In the interests of self-promotion and public amusement I've syndicated my videos from Buzznet over here to the elljay. They are available at:

buzznatz_video

It's just a clickthrough with a thumbnail, no embedding.

I'm going to start putting more of my music/pop culture/review crap up, and I'll be doing so on Buzznet. If you're on Buzznet let me know and I'll ATTACH YOU. I am http://ignatz.buzznet.com/

If you don't want to look at Buzznet and it makes you cry like a Santorum kid and you hate it and me and freedom and puppies and pizza, I made a syndication:

Autoweek is the leading U.S. newsweekly for automotive enthusiasts and the industry.

I syndicated three of Autoweek magazine's new RSS feeds:

autoweek — Latest headlines and breaking news

autoweek_sports — Motorsports news

autoweekreviews — Vehicle reviews

Enjoy!

Current Mood: calm

This is mesmerizing:

Grafik Dynamo is a net art work by Kate Armstrong & Michael Tippett that loads live images from blogs and news sources on the web into a live action comic strip. The work is currently using a feed from LiveJournal. The images are accompanied by narrative fragments that are dynamically loaded into speech and thought bubbles and randomly displayed. Animating the comic strip using dynamic web content opens up the genre in a new way: Together, the images and narrative serve to create a strange, dislocated notion of sense and expectation in the reader, as they are sometimes at odds with each other, sometimes perfectly in sync, and always moving and changing. The work takes an experimental approach to open ended narrative, positing a new hybrid between the flow of data animating the work and the formal perameter that comprises its structure.

For those who might be interested in the links I'm bookmarking but who do not use delicious themselves or read this via feedburner, here is an LJ syndication of my delicious posts:

Public health dorks and others interested in issues of disease, public health, and complete and utter pants-filling terror may be interested in the

mmwr feed I just created, which is from the Centers for Disease Control's canonical Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The MMWR summarizes various aspects of doom in the U.S. and elsewhere and has other articles of interest.

torgo_x has kindly made an RSS feed for the OC Weekly, which is syndicated here as

oc_weekly or available to your feedreader at this RSS link.

The new Stephen Colbert show has an rss feed which is syndicated at

I get an RSS feed of the craigslist personals, two categories. This is a fine use of technology to help me find future stalking victims.

A lot of the posts on craigslist personals are from prostitutes or something close to it, and those posts get yanked. And there are also the usual Internet weirdos who will use anything as a message board, including one guy who keeps posting about how he doesn't like fat girls, and people who get trolled by him and post things back at him. And all of these posts come out as individual personal ads too, and then get yanked.

About a week ago, I started seeing dollar amounts in a lot of postings. They'd say things like "Viet girl in irvine looking for LTR - $28". I wondered what the hell? Were they all prostitutes? And if so, why so cheap? Had Mr. Troll managed to break in somehow and insert prices on all the women to make some more trouble?

I finally clicked through on one today and "Work too much? No time to find a nice lady? (OC) $24" turned out to be "Work too much? No time to find a nice lady? (OC) - 24". For some reason the feed is prepending a dollar sign to all the ages of the personals posters.

So, yeah, that's the story of how bad character sets in RSS feeds ruined my dream of cheap sex in Orange County.
