Echo Effect

My friend is in a band
in Florida
A band-mate of his lives in England now
where he introduced their CD to a local station
who broadcast it to the natives, and simultaneously as a webcast
where my friend overheard his song
in Florida, streaming to his couch via the Internet, with no time delay
from a country that is five hours ahead!
Funny how things work in a technological age.

Evil Stoner Bastard

There is a kid I knew in high school, I'll call him Evil Stoner Bastard.

He had an evil plan to do a live broadcast of the sun via webcam but had to wait until technology improved so that the pixels were sharp enough so that people's eyes would burn.

In the meantime, he came up with the idea of a 'secret wearable webcam,' wherein a person could move around in public with a webcam broadcasting live shots of his/her adventures. His first broadcast was titled "Paranoia" and it featured him going out to dinner live with his parents, stoned.

One day the snowman on Old Man Johnson's front lawn ended up with a joint in its mouth. Evil Stoner Bastard was seen later in town smoking from a corncob pipe. It became part of his "look."

On April 20th, Evil Stoner Bastard was in his laboratory bedroom, surrounded by bottles of bong water, some of which were percolating, when his microwave blew up, and the cook time left on the clock was 16:20, and Evil Stoner Bastard has a scar that he likes to show to people to this day, on his ass, and he has applied for disability because of it 42 times, and the government has to keep examining his ass and denying his claim.
