Sick of this life
Not that you’d care
I’m not the only one with
whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands, quite why we’re here
We’re searchin’ for answers
That never appear

But maybe if I looked real hard I’d
I’d see your tryin’ too
To understand this life,
That we’re all goin’ through
(Then when she said she was gonna like
wreck my car…I didn’t know what to do)

Sometimes I feel like I’m beatin’ a dead horse
An I don’t know why you’d be bringin’ me down
I’d like to think that our love’s
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you’d think by now
I’d be smilin’
I guess some things never change
Never change

I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin’ tells me he’s been here before
‘Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I’m a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me

Sometimes I feel like I’m beatin’ a dead horse
An I don’t know why you’d be bringin’ me down
I’d like to think that our love’s
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you’d think by now
I’d be smilin’
I guess some things never change
Never change

I ain’t quite what you’d call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o’ times
But now the dust is startin’ to clear
Oh yeah!!!

Sometimes I feel like I’m beatin’ a dead horse
An I don’t know why you’d be bringin’ me down
I’d like to think that our love’s
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you’d think by now
I’d be smilin’
Ooh yeah, I’d be smilin’
No way I’d be smilin’
Ooh smilin’

Sick of this life
Not that you’d care
I’m not the only one
With whom these feelings I share

Jump out of a plane wearing a pair of wings and a jetpack.

Head Banger. Get the stress out without doing yourself physical damage.

Sammy the singing Birthday Cake.

Pinball machines used to make art. Pinball and other amusment machines refitted to make art. Interesting concept.

Soon to be mine.

Extreme Gravity – Soap box racing taken to the next level. Corporates with lots of money having fun really.

Firediving Not sure is this for real or not.
“Fire diving is when ateam of Scuba or Skin Divers compete with another team on how many divers they can have scooped up by either a helicopterbucket or the scoop of a water dropping airplane”

Terraforming – The Building of Osaka Airport. Way cool pics of the airport appearing in the middle of the sea.

Not the Bladerunner illuminated umbrella. The Bladerunner ones were cool. This is naff.

Opening Hooks – The start of a cool book. Interesting idea. Some great first few lines of books there. The bloke running the site needs to intergrate this with amazon to make a tiny bit of cash.

Had loads to post and then my pc crashed so lost loads of links.

Bjork the Pirate. Yarr ! Great interview with this unqiue human.

Economist reviews the Book “Company of Strangers”.

Furl – Online bookmark thing. Kinda like Delic.io.us I guess. Just started using it and testing it.

Lycos specific search for forums and discussions. Results aren’t too bad. Minor UI tweaks are needed.

LiveJournal Attention Whoring

Gridcosm. I really love these art applications. There is going to be a fascinating future the more art and tech blend and morph together. Here’s the blurb:

How it works: Each level of Gridcosm is made up of nine(9) square images arranged into a 3×3 grid. The middle image is a one-third size version of the previous level. Artists add images around that center image until a new 3×3 grid is completed, then that level itself shrinks and becomes the “seed” for the next level. This process creates an ever expanding tunnel of images, the newest level a direct result of the previous level which is a result of the previous level… and so on.

Tricks of the trade. Various tradespeople disclose some of their tricks. Some interesting bits. I like how if you use the word “rendered” instead of coloured the architect could charge four times as much.

Nintendo Underwear. Just so WRONG.

Meeting Point. I mentioned before a Gaydar for phones thing. Looks like someones made a start on it.

Bunny of the Month. Bit pricey for €35 a month but well creepy/cool.

Jason Byrne asks Richard Pryor a question:

Jason Byrne: You talk about Muhammad Ali in your latest DVD and how frightening it was to be in the ring with him. But do you reckon you could beat him now that the two of you shake like maracas?

RP: That’s your fuckin’ question?

Extreme Democracy – some excellent essays on this. I’ve already read Joi Itos Emergent Democracy Paper.

Can a human see a single photon ?

I really love retro watches. Check out Watchismo.

Lots of linkage on this update.
That quote above is by Damien Mulley. Might be a good first line for a short-story.

Now I can close some tabs in Firefox.

Monitor Perch for Cats

A sink without the basin in it. It’s just a slab with a tap above it. It’s so cool.

Brandons Arms. Help a kid shut down a nasty gun company which makes guns which only seem to be used for criminal purposes.

Sprawl: a typographic map of Belgium. ‘Sprawl’ is based on urban planning maps and the density of population in Belgium. The basic shape of the letters is the same so that when you type they can lock into eachother. The letters are filled in by relating the frequency of use in the dutch language with a corresponding density. — Yeah.. Odd.

Nice quotes. Such as: “Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.”
