RasterWeb!I heard someone use the term Old Skool when referring to the method of the past of writing poorly formatted and invalid HTML.
I think the proper term is deprecated. In fact, I think the term deprecated should be used more in everyday language. For instance, any time you are talking about something from the past, that is decidedly not cool, feel free to call it deprecated…
Basically: s/old skool/deprecated/g;
Example: “Check out that punk kid with the green mohawk, man, he’s deprecated!”
I rarely watch things like CNN, or any television news really (Hello Internet!) but today I happened to see a bit, and there was a reporter in the field reporting on something, and the video was shot using a videophone!
The quality was poor, but as often is the case with breaking news, being at the right place at the right time, is more important than a polished, high-quality end product.
(Now all we need is more people to realize that they can be the reporter in the field, creating rather than consuming the media…)
I saw Scott and Dave yesterday before I left Milwaukee. Who? I’ll tell ya who…
Scott is in a band called Dashboard Confessional. (I told him they suck… I was joking… or was I? Ha!) Scott used to be in Self Denial, and Cleveland Bound Death Sentence (the original one) and probably some other bands. I’m pretty sure Scott and I were never in a band together, though he did mention that he heard one of my podcasts… Dave on the other hand was in a band with me, and that band was Hardware. (Dave was of course in Self Denial along with Scott.) Dave and I talked briefly via email a while back about releasing some of the old Milwaukee hardcore stuff we used to record. One of these days…
I should have filed this under Where Are They Now? but I didn’t get to talk to them enough to find out where they are now, besides Beans & Barley…
I’m off to the Land of Mary again… And as we all know, Maryland is for crabs…
See ya on the flipside crabby!
Wowza! 75 mph limit proposed for Wisconsin freeways:
…a higher speed limit would save drivers time, save some drivers money on speeding tickets and bring Wisconsin’s limit in line with a third of the nation’s states that already have the higher limit.
It would not save them money for gas, however. (Damn!)
“Cars are engineered these days in a way which can better handle a little higher speeds,” Reynolds said. “It’s a slowly emerging trend.” (Not mine! See below…)
“Speed doesn’t kill. It’s the speed differential that causes accidents.” (???)
My only worry is that my car (affectionately referred to as ‘the crapmobile’) starts to wobble pretty bad when going over 65, so there’s a good chance it’ll wobble itself off the road and down an embankment if I attempt to go 75 miles per hour, killing me and leaving no one around to update this web site…
Other than that little concern, Zoooooooom!
