Salt Pepper Ketchoop For Here Or To Go?

I’m not normally into the list and report kind of thing which is the blog equivalent of the horrible email forwards my aunts and uncles send me in the off chance that bill gates will send them $100 and their crushes will give them a kiss, but this piqued my interest this morning.

So there was this dope website called Muxtape that let you upload songs to create your own online mixtape.  They got in trouble with the RIAA last week and opted to release their player as an open source web script.  This is more of a test post than anything else to make sure I can get it working on the stupid godaddy server, but either way kudos to the muxtape dudes for making the best out of a bad situation and sticking it to the bigwigs.

addendum: for those of you getting the php version 4 error on a godaddy server or any other server running php4 and php5 simultaneously, add these two lines of code to your site’s .htaccess file:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

That’ll let opentape run. Hope that helps.

Alpine slide? Check.

Craft Beer? Check.

Waterfall-fed swimming holes? Check.

Deep Tissue Massage? Check.

Lobster Rolls? Crazygood Organic Pizza? Country Cooking? Maple Soft Serve? Checkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

4-month old Bernese mountain dog puppy playing witha garden hose?   Big fat check.  Kicking myself for not taking pictures.

Crashing two big fat Jewish Weddings? No check, but sure as hell thought about it for a minute til Nathan backed me down.

The bottle cap kind of sums it up:

killer way to end this ever-so-truncated summer.

Impressive turnaround time:

Then there’s this incorrigible nonsense:

So much for that whole no more gay bashing thing.   Jesus.

Say hello to my “new” 1973 VW Superbeetle.  Since I’m done with school, I figure I need another hobby to occupy my time.  That hobby is apparently restoring this car.

It needs a metric fuckton of work. First step, stop the rust from spreading any further.  The dude at the shop says it runs but I dunno if I agree at this point.

Hit the jump for more pics.
