2008 Jul 07 06:26 (#3912.11573):I haven't had time to read the above speeches yet but I wanted to share Anil Dash's unique view that Bill Gates has in some sense leveraged an across-the-board corporate tax (in the form of Microsoft software) which the Gates foundation is now returning in the form of philanthropy. Interesting perspective.
2008 Jul 07 06:15 (#3907.11572):It's like the irresistable force vs the immovable object.
2008 Jul 02 03:37 (#3906.11534):Honestly, I enjoyed listening to the most unwanted ONCE but the rapping soprano and singing kids are really quite awful. Actually, I found myself thinking often that it sounded a lot like kids music (also mostly awful). On the other hand, I didn't especially LIKE the most wanted song but it is probably unobtrusive enough to fit easily into the BOB lineup.
2008 Jul 01 10:47 (#3905.11508):Also, unrelated, mrflip has a block where he can't stop switching the letters from Vanalyn to Valanyn. Which personality letter do I win for pointing that out? Is there a "dickish" personality letter?
2008 Jul 01 10:43 (#3905.11507):I took that question to mean "Would you choose to go to a movie if you knew it was going to make you cry?" I think there must be some types of people out there that enjoy feeling powerful emotions. I am not one of those people so I answered a resounding no.
2008 Jul 01 10:39 (#3906.11506):I should stress that the Most Unwanted song is quite painful but not in the way I expected. It isn't just unpleasant screeching like Metal Machine Music. It's hard to explain how it is unpleasant but it just incorporates a bunch of little things you would never choose to listen to into one opus. If you're going to push through it, which I suggest you do, you will find yourself laughing because it's kind of tongue in cheek. My favorite part is where the little kids sing about Yom Kippur, Ramadan, and Wal-Mart.
Also, the Most Wanted song is actually pretty bad but in a completely middle of the road bland way.
2008 Jul 01 10:02 (#3905.11504):Well somehow I didn't even come close when I listed opposites earlier so cheers to me! And they say that sleep is an essential part of human existence, pshaw. I think I've proven my point. Wait, what?
2008 Jul 01 05:02 (#3905.11494):zieglerfe: Maybe losing interest right away is a core component of your personality!
beckto: We now officially have our first complete opposites in you and Vanalyn. Congratulations!
2008 Jul 01 04:57 (#3904.11492):Holy crap that is hilarious. Didn't catch what the link actually said until I clicked through.
