via ck/ck via Marco:

I suppose that’s a major theme of this decade that has just been: the failure of companies to give the consumers what they want, which in turn has resulted in a culture where illegality, piracy and hacking is the norm.






Bravestar On Hulu
posted on Dec 31 2009

NO idea how I missed this, but one of my favorite childhood cartoons, Bravestar, is available for free on Hulu.

“The heck is Bravestar?” you may ask yourself. It’s a cartoon about a space cowboy. Seriously. And it’s the coolest.

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas.

    Hard to believe another year has come and gone, and Christmas Every Day comes to a close.

    Hope you enjoy the next 24 hours. Create some memories, eat too much, and if you wake up tomorrow morning with coal in your stocking… you probably deserve it.

    Luke 2:1-20 (King James Version)
    1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

    2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

    3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

    4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

    5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

    6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

    7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

    8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

    9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

    10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

    11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

    12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

    13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

    14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

    15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

    16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

    17And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

    18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

    19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

    20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
