Things that sound like Rilo Kiley, and don't narrate well to a video.

A family trip recorded for the internet in Las Vegas in 1962:


Las Vegas 1962 from Jeff Altman on Vimeo.


1.  Las Vegas, it appears, didn't use to suck so hard in 1962.

2.  I need to acquisition all my family's old video recordings.  My father did this years ago from our VHS'.

3. We use to call them "video tapes" when "video tapes" were what we used to watch movies at home (namely, a very worn out copy of Mary Poppins, Home Alone, and Uncle Buck).  1990's Macaulay Culkin, for the win.

4. Dick Van Dyke playing the Chimney Sweep guy in Mary Poppins
 is really is damn funny.  There's also a ton of drug references in that film.

5. At least 60's cinematography was better, from a D-I-Y perspective.

Today in Proxy War news:

They killed Gaddafi, or captured him, but probably killed him.

At least that's what Facebook is saying.

Thoughts on Dual Survival

I suppose this is my first real post since the new design (hey there, have you noticed? bam.)

Anyways the blog is now fully functional.  I've also added a second medium!  nowakattack.tumblr.com! Hot damn!  Also a twitter!   So from here out, now that school is out and it's time for job development, we've got ourselves a blog here.

Also I spent the last 1.5 hours at my new apartment in Austin developing my new mediums and

Two heterosexual men heterosexually demonstrate heterosexual tactics of survival in the form of a white person pretending to be a Native American, while the other heterosexual person breathes in heavy sentence form of out-of-breath sentences.

and the two characters are:

No, I'm serious.

I can understand how a legitimately styled documentary could really emphasize some value to what they're doing.  The problem is that people want odd people doing it wrong.

Blog ON!

Washington Post: Blocking of an appointee for the Fed.

Right here.

Oh no. Hell no.

...and in the final flames of collegiate activities and academia galore,  I am now 5 days away from graduation

apparently in college, finals week is more like a "victory lap" more than an actual week of studying.

Then again, I did finish up all my major requirements a quarter ago.

Anyways, the point is NOWAK ATTACK has gone from its sleepy sleepy hibernation to an up and coming meme-starting fully operational brain.

I've had a lot of recent theories on the brain as the computer, which I'll divulge later.

So watch the FUCK out for Nowak Attack 3.0, which may either be:

-A different url

-A different name

We'll see.

Also, if you're curious to know, The Passersby Post was accidentally deleted.

Yes, accidentally.

and now this:

I probably should have done this four months ago...

... but I've been doing a new radio show for over 4 months now.

If the Blues Are A Rockin', Don't Come A Knockin' is a radio show mixing together the blues in all different senses of the word.  A lot of 60s soul, Delta Blues, Punk Blues (Soledad Brothers, The Black Keys, etc.), Funk, and so and and so forth.

I just found out a couple days ago that the time is staying exactly the same which is Sundays from 4-6pm.

You can hear my audible hodgepodge (for locals) at 89.3 fm or at kugs.org.

Oh hey!

Another quarter has passed (barely), and with that here I am.  So... hey!

If there's a tone for the next few upcoming months, it's this:



Posting this may have been inspired by an episode of Freaks and Geeks I watched last night.  I don't want to go there right now, but I will say that Rush is a terrible band.


Actually, that might actually be more abrasive...




Rush still sucks.
