    ZOMG TEH HAX0RZ!!!1

    If you’re like me… then you really need some help, dude. But kidding and warped sense of humor aside, if you’re like me then you a) love internet memes, and b) cannot make it to ROFLCON 2008 *ARRGGG*!

    Fear not, dear friends, for you needn’t An Hero nor sit at home alone in the dark all weekend. Instead, you can sit at home alone on the internet, watching live footage and updates and picture from ROFLCON all weekend!!!1SHIFT How fun?

    Sauces include live video from ustream, a flickr pool, twitters, and bright kite. So as not to whore out other’s hard work, go to roflcon.org for the links to these delicious little media morsels.

    I’ll be on most of these services as euicho, on and off over the weekend. If you see me on there, say hi!

    This is you who tempted her!!! 

    This email was forwarded to my department (Network Operations) by a concerned user. Best spam ever? Or best viral horror movie marketing technique ever? You be the judge:

    Subject: she has already gone to hospital…

    Hello, [name deleted].

    Listen to me carefully, i don’t know what your name is, but i’ll find you
    and i’ll cripple you, because this is you who tempted her!!!
    She has already gone to hospital, you’re next, this is evidence:

    Most Epic Rickroll EVAR 

    Holy Crap!!!!!!11SHIFT

    On April 4, 2008 many web communities, originating with Fark.com, urged their readers to vote “Never Gonna Give You Up” for the 8th inning sing-along at Shea Stadium for the New York Mets season. The Mets posted a web poll to select a song, and left a blank field for write ins.

    On April 7, 2008 the Mets organization announced “Never Gonna Give You Up” as the winner with more than 5 million votes. A run off between six songs will be played at Shea Stadium for the next six games starting with “Never Gonna Give You Up” on April 8, 2008.

    On April 8, 2008 Mets and their fans were sucessfully Rick Roll’d during the Middle of the 8th inning. Though there were varying emotions about the song at Shea Stadium, the web communities behind Rick Rolling were shocked that it actually worked if one for that one time and coining this Rick Roll Epic even if it was for only one day.

    You are not subscribed to EDGE 

    For the past 3 days I’d not had EDGE access on my iPhone. Out of the blue I started getting the error message “Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE“. I tried many things without success, but finally got it to work! In order to make the information more available, I’ve decided to document it here.

    I’ll first tell you what I did so you don’t have to repeat it, or at the least can save it for last, but if you’re impatient just scroll to the end of this post. (More …)

    Favorite Lyrics 

    Juliet Simms

    You know when you’re listening to a song and hear a particularly powerful lyric? That verse or phrase that really stirs you or give you goosebumps? Maybe it’s the words, or maybe it’s just the power with which the singer delivers it. I know I’ve a couple of those favorite lines, probably a lot more than a couple. At any rate, I’d love to hear lyrics that all of you readers (yeah all four of you) particularly love. I’ll start with a couple of mine I’ve run across just recently. Sometimes they don’t pertain to me personally in any way, sometimes they do, but they’re always powerful, beautiful, or tragic, and I love hearing them. For the full effect you really have to listen to the song however, so I’ll provide audiko.net links with them: (More …)

    IIIII Just want to tell you how I’m feelin’ 

    With the rick-roll sweeping the interwobbles, inciting shenanigans and leaving lulz in its wake, I thought I’d school you on its interesting origin!

    The rick-roll, like a good 80% of all other hilarious memes on the internet, cometh from teh 4chan.

    If you don’t know what 4chan is, you’re lucky. It is the asshole of the internet. Seriously, don’t google it. Don’t… I mean it. Okay, if you MUST, read this [NSFW]:.

      The rules, you’ve broken them. Two options here, an hero, or redeem yourself with particularly epic sauce. Your choice.
