FYI, FBI...
- Donovan: so I'm probably going to have to go with plan B
- Donovan: (you may be arrested for threatening arson, just a little heads up there)
- Donovan: woops
- Donovan: wrong window
- Donovan has left the conversation
- Donovan has disconnected
Update: Tumblr’s not a bowl of roses either
Bulk deleting posts is not possible in Tumbler (yet!), and I just switched over my Feedburner feed to this, so surprise! everyone gets to re-live all those old shares and tweets.
Isn’t the internet just grand…
PSA: Beware the Divel
So on the way to and from work I walk down 23rd Street across town, and I keep seeing a bunch of these crazy homemade ranting flyers all over the place. I’ve seen so many of them I finally decided to take some pictures and share them, because they seem pretty serious, and helpful for all yous about-to-become-bats out there…
Mic check, one two one two…
What the hell is this nonsense, words written by me being displayed somewhere on the internets for public consumption? This hasn’t been done in…months! There hasn’t even been an ImJasonH.com since May.
I mean, I’m not saying there will necessarily be much of an ImJasonH.com from this point on, but at least there’s something here, right?
Also, this is going to be on Tumblr from now on (until I decide to change). Blogger was fun, but holy damn it was absolutely impossible to set up custom domains on that nonsense. So here I am, settling for second best.
So I guess you can look forward to another three or four posts in the next couple weeks, then radio silence, then an unresponsive domain in a couple months. ‘Cause that’s how I roll, bitches.
ImJasonH: @fitzymj Yeah but I don’t have to drive the train. Also, bootleg DVDs.
ImJasonH: 3.09 a gallon?! I miss you, MTA…
ImJasonH: Decemberists tour cancelled?! NOOOO!!!
Mark Twain And An Angel Named Satan
Released in 1985, The Adventures of Mark Twain is the creation of Will Vinton, best known for The California Raisins. The movie is a series of vignettes based on Twain’s stories and his life. The overarching plot of the film is that Twain, disgusted with people and society, boards a riverboat-airship in order to collide with Haley’s Comet and end his own life. He is joined on his terminal adventure by Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and Becky Thatcher, who are attempting to convince Twain that life is worth living.
This particular vignette is based on Twain’s short story The Mysterious Stranger, which he rewrote several times as The Chronicles of Young Satan, Schoolhouse Hill, and No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger and which remained unpublished until after his death. Schoolhouse Hill is the only one that features Tom and Huck but all prominently feature the character of Satan, or No. 44.
Satan does our three diminutive counselors no favors, as it pontificates on the greed and pettiness of man’s existence while putting on a lilliputian play on its floating island in the middle of an expansive sea of nothing. The mood is appropriately dark and malevolent -despite Satan’s assurance that it can “do no wrong, for I do not know what it is”- and the pacing of Satan’s simmering disgust is perfect. The final frames of its monologue, as its mask becomes a glint in Twain’s eye, are quite haunting. Some truly superb claymation.

Rumormonger: Microsoft to make big changes at Facebook
Microsoft is rumored to have completed a deal to acquire a stake in Facebook and expand its current advertising deal. And Facebook Director or Brandee Barker even confirmed the news, if inadvertently. And now, we’re already hearing rumors of how exactly Microsoft plans to stir things up on the social network’s website.
Here’s what we’ve gathered so far:
- Facebook will split into two brands, MSNFB.com and Facebook Live.
- Facebook Friends Finder Enterprise Edition 2.11
- Install too many apps, and you get a blue screen of death instead of zombies.
- Outlook to add integrated “poke” feature by 2011.
- No more overnight updates to Facebook. New plan: Wait until Apple launches a social network, then upgrade.
- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer eats Mark Zuckerberg’s brains.
Heard anything else? Microsoft and Facebook welcome your crowdsourced feature ideas in the comments.
