the ANTI/gen guide

sorry about the delays you loyal reader(s). yeah, both of you.

we’ve got big news. considering the amount of time already wasted put into this, i should just leave a link here and call it a day. but, i want to at least try and get you stoked.

so, anyone that’s come within 5 feet of rich or myself in the last year or two has likely heard us mumbling some shit about the ANTI/gen guide. i’m fairly sure our feeble attempts at describing the idea never did it justice. it always went something like this,

us: “Do you remember prevue guide?”

them: “No.”

us: “Oh. Ok… do you have dish(TM) or on-demand(TM) or tivo(TM)? Of course you do. How else are you going to watch Bratz? Well, imagine that for videos on the internet.”

them: “That sounds lame.”

haters. ok, so a few of you acted totally blown away but we know you just felt sorry for us. we didn’t care because we knew you would actually be blown away if we ever actually did what we were thinking.

and, well, just take a look for yourself.

the ANTI/gen Guide is here. with our own channels (and schedules changing daily) of our favorite shtuff on the net, … the internet just got a whole lot better. if you’re out there on the net and see some video you think we should share, or maybe you have a video of your own you think is worthy, well, you can always send us a message. in fact, as always, we’d love some feedback either way.

p.s. thanks for all your support.

hey all you cyberpunks: i feel like i owe you an update so here goes… in the few breaks I’ve received in the past week or so, I’ve discovered a few fun sites/things-you-can-learn-more-about-on-the-internet that I’d like to share. the following list is totally random (organizationally, anyway) but i think if you really look into them you’ll be entertained:

note: not sure if i need to say this or not, but if it helps, NSFW. in fact, NSFL.

  • sweater kittens – this one might necessitate some disambiguity — not to be confused with slang for boobs, sweater kittens are apparently an up-and-coming fetish regarding fluffy sweaters and hotties. i’ve yet to find a good example site to link to (let me know if you’ve got one) but the idea makes me laugh. courtesy of tyson.
  • f2bbs – practically a snapshot of any given forum on the internet in the late 90’s – anonymity definitely brings out the worst in a lot of people, namely 13 year olds who can’t cuss in front of their parents. however, it does occasionally prove to be both true and entertaining. discovered this through a comment on an article in the mercury news about a family almost dying for eating mushrooms they found in the woods. wtf?
  • headset hotties – i almost pissed my pants checking this out. to top it off, the rating system is hysterically based on “perceived helpfulness”. comedic genius. thanks rafael.
  • shhh!tv – ok this one is a little late, but funny and aesthetically/technically almost like the tv application we’ve been working on. funny thing is, the tv app i’m developing is actually utilizing the same (and my favorite) framework as they use for their backend: cakephp. get into it.

see ya 08er
