Andy Kaufman Returns After Faking Death - Not As Funny As The Mighty Mouse Thing
Filed in blog, Wed, 19 May 2004, 8:45 pmUm, I really don’t know what to say. Random IM link courtesy of the dj rekall points me to a story on the return of Andy Kaufman. “But he’s dead,” you say! Andy’s “official” site claims it was all a gag - even his parents were actors. More confusing, however, is why now rather than [...]
Not a handle
Filed in blog, , 4:17 pmI’m not to fond of warning labels. They have a tendency to tell you something bleeding obvious (Preperation H: Not to be taken orally!) or something that is more of a suggestion to avoid legal hassles (Spare Tire: Do not drive over 35mph!). I’m sorry, but eventually everyone needs to stand on that last rung [...]
CPUKILLER: Mad Stoppin’ Powaz!
Filed in blog, , 11:35 amI have lamented many times that my shiny new fast computer ruins the games of yesteryear. And considering how quickly I tend to dismiss modern games (NFL Street anyone?), I would love a program that would help me play those old games once again. Courtesy of Lockergnome I now know of THE CPUKILLER, which, while [...]
The art of licensing
Filed in blog, Mon, 17 May 2004, 4:16 pmI believe this post was prompted by the whole MT3.0 fiasco, nevertheless onepotmeal puts an interesting twist on the concept of software licensing. And with my disdain for bad analogies, this must be something special ;) .
Smack the Penguin Redux
Filed in blog, Fri, 14 May 2004, 5:58 pmIt seemed appropriate to post a follow-up to my most popular entry ever. For those of you who haven’t seen the final version yet, Brian sent me a link to the Official Yeti Sports webpage. It includes 3 new games aside from a “professional looking” version of the original penguin smacker. If you’re interested in [...]
Ten Years of Your Life
Filed in blog, , 5:41 pmOne of the most intriguing sites I’ve come across lately is Matthew Haughey’s photoblog, Ten Years of My Life. It is a very simple, yet briliant project of posting a single photo (along with a description) every day for 10 years. His photos touch upon everything from the beautiful to the absurd. Some of them [...]
There’s music in the air
Filed in blog, , 5:03 pmThanks to the threat of rain last time, the Hoboken Art and Music Festival will be this Sunday, rain or shine. The weather reports have been changing regularly, but my money is on a gorgeous day with maybe a quick shower or two. Fortunately, I just read the best news today. Since Donovan had to [...]
And the world of blogging was never the same
Filed in blog, , 4:18 pmWordPress has now hit release candidate status with their 1.2 version, and I will be upgrading my server shortly. The developers are very excited about this one, and so am I. Hopefully added features like subcategories and user commenting will help me organize this site far better than I have in the past.
Humorously this announcement [...]
Frasier says goodbye with class
Filed in blog, , 9:35 amI haven’t watched Frasier regularly for years, but I always considered it one of the best shows to be on TV. They assembled a great cast of characters, and managed to combine elements of slapstick, witty banter, and even some drama. Their comedy reminded me of a modern day Marx Brothers troupe. I’ll never forget [...]
There’s a reason liberals are considered intellectual
Filed in blog, Thu, 13 May 2004, 3:43 pmI am not truly a liberal. I am much more libertarian in political terms and actually lean a tad conservative in my personal beliefs. However I feel a tad more kin towards liberals as I am rather tolerant of people’s lifestyles and choices - something that does not go over well with the Republican Party. [...]
