HA! F-W-I! If you don’t know what FWI means, you should ask Cayle Hunter, cuz he says it all the time. Maybe you should look it up right now. Go ahead. FWI. Click that shit.
Anyways. Here’s the real point of this blog. I assume you’re probably just perusing the internet right now, at about 25 MBPH, a slow surf on a cruiser bored board. Well, here’s a little salt for your tastebuds: Trouble Me Flickr. From Oakland. A photografffffer.
The Voice of the People
Posted on 20. Jun, 2008 by Daniel Taylor in Chico, Politics, Videos
With every web site, TV station and newspaper weighing in with their 2 cents regarding which horse they’re backing in this year’s Presidential election, there are certainly more than enough learned opinions being circulated for even the most hungry of newshounds. Even the Average Joe is getting his voice heard this election season, via blogs, online forums, call-in shows and those ubiquitous polls, undertaken seemingly every 5 minutes. But there is yet a third demographic, one that is still sorely under-served by the media at large, the true “man on [...]

Right outside Synthesis HQ in sunny Downtown Chico, CA is a sprawling concrete square known as Downtown Park Plaza. Once upon a time it was filled with magestic oak trees, but they all got cut down and now we have a fountain that bums wash their asses in and kids get E. Coli from. WINNAR! Even better, the park is always filled with really intelligent folk just waiting to share their wealth of knowledge with the public, like so many scruffy Socrateses. In this video, Synthesis Marketing Boss Cayle [...]

This year has been great as far as bad contracts are concerned in the major leagues. With Andruw Jones, Miguel Cabrerra, Eric Gagne, the crown jewel of all bad contracts Barry fucking Zito, and now Dontrelle Willis all complete flops, GM’s around the league have to be even more wary of spending the big dollars on extensions for younger players and those big free agent fish.
It was announced today that Willis, or “the human earned run” as I like to call him since he was traded to Detroit (note the [...]

If you’ve ever heard of underground metal shitdicks Armed For Apocalypse, it’s probably been on this here blog, since A4A guitarist, co-screamer and mastermind Cayle Hunter also happens to spend his days trying to sell people ads on our fine suite of websites (if you’re interested, you should e-mail cayle@synthesis.net).
