My brother’s band, Still Motion, appeared on NBC 10′s 10! Show on Tuesday morning. Considering the fact that they were performing on live TV, I’d say they did pretty damn good. You can check out a video of the performance on Youtube right here. It’s not the best quality, but it’s tolerable. They interview my brother at the end of the performance, too bad they don’t have any idea how to interview a band.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A man accused of sexually assaulting nine boys with physical or mental disabilities told a judge that having sex with children is a sacred ritual protected by civil rights laws.

Phillip Distasio, who said he is the leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries, represented himself at his pretrial hearing Wednesday. He is charged with 74 counts including rape, pandering obscenity to minors and corrupting another with drugs.

“I’m a pedophile. I’ve been a pedophile for 20 years,” he said in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Wednesday. “The only reason I’m charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms.”

Hmm… Let’s just change the subject, shall we? The Popularity Dialer is a tool that allows you to choose to have your phone called at a particular time (or several times). At the elected time, your phone will be dialed and you will hear a prerecorded message that’s one half of a conversation. Thus, you will be prompted to have a fake conversation and will easily fool those around you. Now god knows I would never need to use something like this, but for those of you who are less fortunate than I and were not blessed with redeeming social qualities, you may find The Popularity Dialer useful. I’m just gonna use it to annoy my friends. If you found this to be interesting, or you immediately thought of using it to annoy people when you saw it, then I’ll kindly direct your attention towards this tool – PhoneNotify Web Service. This tool will allow you to enter any phone number, along with some text. The number you entered will then recieve a call and when they answer, they’ll hear the text read to them in a bland, robotic voice. Try it on yourself a few times to get the hang of it, since the interface isn’t exactly user friendly. Have fun, and don’t get yourself arrested.

Check out this video, it’s a demo showcasing the progress of “multi touch interaction research”, and gives you some ideas of it’s potential. Cool stuff.

I’m not a big fan of iTunes, but when I do have an iPod I use iTunes to manage the music on it (every once in a while I get an iPod, and then lose it, it’s pretty sweet). I’m partial to Winamp for listening to music on my computer, because I’ve been using it for as long as I can remember. Anyway, if you do use iTunes frequently, some of these add-ons may be of interest to you: Top iTunes add-ons.

How about some music? I’m not a big fan of Norma Jean, but you can grab the new album, which is titled “Redeemer”, here, while supplies last. It comes out on September 12th. While I’m at it, here’s the other albums: “O God, The Aftermath” and “Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child”. I didn’t even know that Unearth had a new album coming out, but they do – It’s called “III: In the Eyes of Fire” and you can download it here.

I’m heading to Cape May for a few days, I should be back on Thursday, so until then, keep it real, and remember, I know where you sleep.
