I wish I looked this fucking cool in 1995.
Anyway, tonight’s jam is “In The Meantime” by Spacehog. Brought to you courtesy of MTV nostalgia and the shitbag jukebag at the Jefferson Tap & Grille.

Jereme : Latest
And suddenly, I like Apple again*
Typically, the “Terms and Conditions”** of a web service are an excuse to leverage some legalese in order to trick you into agreeing to a bunch of bullshit.***
And while the iTunes Store Terms may not be ideal, at least they have the decency to call out and make plain changes to their legalese:
* I say “again” because I got my start with OS 8, then rocked OS 9. I even rocked ResEdit. I installed the piece-of-crap release that was OS 10.1. Making it short and simple: I was a huge Apple fan. But ever since they got cool, they’ve started pushing garbage to market — just like the folks in Redmond.
** For the record: Aside from the Creative Commons license, there are no Terms of Use on jereme.tumblr.com, unless Tumblr, Inc. decides to enforce some. But they didn’t make me include any such notice of any such Terms on this page, so, um, lots of luck with that. (They do have Terms of Service, but as far as I can tell those Terms apply to me, not you.)
As for me: I do have Terms of Use on my own website, which is linked from here (and which you might be on right now, since I aggregate these posts onto my site — how fucking meta is that? Pay attention to URLs, yo). Anyway, I call it a “Legal Notice”. All it says is that you can’t sue me for visiting my website, that I use web analytics to see what people like to look at, and that my content is licensed under the Creative-motherfucking-Commons Attribution-motherfucker-and-bitch-you-better-be-Noncommercial-and-be-sure-to-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
(The code and design on that shit is G-to-the-P-to-the-motherfucking-L. Just in case that’s something you’re into.)
*** Yep, said it. Suck it, spammers.

Because David Lynch is still top-of-mind for me tonight: the closing credits for Inland Empire.
This sequence is probably his finest work. And it’s tough to argue with Nina Simone.
(It’s tough to argue with Helen Mirren, too. But The Academy didn’t even give Laura Dern so much as a nod for Best Actress on this one? That’s garbage.)

From the description at YouTube:
“No one ever took the infamous Max headroom (sic) broadcast intrusion video and revesed (sic) it, so, I took the chance.”
Um, yeah. You’re right. No one ever took that video and reversed it.
Do you know why?
BECAUSE IT’S SCARY!
It’s like Mosfilm produced Dr. Who, and then David Lynch took some serious drugs and decided that a broadcast signal intrusion was a good idea. Fuck that.
Seriously: fuck that.

Quoted, or something:
— Quoting me, and dropping an in-joke.
(If you get it, say a word for Jimmy Brown, okay?)

HTML 5 = Oh, crap... Really?
Seriously?
ITEMs? ITEMNAMEs? ITEMPROPs?
Jesus crap. This is just like when I finally learned how to nest TABLEs, only to find out that all the cool kids had moved on to floated DIVs.
Am I going to have to re-code my website again?
I hope not. I am so bored with coding.
