My knowledge of Kafka is limited to vague notions of a giant cockroach. Regardless, I love absurdism. I also love The Onion. Thus, the awesomeness that is this:

It's all about the awesomeness

This is the most awesome thing that the Internet has created to date:
Thru-you

Thanks to JoCo for the link. The awesomeness gets passed around and around and around.

Creeping towards sentience

Ever wanted to have your MP3 player talk to you? I know I haven't.

You know who you are

Someone complained that I wasn't posting enough on this here blog.

So I will now inform you about Paul and Storm.

Paul and Storm are awesome. You can listen to all of their songs for free, but you should pay them if you like them and want to keep them and maybe play them outside of the rather awkward format of a web page. I know I did.

I first experienced Paul and Storm at a Jonathan Coulton concert a month ago. (JoCo is also awesome. You can also listen to his songs for free. You should also pay him money for his music if you enjoy it. I know I did.) I was previously aware of them but was not prepared for the sheer hilarity and enjoyment that is Paul and Storm. I am now a fan. I visit their web site regularly and vote in their faux-political elections. I listen to their podcast and sometimes I even pay attention to what they say. I frequently refer to things in a bad Randy Newman impersonation as "you my friend". The term "dejected arrrrrr" is in my lexicon. Overall, Paul and Storm have been a transformative experience in my life.

I encourage everyone to click on the copious links that I have so thoughtfully provided and enjoy the music of Paul and Storm. I know I did.
