NYT 4/21-5/3

4/21: American Idiot deputed on Broadway last Tuesday. When I first bought the CD six years ago I always envisioned it to be a broadway musical. I even designed a costume I wore on Halloween. The actual broadway performance beats the heck out of any ideas I had and I'm very tempted to go see it.

4/22: Got interested in an article about underwater cameras, didn't really know they made them on a non-professional level. Maybe I'll buy one next time. Besides that, not much caught my eye.

4/23: New missile that can hit any "corner" of the world, might be a more dangerous threat then a nuclear bomb. Of course, that's like saying during the First Irag War we mostly used smart missiles (completely false) so I doubt these are that strong. Still, thanks to a deal with Russia we are suppose to decommission a nuke for each one made. I wonder who checks to see if we've done that?

4/26: Craig's List making a large profit off selling ad space for sex slaves and prostitution. Originally the money went to charity, now it just goes to profit. Its scary what happens when business takes over.

4/27:I got a kick out of the power point article. One of my professors refuses to use power point. NASA has banned it from its company. Can you really simplify something as complex as war into a power point? The fact they try worries me.

4/28: Lots of people argue about not wanting to outsource our clothing industries and pay a little more for pants. But $550? You can't sell me on that. I am reminded of an old article on Salon.com that interviewed the guy in charge of A&F. He pointed out they sell to select clientele. This article points to this as well as the old adage "There's a sucker born every minute." Sorry, but if the pants fit...

4/29:A friend mentioned the moving of this mermaid statue to me. When she was in Denmark she sent me a postcard of it. I figured it had to due with marketing and I was right. Got to love Danish traders. I would have blown it to smithereens just to smite them.

4/30: I've never listened to Insane Clown Posse, but every time I see their shirts I laugh. Now, thanks to SNL I'll laugh even more. I need to find the links to these videos. Love how people thought their own music video was a gag. That's not good...

5/3: That car bomb in Time Square is nerve racking, but I actually found something odd about it. The fertilizer was reported to be "nonexplosive," this means the person who did it didn't know what they were doing. I'm chocking it up as one time wack job, not Arabian terrorists.
