Future Uses the Internet, Part 50,000,000
The novel is coming along swimmingly. I can’t believe it took me this long. One of the first things I figured out is that getting to 1000 words a day is cake. Now, it might take a while to make those 1000 words something special, and they have to describe a story that is worth telling, but if you write 1000 words every day for a little more than three months you have a 100,000 word novel. If you do it for a year you have something epic. If you’re interested in keeping up, here’s my NaNoWriMo profile.
More cool stuff:
“Hero of War” by Rise Against
“Handlebars” by Flobots
I hope you won’t think me presumptuous if I assume you like music. If you don’t, uh, I hope you have a good grounding routine for it. If you like music, and you aren’t using Pandora, you really ought to. I tend to listen to the same thing over and over again, and I’m glad there’s something like Pandora to ease me out of my comfort zone with music that resembles stuff I am already listening to. Sure, there’s a little too much John Mayer on the Jason Mraz channel, and I have no idea what anyone would listen to Hammerfall, even if they do like Dragonforce, but the flipside is that I find artists like Flobots and Colbie Caillat and Rise Against, none of whom I would know of were it nor for Pandora. That my new Droid gives me the power to listen to Pandora all the time is simply amazing. I know many of you might already have smartphones and are using your LS app on your iPhone, but having the Internet on my person at all times is a little bananas. It’s like I have 24 hour access to the greatest radio station of all time. I should really tell some jokes about that kind of stuff.
I also use last.fm, which offers music recommendations like Pandora, but I think it does so very, very poorly. Last.fm is great for keeping track of my music over a long time period. I love that I can go back through my profile and check for years and years and years and see what I was listening to when I was writing this project or working for that company or dating that girl. Very cool. Its music recommendations? Not so much. On that note, I recommend Last Pandora, which lets you keep track of the music you listen to through Pandora. I wish something like that existed for my Android, but it’s perfect for listening while I’m hammering on my keyboard writing my novel. Good times.
DaHunter’s article on Sexual Hoops changed my life when I read it earlier this year. Do this. DaHunter, you need to write more!
Bonsai is quickly establishing himself as the go-to guy for stripper game. I have dated a handful of strippers pretty seriously, one of whom was comically hot and brought other girls over… yet I still don’t consider myself a master of stripper game. Just reading Bonsai’s blog makes me want to figure out how to get comped at Hustler Club and Scores and return to dating women with too much disposable income and serious daddy issues. Good times.
As well, he wrote a great article about how you won’t get every girl. The article is so good I just deleted two paragraphs parroting him. It’s a fucking incredible analysis of what we all know is true. Sorry, prospective students: we can give you sick game, but you are still going to get rejected.
Big Business has some big things coming down the line. Hopefully I’ll be able to get him to share some good shit on my blog, but in the mean time he finally seems to have remembered he has a blog of his own. Check it out here.
As usual, Braddock’s Blog is a textbook for badassery. A little bit ago he posted an article for Dubbsy on Same Night Lays that anyone considering using Love Systems should read. Takeaways, logistical escalation (moving girls), and keeping a light tone at the front end of the conversation are all essential for anyone who is interested in bedding girls the same night he meets them. But I’ll let Dubbsy tell it.
Recently, Braddock also hosted an article from Helicase about how to get good fast. This article could have been written by any of the other instructors. Everything he says is a truism. If you’re working on your game, and you’re not doing what Helicase has pointed out in his article, it doesn’t mean you won’t get good, but it means your learning curve will be a lot steeper, and your progress a lot slower.
Oh, and we were in the Economist.
Too much John Mayer on the Jason Mraz channel? Did you mean too much Jason Mraz on the John Mayer channel?
Imagine if you could pick each song Pandora played. It would be like having an infinite MP3 collection, right? Well, that’s basically what GrooveShark.com is. I’m just trying to enjoy it before the inevitable injunction.
1000 words a day? Damn. Actually, I’m not surprised, When you streamline your thoughts on your blog, it shows in how much depth you have in your posts.
I have that once a while when I wake up and then immediately start writing my thoughts out. That how I write most of my articles.
Cheers for the link love!
