Now that’s how you start a weekend…

The More You Know of the Day: And so, one of the greatest mysteries of our time is finally solved: Ice Cube’s “good day” took place on the 20th of January, 1992.

How did Murk Avenue’s Donovan Strain arrive at that particular date? Using details gleaned from the song’s lyrics, Strain was able to conclude the following: 

The ONLY day where:
Yo MTV Raps was on air
It was a clear and smogless day
Beepers were commercially sold
Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…
         
          JANUARY 20 1992

So there you have it. Twenty years and one week ago today was what shall henceforth be known as the first annual National Good Day Day.

I believe in copyright. I benefit from it. I don’t want it to go away. I love that we have laws and people to enforce them. But if I had to give up one thing, if I had to choose between copyright and the wild west, semi-lawless, innovation-fest that is the internet? I’ll take the internet every time.

I realize there are some wealthy individuals – I’m not one of them, but some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios.

Elizabeth Warren, whose spokesman later added, “Elizabeth was making the point that, unlike many members of Congress, she does not have a broad portfolio of stocks in individual companies.” Said aide specified that she only held mutual funds.

Worth noting: Mutual funds are nothing more than “a broad portfolio of stocks”.

Either she a) is too dumb to realize what mutual funds are or b) is intentionally lying to try and make herself not appear to be part of the 1% (that she really is).

Her net worth is estimated around $14 million dollars. Which option do you think is most likely?

Whawhawha?!!?

Ok, this doesn’t look anywhere NEAR as cool as Cowboy Bebop, mostly on accounta no space cowboys, no Faye and no Ein. But I’ll still be compulsorily required to check it out.

Brb, dusting off DVDs…

First Look of the Day: Thirteen years later, Cowboy Bebop director Shinichirō Watanabe is reuniting with Cowboy Bebop composer Yoko Kanno for a brand new anime about “a naive boy and a scruffy boy [who] share a passion for jazz in a provincial town in the late 1960s.”

Based on Yūki Kodama’s same-named manga series, Sakamichi no Apollon is set to air this April on Fuji TV’s anime programming block, Noitamina.
