"Peep Show". It's ok it's not porn.
My friend Abjekt recommended this show to me. It’s a brilliant British comedy about a awkward office employee with self esteem issues and his idiot flatmate. If you’re a fan of “The Office” you’ll definitely love this show. Unfortunately I can’t embed the video but the link below will direct you to a youtube channel that has all the episodes. Start at the...
Boutique science; another word for silly.
Apparently some scientists are a few steps closer to cloning a woolly mammoth. While the curious child in me applauds this effort for the excitement of seeing an extinct prehistoric animal brought to life the logical mind says “ehhh prolly not”. I believe most of you are familiar with the book/movie “Jurassic Park”? While the woolly mammoth may not be a blood lusting...
Monty Python for free on YouTube.
Those of you who are fans of British comedy act Monty Python will be happy to learn that they’ve now got an official youtube channel. It appears they’ll have much of their content available for free. Unfortunately at this point it just looks like they have clips available. Hopefully they’ll be uploading full videos soon!

It’s only obvious this is how this situation was going to end.
Scientists didn't get memo that drinking own urine...
It really makes me sad that Astronauts will be drinking cleaner water than I will whilst they’re in space and I’m on the earths surface. I want a peeurfier!
Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon be able to drink their own recycled urine using a new system delivered by NASA’s space shuttle Endeavour which launched Friday.
Until now, pee has been dumped...
Jimi Hendrix: A Tribute To Experience Mix! [FREE]
My boy DJ Concept is back with his tribute mix to Jimi Hendrix and the Experience. Download it here for free! http://www.mediafire.com/?ojmbzjwzgjv!
With the passing of Mitch Mitchell, we officially say goodbye to The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The legacy of the band will live on through their music and I felt the need to mix up, just a small portion, of their catalog. Thanks to J-Zone & Jake...

Presidential fireside chats to be posted to...
The first weekly address from President Obama!
Obama is officially the first YouTube president—you know, if you doubted it for some reason with 1800 videos uploaded and over 110 million views. He will be the first president to post videos of his weekly fireside coffee talks on YouTube in addition to the traditional radio format, which goes back to FDR, who used the medium to directly address the...
Keith Olberman confronts Prop 8
Saw this couldn’t help but share. This is exactly how I feel about this issue.
RIP Mitch Mitchell.
Drummer Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Henderix Experience passed away early this morning thus closing the final chapter of the Experience. One of the greatest rock bands of all time and hands down my favorite! My friend DJ Concept will be putting together a tribute mix for the band this weekend and should be available on Monday or Tuesday. I’ll be sure to post a link when it’s...
Google flu trends.
Sorry for the no blog posts yesterday! It was pretty hectic so I didn’t manage to get any up but I’ll kick off today with Google’s latest online tool, flu trends. As we approach that time of year when sniffling and coughing seem to be rampant and we have to best protect ourselves from germs, Google’s got your back to let you know how this flu season compares to years...

This article is really worth the read. The author makes a ton of great points. You should read it!
Cellular sherpas carry rucksacks to make you feel...
Scientists are at it again! They’ve now manipulated cells to carry an extra payload that could aide in body imaging or even fight cancer!
Scientists have fitted individual cells with polymer “rucksacks” that could carry drugs or imaging agents to specific parts of the body.
Because the cells are only partially covered by the polymer packets, their normal function can be...
Boldly Goat Where No Lawnmower Has Gone Before
A few things. First I stole the headline from the original article because it’s hilarious. Second, those who know me quite well know that I like goats and would very much like to have two well mannered pygmy goats one day. They will live in a goat shanty in my backyard. With this knowledge you can only imagine how much the following made my day.
For an average lawn, a mower works just...
New music mix from Abjekt!
My friend Abjekt hooked up this half hour mix chocked full of grime/dubstep/fidget/bassline tracks. He’s mad English even though he’s like half French. This is for Crystal Palace named for this Crystal Palace, my London based sister city football club!
Waste Time With Basslines by Abjekt.
Yep, that’s right, I finally got around to uploading it. I pottered about a bit with a few...
Make chocolate cake in a mug!
Alright. First thing I have to say is holy crap this is the best thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t tell you how many times I’m like “yo, I want some chocolate cake” but most of the time I don’t want to have to buy it nor do I have the ingredients to make it at home. Little did I know I almost always have everything I need to make this awesome mug cake!
This is...
Get your signed "Hope" print now!
Straight from the horses mouth! $40 Hope prints signed by the man himself! Scoop yours up while you can!
In order to do our part to help OBAMA get elected, we started a grassroots campaign on a street postering level and now the OBAMA HOPE image is now part of history. We produced and distributed over 30,000 posters to be placed in windows, front yards, and businesses. We like to think we...
Chuck Norris is an A-hole.
And now I totally hate Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris sure hasn’t mellowed since barnstorming for Mike Huckabee back in the spring (and warning that John McCain might drop dead at any moment). In his latest column, he boasts about working for Prop 8 in California to ban gay marriage, then adds: “And as far as the presidential race? I couldn’t put it any better than a recent poem I...
Mushrooms, not just for hippies anymore.
So apparently Francis Schwarze a Swiss “researcher” has found the key to why a Stradivarius sounds so good. It seems that growing mushrooms on the wood that is used for the instruments reduces density and intensifies the sound.
If the violin sounds good, it might be the mushrooms.
A Swiss researcher announced Thursday that treating maple wood with a certain mushroom improves its...
The MLB logo mystery.
So I’m not what you would call much of a “sports fan” so this whole thing is new to me. It’ll probably be new to a lot of you as well because it’s not so much the kind of sports trivia you’re used to. The logo above turns 40 years old next year the crazy thing is, no one actually knows who designed it. Apparently there is no record of who designed it. Just...
Star Wars Hoodies!
DUDE I SO WANT THE BOBA FETT ONE! HOOK IT UP IN A LARGE!
A long time ago in a galaxy…this galaxy, actually, we went a little nuts over these Star Wars hoodies by Marc Ecko. The only catch was that they cost $98. Well for today only, everything at the store is 40% off, including these two fantastic sweatshirts. That brings the price to right around $59—still expensive, but no more than a...

Shepard Fairey (OBEY) CBS Interview!
Shepard Fairey sits down with CBS to discus is iconic Barack Obama “Hope image”
Vote for "white spaces" passes.
This is from a couple of days ago but there was so bloody much going on during the election/post election I didn’t want to over do it. Ultimately the vote was passed which will ultimately open up a more competitive and more technologically advance wifi network. What does that mean for you? Basically it’s like that song by Daft Punk “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”.

Big Pictures. Images from around the world.
Big Picture is one of my favorite websites for huge amazing and beautiful photographs. They pick a topic and have super high resolution photos to tell a story or are there for you to simply gaze at. Here are some various images I liked. Go to www.boston.com/bigpicture for more images and full sizes.

The party is over.
So the party is over either you won or lost but you probably did some drinking. It’s morning and you feel like crap. These are the suggestions that the readers of ipsofacto came up with for the question: “Ipsofacto wants to know your hangover cure. How do you nurse yourself back to health after too much fun?”
While greasy food was near the top of the list more people said...
Massachusetts voters decriminalize marijuana
In my opinion the 3 main issues in this election were Obama, Prop 8 and the decriminalization of marijuana in Massachusetts. Still no official word on Prop 8 in California and we all know how presidential race turned out. Ultimately I’m very happy that they passed the decriminalization law. So much tax money is wasted on prosecuting petty drug charges it’s not even worth it. ...

So like Yo La Tengo says “today is the day”! Get out and vote if you haven’t done so already. I was in line around 7:15AM and out around 9AM. There was a pretty long line but I didn’t have any problems. Below is a little message I’m passing along…
We realize that the majority of bulletins you receive from us are about shows and releases, etc. but we want...
