Video Captures Online!
For those who missed the fun. UPDATE: I hope to also get my celebrity interviews digitized. It'll be a lot less painful than an on-air enema.
The Longest Day of My Life
Beaming: my face as I walked up the stairs to my apartment last night at 1:30AM. I've never been more proud of my friends, family, and fans. Darn near everyone came out to support our Help-a-thon, which will assuredly go down as one of the (if not THE) most successful programs ever aired on TechTV. [...]
Rockin' Around
There was much merriment in the Gnomestead last night. My only hope is to do Hoopty's camerawork justice in the editing process. Perhaps I should pass the DV tape on to him, and let the Boobiemeister have at it? Nobody saw the cookies that Gretchen baked. She had to use a special 'ugly' formula to [...]
White Out
Sprocket's getting shaved, Gretchen's running around town picking up last-minute comestibles, and I'm stuck here in my cubicle waiting for TSS this evening. We'll be promoting the Help-a-thon in “Lightning Round” fashion. Marty and Patrick will be grilling me with twenty tech questions, preparing me for the 18 hours of live hell that will be [...]
No Waffles
I just met Wil a few hours ago. I know that some people believe he's a nut, but I think he's alright. And yes, let there be no doubt – he's a true geek. I'd like to work with him at some point in the future; you don't find many technophiles who can complete a [...]
Patterns!
If you'd like to see the Call for Help-a-thon promo running on TechTV, tune in to the beginning of each show. It appears that it's the first commercial run on the first commercial break. We filmed it in my real bedroom on Wednesday and it started airing this morning. Those are not my real pajamas, [...]
The Gnome Before Christmas
Our stockings were hung by the chimney with care in the hopes that a laundry day soon would be there. With me using Windows and G on the Mac, the household was open to plenty a hack. When what to my wondering eyes should appear than one scary lookin' fat dude in a red jumper [...]
Running Over Old People
Is it unhealthy to really, really, really want a Segway?
Paper or Plastic?
G has a wish list on Amazon, but… there's nothing on it that jumps out at me. I'd much rather rely on guided inspiration, but that can only take me so far. I've learned one thing from holidays past – a smattering of stuff gains nothing but dust with her. Two Christmases ago, I purchased [...]
Wireless Wabe
In an hour or so, I'll hop into a taxi and jet across town to Blowfish. Normally, I wouldn't bother with it – but I'm going with a new-found friend. He knows people over there. Good atmosphere, good music, decent sushi. Tonight's journey shouldn't break the bank, if I understood Eric correctly. I'm chilling in [...]
No More Bush
Oh my god… the dancing bushes have been pushed off of my page! I guess I could stand to share more thoughts with you when I find the time? Like, why won't this rash go away? And who moved my cheese?
Spilling Cream Cheese
My voice is going out, but I don't know why – or where it's headed. Perhaps it's going to kick the tall guy's ass. He sat directly in front of me at the Cirque du Soleil performance of Varekai. From what I could see, I was extremely impressed. Perhaps I should run away and join [...]
You Sure Talk Purdy
Gretchen and I are headed out to catch a local Cirque du Soleil show, but I wanted to share this earlier B&B post with you: “After months of being on hiatus, we're ressurecting our forums. This time, however, the system is Web-based and FREE registration will be required for those who post messages. Mike has [...]
