Certainly ranking in the top five shows ever, the Holiday Sucktacular was a really fun one for me. I’m not the biggest fan of Christmas and especially Christmas with the families. Everyone expects you to be at their celebration and if you travel home for the holidays you end up running yourself ragged just to…
I’ve always loved Devo. Even when they, or what they’ve since become, strike an odd chord I knew what they were after. It’s always better to reach and fail than to not play at all. I’ve also annoyed friends and family and co-workers by pointing out Mothersbaugh or Devo bits that get injected into the…
Here’s an interesting investigation into the source of the Ron Paul spam spasm from the end of October. Yes, it’s ripped from the pages of Metafilter. The discussion that ensues in the thread is by turns snarky, interesting, and partisan. Go for the snark, stay for the bits of on-topic discussion.
Just saw that Santastic III has been unleashed. I haven’t had a chance to listen to the latest issues but if it’s anything like the past releases the quality will run the gamut. A few gems, a few clunkers, and some fair-to-middlin’ stuff to round things out. That first album snagged a few spots on…
Do computer/desktop tech support in some way or another for long enough and eventually you’ll run across someone who exclaims or attributes a certain piece of technology to be magical. As of today I’ve decided the appropriate term is prestidigititzation.
When did they start spelling ‘Monday’ w-e-d-n-e-s-d-a-y? Another day, another meeting. Another meeting, another [uncompensated] responsibility. Another [uncompensated] responsibility, another step closer to the door. You don’t get a web app developer *and* a babysitter for substantially less than $40K/year. I don’t care if it’s BFE Nebraska. Take away the intangible benefits like regular working…
RetroStatic.com has links to all kinds of Flash-encoded video ripe for ripping and stripping and mixing into an audio wonderland.
A List Apart: Articles: A Preview of HTML 5 is a nice intro to HTML5 for those of you who haven’t been paying attention. I was among that group having spent more time looking at XHTML 1.1 and 2.0 development. The crossover with XML is the cooler set of toys in my mind. I found…
So you get in to work after an okay if not amazing weekend and start rabbiting away with the shuffling of email and checking up on reports and the managing of log files and whatever else it is you do to start getting into the work groove. Then you get a phone call from your…
A bit later than the usual weekend update of Millionaire goodness. Thought I’d take a stab at mixing up something newish from the catalog of weird I’ve been collecting the past year and a half. A bit rusty and there’s no voice over. Then again, I haven’t done this since July of 2006 and I…
