“It’s sarcasm, Josh.”
“Sarcasm?”
“It’s from the Greek, sarkasmos. To bite the lips. It means that you aren’t really saying what you mean, but people will get your point. I invented it, Bartholomew named it.”
“Well, if the village idiot named it, I’m sure it’s a good thing.”
“There you go, you got it.”
“Got what?”
“Sarcasm.”
“No, I meant it.”
“Sure you did.”
“Is that sarcasm?”
“Irony, I think.”
“What’s the difference?”
“I haven’t the slightest idea.”
“So you’re being ironic now, right?”
“No, I really don’t know.”
“Maybe you should ask the idiot.”
“Now you’ve got it.”
“What?”
“Sarcasm.”

Boyd: …There’s nothing real about it, they’re programmed.
Topher: Does that tie keep you warm?
Boyd: What? No.
Topher: No. It’s just what “grownup” men do in our culture. They put a piece of cloth around their necks so they can assert their status and recognize each other as non-threatening kindred.
Boyd: So, what is this? The Sixties? Are we going to burn our draft cards?
Topher: You wear the tie because it never occurred to you not to. You eat eggs every morning, but never at night. You feel excitement and companionship when rich men you’ve never met put a ball through a net. You feel guilty, maybe a little suspicious every time you see that Salvation Army Santa. You look down for at least half a second if a woman leans forward. And your stomach rumbles every time you drive by a big golden arch. Even if you weren’t hungry before. Everybody’s programmed, Boyd.
Boyd: Damn. You really spend some time on your self justification.
Topher: Not the case. I don’t care. This is an awesome gig. This is cutting edge science in a house full of hot chicks. Morality is programming too.

In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Cuando elegí mi facebook username, el viernes a la noche/sábado a la madrugada, lo elegí pensando en que me representaría y en que sería util para decirle a alguien “che, agregame a facebook, soy /natidevalle“.
Eso no deja de ser cierto. Pero hay algunos usernames que la gente eligió que están buenisimos. Aquí algunos ejemplos que encontré imaginando que tenía la chance de cambiar el mio:

http://www.facebook.com/fourtytwo

And my personal favorite:

Nótese que son todos quotes de series/películas. Listas de web/computer stuff hay en todos lados.
Ustedes encontraron alguno bueno?

Como algunos sabrán, Google lanzo el viernes una demo de lo que va a ser la evolución del email, y una nueva forma de comunicarnos: Google Wave.
Hablar de qué es Wave hoy, es muy dificil. Ver el video ayuda mucho, pero aún asi, es tan amplio el concepto, que es dificil de explicar. Como única opinión personal, voy a decir que la demo me voló la cabeza, y que quiero Wave ya.
(Sidenote: Cómo le vamos a decir en español? wavear? heh).
Pero como reza el título, encontré muy divertido (amusing, sería la palabra) la cantidad de referencias a Firefly/Serenity en la demo.
De por si, el nombre ya es una referencia al Fireflyverse. Nuestros queridos browncoats, ya usaban “wave” como verbo para indicar una especie de comunicación, en una serie situada 500 años en el futuro.
Dejenme quotear la serie:
Divorce is very rare and requires dispensation from her pastor. I can send him a wave, see what I can do.
I read your wave. You’re holding post for us?
Just got a wave from Inara. No luck with the councilor.
We got the wave at the Friedlichs. I had to leave your mother at the dinner table!
Bastante claro, no?
Pero además, en la demo se pueden ver 3 claras referencias al show.
La primera, cuando Lars y Stephanie estan “chateando” (10:30 en el video), Lars responde “Shiny, you must know a good store”. Shiny es el “awesome” de Firefly.
La segunda, 13:50 min en el video, el hermano de Lars esta tratando de hacer algo y el sistema se rompe. El mensaje de error es una pantallita roja al fondo con el texto “Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal“, que es una línea de la primer escena de Firefly, y una de las mejores. (aww, Wash!)
Y la última, cuando Steph y Lars estan creando un Poll sobre la mejor película (56:10 min), Steph pone entre las opciones “Serenity” (aunque despues elige Star Trek, baaah).
Se que en proporción al proyecto de Google esta trivia es, cuando menos, superficial. Pero el browncoat en mi, se siente muy orgulloso.
PS: no es la primera vez que algun proyecto de Joss es usado en un producto de la big G.

All right, this dance is over. Get your booze and your dog tags and let’s get out of here

For the major labels, it’s over. It’s fucking over. You’re going to burn to the fucking ground, and we’re all going to dance around the fire. And it’s your own fault. Surely, somewhere deep inside, you had to know this day was coming, right? Your very industry is founded on an unfair business model of owning art you didn’t create in exchange for the services you provide. It’s rigged so that you win every time – even if the artist does well, you do ten times better. It was able to exist because you controlled the distribution, but now that’s back in the hands of the people, and you let the ball drop when you could have evolved.
None of this is to say that there’s no way for artists to make money anymore, or even that it’s the end of record labels. It’s just the end of record labels as we know them.

- You’re just not thinking fourth dimensionally!
- Right, right. I have a real problem with that.
