After yesterday's post, this is really coincidental. On the way to work I hit 96.3 WDVD (today's best hits with none of that rap) and they were playing Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars". I wasn't feeling it so I hit the next music preset, Ann Arbor's 107.1 (quality music from then & now) and they were playing the exact same song, just about a minute ( Read more... )

I was driving to work today when BNL's "Old Apartment" came on the radio. That in itself was rather unusual as it's an old song and it was on 89x, which is normally more into the rock side of alt-rock. When that ended, the next song sucked so I flipped to my next preset, 93.9 The River, right in the middle of "Alternative Girlfriend". That's more ( Read more... )

Nobody wants to talk politricks this soon after the election so I'll defer that to another post. I will, however, note the insistence of my co-worker that we got the day off Tuesday not for Election Day but for Hunting Day, as apparently some season opens then.

I need to be less aggressively lazy. I have a Halloween party coming up in about a week and I still haven't decided what to do for a costume.

I'm not sure what observation about the music video makes me more white & nerdy, that I recognized the JavaScript graphic is from the O'Reilly book or that I noticed that Minesweeper is running on Mac OS X. (It turns out there's a Dashboard Widget for it; I wonder if it supports third-button-click.) It may be the third, that I looked up the ( Read more... )

Praise be to Cerf, Postel, and the rest of the Creators for this thing they have wrought!

I will tell of my long and annoying battle with Cockblast in a future post. All I'll say now is that I just hope that the cable TV and Internet stay connected for more than a day.

Russell should have known that Omega Force was lying because no self-respecting superhero would need tofu to refuel his infinity matrix. BTW, if you watched Mission Hill, yes, Neil's voice is done by that guy.

Onh-huh, onh-huh.

This should be interesting. Mel Brooks is working on Spaceballs: the Animated Series. I'm not sure where the suckitude of G4 will infest this show or it will become the second good show associated with G4. (Showing reruns of the syndicated Star Trek:tNG doesn't count as association.)

This weekend was busy but I got a good amount accomplished ( Read more... )
