Howto: Making Your Mac Talk Via Command Line

May 15th, 2008

Did you know you can make your Mac speak out loud whatever you want via command line? I didn’t.

Here’s how:

  1. Open a terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal).
  2. Type in say eat my balls (or whatever you want, just put “say” in front of it).
  3. Sit back, listen, giggle and waste your entire day making your computer say really dirty things.
  4. Know you are really, really cool.

You can also have your mac read entire text files by using this command:
say -f PATH/TO/FILE.TXT

Sweet! You may find that for some words, in order for your Mac to pronounce them correctly, you’ll need to spell them phonetically, but whatever…

Type the command man say for the manual on how to use this command and the various options and things you can do with it.


13 Y/O Credit-Stealing/Hooker-Ordering American Hero

May 15th, 2008

This kid, whether he ends up President or convict, is definitely going to grow up to be somebody special.

A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad’s credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.

…Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a “World of Warcraft” tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.

…When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.

…Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a “World of Warcraft” tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.

…The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played “Halo” on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

…Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician.

Let me tell you… this Ralph kid has some serious fucking balls. If only I’d known somebody that fucking cool when I was that age.


Animated Graffiti

This stop-motion video of animated graffiti, painted on the walls of Buenos Aires and Baden by an artist named Blu is nothing short of amazing. It’s fucking brilliant, really. It just keeps going, flowing and morphing.

Pissing On The Virgin Mary

May 14th, 2008

These Virgin Mary urinals Rule! I really, really need one.

I hope that somewhere, out there in the world, there’s also some Jesus urinals as well.


Getting Blasted With Bea Arthur

It’s a slow week. My mind is sludgy. I just ate meatloaf and I’m bored.

This is where my mind is at:

Dan Quayle Sucks…Literally?

May 13th, 2008

For some reason, I was wondering what the former Vice President of the United States, Dan Quayle was up to. So, to satisfy curiousity, I looked up his entry on Wikipedia, to find it hilariously defaced. Here’s a screenshot:

Read the first paragraph

From the first paragraph:

James Danforth “Dan” Quayle (born February 4, 1947) is an American politician and a former Senator from the state of Indiana. He was the forty-fourth Vice President of the United States under George H. W. Bush (1989–1993), and let me tell you something, this guy gives an amazing head, I’m telling you, you won’t find a better blowjob than the one Dan Quayle gives, it’s just so smooth and hot, and he’s willing to either swallow or to receive a big splash of cum in the face.

Awesome.


More Photos Of Shows

May 9th, 2008

TombsIt’s been a at least a few months since I’ve posted some of the photosets of concerts I’ve been to recently. If you know me (really, you don’t), I go to a fair amount of shows here in New York City, mostly metal of the Doom, Black, Stoner, Drone and occasionally, Death varieties. I like Metal; I like getting pasted and snapping a shitload of photos and uploading them to Flickr with minimal editorial discretion.

So, here’s a mess of them for you:

The cool thing is that today, the band Wetnurse emailed me to ask if they could use one or more of the photos I shot of them for the liner of their new CD. Of course, I’m more than happy and honored to oblige.


Thursday Morning Puke-Train

May 8th, 2008

This morning, I rushed onto the 2/3 train, heading into work, managing to catch a seat. As I settled, I spotted my upstairs neighbor a bit farther down the car from where I was sitting. I was about to wave when a man sitting next to where she was standing leaned over a let loose a massive wave of multi-colored puke onto the floor, liberally splattering her legs and feet.

Not even pausing for a moment of shock, she runs from the train, barely making it past the closing doors; I assume to go home and clean up. People quickly start moving to my end of the car. Meanwhile, Mr. Yakkity continues to hurl forth streams of joy and partial digestion.

For three whole stops, the man kept barfing. He must have had a second stomach or something, because it was fucking impressive. Someone gave him a bottle off water and some napkins and eventually, the torrent of chunks tapered off and stopped.

After wiping off his backpack, the guys stays on the train (thanks for that, buddy) and just slides down the bench, away from the scene of the crime and acts like nothing happened.

Gross, yet slightly exciting. I wish more morning commutes were like this.
