Sam Brown: A prophet for a new generation

by Frank Feder

Sam Brown is a member of Soundcheck who spends a lot of his time NYAN'ing. Nyan Cat is a loop with electronic music with a .gif of a dancing cat. There is a rainbow behind him. Sam Brown also is a popular artists, 50% of voters on the Souncheck blog say Sam Brown is their favorite kind of music. He is a god among men, omnipotent in the skies of Austin, Texas, where he has lived his whole life in solitude. When he is bored, he shoots down fighter jets with his tongue. His tongue is the stuff of legend, some say it's over 700 meters long.The Japanese tsunami was caused by Sam Brown doing a cannonball at a beach party in San Francisco. He wears a toga with Hermes's shoes, with purple embroidery. His millions of subjects offer him their first born child, but it is never enough for him. He requires that all of his people obey his every whim and frolic in his majestic glory.

Wasting Time

According to our surveys, most of our readers spend their free time snorting cocaine and wasting their time. If you are one of the many who snort cocaine, there is help for you. First, you might try stopping, or getting a job to support your habit. If you want to stop, try getting a psychiatrist and a divorce lawyer. In terms of wasting your time, you might want to stop reading this blog... maybe try this.

How to Dress to an Outdoor Concert

A few things you should bring to a concert:

- water bottle; you don't want to dehydrate yourself!
- dress for the weather; don't expect it to be a good idea to wear a scarf and sweater in the summer!!
- Do not wear your best clothes; chances are you will get dirty (spilled drinks, dirt)
- at a large venue it may be possible to bring a chair; it is tiring to stand all day
- if possible bring your own drinks!! drinks at music festivals can be expensive, or at least bring enough money
- lay off the make up, girls! it can get hot out there and you dont want your makeup running down your face!!

Stoplights of the Future

A problem that some people have with our stop lights of today is that the yellow light is unpredictable. Either a yellow light means you have five seconds to get to and clear the intersection, or you have less than 2. In the latter case, you might find yourself maintaining  your speed, without slowing, and then watch the light turn red as you continue through the intersection. This genius solution is both simple, easy to understand, and quite elegant. This idea is to, instead of having these arbitrary green, yellow, and red circular lights, have an hourglass that trickles down, giving a more accurate representation of how much time you actually have. The image below shows this "in action," so to say. If you can look past a couple of grammar mistakes, you get the general idea.
