The internet is not a big truck.

Watch Jon Stewart rip the Alaskan senator, who is chairman of the Senate commerce committee, on his ridiculous inability to explain the way the internet works. Classic.

Edit: The link above is dead, but I found the clip on SpikedHumor.com!

Also, have a listen to DJ Ted’s Techno Tubes Mix. Senator Stevens, your 15 minutes begins now.

UPDATE: A Series of Tubes: The Trailer. [link] Will the fun never stop?

IMG_0040Great idea that grew way too fast. Shame, too, because I really liked last month’s schwag…well, compared to this month’s.

July’s June’s goods included stickers (3), a pin, a keychain, a fortune cookie, a tee shirt, a frisbee ring and a poster. The tee and the snubster sticker definately felt a little depressing. Hear that, snubster and simply hired?

Apparently the schwag was a little short of women’s XXL tees and the folks there requested I send them a substitute size (which was nice), but then they sent me something different (which was not, but it still fits, so we’re square).

I’ll stick it out for another month or two…see if it all shakes out okay once the schwagsters get the hang of this.

Click on the pic to see the annotated version on flickr (who it would really be cool to have some schwag from!).
