  1. Greg Bear's novel Moving Mars had an artificial intelligence named Alice as one of the characters. Speaking of AIs, how about Gigolo Joe from the movie A.I.?
  2. essential reading: http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/letter-to-emily-white-at-npr-all-songs-considered/ thank you for your time.

  4. a tumblr blog of various nerd girls cosplaying Leeloo: http://leeloo-cosplay.tumblr.com/ thank me later.
  5. Perry Ellis was awesome back in the '80s. then they changed their formula and went to shit. I can kinda tolerate Drakkar, but not enough to actually buy some. all the others are horrible...and the makers of that Axe shit should be put to death.
  6. I thought they had one decent song - "Dead Body Man," and that everything else was/is a waste of time and effort. having said that, I have to give 'em major props for coming up with what amounts to an entire way of life that's sucked in so many people. They're pretty much the Grateful Dead of hip-hop at this point, and I have no problem with them fleecing the easily duped. Hell, the Dead did it with almost equally shitty music for 3 decades.

  8. ...and the cover-up's in full effect. see how they try to explain these stories away: http://io9.com/5917918/these-live-stem-cells-were-recovered-from-a-17+day+dead-human-corpse http://io9.com/5917803/set-of-disembodied-lungs-found-lying-on-la-sidewalk
  9. It does seem to be on the wane as far as picking up new listeners.
  10. read this. now. http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/12/12172042-is-flame-virus-fallout-a-chinese-russian-plot-to-control-the-internet?lite
  11. I don't know if this is good news or bad for the WWZ movie; I fear the latter: http://screenrant.com/world-war-z-movie-reshoots-delay-sandy-176652/
  12. but wait - there's more! http://wilwheaton.tumblr.com/post/24010082320/zombie-apocalypse-coming-soon
  13. depends on the city you were in. Detroit didn't allow food trucks downtown until sometime in the last 12 months; I think the change was actually not long before the baseball season started. If the same ordinance applied to other areas of the city, it probably wasn't being enforced. Sandwich trucks used to work downtown Pontiac back when more people actually worked down there. No idea how Garden City did it. The few articles I've read on the subject concentrated on the Metro Detroit cities that are entertainment destinations - downtown Detroit, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Novi, Wyandotte, Plymouth and Ferndale. For whatever reason, Pontiac and Mt. Clemens weren't mentioned, even though they have lots of nightlife. Kinda off-topic, but last I read ( maybe 2 years ago) open grills/fires of any kind were also banned in downtown Detroit. That seemed to have something to do with the EPA and overall air quality issues in downtown.
