Kirk! Sings! Again!

Kirk! Sings! Again! 12/31/2003 01:37 AM
According to a NY Post article, referenced in this CBC.ca article, William Shatner will soon release a new album -- produced by Ben Folds of Ben Folds Five fame. Guests are said to include country star Brad Paisley and former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins, whose performances have also been described from time to time as examples of "either impassioned intensity or pompous overacting."

The new album isn't the first foray into recording for the Montreal-born actor best known for playing James T. Kirk, the captain of the starship Enterprise on the original Star Trek series. In 1968, Shatner released his first album The Transformed Man, which includes spoken-word cover versions of the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man. Although Shatner intended The Transformed Man to be taken seriously, it's become something of a camp classic. The Hip Surgery Music Guide, an internet guide that celebrates offbeat musical genres, says the songs can be taken as examples of "either impassioned intensity or pompous overacting."

Xeni Jardin: Her voice sounds like the cry of a shy hamster in whose rectum a hot poker has just been inserted.

The New Zealand-based performer's squeaky, ear-shredding rendition of "Dancing Queen" ( Link: MP3) was featured in a South Park episode last week. I really need to get out on the internet more often, I don't know how I missed this -- Jesus, I just figured they'd made the character up.

Bnetd brief: a legal doc that *sings*

Bnetd brief: a legal doc that *sings* 02/18/2004 04:01 PM
Most legal briefs are boring and vaccilating, couched in a thousand maybes and coulds and other qualifiers. Thus, it's a pleasure to read a brief in which a lawyer lays down some muscular, no-nonsense prose in defense of a good cause.

My cow-orker Jason Schultz has just filed a breif the Southern District Court in the BNETD case, iin which Blizzard -- a Universal company that makes video games -- is suing some hackers who wrote their own free software version of Blizzard's game-server, called bnetd. The arguments from the other side are the height of bogosity, and Jason makes not bones about it in his brief. The prose here positively sings, and is as good a treatise on fair-use reverse engineering as you could hope to read.

First, as discussed in Defendants' opening brief, the dissimilarity between the "BATTLE.NET" and "bnetd project" marks alone warrants summary judgment for the Defendants on Blizzard's Count III. Also weighing heavily in Defendants' favor is the fact that Blizzard has still failed to come forward with any admissible evidence of actual customer confusion. Blizzard's sole set of ?evidence" are two hearsay statements in a declaration from Paul Sams, a Blizzard employee. These vague assertions regarding what other unnamed people have said when contacting Blizzard constitutes inadmissible hearsay, and therefore cannot be considered as evidence of actual confusion. Even if these statements were admissible, misdirected communications such as these have been considered in other cases to be ?de minimis and to show inattentiveness on the part of the caller or sender rather than actual confusion."

William Hung sings at a Jays game 05/31/2004 05:15 PM
William Hung is the nerdy Hong Kong-born engineering student who had a disastrous and very brave appearance on American Idol. The video of that audition made him into a net-celeb, and landed him a record deal, despite his off-key singing (his disc has sold over 100,000 copies!). His latest gig was singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at a Blue Jays game:

Hung's presence brought a gaggle of media usually indifferent to baseball to the game, including staff from Rolling Stone magazine. A team official said more media credentials were issued Sunday than on opening day.

Disneyland was quite a spot for Valentine's Day lovers on Saturday. I must say, however, that California Adventure was... about as exciting as Nebraska. We didn't get to ride the only ride worth riding because the line was too long - and the line for "gourmet" coffee was even longer. Still, I had a great time with my sweetheart. Jack Skellington memorabilia was all around (thanks to the Haunted Mansion redux), so I had to empty my wallet before leaving. $80 of it went to two jackets that would help keep our underdressed bodies warm in the evening hours. And since LEGO had an Imagination Center in Downtown Disney, I was also able to get a Darth Vader figurine to aid in the completion of my freshly-formed (out of the package) collection. Next year, perhaps I'll pick a slightly more secluded place to share time with that certain someone?...

Even better (read: not better), you can add "photo frames" to your images. Presumably you can scrawl on those, too.
