So this morning, during a momentary lull in my workday, I was perusing my huge and unorganized list of bookmarks when I ran across a bookmark to the Burma Shave section of The Fifties Web.
For those of you, like myself actually, who are to young to have witnessed them yourself, Burma Shave used to put advertising slogans on signs up and down the roads in the US. For more on this, you can check out the article at Wikipedia.
Here’s you a good one:
The wife Who keeps on Being kissed Always heads Her shopping list
Burma-Shave
It’s always nice to see that the Internet is being used to keep alive parts of our culture that might otherwise go by the wayside of progress.
At my local Linux users group meeting, someone brought up the Nerdcore HipHop music.
So if you are a nerd or a geek, then check out this Hip-Hop rhyme, called Kill Dash Nine.
I like the chorus:
KILL DASH NINE, No more CPU time. I run KILL DASH NINE, And your process is mine. I run KILL DASH NINE, ‘Cause it’s MY time to shine So don’t step outta line or else it’s
KILL DASH NINE!
Who says geek can’t be hip?
