Accept kicks ass, I had a vid that got pulled from youtube. http://www.videosift.com/video/Accept-Midnight-Mover

awesome tune and a vomit inducing video to boot!

the real question eh Memorare, why indeed. Cause the money one can make as a player is better than the mover and shaker salary.....and reason???? They both look like shit from this perspective....

I was playing Pinball Dreams on my A2000 just a few months ago. Then the movers dropped my computer and its all dead now. Bastards. I really should have moved it myself.

Viral marketing alert: I saw this on Google's Movers and Shakers. The website mentioned is a front for one of those "all natural male enhancers" but I couldn't help posting. It's still funny shit. LOL.

I have to say, while theo47 and his crowd continue to make me faintly embarrassed to be nonreligious, this is an amusing piece. It's not meant to be a deeply thought-out argument - it's a simply-sketched bit of amusement for people who actually know a bit of science.

It's specifically attacking a lot of creationist/intelligent design arguments, including those based on the strong anthropomorphic principle - the claim that the physical laws of the universe seem somehow designed to create Life As We Know It. But, as this guy points out, most of the universe doesn't really seem to have anything to do with the creation of life, and the universe seems nearly infinitely hostile to it.

It's not an attack on religion or even some conceptions of God as the First Mover who kicked the universe into motion, but on the psuedo-scientific rationalizations of creationism called "intelligent design".

i dont agree with clinton on alot of things but at least he knows how to comunicate. + you can see how it could be good for the movers and the shakers in the bush goverment to have a compleat retard as there front man.

Most of it is just robots driving those red and green containers around. So you start with a wafer (the round shiny thing), which eventually gets cut up into squares of silicon, and then packaged into processor. (There is a part showing the guy with a suction tool picking up a finished packaged processor).

So like 20 of these wafers are put into those red and green plastic containers. Those are driven around by robotic carriers that shuttle the containers all over the place (most of the video shows the automated container movers). Each of what looks like a super compter with buttons, lights and a container of wafers sitting in front of it are the 'machines' that make one particular step in the making of microchips. Like one of those bays might make microscopic metal wires.

Gah.. I should explain it step by step. Maybe if this hits the front page.

Sony (who acquired CBS Records or Columbia, if you remember back in the days of LPs) released reams of Glenn Gould video performances on VHS and laser disc as part of the Glenn Gould Edition back in the 90s. I picked up the laser discs for a song at various record stores around the country right when DVDs were coming out. Needless to say, these haven't been re-released.

Watching this performance of the Goldberg Variations is a religious experience of sorts, although the jarring camera angle shifts do eventually get old. The CBC started recording Gould for broadcast on TV back in the 50s, and these performances, ones that could not be edited for perfection show just how talented he was.

Also, Gould didn't give up live performances because of his nerves. Rather, he simply hated live performances and wrote and commented on this extensively. He felt that the whole experience was degrading and that being in front of an audience was an impediment to presenting his ideal vision of a work. Tape and the recording studio explicitly enabled this.

One little bit of trivia about this performance: Gould's usual piano was a Steinway (CD 318), but it was irreparably damaged during transit when some movers dropped it. He made a trip to the Ostrovsky Piano Company in NYC to find a new instrument, but didn't find any that he liked. Before leaving through a back corridor, he spotted a much used Yamaha that no one wanted him to play. Needless to say, he tried the instrument and the rest is history. It's the piano he plays in this recording.
