Game Boy!
Link lives on with this afternoon's purchase of a Game Boy Advance SP. I couldn't resist. The last handheld gaming system I owned was Sega's Game Gear. Now I have a feeling the GB is going to 0wn me. It's so compact – and backwards compatible (for the most part). Got any old cartridges you [...]
More Stuff 4 Less
My new favorite blog: More Stuff 4 Less. Now, imagine combining this with Marc's idea. Stop going to content – start letting it come to you. That was the idea behind starting Lockergnome seven years ago. The model is changing, and I believe I'm ready to adapt.
You Down with Audigy?
I love upgrades – especially when they work. Right now I'm listening to my MC Hawking MP3s on test hardware: Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 speakers plugged into a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum card. Physics has never sounded so good. Hell, even the little 'klack' that Windows spits back when I click a link sounds [...]
Kevin Costner's Butt
Tired of hearing about “the War?” So were Elijah Wood and Kevin Costner. They successfully lobbied Fuzzy to enable you to search the Feedster database and return non-war results. Nice, eh? Now, if only we could get all the other indexes to follow suit. In recent days, I've found myself turning to Feedster instead of [...]
Terrorist Attack in SF!
Let's read the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language's definition of terrorism: “The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.” Now, let's read this story. [...]
Pissin' for Peace
Like yourself, I was in shock and awe when I heard that some folks had organized a 'vomit in' in our fair city of San Francisco. Did anybody bother to think about the feelings of all of those anorexic people out there? They've got nothing to contribute to the cause! Normally, I wouldn't bring up [...]
Operation Retarded Title
The troops are doing their job, but what about the rest of us? I say it's time to launch Operation [Insert Retarded Title Here]. Our mission? To do our best to keep the peace at home – no matter where “home” happens to be. To help get you in the mood, I've uncovered this link [...]
If I Ran The Zoo
We just watched the Little People of America storm 16th with their chant: “Hell no – we won't grow!” They were followed shortly by the Bay Area League of Women Menstruators, who could be heard chanting: “Hell no – we won't flow!” Naturally, they were only copying the Crackheads of North America, who were screaming: [...]
Venting Plasma
I'm not really in a bad mood – I'm just blowing off steam. We've got morons up the wazoo crowding the streets of San Francisco to protest the war. It took me well over an hour to get to work this morning – when it normally takes ten minutes. I don't mind peaceful demonstrations – [...]
The Sniffle Shuffle
It's time to go through my TechTV inbox, shuffle past the spam, and answer a few burning questions. “Chris, why did you cut your hair like that?” I had no choice; it had been burned to a crisp with the bleaching / coloring process. I could either wear the mullet wig for a month or [...]
Sick and Sicker
I've been sick this past week, but that hasn't stopped me from testing applications for Lockergnome. In between trips to the toilet, I stumbled upon Huminity. I'd point you directly to its site, but I don't want you to install it. In fact, I want you to tell everybody on the PLANET not to install [...]
Fruity Terror
We are on Orange Alert.
Geeks Gone Bald
My illness appears to be passing, although I can still hear some amount of stuffiness when I speak. All should be well by tomorrow morning. I'll return to work, head held high – reflecting the lights above. Yep. I killed the fro. Didn't have much of a choice, mind you. I'm starting from scratch, and [...]
I See Geek People
I was looking for something a few minutes ago and… well, the results speak for themselves. Do a search for anything on Amazon.com – and they'll tell you where to find it. “See 'the finest breast' on Page 3 of the menu at Cafe Starbucks.” / “See 'my wife' on Page 53 of Things You [...]
Filled with Phlegm
I planned on spending most of the afternoon searching for open access points in my neighborhood. Mother nature decided to intervene; my sinuses have been draining down the back of my throat for the better part of two days, completely nullifying my sense of taste. I tried half a spoonful of wasabi, but the hit [...]
