Okay it was over a week ago really, but I think I can be afforded some poetic license for the sake of an Indeep reference.
The Internets Celebrities had been invited by Checkmate co-star Ben Popken to attend the first Consumerist meetup, show some of our videos and talk to the crowd. The event was indeed [...]

Girl, that’s a bootyhole

November 11, 2009

Last night Monique hipped me to this. But as with most things meme-worthy, it instantly seemed familiar beyond even the Magic Schoolbus source material. Had I always known this doctored bootyhole clip? I may have been born knowing it.

“What’s that?”
“Girl, that’s a booty hole!”
“Not a hole Kiesha, a valve.”

As humans we are wired for copying, [...]

Sesame Street turns 40 today

November 10, 2009

The Internets Celebrities owe a certain debt to Sesame Street which turns 40 today. After all, they were first to try the formula we would adopt: plop larger than life muppets and a multi-racial cast in an urban setting to delight and educate young children.
My parents ushered me along to Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact [...]

The Fall of the Berlin Wall was good but Wu-Tang is for the children

November 9, 2009

Sure it’s Big Pun’s birthday (born 1971) and Scarface’s too (1970). But how many of us would know that if not for the internet.
On the other hand my generation lived through two unforgettable November 9th’s.
In 1989 there was the fall of the Berlin Wall. Germany reunited, the Scorpions sang about the Wind of Change, two [...]

Just a few follow-up thoughts on Tuesday’s post and how it was received. Thanks for the feedback on it and for spreading it. It was a thrill to see that kind of reception to the piece.

What’s that blog post worth?

November 3, 2009

This is a #noshots zone. I have a lot of respect for what eskay and company have accomplished at Nah Right and I have benefited from their support from the beginning. That said, Nah Right hasn’t had much value for me as a news filter in years and I haven’t been a regular reader in [...]

A simple Ruby script to follow all your Twitter followers

October 30, 2009

Personally I don’t think there’s much sense to following 30,000 people and I’ve been enjoying Twitter a lot more as I’ve pared down on the number of people I follow. But this little script is just a gesture of thanks to Jay Electronica for making great music over the past three years and for spitting [...]

October 26, 2009

This week in Twitterature, my old friend Chompy Duchamp has been telling an epic tale in separate chapters. On three separate nights he has played bard for us, singing (140 characters at a time) the lesser known details behind the origin of the fabled Minotaur and Theseus, the demigod hero whose destiny also lay in [...]
