"Some People Say Rappers Don't Have Feelings"

"We have feelings.
Some people say we're not rappers.
It hurts our feelings when you say we're not rappers."

-Flight of the Conchords


So, we ("Z" and myself) wrote and recorded a rap until 3:30 am on Friday. That was a new experience.

I knew rap was difficult, but this was a surprise.

I'd post it here, but due to the nature of my job, it's over on my semi-anonymous co-MC's blog.
He's a better rapper than I, and it's got three samples from Clifford.

Go Iran

If you're going to only click one link, click here.

A guy at work used to do news and did a story on Iran. He said that it was one of the most wired countries in the world.

The election demonstrations are incredible, seeing them live-blogged is equally amazing. Despite turning off text messaging, Gmail, Yahoo, etc, we're still seeing this stuff more vividly than ever.

The stuff that's coming out of Iran (and beyond) is incredible in so many ways: censorship workarounds, Twitter, student bravery, picasa blogs, cops shooting into crowds, even sports coverage. If you scroll down some of those #iranelection feeds to when events were just heating up, it's shocking. A friend in Australia called it a tapestry of dissent.

The other day, someone said something that I'd never thought I'd feel: Go Iran.

Beach Living Has Perks

It's been fantastic weather, and we had a lil' picnic with the Smiths over at Bay Street.

The surf was really fun, and the kids ran themselves silly.



Also, the surf was really fun.
