What the hell happened to hip hop?

It seems to me that hip hop that is popular now is nothing more than baggy pants, bling bling, and unintelligible hoots and hollers repeated in a rhythmic manner.

It's great to make fun of, but not to so good to hear.

What? What? What? OK!!

Oh Little John, you are so funny.

Too many geek questions that I don't have an answer for.

Please let me know if you have the answer to any of these questions.

1. In the year 2154 Dr. Arik Soong tries to revive genetic engineering by capturing embryos from a space station to raise them on a remote planet. The embryos are ones left over from the eugenics wars of the late 20th and early 21st century on earth. In 2338 a Dr. Noonien Soong builds Data. I will not explain Data because if you know me and are reading this then you know who Data is. The question. Is Dr. Noonien Soong a descendent of Dr. Arik Soong? And furthermore, the man who came to power and ruled over a large portion of the earth during the eugenics wars was Khan Singh. Khan's middle name is Noonien. Is this just a coincidence? Was Dr. Noonien Soong named after Khan?

There are two books that chronicle the rise of Khan Singh, I should read these. It might answer some questions.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, that's what the customers I've dealt with today are, Stupid. I don't expect everyone to know everything and I especially don't expect the average
joe to know anything about photo reproduction. But I do. Know everything and especially about
photo reproduction. Today it took me 20 minutes to explain to a customer why a color photocopy of a Polaroid (no shaking it) would not work as a submission for our custom photo ornament.

Let me explain, we sell ornaments that can be personalized with your photo. We take the photo and make it the front of the ornament, put your own message on the back and send 'em on out. The ornament is 3 x 5, so the larger and crisper the photo you send in, the better of a digital file we have to work from when the ornament is made. So an ornament made from a scan of a color photocopy of the original Polaroid (still no shaking it) will quite frankly, suck. It will suck a lot of balls. The best part of all of this is that at some point during the conversation the customer tells me that she is purchasing these for her secretaries, as she is there boss, in a large company, where she makes six figures. Now, how can someone who is in such a position of power not know anything about the process. Again I don't expect them to know the whole process, but I am sure that just about anyone who works in an office would know that a copy of a copy of a crappy original won't work for much other that wiping your ass or kindling for starting a fire. I mean I even had to explain what a digital scan was to this person. I suppose that this persons knowledge could be so great and specified as to the exclusion of just about everything else but I don't think so, I am pretty sure that they are just stupid.

zzzzz, zzzzz, zzzzz, zzzzz, zzzzz.

Bluughgh, huh. What? Oh, hello. Your here. Nice to see you.
Please, excuse me, I'm afraid I passed out. I'm sure I look just frightful.

Why don't you go into the parlor and fix yourself a drink, I just want to freshen up a little.
Please, make yourself at home.
I'll be along shortly.
