In Bangkok, “Waxy” apparently means “leather-clad briefcase cowboy.”

I updated my Dictionary Domain page, which lists all the remaining available .com, .org and .net domains named after dictionary words.

Domain squatters seem to be releasing plenty of great .org domains. Browsing the list of domains released in the last three months, you can find some gems in the .org namespace (at the bottom of the list). Some that caught my eye: gummy.org, soapy.org (for a SOAP site?), taunt.org, betcha.org (Long Bets, maybe?), desist.org (a cease-and-desist watchdog site?), dimwit.org, redial.org, lowbrow.org, shuteye.org, and upcoming.org. Leave a comment if you register any of them.

Wired published an article about tonight’s Memefest event, and mentions that Jeff Hermann will be bringing along his playable 3-foot-tall, 100 pound Gameboy. Take a look at the Game Man photo gallery for more.

If you’ve recovered from Thursday night’s Halloween celebrations (we’ll be at the West Hollywood block party), check out Friday evening’s Memefest at the C-Level media space in L.A.’s Chinatown district.

The conference/screening is focused on Internet fads and how/why they propagate, one of my favorite subjects. My close personal friend, freelance writer Dave Cassel of Destinyland and Gettingit, will be presenting along with several other net/art geeks. (I was originally scheduled to speak, but had to back out at the last minute because of prior obligations.) The C-Level guys are very entertaining, so you have my personal guarantee that it won’t suck.

For those that don’t live in Los Angeles, it’s Ambiguously Gay Satan!

Record label EMI is hiring a vice president for their Anti-Piracy division. (“P-P sharing”? Is that anything like watersports?) Via the Pho discussion list. Update: Anil points to a CTO job listing for Warner Music in New York, that “challenges current technology selection and rational” and evaluates “P2P warfare.” This means war!
