I've gone back to Yahoo Answers. I simply can't resist it's siren call. I'll be sharing the wealth over here every so often. Here's one for today. Pic after the jump

Daniel Johnston

Since all my posts, should Nate ever decide to publish them, have to mirror Nathaniel's, I figured I'd write about one of my favorite street artists, Daniel Johnston.For the most part, he's actually a musician as opposed to an artist. I don't know his full life story, but supposedly when he began recording, he was working at a McDonald's or something. He couldn't afford a tape deck that could record multiple tapes, so he would simply re-record his album onto a cassette every time he wanted to give one away, which he did with any meal purchase.

He actually became somewhat popular. And in '93, he painted Jeremiah the Innocent, from one of his album covers, onto a wall in downtown Austin. A documentary or two has been made about him, and for a while a rock opera (I think) named Speeding Motorcycle, one of his albums, ran for a while in Austin.

Top TV Shows

Here are a few of my favorite TV shows that I figured you would be interested in hearing about. Maybe you'll find something new to watch when you get bored


White Collar: This show is about an ex-con who used to do forgeries and steal art and such. So it may be pretty obvious why I like this show. Anyway, he got caught (this is where the show starts) and how he works for the FBI trying to catch other con artists and theirs and other "white collar" criminals. The show generally consists of the main character (Neil Caffrey) and his FBI agent (Peter Burke) trying to catch criminals. There is also another character dubbed "Mozzy" who is scared to death of the FBI or anything government but he agrees to help on occasion because he is friends with Neil. There is also a larger subplot where Neil tries to find his estranged girlfriend Kate, which os interesting and ties all the episodes together.

King of Limbs // Radiohead

Radiohead is releasing a new album!!! This has me so pumped because I am a huge fan of theirs. Just about everything about the band rocks, except for the fact that they are always fighting. Anyway, new album coming out on Saturday. I'll put the links up for the digital download then so anyone who wants to can buy their album. They are doing something interesting where you can pay $9 for the compressed MP3s and $14 for the uncompressed WAV files. I'll certainly be buying the WAV files when it goes on sale. Oh and the album is called King of Limbs.

Jailbreak Recs

I really like my iPhone. I figure some of ya'll have iPhones. If you are a reader with an iPhone, I assume you enjoy it too. Most people do. To the point: My phone is jailbroken, which isn't illegal, but it does void the warranty. Totally worth it. Plus, if you do need to take it in, you can always restore it back to factory settings. I just wanted to share some of my favorite Cydia (the jailbroken app store) apps.

Worlds Longest Ski Jump

Here is the worlds longest ski jump. Can you imagine jumping almost 800 feet on two glorified sticks? I can't but I like to watch it.

I just love this video, you can skip to the 30 second mark if you want to get to the good stuff.
