Disgust at the Driving Range
2007-08-19 02:21:00
Feeling capricious, I made the executive decision early in the week to attempt to make this weekend somewhat productive (in light of the upcoming move) and do my best to lay off the booze. Not to say I drink too much on the weekends (I don’t), but our recent alcohol-related endeavors had become trite and ...

The Underground World of? Video Bong Hits?!
2007-08-16 15:12:00

Rant: Alcohol-related Websites (or lack thereof)
2007-08-15 14:42:00
You know what upsets me the most? More than anything in the entire world? When low-class, high-percentage (performance?) beers get shafted on the web. The goddamn internet! Not real life. Not television. The internet. The cheap-ass, I-can-put-a-website-up-in-five-minutes-in ternet. Unbelievable! Case in point: Budweiser’s stalwart line of 5.9% pale lager, Natural Ice (commonly referred to as “Natty ...

Weekend Review: Part 1
2007-08-09 01:28:00
The other day I was on the couch naked surfing the ‘net again and decided to make a pit-stop at Jenn’s place and couldn’t help but notice an image from the latest Transformers movie. Two things immediately jumped out at me: the first was that she genuinely enjoyed the movie and the second (and more apparent) was her blatant misspelling of schedule. Now, I’m not going to delve into some diatribe on punctuation and grammer (great book, btw!), but I will take the time to give you my two cents on Transformers, because, quite frankly, the movie wasn’t all that great. Now, you’re right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And I’m not bashing Transformers in any way, because I enjoyed the movie as well, but what I’d like to touch on was how completely over-hyped this movie was and how that’s effectively brainwashed everyone who’s seen it. Most, anyways. Here’s how it all started. (more…)

A Song of Ice and Fire
2007-08-08 17:50:00
I was over at Erika’s blog the other day when I stumbled upon her Summer book reviews and it dawned on me that i haven’t read a book in forever! And that’s a shame because I consider myself well-read. This dreadful feeling was also enhanced because of the recent Harry Potter release and me being ...

Penguins and Razorblades
2007-08-02 20:54:00
When I think about joy and happiness the first thought that comes to mind is: penguins. No, penguins and seals. God, those things are so damn cute. And when I think about love and caring, my first thought is of my family, my beautiful girlfriend and all of my friends. I hold these people close ...

The Story So Far?
2007-08-02 01:40:00
As I sit here at my computer drinking a warm Natty Ice and chain-smoking like I’m poolside with a 40 of Steel Reserve, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness knowing I have 30 days left on my lease. Thirty days until this 800-square foot shit-hole I’ve called “home” is no more. Thirty ...

Broke As Hell + Pownce? Review
2007-07-27 15:09:00
It was just after 12pm EST, Thursday, when I got off the phone with Cox Communications. Those sons of bitches killed my internet and I wanted to know why! Especially in light of me writing them a $95 check just two weeks prior. Those shady bastards, I tell ya. I had a land-line that I ...

Google?s Next Big Move
2007-07-24 18:27:00
The 700 Mhz Spectrum I’ve been reading a lot recently about Googl e and their forthcoming bid on the new 700 Mhz wireless spectrum and things seemed a bit foggy. Is this spectrum something along the lines of WiFi? Is this a large cell phone network? What the hell is this so-called “open-access wireless broadband pipe” that ...

Sunday At The Park
2007-07-24 06:32:00
I was at work this morning (Monday) going through my Firefox bookmarks when I stumbled upon this update on the Fox News homepage and it took my breath away. Why? Well, because just the other night at a minor league baseball game (Tidewater Tides) a group of friends and I were nearly killed by ...

iPhoney!

For those of you that don’t know, an iPhone Nano is heavily rumored to be released in the U.S. this year. This comes after iPhone contract confirmations in the UK and Germany under the providers Vodafone and T-Mobile. If you’re not familiar with the iPhone Nano, it’s rumored to replace the iPod Nano (I think) ...

podPress / The Decemberists
2007-07-20 18:53:00
Today I found a Wordpress plug-in called podPress and it’s remarkable. Not only does it install without any issues, but it’s programmed to publish directly to the site and iTunes! Sweet! And as fate would have it, I’m in the process of browsing voice recorders that export as .mp3 files, so prepare yourselves for some ...

Wit?s End: Inaugural Update
2007-07-20 04:46:00
Words can’t describe how excited I am at the notion of blogging again. But this time around it’s going to be different. Before, my blogging was less of an outlet and more of a presentation; I was attempting to provide content or a service. This time around things will be from a more personal, anecdotal ...
