So yeah, the site has been down for a very long time. Sorry about that. I've been busy doing stuff, and redoing the site took much longer than I anticipated. It's been one hell of a year - full of fun and exciting things like blunt force trauma, muscle fatigue, prolonged malnutrition, 5 am bike rides on illegal singletracks, household toxic mold infestations, double all-nighters, bad sunburns, unsafe dosages of caffeine and aspartame, cutty street racing, and partial deafness as a result of listening to hardcore techno tracks at max volume in the wee hours of the morning. It should also be mentioned that I'm done with college apps and am now a second semester senior in high school, eg., no further academic effort necessary. Yuss.

Much like fine wine, the site has aged well, even through my interval of extended absence and partial neglect. A lot of changes have been made; I would encourage both new and returning members to (re)explore the site and check out some of the new content and functionality that is now available.

I've decided to open the site in its current state, although it may be a bit rough around the edges. Do not hesitate to post any concerns or questions regarding site functionality in the off-topic section of the forums (or in this article's discussion topic, see link below) - I will address any engrish probrems, bugs, or skinning issues as soon as I can. Thanks.

Pendulum makes some great music. From their performance in San Francisco this year at The Grand Ballroom at The Regency Center, I have uploaded 7 tracks that are complete with video footage; the remaining 8 are audio-only. Enjoy!

The videos were recorded with my jailbroken iPhone, so don't expect much in terms of quality - the iPhone 3G was never intended to record video. But the audio quality is pretty good.

That's right kids, you too can look like a Somali Warlord during airsoft matches. You may not be able to hit a target 10 feet away, but when your enemies see the flashing gold they'll fear you see you clearly and shoot you. However this does not matter, because as you bleed to death you can look at your shiny weapon and be happy.

AK-47 Somali Warlord Body Conversion Kit Instructions:
1. Buy a shitty CYMA AK-47 for $30.
2. Use masking tape to cover the wooden (or in this case, plastic) areas.
3. Apply two coats of metallic gold spray paint.
4. Remove tape.
5. Take multiple pictures of your work and then brag about it on the internet.
6. Relish in your brilliance.

And remember what the skilled African militiamen have taught us: Never use iron sights; hip fire only. Or even better, fire while holding the gun above your head, like so.
