Remember when Darl showed some “encrypted code” that he claimed was stolen and added to Linux and it was really just some POSIX definitions from a header file taken from BSD “encrypted” with a wing dings font? Those were some wild times.

Sisters Euclid. They were a Canadian band who recently called it a career after like 27 years of mostly-under-the-radar instrumental jangle jazz, or something to that effect. They did win a Juno for an album of Neil Young instrumentals and reinterpretations called “Run Neil Run”, but outside of the Toronto are and southwest Ontario I don’t think they were widely known. Members of the band have played in all sorts of other bands and with other folks, many of which y’all would recognize like Norah Jones and the Doobie Brothers, they all really accomplished musicians. I saw them live dozens of times before they called it a day, and I always saw and heard something new with every performance. Seeing them live was definitely the best way to take them in, as their studio albums seemed like they were just scaffolding for the live shows.

Hoping for a reunion show in 5-10 years. I’d travel for it.

I haven’t posted on Reddit since they treated third party app devs like shit. I’m done with that site.

I don’t know about all that, but I did catch his appearance on the American version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?…

Morpheus: “Free… your… mind “ as he jumps an impossible gap between two high rise buildings.

Neo: “aww hell naw.”

That movie was played completely straight, where there was no dummy comedic relief character. They were all scientists and it was very serious. They wanted to make their own 2001 A Space Odyssey but ended up making a high production Plan 9 From Outer Space. I remember when it came out that all of the interviews with the actors and De Palma were so serious and self-important and after the movie came out they just seemed delusional. The movie is comically bad in terms of … literally everything. Even Gary Sinese’s hair, man. Even the hair.

That movie was beyond stupid. I think I even saw it in the theatre. There’s like 3 billion base pairs in a strand of human DNA and Sliders over here uses his space skittles to form like a dozen base pairs and proclaims it’s his perfect woman’s DNA. That wouldn’t be enough for a bacterium’s ass let alone a human being, your perfect woman is severely broken dude.

Are you perhaps thinking of the Brian De Palma film Mission To Mars? Where Jerry O’Connell makes a DNA shape using skittles or some shit?

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
