My first deck was a Heat Zone by Nash about 8 or 9 years ago—now that was a crappy skateboard. ☯93MAY
I had a Nash Nightmare.
It was a crappy skateboard.

Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed
Wondering what to do
With a lump of wood, a piece of wire
And a little pot of glue
O Mamma O Mamma
He sawed at the wood with half a heart
And glued it top to bottom
He strung a wire in between
He was feeling something rotten
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus looked at his instrument
And he gave the wire a pluck
He heard a sound so beautiful
He gasped and said O my God
O Mamma O Mamma
He rushed inside to tell his wife
He went racing down the halls
Eurydice was still asleep in bed
Like a sack of cannonballs
O Mamma O Mamma
Look what I’ve made, cried Orpheus
And he plucked a gentle note
Eurydice’s eyes popped from their sockets
And her tongue burst through her throat
O Mamma O Mamma
O God, what have I done, he said
As her blood pooled in the sheets
But in his heart he felt a bliss
With which nothing could compete
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus went leaping through the fields
Strumming as hard as he did please
Birdies detonated in the sky
Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus strummed till his fingers bled
He hit a G minor 7
He woke up God from a deep, deep sleep
God was a major player in heaven
O Mamma O Mamma
God picked up a giant hammer
And He threw it with an thunderous yell
It smashed down hard on Orpheus’ head
And knocked him down a well
O Mamma O Mamma
The well went down very deep
Very deep went down the well
The well went down so very deep
Well, the well went down to hell
O Mamma O Mamma
Poor Orpheus woke up with a start
All amongst the rotting dead
His lyre tacked safe under his arm
His brains all down his head
O Mamma O Mamma
Eurydice appeared brindled in blood
And she said to Orpheus
If you play that fucking thing down here
I’ll stick it up your orifice!
O Mamma O Mamma
This lyre lark is for the birds, said Orpheus
It’s enough to send you bats
Let’s stay down here, Eurydice, dear
And we’ll have a bunch of screaming brats
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus picked up his lyre for the last time
He was on a real low down bummer
And stared deep into the abyss and said
This one is for Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma

Ooh ooh
Now this is the story all about how
We’re no strangers to love
My life got flipped, turned upside down
You know the rules and so do I
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
In west Philadelphia born and raised
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Gotta make you understand
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
We’ve known each other for so long
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
Your heart’s been aching but
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
You’re too shy to say it
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
Inside we both know what’s been going on
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And said “You’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air”
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
the License plate said “fresh” and had a dice in the mirror
We’ve know each other for so long
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
Your heart’s been aching
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!
You’re too shy to say it
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
Inside we both know what’s been going on
And I yelled to the cabby “Yo, homes smell you later!”
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Voyager Golden Record, a set by Golden Record on Flickr.
This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.
We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 million stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some—perhaps many—may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:
This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. we are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.
Jimmy Carter
President of the United States of America

Following the worldwide success of the ‘Paul’s Boutique’ remix project 'Caught In The Middle of A 3 Way Mix’ (produced with fellow Solid Steel DJs; Moneyshot and DJ Food) DJ Cheeba returns with another documentary style mix charting the huge influence and mass appeal of arguably the greatest rock band of all time: Led Zeppelin.
This mix has been made to coincide with the release of 'Celebration Day’ and digs chronologically through the band’s first six albums (1969-1975), picking out key tracks, their influences, subsequent covers and some of the notable examples of where they were sampled in hip hop, dance music and pop.
From 'Good Times, Bad Times’ to 'Kashmir’ this is a DJ mix made for everyone from the die hard fans who were there in 69’ to the kids who only know the name from the iconic tee shirts. Turn it up loud… there’s no other way to hear it!
There is a permanent download link here: http://www.djcheeba.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/LED-ZEPPELIN-Remastered-Remixed-and-Sampled.mp3

Steinski: I called up one or two people at CBS and I sort of delineated the project for them and they - out of hand - they just went, “Wow! Y’know, good luck, buddy. You’ll never get that kind of permission from us.” And so I thought, Ah the hell with it, so I’ll just do it.
John: They just, they laughed at you, it sounds like.
Steinski: Well yeah. Well I would too if I was them.
John: Yeah, but isn’t it arguable that given the media’s involvement in making that occurrence such a public one that we should be allowed to use the media to express our own personal experiences of the event?
Steinksi: Nope.
John: You don’t think so?
Steinski: I don’t buy it. Hell no, man! I mean if I owned the copyright to Walter Kronkite? That’s mine, period. Forget it.
John: So you respect copyright?
Steinski: Well, I respect it in theory, I obviously don’t respect it in fact.
John: How do you justify that, then?
Steinski: I don’t. This is what I do, man. God put me on Earth to make these records, y’know, so the rest is all commentary. I’m gonna make the records. I don’t even think about it too much to tell you the truth.

Full screen Safari needs more love. A Macbook Air running OS X Lion with all apps full screened and navigated using swipe gestures really is the bee’s knee’s and Safari is the last non-chat app that I use that doesn’t conform well.
I’d like to see nothing but the website in full screen mode. Naively, I tried to hide the toolbar with ⌘-| but nothing happened. The menubar’s View -> Hide Toolbar is also disabled.
But, the toolbar’s Hide Toolbar context (right click) menu isn’t disabled and works as expected.
But, after hiding the toolbar, there’s nowhere to right click to get it back. And ⌘-L, which makes the toolbar reappear briefly to accept commands in a the windowed Safari.app, doesn’t make the toolbar show up either. So, if you want to go on to the next thing, you have to literally exit full screen mode first.
Full screen in Safari should actually be full bleed. All chrome should disappear. Welp,
