Headaches suck

I was up at 8:30 this morning, believe it or not. I also had a splitting headache. In this sort of situation you are presented with quite a harsh dilemma.
When all you have in your medicine cabinet is a bottle of Lonelyt (spell it backwards) PM, and you have the choice of taking it and [...]

Quick note on the theme change

It came to my attention today that someone else in the area set up a blog that looked exactly like mine. That blog’s schtick is apparently parroting right wing talking points: something I would never do. They hide behind a pseudonym and private domain registration, which screams immature. What are they so scared of? Out [...]

A model day

Today was a good severe weather day for the area. Lots of action and I saw the pinnacle of all things which is a TV station getting a tornado live on the air. Before today, that was the kind of stuff I could only see on YouTube.
Hopefully this is a sign of things to [...]

The projects are back

I have spent several hours bringing back all my old projects, like the SAME encoder and MySpaceDP. It was tough getting the SAME encoder working since I don’t have SoX or lame at my disposal on this server. I guess that’s the price you pay for shared hosting. I found a PHP script that splices [...]

Twitter makes The Daily Show

Old Man Stewart needs to learn how this thing works.

Farewell friend, I hardly… well, never, knew ye

I love the media. It has its moments but I love it nonetheless. I have friends in the media. Only a couple of those are in the REAL media but that’s enough for me. Most people don’t have any.
Anyway, I watched the video on the Rocky Mountain News homepage today and I’ll admit I was [...]

Catching up with old enemies (Veeday Edition)

Let’s rewind one year.
I wrote an open letter to whoever is responsible for this abomination of a holiday. I am pleased to say that I continue to hold the utmost contempt for a pointless holiday that serves no other purpose than to empty people’s pockets. Commercialism at its best.
So St. Valentine, whoever you are, again, [...]

Let’s try this, folks

I’m currently watching Fox News where Shep Smith is interviewing Bill Black. Everyone is bickering over what we shold do with these banks and their CEOs and this stimulus package. Here’s what I and no doubt many others think should happen:

Use this stimulus money to buy all stock in an insolvent bank/automaker/whatever. All of it. [...]

Vlogging

I’m seriously thinking about getting into vlogging.
In light of this decision, I will be on Ustream every Sunday night at about 8 PM my time. This will probably be a terrible flop.

Cross one off the list

I had my car fixed today. I can once again make a left turn without worrying about whether my car will fall apart!
I’ve also been informed that I have 3,000 to 5,000 miles left on my brakes.
