Traffic Jam I guess I should update the Blizog so The Bloggerman doesn't cancel my account. This is what i came up with... Probably the best track off Traffic's recently released DVD The Last Great Traffic Jam, here's the video of Jerry Garcia sitting in on Dear Mr. Fantasy at Soldier Field in '94.
Add me to the growing list of poeple have that have recieved a free Ipod from FreeIpods.com. All you have to do is sign up through the link, complete an "offer" (I chose the free trial membership to Blockbuster's online video membership), and then get six other people to sign up and complete an offer. Within a month of completing the requirements my ipod showed up at my door absolutely free.
This guy has links to some really amazing tsunami videos and a bunch of other tsunami related content. Check out the video from Phucket Beach, Thailand (11.5MB). It's crazy.
By the way, Amazon has made it super easy to donate to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

Just in time for the 2004 NFL season Tailgate Outdoorwear is offering Belichick for President bumperstickers and t-shirts. Finally a candidate worth supporting. Go Patriots!
I started using Google's new free Gmail email service last week. It's pretty slick. You get 1000MBs of storage space, full search functionality, a nice interface, the date and time stamps are actually accurate (unlike Yahoo Mail), and you can import your contacts list from Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook or whatever. I think it's just a matter of time before I make the full switch from Yahoo to Gmail.
Gmail is still in beta testing mode so you'll need an invite to get an account. Special thanks to ddy for my invite. If you don't have any friends try the Gmail Giving Tree where you can sign up for an Gmail invite as long as you agree to send your "invite a friend" offers back to the others on the list.
The Burlington Free Press is looking for Phish Phans to share their stories and early photos. Got a good story? Send it in. Maybe you'll be part of the Phish tribute their working on. I would but I don't think any of my stories are fit for print.
Why is this seemingly happy newlywed the most embarrassed man in America today you ask? I'll tell you why. Because his 23 year old teacher wife, Mrs. Debra Lafave, was just arrested for screwing one of her 14 year old students! To further humiliate the poor sap, The Smoking Gun has the affidavit which states that Mrs. Lafave told the student that she was "having sexual inadequacy problems with her husband". Really? You don't say.
It turns out Nickelback's "hit song" from 2001, How You Remind Me, is pretty much the exact same freakin song as their 2003 "hit" Someday. The Webshite has a niftly little audio mix page that proves it.
If this means you need to find a new favorite band, give Music Plasma a try. It's a tool to help you "identify all the artists fitting your musical tastes". It's actually pretty amusing.
So it's come to my attention that a good portion of The Blizog's traffic still comes from random "paris hilton sex tape" searches. With that in mind I've decided to throw these Paris sex tape searchers a bone and deliver direct links to the full, unabridged 40 minute Paris Hilton/Rick Solomon sex fest (as presented by Kontraband.com). Enjoy!
Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the murder of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. Probably the second biggest news story of our generation. Bill Simmons recounts the whole thing from the low speed Bronco chase to the bungled murder trial. Do you remember where you were when the verdict was read?
Trey Anastasio spoke about the band's decision to break up on The Charlie Rose Show last night. If you missed it you can download the entire interview here. (77MB .wma)
The Blizog returns from a 4 month hiatus to bring you some shitty news. According to an announcement from Trey on Phish's website today the show in Coventry, VT in August will be Phish's final show ever. Not a hiatus - they're done. Something about feelings and respect and blah blah blah. Those guys are worse then a bunch of girls sometimes. Why can't they just play the damn music and stop thinking about everything so much?
So it's looking like the H3T mid-sized pickup truck from Hummer that was unveiled at the North American International auto Show in Detroit is likely to go into production in 2005 along side a new mid-sized H3 sport utility. The H3T was developed in collaboration with Nike and incorporates a bunch of badass features. There's some cool pics a nice little article about it here.
Someone at the Associated Press is looking for a new job today after accidentally leaking an internal list containing the personal phone numbers of over 600 professional sports figures. You may have already got the list via email but if you didn't here it is. Just promise me you won't call Pete Rose pretending to be his bookie...he's getting tired of that one.
NASCAR officials are apparently on the verge of finalizing a 10 race playoff system that will determine the Nextel Cup Champion in 2004. The new playoff system will likely put more emphasis on winning after Matt Kenseth was crowned 2003 Cup Champion after winning only one race all year. Ryan Newman who won eight races last season finished all the way down in sixth place in the Cup standings.

The only thing better than Chad Pennington's 5 interception meltdown at the Meadowlands Saturday night at the hands of the Patriots was Joe Namath's now infamous sideline interview with ESPN's Suzy Kolber. In case you didn't catch the inebriated Namath professing his love to Kolber in spectacularly embarrassing fashion on national TV Saturday night, you can download the video here. (324K .wmv)
Worried that Santa won't be bringing you anything this year because you've been naughty? Well it's too late, there's nothing you can do now. You should have though of that when you were being a jerk. You can at least clear your conscience by confessing your sins anonymously at grouphug.us. Or just browse through and laugh at other people's pathetic confessions.
The second Noreaster of the year rolled through vermont sunday night dumping another 20 inches of snow on us. This time I had my camera ready and made a little time elapse movie of the storm. This 81 second film goes from about 4pm Sunday afternoon until about 8am Monday morning and is made up of almost 700 still photos.
These are some interesting photo projects. Watch the Goldberg family age before your very eyes. See the Brown sisters go from young and beautiful to old and wrinkled in just 25 years.

Oh, and in case you were wondering what it would look like if you sliced someone up like a block of cheese, here are some full color cross-section images of the human body. If pretty amazing if you don't get too grossed out. If you liked that check out the video which takes all the way from head to toe.
The Patriots moved into first place in the AFC and clinched the AFC East Championship by shutting out the Dolphins yesterday at a snow covered Gillette Stadium. Good use was made of the 28+ inches of snow that had falled on Foxboro as the fans created one of the coolest celebration spectacles ever seen at a sporting event. Like fireworks at a rock concert, snow fountains were spouting off in unison throughout the stadium to the "hey!" part of Hey Song as fans threw snow in the air and danced in the aisles.
Go to Google, type in "miserable failure" and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. (Note: The search result isn't necessarily my opinion, I just though it was amusing.)
I love this guy! He actually made the effort to interact directly with Sox fans by posting on a Red Sox messageboard at 3am on the night before his trade was finalized. How cool is that? Here's what he said about the experience at a news conference announcing the trade on Friday...
"I don't know what role it played, but it left a huge impression on me, I was overwhelmed at their passion, at their incredible desire for this to work out. They all had their own ideas, most of them being to screw the Yankees. But I was overwhelmed. I was in awe of their intensity in November when the Patriots are playing and the Celtics are playing and they're having good years, and the Bruins. It was pretty awesome."
Enraged that Apple wants to charge him $255 to replace the dead battery in his 18 month old iPod, this guy has embarked on a one man crusade to spread the word about the iPod's dirty little secret.
I was reading ApeChild.com this morning and came across the Web Fire Escape. Designed for those of us who surf the web at work, it's basically a panic button that'll quickly take you to a work safe website or fake document of your choosing if your boss pops in. Wait, couldn't you do basically the same thing with the "home" button on your browser? Oh well. I'm a sucker for new gadgets so i've installed the button over on the left anyway. Click here to customize your escape route.
The G4 CubeQuarium is a slick looking fish tank some guy made from an old Apple computer.
Time Magazine has announced their Inventions of the Year for 2003. Topping the list is the i Tunes Music Store. Apparently Time forgot about a little invention from a few year back called Napster where you could download any song you wanted for free.
Can you believe Len Bias would have turned 40 years old yesterday? Forty! I can remember exactly where I was when I learned Bias had died but I think I was too young to fully comprehend how big of a loss it was. Bob Ryan's "what if" piece in the Boston Globe really gives it some perspective.
The green drapes are coming down at Giant's Stadium. The NY Jets are expected to announce plans to build their own billion dollar stadium on Manhattan's West side. By the looks of it it's going to be pretty sweet. It's about time they joined the rest of the NFL and got their own damn stadium.
It hit the internet late last night and is already spreading like a California wildfire! Download the Paris Hilton sex tape video here! (4.2MB - VERY NSFW)
I recently came across Gizmodo - The Gadgets Weblog. It's a very well written and informative site that's constantly being updated with blurbs and links to all the latest gadgets, gizmos, and electronics. I love this shit.
The much anticipated NFL Network launches tonight at 8:00pm. The NFL will dust off the 100 million square foot NFL Films library to give the fans original NFL programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round. Unfortunately, unless you're a DirecTV subscriber you probably won't be getting it as there are currently only a very limited number of cable operators on board. You can check here to see if you cable company is one of them.
Heres' a website you'll probably never use but it's still cool. Say you hear a song on the radio on your way home from work and want to know who it is. Log on to Yes.net, enter the radio station and the approximate time the song was played, and it'll tell you what the song was. It's kinda fun just to scroll through the playlists from the past 24hrs to see how shitty they actually are.
The latest must have auto accessory is known as MIRT (mobile infrared transmitter). It's a $300 dashboard device that changes red traffic lights to green with the push of a button. Yeeehaaaa!
Imagine my surprise last night when I was sitting at my computer playing with my camera and this head on collision happened right in front of me. Yeah, I was bored.
Don't be alarmed if your cellphone stops working and your lights go out this afternoon, it's probably just the mass ejection of magnetic material that's expected to hit Earth around 3:00pm today.

Hey Sox fans, at least we still have Bill Simmons.
The way the Red Sox will rip your heart out and stomp on it. Congratulations Yankee fans. Way to go. Rooting for the Yankees is the equivelant of rooting for Ticketmaster. Yippee. Let me know who wins the World Series...I'll be watching football.
So far the best thing about this year's MLB postseason is a couple of promising new domain names that have popped up in honor of two infamous fans. As I mentioned a couple days ago someone registered edillel.com (still no activity there). Now we can also look forward to steverbartman.com (and .net) brought to you by the Money Grubbing Partners organization. [Update: i've just learned via DeadParrot.net that the Money Grubbers are attempting to sell the domain names on Ebay.] There's also stevebartman.org which is live and soliciting responses to the question "What would YOU have done?"
By the way, hate to kick a man when he's down but here's a page with a link to the video of Steve Bartman being escorted from his seat by security the other night. Also check out ebay for all your Steve Bartman merchandise. You'll find everything from "Support Steve Bartman" stickers to "Curse of the Headphoned Dork" T-shirts. Oh, and it you're waiting for the movie version, that'll be out soon enough. Tentatively titled "Fan Interference", it's expected to star Kevin James of the CBS show "King of Queens". I wish I were kidding.
Here's a cool Google trick I just learned. Find out who's linking to your site, or any site for that matter, by using the Google link qeury. Just type "link:" followed by the URL of a website (no spaces) into Google and it'll show you everyone that's linking to that page. Not a lot of people linking to The Blizog these day. Props to Apechild and Random Crap though. You can learn about all the different Google query types here.
MSN Auto has a nice little gallery of cars of the (near) future. These are new or redesigned models set for production in 2004 and 2005. Included are the all new Ford GT supercar, an impressive looking new Mustang for 2005, the return of the Pontiac GTO, the badass Dodge SRT-8 Magnum wagon, and the "Baby Lambo", a new smaller, supposedly more affordable, Lamborghini.
Nobody, that's who. Not one single person. Red Sox vs. Yankees. Pedro vs. Rocket. Winner goes to the World Series. An instant classic. There's nothing else to say thathasn'talreadybeenplasteredallovertheinternettoday.
The Cubs
The Red Sox may me cursed but at least their fans aren't. Some Cubs fan may have cost his team a trip to the World Series last night by sticking his hand out preventing Moises Alou from making the second out in what ended up being an eight run 8th inning rally for the Marlins. If the Cubs lose the series this unidentified 26 year old fan will be the biggest goat in baseball since Bill Buckner.
[update] The Smoking Gun has uncovered the identity of the unfortunate Chicago Cubs fan. World, meet Steve Bartman. According to the Chicago Tribune the fans weren't too nice to Steve following the incident. Yikes, i'm almost starting to feel bad for him.
Caught on tape...a Nebraska football player levels a Missouri fan with one punch after Missouri stunned the Cornhuskers 41-24 on Saturday.
Props to Vermont for finishing 2nd in the Smartest State Rankings. The rankings measure the quality of state elementary and secondary education. Massachusettes finished first overall with Nevada and New Mexico rounding out the bottom of the list. Consider using your state's poor ranking as an excuse for not doing well in college.
If you haven't heard of Ed Hillel yet than you missed one of the funniest episodes i've seen in baseball in a long time last night. Ed was interviewed in the stands at Yankee stadium about the controversial Red Sox home run that was initially ruled a foul ball before being overturned by the home plate umpire. During the interview, on national TV, Ed claimed that he saw the play and he was sure that the ball would have landed in foul territory had it not been touched by another fan first (that fan was smart enough to get out of there when the press showed up). Further review of the replay showed that not only was Ed full of shit, he was over on the other side of the foul pole looking up in the opposite direction of the action! The announcers had no mercy on poor Ed, keeping the running joke going throughout the game and repeatedly putting the camera on him and flashing a "objective" fan graphic under him. Good stuff. I hope Ed enjoyed his 5 minutes as much as the rest of us did.
Also, keep an eye on www.edhillel.com. It appears someone wasted no time registering the domain name. There's nothing there yet but i'm looking forward to see what what they have in store. Who knows, maybe Ed Hillel's 5 minutes of fame isn't up just yet.
Buying stolen properties, pimpin hoes, building crack houses, paying protection fees, and getting car jacked are some of elements of the controversial new Monopoly spinoff, Ghettopoly. Also comming soon: Hoodopoly, Hiphopopoly, Thugopoly, and Redneckopoly.

Bill Simmons, probably my favorite sports writer of all time, has a new mailbag column up today. Here's a couple I got a chuckle out of...
Q: You know how we all have that buddy who can't keep his mouth shut -- the guy that everyone is uncomfortable having around your girlfriend following a night out with the guys? Well, the Las Vegas Tourism Board is officially That Guy. "What Happens Here, Stays Here"? What type of slogan is that to be throwing across the TV three weeks before I head to Vegas with the guys? -- Jeff McFarland, N. Weymouth, MA
SG: Great point. Every time that commercial comes on TV, the Sports Gal practically stops breathing. Could that be a MORE counterproductive ad? Who would possibly think up such a thing? What's wrong with a generic "Vegas, baby!" ad? Would that have hurt anybody? It's like somebody was working for an ad agency and couldn't get himself a girlfriend, so he decided to ruin everyone else's fun in the process. He's like the Patient X of Vegas.
Q: My whistles go 'Woo'. How do your whistles go? -- Dennis M, Philadelphia
So i'm still uploading new photos to my Fotolog nearly every day. It really is quite addicting but like any good addiction, I often find myself wanting more.
Fotola is sort of a Fotolog ripoff, or maybe spinoff is a better way to put it. While Fotolog.net is revered for it's simplicity, Fotola.com seems just the opposite. Fotola is more of a weblog/photolog combination designed for the power user. It's loaded with all sorts of cool options and setting and freatures that set it apart from Fotolog. Click on the image on the left side of this page to check out my Fotola (that's one of the cool new features).
If you think it's something you might be into head over and sign up. It's currently still in the beta testing phase but once it goes live anyone that was on board for the beta testing will get upgraded to a premium account for free.
Who hasn't dreamt of shoving someone down a flight of stairs? I know I have. In the simple, cruel, and strangely addictive game of Stair Dismount you get to do it over and over. The object is to score points by inflicting as much pain as possible on a guy by shoving him down the stairs. The are only three variables in the game: 1) How hard you shove the guy. 2) Where you shove him. 3) At what angle you shove him. Hit the dismount button and watch as the guy falls down the stairs in slow motion racking up points as he tumbles. Give it a try. My high score so far is 86,697.
There's also a new version called Truck Dismount. In this version you set the stiff in, on, and in front of a truck, then send the truck careening toward a wall. Other variables include the speed of the truck and the position of the two optional ramps. This vesion is a little overwhelming at first with so many varaibles. I think I still prefer the simplicity of the original but this looks like a good sequal for the more advanced Dismount players. My high score so far is only 40,647.
(Note: These games are downloads and can only be played on a Windows based PC.)

A fellow by the name of Floin at Fark.com sums up what Johnny Cash was all about...
I'm trying to understand why JC's death seems to be affecting me so much this morning. I never saw him live, never met him, never shook his hand. I've never really cared too much when a celebrity has died; sure, they won't be making any more songs/movies/books/art, but they are as far removed from me and the reality of my life as possible.
But Johnny's a different story. He was tougher than John Wayne and cooler than James Dean. It's appropriate that the only things I can think to compare him to are other iconic celebrities that loom large in the mythology of American culture. Johnny was the hard-as-nails cool-as-ice badass SOB we all secretly wanted to be when we grew up; he lived the hard-drinkin' hard-fightin' hard-lovin' life we've come to idolize, and he did it all without ever losing his dignity, grace, or charm.
And his music: Johnny didn't sing truth, he WAS truth. He sang from the soul and touched everyone who heard him. When he sang about life or death or love, you knew he was singing from experience, you could hear his scars in his words. This was a man baring his soul to you in everything he put forth, and he didn't even ask that you refrain from hurting him, he'd been down that road before and no pain you could cause could be greater than what he had already endured.
His pain was theraputic; nothing you could ever go through would be even half as bad as what Johnny had, and somehow that was soothing. Now matter how low I've felt, I know that he's been lower, and he survived.
So now I sit here like a big baby and cry. I cry because the part inside me that still wants to be the hard-livin' man he was has lost a role-model. I cry because my safety net of knowing someone's had it worse than me is gone. I cry because he represented everything that should have been and never was, and now never will be.
When he gets to where he's going, at least I can rest assured that I know how he'll introduce himself to the gatekeeper:
There's a group fotolog at fotolog.net where users have been uploading photos relating to the September 11th terrorist attacks. It's a pretty good collection of personal photos and stories that are different than everything you've probably seen in the media. Check it out.
Get outside tonight and look up because Mars will be closer than it's been since Neanderthals roamed the Earth almost 60,000 years ago. Mars and Earth have been drawing nearly 1 million miles closer each day this month. Tonight the two planets will reach their closest point of about 34 million miles apart. None of us will be alive the next time they come this close in the year 2287.
Here's some perspective...
Normally if you were to make a miniature model of our solar system with one inch equaling one million miles and a beach ball representing the Sun, you`d have a ping pong ball for Mercury about three feet away, a tennis ball for Venus set at six feet away, another one for the Earth at 9.3 feet away, and one for Mars at 14 feet away. Using that model, this month Mars will be only about three feet away. To put that all into perspective, the closest star to Earth would be a tiny ball about 400 miles away.
Visit my fotolog to see a picture I took of Mars from my back porch last week. Or for an even better photo check out this one on noahoneye's fotolog.
Small time music traders can breathe a small sigh of relief today. In a letter to a Senate Subcommittee, RIAA president Cary Sherman wrote "The RIAA is in no way targeting 'de minimis' users. The RIAA is gathering evidence and preparing lawsuits only against individual computer users who are illegally distributing a substantial amount of copyrighted music." No word on what exactly constitutes a "substantial amount of music", but evidently the tens of thousands of songs that were being distributed by the college students they brought cases against last year would be a good start.

If you're still surfing the web without a pop-up blocker like I was until two days ago, do youself a favor and go download this new and improved version of the Google Toolbar. The automatic pop-up blocker is the best thing since before the X10 wireless camera people started littering the internet with pop-up ads.
And for the super lazy, Google had come up with an effortless way to search the web. The Google Viewer displays your search results as web pages in a continuous slide show so you can just sit back and sip on your coffee as the pages scroll by.
"The programme takes ten minutes to install and every computer in a company is under surveillance. Mouse movements and keyboard strokes are all recorded, letting managers see what employees are watching on the net, who they are e-mailing and which sites they have logged on to."
Here's the video and the story of the woman who died in the Toughman contest in Florida. This could be the last straw for the amateur Toughman competitions. Even ultimate fighting is more legit than this. At least those guys are trained fighters who know how to protect themselves.

You know how sometimes you wonder how you ever managed to get by before you had a cell phone or before there were ATM machines? Well I predict that 10 years from now we'll all be musing about the days of eating hot dogs before the Octodog frankfurter converter.
Jeep has come out with a pretty cool all-wheel-drive mountain bike called the Rubicon. An amazing feat of engineering for sure, unfortunately you still have to peddle it. For my money...i'd rather have something like this.
Finally some decent halftime entertainment is being scheduled for the Super Bowl. Instead of suffering through the 18 bagillionth year of computer animated beer bottles playing football or some stupid "Up With People" musical crap, we'll have the option (pay-per-view option) of watching lingerie models play a game of 7 on 7 tackle football in Lingerie Bowl 2004.
I barely find the time to read the one magazine I actually paid for yet I keep sigining up for more of these free ones. Here's yet another free one year subscription, this time to Blender.
Being someone that's always looking for new ways to gamble, I was pretty excited this morning when I came across this new dice game called C-Low . It has all the qualities of a great party game: simple, fast paced, involves money, and is conducive to lots of hooting and hollering. Can't wait to give it a try this weekend. (Disclaimer: the directions appear to have been written by a member of the Icy Hot Stuntaz, but you don't gots to be a wigger to play C-Low.)
And here's the freebie of the week. Fill out a short five question survey and plug in a bogus email address to get your free one year subscription to E-Gear magazine - "for the gadget prone who lead a high-tech lifestyle".
The website for Phish's 2 day "IT" festival in Limestone, Maine went live today. The festival is expected to draw about 60,000 people, making it the second largest city in the state during the first weekend in August. The website is pretty slick, definately worth checking out if you plan on going. The photos in the past events section will bring back some memories if you were at any of the previous festivals.
You can also catch Phish doing the National Antham at tonight's Spurs-Nets NBA Finals game at 8:00pm on ABC.
Sticking with the theme, here are some interesting facts such a this one: 70% of Americans claim to have had an "unforgettable moment" in the bathroom.
Thanks to ddy for turning me on to Fotolog.net, a free "photoblogging" website. They're now limiting the number of photos those of us with the free memberships are allowed to upload to our fotologs every day. Even so, it's still pretty cool. And if you get really into it you can get a paid membership for $5/month which will increase you limits. Check out my fotolog here.

So what if he's a 3yr old with a shoe deal. The kid has mad hoop skills! Plus Reebok is paying him in the form of a college trust fund so it's not like he'll be rolling to grade school on an Escalade Bigwheel on 20's. Check out the videos...the one where he sinks 18 straight is pretty amazing.
Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".

Went fishing over weekend for the first time this year. Didn't catch a damn thing, didn't even get a bite, not even a nibble in fact. I'm hoping this free no strings attached two year subscription to Field & Steam is going turn get me on track.
According to a study done by researchers at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, drinking alcohol may actually boost good judgment. Keep in mind though, this was a study performed by Canadians on Canadians. You might want to think twice before pounding a 6-pack in your car on your way to your next job interview.

The US Government revealed the design for the new $20 note today. The new $20's won't begin circulating until late this fall but apparently the treasury wanted to give counterfeiters a head start. Redesigned $50's and $100's will follow in 2004 and 2005. The most notable difference is the addition of subtle background colors of green and peach on the $20's.
