where's the super happy funshine?
upon reading i decided my blog for this class sounded a little too deadpan and not very super, happy, or fun. this needs to be remedied, ASAP!
ok, so links! i get a ton of these from popculturejunkmail.com, so if you already frequent Gael Cooper's little mish mash of pop culture news complete with links (and it's got some really cool links, let me tell you), whatever i link here may very well be things you've seen/heard of already. well, you'll learn to deal with it, i guess :D (see? i put a smiley there. that's happy and funshiny, isn't it?)
that's a link more related to last week's readings, particularly ms. blood's article.
anyway, in regards to the html portion we hit on today in class, i dug up (not really, it was right there in my bookmarks) one of the first links i hit when i started reading the feed for her blog in my lj (yes, i have a livejournal. feel free to ph33r m3 (we'll get to the 1337 link later!)). unfortunately, the link was down. FORTUNATELY, i located another one!
for any of you familiar with Billy Joel's lyrical amalgamation of political references spanning roughly 40 years, We Didn't Start the Fire, this page has not only the lyrics, but links to each and every reference mr. joel makes with a token amount of background information. there's a hell of a lot of links in there, and maybe next time i'll upload the song, provided i can find a copy (shh, don't tell anyone about the music piracy, man!).
finally, my boyfriend sent me a link earlier in the evening, and i thought it would be a neat way to introduce some of the n00bs in the class to 1337, the Language of the Internet. more like the Language of the Internet Geeks, but anyway. this is inspired by chris' changing of "hyper" to "hyp3r"--i noticed half of us laughed, and the other half made confused faces. anyway, hopefully 1337.org will serve as an adequate explanation.
i only just realized it was tuesday roughly an hour ago, for anyone who's interested. WHOA!
edit: i just realized the billy joel page? yeah, it links to everything, but unfortunately, the pages it links to belong to the original link, the website of which seems to be down. mmyep. sorry folks. i guess that wasn't a very funshiny thing.
