I was a winger for years, and we can discuss that particular psychosis at a later date, but what I can explain to you right now is that they fucking hate you. They just do. They hate you because you respect gay people as normal human beings. They hate you because you respect African-Americans as normal human beings. They hate you because you... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...

Ayó Da is a beautiful song by Andy Palacio. He was a man fighting for his people’s cause and an amazing musicion. He died an untimely death in 2008, but his final album, Watina, is one of my all time favorites and the best of his career. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
Today the BBC leads with the dire economic circumstances in Spain. A few of the stories they choose to lead with are, “Spain jobless passes five million”, “What’s the matter with Spain?” and “Young Spain a ‘lost generation”. Not a pretty picture. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
This is a photo of the South Carolina police clearing unarmed Occupy Chapel Hill protesters from an abandoned building in November and this article on Salon does a pretty good job of explaining why our police now look (and act) like soldiers. In a country that loves to proclaim itself the center of freedom and liberty in the world, this is nothing... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
Some people are open to any possibility, and honestly examine all evidence in a rational manner to come to a conclusion, followed by a moral evaluation. Others start with a desire for a specific moral evaluation, and then work backwards assembling any fact that supports them, and dismissing any fact that does not. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
I am completely on the fence with this Modern Warfare 3 ad. On one hand its a pretty entertaining inside joke for gamers and reminds me a lot of what its like to be a Noob (eg. newbie, someone who lacks experience). Having recently gotten my ass kicked by 12 year olds to the point of hating Battlefield 3, the experience is fresh on my mind. On the... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
The Last of Us is a new game from Naughty Dog, the developers of the Uncharted series, and its looking pretty tight! These guys know how to write characters you care about and put them in stories that keep you interested. Quite an achievement considering we’re talking about games here. 90% of the multi-million dollar films I’ve watched in recent... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
What if they ended a war and nobody cared? I’m afraid this short article on Salon explains a very sad and sobering truth about my country. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
EMERGENCY ACTION NOTIFICATION NETWORK MESSAGE!!! Man… they couldn’t have made these national emergency messages any scarier if they tried. A similar test will be broadcast nationwide November 9, at 2 pm EST on all media. I’m sure they’ll be getting a couple of calls. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
After reading through some of Salon’s collection of Halloween articles I’m feeling a bit bummed. Between literally locking up registered sex offenders for the night and paranoia induced “carpool” trick or treating it just seems like we’ve let our fear get the better of us. Reading articles like this makes me long for the Halloween of my childhood.... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...

Sublime is sublime! This ones for all you coders out there. I’ve finally decided to ditch Dreamweaver. I’ve used it as a text editor for years due to its tight FTP integration and decent color coding and completion, but its a huge bloated piece of junk and I don’t use any of its 1000 pounds of WYSIWYG functionality. After MUCH research I’ve made... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
This amazing camera from the future has really piqued my interest! You can essentially forget about manual settings when shooting as everything from focus to depth of field control can be done in post as natively as if it were done in camera. Strange thing is, it doesn’t seem very well oriented towards the stated point and shoot market. I don’t... - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
Behold Botanicula! A new game from Amanita Design, the makers of the amazing Machinarium. For anyone who hasn’t tried Machinarium, go give it a whirl (for free). I promise you won’t regret it! - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
Paco Heavy is a friend of mine in Frigiliana. He runs a rock/metal radio station in town and for most of the Costa del sol. He’s a crazy guy and I found out recently that, before his metal days, he was a Spanish karate champion. This photo of him too awesome. He’s the flying dude on the right. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
Holy fear mongering in the USA! And the video… who thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a Hollywood espionage thriller complete with tense soundtrack and slow motion spying? Its all entertainment I suppose… Thanks for the heads up on this one Marcus. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
I can’t believe I just tuned into the NPR All Songs Considered 24/7 radio station for the first time today. It’s amazing. Go listen! - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
Here’s a deeper look at the origins and meaning of Captain America as well as a critical analysis of the film’s politics and historical whitewashing. I can’t wait to see it, I love me a good superhero movie as much as the next guy, but I always knew it would be Captain America light… inoffensive and entertaining and not much more. - http://www.doublenifty.com/post...
