Crapscrapers "Don't Waste Money"
Extreme noise merchants the Crapscrapers formed out of Berlin in the early 80's and released their gism in a short couple of hours recording their first and only single "Don't Waste Money". This being their only release, aside from being on some compilation and a reissue that came out in 2006 entitled "Abschreckung".
I decided to burn this for you @320 this morning...with a hangover. Perfect for morning mass. Because we have to praise these fast-core jumpstarters.
Filthy, noisy, elitist, extreme-core for the bastard children.

Cranbourne Rodeo Photos
Every Cowboy in town wants to get a look at this blog post!
Big Passy took a big break from computing and headed off to see his first ever Rodeo yesterday. It was awesome, the excitement of the Cowboys in competition was jaw dropping. I am definitely going to do the Rodeo thing again sometime soon.
The new Panasonic ZS3 Lumix camera worked a treat, and the sports action mode was superb at capturing all of the action. Night time mode for the post rodeo carnival was also quite reasonable.
The following Wondershare Slideshow contains 27 photos taken at the Cranbourne Rodeo. When you get through the whole show, the last picture should be of a little kid Cowboy. If you missed any pictures then click on the arrow when the slideshow ends.
Note that we can click on the bottom of the slideshow on the "Manual Play" option at any time. We can then advance through the photos one by one at our own pace. This allows us to stop for longer on the photos that we really like, and quickly bypass the ones that we are not interested in.
(Push the Play button arrow below if the slideshow is not already running).
If you would like to see the above slideshow full size, then click on this link: http://www.passyworld.com/passyHTMLs/RodeoPhotos1.html
If you are ever in Melbourne around the end of January, then a visit to the Cranbourne Rodeo is a must.
Anyway you know it's getting near the end of the Blog Post when the little Cowboy gets to singing:

Patti Smith "Smith On Smith"
Thought I would post this to show you how much we really care."***!;;\\\****
Went to see Patti Smith perform Thursday night at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. The ceremony entitled "Smith on Smith" was Patti commemorating the life of Harry Everett Smith. A counter-culture icon/filmaker/artist.
She performed acoustic, as well as telling tales of Ginsberg, Maplethorpe, Hendrix, Sam Shepard, Grace Slick and of course Harry Smith from her new book "Just Kids". Unfortunately I only got about 3/4 of the show and it's not the best quality. But here's to Patti Smith, the female American artist.
Be sure to pick up Patti's new book "Just Kids" and check out Harry Smith's work.

Funny Mathematics Friday
Image Source:http://www.triton.edu
Okay, mathematics is usually something that will drive most people into a sense of humor failure. But for today's lesson let's try to apply some integer multiplication to reverse that outcome.
Perhaps the fun factor destroyer in Mathematics is the perpetual bouts of the "New Math". The "New Math" is always so complicated (thank goodness for calculators on mobile phones!).
And let's not forget all the fun of learning Algebra:
Image Source: http://mrart.wikispaces.com
But how about we spare a thought for the plight of those poor individuals that have to teach Math. This is wonderfully demonstrated in the following scene from the "Black Adder" series:
I guess things have just always been this way:
Image Source: http://www.freewebs.com/greomatic
It is not only the teachers struggling to teach. There are also fundamental flaws in the students' learning as demonstrated in this video:
We need to better understand the students' learning difficulties, so let us look at some more of their flawed answers:
Maybe we can blame this all on today's students using too many computers:

Here is a marvelous video all about a young boys love of Trigonometry.
(So refreshing to see a young person so passionate about mathematics).
Maths Jokes from the Internet
What does the zero say to the the eight?
- Nice belt!
What is 2k + k?
- 3000!
Why do you rarely find mathematicians spending time at the beach?
- Because they have sine and cosine to get a tan and don't need the sun!
What do you get if you add two apples and three apples?
- A high school mathematics problem!
What is the difference between a Ph.D. in mathematics and a large pizza?
- A large pizza can feed a family of four.
How does a mathematician induce good behavior in her children?
- He says: "I've told you n times, I've told you n+1 times..."
A math professor, a native Texan, was asked by one of his students: "What is mathematics good for?"
- He replied: "This question makes me sick! If you show someone the Grand Canyon for the first time, and he asks you `What's it good for?' What would you do? Well, you kick that guy off the cliff!"
Three statisticians go hunting. When they see a rabbit, the first one shoots, missing it on the left. The second one shoots and misses it on the right.
The third one shouts: "We've hit it!"
A mathematician organizes a raffle in which the prize is an infinite amount of money paid over an infinite amount of time. Of course, with the promise of such a prize, his tickets sell like hot cake.
When the winning ticket is drawn, and the jubilant winner comes to claim his prize, the mathematician explains the mode of payment: "1 dollar now, 1/2 dollar next week, 1/3 dollar the week after that..."
How can you tell that a mathematician is extroverted?
- When talking to you, he looks at your shoes instead of at his.
The mother of already three is pregnant with her fourth child.
One evening, the eldest daughter says to her dad: "Do you know, daddy, what I've found out?"
"No."
"The new baby will be Chinese!"
"What?!"
"Yes. I've read in the paper that statistics shows that every fourth child born nowadays is Chinese..."
Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip?
- To get to the other - errrr..ummm....errrr....
Did you know that Lumberjacks make great musicians because of their natural logarithms.

WEIRDOS "Message From The Underworld"
Amongst the first incarnation of L.A. punks were the WEIRDOS. Formed in '77, they were at first reluctant to accept the label of "punK" stating "We're not punks, we're weirdos from Hollywood!"
This is their live gig from the Whiskey recorded on October 16, 1977.
I bought this record the only time I've ever seen it, in the middle of Las Vegas at this run down record store on Debauchery Lane. Livin' like Caligua, this album was my soundtrack for many endless nights doin' the worm.
Message From The Underworld indeed.

1] Solitary Confinement

Wall Wisher Integer Mathematics
Image Source: http://www.odec.ca
Temperature values are just one example of positive and negative numbers that are often called "Integers".
In a week or so, Big Passy will be teaching some 8th graders all about Integers, and so it was time to build another WallWisher website. Here is an iframe window into this brand new "Integers8" web site:
If you would like to see the above wall full size, then click the link below:
Click here to see the Integers Wall full size
If you would like to know how to build your own Wall of links to items that all follow a particular theme, then check out our previous blog post on this here:
http://passyworldofict.blogspot.com/2009/06/wallwisher-online-notice-board.html
Integers are important when we examine opposing forces. A classic example is rally car driving where the turning force of the car needs to be negated by the grip of the tires:
Image Source: http://www.jpgwallpaper.com
This traction balance is often a very delicate mathematical equation to replicate in computer games.
Here is a very "Hill Billy" Introduction to Integers, that is a bit left of center:
Here are some SlideShare presentations that we found on the web about Integers:

Our Neighbors Suck "Isolation"
One of the more obscure Rock-O-Rama Records releases, as well as being one of the few American bands on the label.
Hailing from Phoenix, AZ, band members also drifted in and out of other classic Arizonian bands. Not the best record, but not the worst. Has a distinctly west coast, Nard-core snotty feel. Band probably best known for their track on "We Got Party" (Mystic Records).

New York Dolls "Actress: Birth Of The New York Dolls"
Before Johansen, and before the New York Dolls were the Dolls, there was Actress.
Captured here are some of their 1971 demos with Johnny Thunders on vocals and guitar, along with Arthur "Killer" Kane on bass, Rick Rivets on guitar and Billy Murcia on drums. A definite pre-cursor to their future musical paths, you can hear early incarnations of some Dolls songs on the tracks "That's Poison" and "It's Too Late". A must for any Dolls or Thunders fan.
Tracklist:
1) That's Poison
2) I Am Confronted

How to Use Google Alerts
Google Alerts is free and can be used to track very specific information about any topic on the Web.
The webpage address is:
http://www.google.com.au/alerts?hl=en
According to Google themselves:
"Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.
Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:
- monitoring a developing news story
- keeping current on a competitor or industry
- getting the latest on a celebrity or event
- keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams"
A musician friend put me onto Google Alerts. He uses Alerts to find the names of his songs appearing on websites. He then finds out if these sites are supplying illegal downloads of his music, and takes action accordingly.
We can create an alert by filling out this very simple form on the Google Alerts page:
If you already have a Google Account for Gmail, Blogger, Analytics, etc then you can sign into Alerts using this same email address and password. We can then modify alerts later on when we need to.
Our aim in using Google Alerts here at Passy World is to try find out what websites are linking to information that is on "Passy's World of ICT". Also we have setup Google Alerts on the name of "Big Passy" and on our other website "Passy World", to see what sites are referencing these, or using information from our websites on their sites.
We should also be able to find out what sites are linking to any of our materials.
The specific alerts we have set up for Google to find for us are these terms:
"www.passyworld.com"
"passyworldofict.blogspot.com"
"Big Passy Wasabi"
"Big Passy"
"Passy's World of ICT"
"Passy World"
It is so easy to set up Alerts on the Google page, that we do not need to explain anything, other than to show you this:
Note that when setting up Alerts, it is very important to include the quotes.
Including quotes ensures that the whole term is checked for by Google.
Eg. For "Big Passy" we don't want Google to alert us to every new page on the web that has either the word "Big" or the word "Passy" in it.... the result of this would be way too BIG!
It certainly did not take time for results from Google to start rolling in.
Here is a typical Alert email from Google that we have received recently:
When we clicked the blue link supplied in the email, it took us to a website called "http://www.edocfind.com".
This site has thousands of PDF and other docs on lots of topics that have been harvested from the web and now have links supplied to them. So it is basically a site that contains thousands of links to docs that are on the worldwide web. It also has its own engine for searching to find docs on a given topic.
Eg. The edocfind search easily found and supplied links to plenty of downloadable documents when we typed in: "Guitar Power Chords".
We promise to try to stay alert, and we will let you know in future Blog Posts if Google alerts us to anything else really interesting.
FINALLY, LET US ALERT YOU TO OUR ONE CLICK SURVEY AT THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THIS WEB PAGE. JUST CLICK ONE OPTION IN, AND THEN CLICK THE "VOTE" BUTTON.
