Serj Tankian - ‘The Unthinking Majority’

August 29th, 2007 · No Comments

If you aren’t a fan of Serj or his other band, System of a Down then you can skip this post. Me on the other absolutely love anything this guy and his band does.

Feist on Dave Letterman

August 28th, 2007 · No Comments

I’ve been a fan of Feist for sometime now and her new album is just as fantastic, seriously get it from iTunes (or off of Dwayne’s Amazon Associates link) if you don’t have it.

What I love about this performance is that all the peeps in the background are from other bands I enjoy. Members include [...]

Let’s just hope Ike keeps his cool

August 28th, 2007 · No Comments

From Spinner:

And that Black Keys/Danger Mouse/Ike Turner collaboration we’ve been muttering about has turned into yet another gig for DM: the Akron bluesmen (who’ve never worked with an outside producer before) and Danger Mouse have been crafting the follow-up to last fall’s Magic Potion. That record is slated for shelves from Nonesuch in early 2008.

SERIOUSLY?! [...]

New eBay Weapon

August 27th, 2007 · No Comments

I wasn’t a big fan of GarageSale for doing my eBay auctions but I have to give them some credit, their new app called GarageBuy is quite handy.

Basically you can setup saved searches and bid on items straight from the app. There are some issues I’ve hit but there are very minor. The biggest issue [...]

I wonder how much luck one of these feet produce?

August 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Seriously, I know t0fu was ranting about all the chemicals in the food these days, but seriously this has got to be one of the ‘good’ side effects of all that.

Or maybe this is one of those fabled ROUS‘ from the Princess Bride?

I apparently have to advertise better.

August 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

From Daring Fireball:

Lunchbox
Another “where should I eat?” tool, this one a mashup between Yelp and Google Maps, by James Allgood.

This is quite similar to the RLG, I developed a few years ago. This one uses Google and Yelp (something I’ve been meaning to add but didn’t know they had an API) and allows the user [...]

Rumors and Innuendo

August 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

So I heard that there was some comments made about a particular “daily” named blog site. I believe the comment was something about the name should be changed to “monthly” and that the owner of said blog can tea bag his own face.

Of course that was a shot across the bow and retaliation, I [...]

Greatest invention for eskimo smokers.

August 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

How I longed for these when I was a smoker! How these would have saved frigid fingers during a sub-zero smoking brainstorming pow-wow session.

Virgin Festival Day 2

August 19th, 2007 · No Comments

The second day was much better in terms of weather. It had probably dropped about 20 degrees from the day before and was threatening to rain for much of the day.
The crowd had also thinned out considerably which lead to easier times getting good seats and see things we didn’t get to see on [...]

I must not have much of a social life.

August 17th, 2007 · No Comments

Honestly how much do you fucking talk that you have a 300 page bill? I don’t mean to use such a harsh expletive but I just can’t fathom the amount of time that you waste having enough text message and calls that your bill is that large.

Not that AT&T is out of the woods [...]

Virgin Festival 2007 Day 1

August 10th, 2007 · No Comments

So this past weekend (August 4th/5th 2007) Jessi and I hit the big music festival of the summer, The Virgin Festival. I’m not going to go into how awesome both days were because they were with out a doubt awesome. Even with the oppresive heat on the first day (we guess 120° in the sun) [...]
