A New Year and you are still Pretending to the Throen. I am back, didn't you get the memo? Back to the Branson Retirement Community for Old Maids who Never Did Come Up With Their Own Schtick and Thus Will Not Be Accepted Into the A List Vegas Retirement Community. At least it will be closer to Chicago so you can conintue your GA world tour in pursuit of imaginary friends to fill the void that is your gaping gash. Tsk.

I think I finally get it. You're cool. Welcome back.

I turned off the game a little before halftime beause I can't bear to watch massacre, even if it is Oklahoma, so I missed this:

King Kauffman

Did anyone else see it?

FWIW, there's a video clip of the end of Ashlee's song, and the thunderous boos thereafter, here:

Apropos of little, Wired Magazine tells us that online distribution is the way that we'll be getting all our news soon.

• All hell's about to break loose," says Brad Burnham, a venture capitalist with Union Square Ventures in Manhattan, which studies the impact of new technology on traditional media. BitTorrent does not require the wires or airwaves that the cable and network giants have spent billions constructing and buying. And it pounds the final nail into the coffin of must-see, appointment television. BitTorrent transforms the Internet into the world's largest TiVo.
  
  One example of how the world has already changed: Gary Lerhaupt, a graduate student in computer science at Stanford, became fascinated with Outfoxed, the documentary critical of Fox News, and thought more people should see it. So he convinced the film's producer to let him put a chunk of it on his Web site for free, as a 500-Mbyte torrent. Within two months, nearly 1,500 people downloaded it. That's almost 750 gigs of traffic, a heck of a wallop. But to get the ball rolling, Lerhaupt's site needed to serve up only 5 gigs. After that, the peers took over and hosted it themselves. His bill for that bandwidth? $4. There are drinks at Starbucks that cost more. "It's amazing - I'm a movie distributor," he says. "If I had my own content, I'd be a TV station."
  
  During the last century, movie and TV companies had to be massive to afford distribution. Those economies of scale aren't needed anymore. Will the future of broadcasting need networks, or even channels?
  
  "Blogs reduced the newspaper to the post. In TV, it'll go from the network to the show," says Jeff Jarvis, president of the Internet strategy company Advance.net and founder of Entertainment Weekly. (Advance.net is owned by Advance Magazine Group, which also owns Wired's parent company, Condé Nast.) Burnham goes one step further. He thinks TV-viewing habits are becoming even more atomized. People won't watch entire shows; they'll just watch the parts they care about.

Until now, I was planning to use "goddam muse to the fucktards" as the new board motto if I ever nailed the 5K. But that would be self-quoting, and I think I learned yesterday that self-quoting is tacky, or something like that. So, if I get that elusive 5K, it's "in pursuit of imaginary friends to fill the void that is your gaping gash."

Oh, and happy Ollie Day, Paigow! May you continue to peg McBeaver in Penske's versions of my dreams.

Is this some kind of Scandinavian solstice ritual?

Here is a picture of me giving you your Ollie Day Cake (a little large, but so are my sentiments)

I'm glad you have a schtick sufficient to fill your gaping gash, so I don't have to waste any pity on you.

That is seriously so fucking cool. I'm printing it as soon as the coast is clear 'round the printer.

Fringe, I think that's the Scandinavian ritual. Sounds painful.

"Gash Schtick" would be a pretty good band name. If the Blowjob Camels or Atticun Bedshitter ever break up, I may use it. Our first album would be Scandinavian Solstice Ritual. It would rawk.

I heard that it takes a big schtick to fill that gash. The worst thing is that once a schtick fills it, the rest of us have to hear about the schtick's texture for 5 years.

If it's ok, I'll use "goddam muse to the fucktards." That was one of my favorite posts of 2004.

And Happy Ollie Day! I don't have a pretty picture or a cake, but since I still can't talk, imagine me doing an interpretive dance to represent the essence of a picture of me giving you cake.

Though its ability to block the sun was a relatively new tidbit, far as I can recall.

Of course it's okay. Consider it my Ollie Day gift to you.

And I'm imagining the interpretative dance right now, which puts me right back to where I was last night with ABBA. Hey, they are real!

I'm worried that it's not 5 years, but only 5 years "so far".
