a major Broadway theater operator and a quarter century older than you, decides to divorce you. Since you signed a pre-nuptial agreement before you got married, you have no means for supporting yourself, and your future looks pretty bleak.

So, how do you make the best of a very bad situation? Post a video of yourself on YouTube, where you tearfully recount all of the abuses you’ve endured, slander your former spouses’ sexual prowess, and then call up his office and start screaming at the person on the other line!

NES RBI Baseball reenactment…

Perhaps the most infamous moment in all of baseball… This is the entire bottom of the 10th inning from game 6 of the Red Sox/Mets 1986 World series… I can’t even begin to guess how long this took the person who did it…

Joscho Stephan

I’m not a huge fan of Gypsy Jazz (which is to say I’ve never given it a chance), but I am a fan of great guitar playing in general. This kid (I say kid as he is in his early 20s) has some major skills… This is Joscho Stephan doing his version of Bossa Dorado and keeping me entertained enough to watch it at least 10 times…

How’s your Operating Thetan Level Today?

The feature story within this month’s Radar Magazine is about the Church of Scientology and the underground internet group that is taking them down. It’s interesting to see Scientologist opponents taking this tactical course, since the cult religion has been so clever about diverting criticism and using its massive resources to silence critics.

Here’s how the attacks on Scientology began (from the article):

On January 21, a video titled “Message to Scientology” appeared on YouTube. A brilliant work of agitprop, the video (embedded below) features a monotone, computer-generated voice speaking in staccato against a mesmerizing backdrop of gathering clouds. The message, which bears quoting at length, is ominous:

“Hello, Scientology. We are Anonymous. Over the years, we have been watching you. Your campaigns of misinformation, suppression of dissent, your litigious nature: All of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who have come to trust you has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed. … We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”

Within hours of the video’s posting, all hell broke loose. Almost immediately, the Church’s main website, scientology.org, went down under a distributed denial of service attack, a classic hacker technique that overwhelms a target’s website with phantom user traffic until it crashes. Scientology offices worldwide were flooded with prank phone calls and so-called black faxes—pages upon pages of blank black pages—tying up their phone lines and emptying ink cartridges. Dozens of proprietary Church documents—videos, lectures, and course materials worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in Scientology’s pay-to-pray scheme—beganshowing up on YouTube, BitTorrent, and countless websites.

Here is the video in its entirety:
