jodi.org! Fucking art fucking fucks!

Man, I've had this URL at the bottom of my basket for a LONG time. jodi.org is a weird place. I just don't know. It doesn't make any sense, and everybody's already had a link to it. BUT I LOVE IT!!!!
You just have to dig this site. It's the FREAK. It's WEIRD. It's got PARASITIC JAVASCRIPT that, instead of putting crazy PORN ADS with hot Japan ass action on it, sends squirrely Netscape windows skidding around the corners of your screen, and blipping, blinking crazy script that looks like bad modem noise. Just a BIT of information, but not enough to make any sense.
And this big CRAZY MAP! That's what the most crazy part is. That MAP! See, there's this BIG ASS DIAGRAM with circles and networks of lines implying some kind of ORGANIZATION and little boxes and RABBITS and stuff that are links to crazy hacker sites like Dutch Threat and bad brainfucker sites like RTMark.
What's the DEAL? I dunno. I was doing some hitmongering by trying to get pigdog.org on the big crazy jodi.org map:
From: mr.bad@pigdog.org
To: webmaster@jodi.org
Subject: HEY!
Jesus FUCK! Whaddaya WANT from us?
http://www.pigdog.org/
~Mr. Bad
Here's what I got back:
From: JODI
To: "Mr. Bad"
Subject: Re: HEY!

See what I'm talking about? JODI is a big FREAK. I feel vaguely insulted, actually.
ANywaYS, there's been lots of puzzling about this jodi.org site in many other venues. I was kinda thinking I'd do this daring expose', with all kinds of adventurous investigative reporting, and I even got so far as to do a WHOIS look up. And then it hit me: JODI is DUTCH. DUTCH!!!!! This is all I needed to know. FREAKS!! It explains everything.
So, go check out jodi.org, explore around, and be prepared to close your browser window. This is viewer-hostile Web art.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
