G + Pollock
G of “The G Show” pointed me down a certain road called “Memory Lane” where a rush of my early days with my nerdbox came flooding back: The Dial-Up BBS
The G Show ALSO has a very funny (for once) article about the interweb-connected children of politicians.

I made one that I call “Vomit” and another that I call “Explosion” and another called “Chaos” and ummm… another called “Garbage”.. and another called “People Actually Pay Millions For This Crap”

Incredible video for “Coldplay’s” - The Hardest Part
I was confounded with how they shot this — it looked like a very accurate replication of a bad early 90’s show but almost too accurate.
Wikipedia comes through:
The music video for “The Hardest Part” was shot on 3 March 2006 in St. Petersburg, Florida at a yacht marina. The video is similar to Weezer’s video for “Buddy Holly, in that uses a clip from a short-lived 80s program “Attitudes” on the Lifetime network, and has the band digitally inserted. The band essentially plays beside a stage where an 84-year-old lady and her 25-year-old male friend put up an incredible act of athleticism, despite her age. Actress Linda Dano, who played “Felicia Gallant” on the soap opera Another World, is also featured via the Attitudes footage. The video was directed by Mary Wigmore. Another version of the video features a cameo from Chris Martin’s father, Anthony Martin, but it was never broadcasted. It premiered on Wednesday, 22 March at 11:05 p.m. on Channel 4 in the UK.
That’s the second time St. Petersburg, Florida was mentioned on martyz.com this week. A shiny prize for the first person who can describe where I FIRST spoke of St. Petersburg.

You mentioned St. Pete’s because your friend was closing on a house there and big bad Ernesto was rolling into town the same day.
Congratulations!
