Artificial Night Shall Be No More

So, in light of a lot of things not limited to, but including:

1. A personal preference for minimalism.
2. Google's recent trend away from its "Don't Be Evil" mantra.
3. Some synergy in my online productivity.
4. A personal preference for relative ease of use in aforementioned online productivity.

I've decided to take my full-time blogging over to Tumblr. I've had a Tumblr for a while now, and it's just a reality that I use it, and Twitter, as my main online outlets. I'm only producing one long blog post a month here, roughly, whereas I post on Tumblr multiple times a day. Splitting those two up seems stupid.

As much as I've loved having something called "Artificial Night" in my life, and all the little sidebar widgets, well, it's just not worth it anymore to divide my somewhat paltry readership.

I'm not going to re-direct joestracci.com just yet, so this will still be here for a while, but if you want a daily dose of music and technology and food and videos and all-around general wittiness, update your bookmarks to:

joestracci.org

See you then.

Impossible Is Nothing

Table Tennis Clip Art. Of course it exists, dummy.

As 2012 approaches, so do the "Top ____ of 2011" lists. None of them will be as glorious as the one I'm about to comment on. I've watched this video way too many times already, and at first, I wasn't going to write anything, but then I started watching the video, and about a minute in, I was like, OK, I'm writing a blog post.

Then, after two minutes, I was like, no, this is just a Tumblr post, not a whole blog post.

And then I got the end and I had so many ideas and questions, I was like, I just have to.

Subtle Sexist Symbolism

How would this image differ if Watch The Throne was the creation of two female artists?

So now that Hot 97 and Power 105 have finally stopped just straight up looping Watch The Throne (Drake much?), I think it's safe to start writing about it, at least in some form, just because it's not often that All Star Teams are put together and succeed in winning a championship.

But I'm not going to do that here. Instead, I just wanted to take a minute to highlight something that occurred at last night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (apparently I'm supposed to capitalize fashion and show).
