Tapping the Alpha Geek Noosphere with EtherPeg

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the amuse-themselves-to-death dept.

tadghin writes "Rob Flickenger has an amazing take on what's happening in the wireless noosphere at the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference. Rob used EtherPeg, a great Mac OS X hack that lets you see the GIFs and JPEGs flying around on the local network, to key off on an amazing visual commentary on what people were doing during Steven Johnson's keynote."

    How utterly fucking gay is this? Fuck, some people are raging queers, but this guy must be like, some Queen of Queers or something!

    I love how Anakin kills all those Tusken raiders that screwed up his mom on Tatooine.

      yeah, but don't you think it was better when Windu beheads Jango Fett right in front of his own son, in the mass gladiator-like scene where all the Jedi Knights fight the droids, and nearly lose, before Yoda comes in with the Clone-Jango cavalry, created by long-limbed aliens on the order of a 10-year dead Jedi? Amazing!

      Yeah, it's sweet that the clones are all from Jango. I was kind of suprised by that. Still, I think one of the best scenes was when Count Dooku was gettin' it on with Yoda. He really opened up a can! Bummer that Anakins right arm got chopped off right there in the saber fight. I'm sure he'll get it working just fine for Amadala though, especially now that they got married!

      The Jango clones raise the point of who the later Stormtroopers are cloned from... They're not more Jangos, because they have American accents. Anakin himself perhaps?

      Was that a wedding at the end? Certainly looked like one but they didn't make much of it. And how come Padawans can suddenly get married, anyway?

      I thought it was a wedding because they were getting some lip action in front of someone (hard to tell who) just like what you would see at a real wedding. Not 100% sure. Anyway, the point is there gonna get some action now and have kids (I heard padme will be pregnant in the next episode).

    Twat...

    1) Taco didn't post the story, Hemos did.
    2) Neither of them wrote the copy, or the article.
    3) Ep2 was fucking fantastic, and that's coming from a deeply cynical fan of the original trilogy.

    I would really like to know how the first post could even POSSIBLY be moderated down because it's redundant, I mean in order to be redundant there would have to be something before it, I think someone let a furbie have moderator access.
