This must be my day for posting other people's photos. I'm also putting up some pictures of Eric Ruppel, taken through the ages.

I took Cherie to the Muttart Conservatory, so soon we'll have pictures of warm places.

There's a Christmas rush over at the Mirror Project, where every single schmo who got a digital camera for Christmas is posting pictures. I am one of those schmoes.

Never trust Mac computers. I thought I'd give one a second chance, just like Annan did at Taco Bell a couple weeks ago, and it almost ate my sidebar again.

I finished my entry for the colouring contest on dollarshort.org. Here it is.

If you read See today, you may or may not have seen my Top Ten albums of 2001 list. It? pretty well hidden. So, Im posting it on here, as well as a couple other Top Ten lists.

I thought I'd post pictures of some of the things I got for Christmas.

I just came from Whyte Knight, where I picked up Mega Man 3 from the Boxing Day sale. I was walking past a shelf of old Rifts books, and I discovered a Rifts: Canada sourcebook. I'm tempted to buy it, but that would probably involve starting up a Rifts game. If anyone is interested, give me an e-mail.

On Christmas Day Night, we went to see Lord of the Rings, and Cherie lost Bear in the theatre. The theatre people can't find him, either. I'll miss that little sex machine. There's a memorial on Cherie's page.

I'm in the process of formatting the rest of the Indecline pics, and while I was uploading the last of the Nevertheless photos, I ran across a few more party pictures. Patience, my pet, patience.

For a special Christmas treat, I'm going to honour a request from street performer Danger Boy, forwarded to me by Powerman. Danger Boy says:

take that bullshit off that fucking site!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? I DIDN'T GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO PUT MY PICTURE ON THAT SITE FOR STARTERS, AND WHAT IS THAT BULL SHIT ABOUT YOU UP STAGING MY SHOW? I PUT YOU IN MY SHOW, YOU DIDN'T WALK IN! AND THE ONLY REASON YOU GOT APPLAUSE IS BECAUSE I BUILT YOU UP ENOUGH TO GET APPLAUSE, THAT SHOW WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME YOU GOT FUCKING APPLAUSE, AND YOU KNOW THAT!!I WANT THAT BULLSHIT OFF THE SITE!!

In the case of Danger Boy, I saw him stick a drill up his nose. I saw him eat broken glass. Powerman stood on his chest, for crying out loud. But when it comes to having his picture on the Internet, he goes weak in the knees.

Can anyone tell me why he thought he didn't give Powerman permission to put those photos on my website? Does that make sense?

To refresh your memory, Danger Boy originally appeared in this gallery and this one.

Oh crap, I said 'hell' on Christmas eve. Oh hell, I said 'crap.'

Greg wanted me to give him this picture of Ginger.

And check out Brad's Christmas surprise to me: To the Max!!! What a weird page.

Dr Eric, I got the rest of the photos, and Powerman, I got your forward. What's with that guy? I thought he could take pain.

Oh, and Dr. Erick sent me a photo.

Anyway, I have more pictures. Watch Aaron battle an air mattress.

I got an e-mail from Dr. Erick, and he sent me some old pictures of him, but I haven't been able to read the file format yet.

Oh, and See didn't print my Indecline article because I forgot to mention where the show was. That's sort of a flimsy excuse, but it's too late now. We'll run it next time Indecline puts on a show. In the meantime, here's a rough copy of the article I submitted.

I just stopped by Whyte Knight, intent on buying some old Nintendo games as previously reported. Ninja Turtles IV was there, but I forgot my list, so I didn't remember what else I was going to get. But they had the original Ninja Turtles for eight bucks. I've got so much Ninja Turtles stuff right now.

Last night, I watched Episode 1 of Astroboy at Greg's place. We downloaded it off the Internet. You know how some shows you loved as a kid, when you watch them again, turn out to suck? Like Alf, or Thundercats? Well, not Astroboy. I think it's even better now. Just the first episode is one of the greatest Anime stories I've ever seen. And the music, wow. I found an online petition to bring back Astroboy.

And I got some good news about my courses. I haven't gotten a mark back on the weblog paper yet, but I got a 9 on my other paper, for SOC 332, and a 4 for my Math 347 Set Theory course. That may not be a high grade, but it means I passed, and thus completed a minor in math.

It's been a while, so here are some band photos.

And I've got tons of photo stuff coming up soon, so keep checking in.

I was working on my website in the Fine Arts computer lab, and when I loaded the page to update it, the server conveniently chopped off most of the sidebar and the counter at the bottom. Goddamn, that's the second time it's happened. And I spent two hours yesterday updating that fucking sidebar.

Tomorrow, I'm interviewing Scott (SiRON) from Indecline, so I'll take pictures and show you all what he looks like.

Anyway, today's wussy gallery of sissy pictures is a bunch more Cherie-Adam-Aaron photos. I took these a few Tuesdays ago, but they got lost in a separate folder and I didn't find them until yesterday.

My sister got food poisoning. Serves her right for eating at Taco Bell.

Have you seen the James Bond Actor Personality Test? I made it myself. Bad news, Angelfire won't let you post my pictures with a direct link on another server.

I recently signed up for something called the Blogger Insider, where someone asks me nosy questions and I post the responses on my site. That's for anyone who wants to learn really personal things about me. The interviewer was Elle at LadyJestr.

And I'm linked on Phancy.com!

Last night, Adam and Aaron stayed over. At 4:00am, Adam had a hankering for some curly fries, so we stopped by at Keegan's for take-out. We were all feeling a little malicious, so we put two bucks in the jukebox before we left and programmed in: Queen-- Bicycle RaceX3, Fat-Bottomed GirlsX1, and something godawful I forgot.

Since my term paper is about the Internet, I decided I'd put it online and riddle it with links. Everything you ever wanted to know about weblogs, but were afraid to ask. Warning: It's long. And academic. No crazy clowns here.

Yeah, yeah, no pictures again today. But now that I'm out of school, I'll have a chance to take more pictures. In the meantime, my best friend Greg posted some insane skateboarding photos on his site.

Hey, it's Greg's birthday in 5 days. What the hell am I gonna get him?

I know! HTML advice. Greg:

And more good news: Jebus recommended me to DJ a Motown night at New City Suburbs on Mondays. I'll keep everyone informed about what comes out.

Good news! I'm the Billboard Liberation Front!What website are you? Thanks to Weblog Wannabe.

I'm in the process of writing my term paper on weblogs. It's almost done. Note to self: visit this site when nominations open again.

My sister got a new cell phone. It comes with this voice recognition system, where you can say a name into the phone and it'll call the number for you. It's keyed only to the owner's voice, so I decided to give it a test. And Annan decided to let me, to test how accurate my imitation of her is. Anyway, she put the phone to my ear, and it asked me to speak the name I wanted to dial. I squawked out my own name, and it said "Connecting." Paydirt! The only glitch was that it dialled "home" rather than "Jon." Oh well, at least I proved the infallibility of my imitation.

Today I'm relying on links again. I'm writing my term paper on weblogs, so my desktop is overflowing with links right now. These links are old news, but they're a fun read.

Gangs? On the Internet? It was only a matter of time.

I got an article in See this week on the Moneyshots. Also, they ran this picture. If you don't already know, when you follow a link to the See website, sometimes you have to scroll down to find my articles.

I have a funny link. But it? not ha-ha funny. Apparently NASA launched a satellite called Stardust, and they took over 1 million names submitted to them by pretty well anyone, and engraved them all on microchips. I checked for Dunbars, and to my surprise they had an Annan Dunbar, but no Jon or Jonathan Dunbar. Why does my sister get to go into space, but not me? It? not fair!

Here are some other names I found: BART SIMPSON, BART A SIMPSON, BART H SIMPSON, BART HOMER SIMPSON, BART J SIMPSON, BART M SIMPSON, BART S SIMPSON, BARTHOLOMEW J SIMPSON, BARTHOLOMUE SIMPSON, BARTOLOMEO J. SIMPSON, BARTOLOMEW SIMPSON, GILLIGAN ISLANDER, RUSH LIMBAUGH, BRET HART, BRET H.M HART, BRET THE HITMAN HART, BRETT G HART, BENDER, LUKE DUKE, BO DUKE, DAISY DUKE

But wait, it gets weirder. Here? another Duke: DAVID DUKE

I found that pretty well every name imaginable was here. There were six Hitler entries: HITLER, ADOLF HITLER, ADOLF A HITLER, ADULF HITLER, ALDOF 1 HITLER, ALDOLF HITLER

What is Hitler? middle name, anyway?

Remember the X or Not fad? It's still going on. Here are some of the weirder ones:

There was a famous debate in the post-war period by two Marxists, Maurice Dobb and Paul Sweezy, over crisis of feudalism. Dobb claimed that the crisis was caused by the growing class struggle between landlords and peasants, which set in motion the capitalist method of production (Dobb 1963). However, he fails to show any convincing evidence of the landlords’ escalating exploitation of the peasantry over time (Sanderson 1995). Sweezy attacked Dobb for concentrating on endogenous factors, and was himself attacked for having a much less Marxist view, namely one that didn’t give the class struggle much credit (Sanderson 1995). He didn’t think there was any force within feudalism strong enough to transform it; thus, he figured, change needed to come from an outside, or exogenous factor. He said this factor was the revival of long-distance trade in the eleventh century that caused the initial feudal crisis and the subsequent move toward capitalism (Sweezy 1976). He said that as feudalism became increasingly involved in a market economy and urbanization, the aristocracy realized the greater efficiency of capitalism, and feudalism was scrapped for the better machine (Sweezy 1976). However, this explanation seems sketchy, because there was conflict between the aristocracy and the uprising capitalists. Feudalism is now believed to be more dynamic than once thought, as suggested by Sanderson (1995) and Wallerstein (1974).

And I found a link for this new Edmonton Punk Page. It looks pretty good. While Indecline may have the chatrooms and interactiveness, at least this new site has (a) a comprehensive band list, and (b) a decent show listing.

I'm finishing up my sociology paper in an Engineering lab. I may get beat up. Okay, I'm updating my website, but you get the idea.

Have you ever wondered what Max Weber looks like? Pretty much exactly like I would have guessed. Friedrich Engels looks sort of like Johnny Depp, at least before he grows that hideous beard. Karl Marx would make a good Santa Claus. His wife is hot. And check out Karl before he grew his famous beard.

Here's another link. Remember my collection of people sleeping? Well, Cherie took some pictures for that as well, so be sure to check those out.

I have to work on a term paper today, so Cherie's filling in for me on CJSR. It's her first show.

And check out Indecline--another discussion about me.

On a side note, someone finally found the time to photoshop the enclosed photo of Anarchy Adam in the manner suggested. Although rather than the real thing, he used a plastic replica. He said he "couldn't bring myself to search for a cock that would do it. " Thanks a million.

I was thinking about buying some used Nintendo games, so I went to Whyte Knight and made a list of some promising games. I did a bit of online research and found the ones that look interesting. Does anyone remember the old Micro Machines Nintendo game? That's my dream find.

I don't normally link pornography, but it's only 8-bit smut. There was this rare Nintendo game called Hot Slots. Yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

I'm not so hard up for new games now that I found this site of homemade Game Genie codes. Plus, I found the official Mario Twins homepage.

Holy crap. I installed a counter just yesterday, and it's already past 50. Where do all you people come from? Is it just James hitting Refresh all day?

One final note. CJSR posted the holiday schedule a while ago. Someone called "Smooth" already got the midnight slot, but I'm starting a consortium along with Anarchy Adam and Eli to run a six-hour radio show, from 1:00am on New Year's Day down to 7.
