Weblog *PERFECT* Gar English Gar
1999-06-15 08:52:00
I don't know why, but my writing has become completely incomprehensible lately. It's scary. So I've vowed to myself not to use any stars or all-caps or anything in this link. Oh, and perfect.co.uk is a Weblog. End of Blurb, begin article now.
For some reason Pigdog Journal got on somebody's list of Weblogs and now we get X-reffed from different Weblog lists all over the Web. I don't know why, cause we're not really all that Webloggety or anything. But these things happen and I'm not complaining because, hell, links, right? We like that.
Anyways, another site that always ends up on these lists is perfect. I don't mean the site is perfect, I mean the name of the site is "perfect." Dahoy. Roll with me here, people.
Perfect is the most abbreviated Weblog ever. Just links, without any explanatory text or pointers or blurbs or descriptions or what have you. You have to go click the links yourself to find out what all the hullabaloo is about in the first place.
But this is completely OK, because perfect.co.uk has got incredible links. They find the best of the best in beautiful and hysterical design all over the Web, and make links to it (the best). There are all kinds of wiggety Dutch and Japanese and English and European and like that links. Because foreign people don't talk so good so they have to make pictures instead.
Where am I going with this? Uh, dunno. But I liked perfect.co.uk and I think you will too.

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...)
The Ancient and Correct Sake Ceremony
Many Americans have learned to appreciate the delicate, sophisticated flavors of Japanese food and drink, along with the beautifully refined rituals of Japanese dining.

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...)
During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.
