Watch out for Rolex
Fake Rolex Watch… Rolex is not for all… Wholesale Rolex… Gift someone you love with a Rolex… what's up with the recent flood of Rolex spam? I can't be the only one who's getting this stuff, unless it's a conspiracy. I never wear a watch, because there's always someone within earshot who has one. “What [...]
Fogging the View
No broadband in the hotel room – which is a blessing. I've walked into closets bigger than our gnome-sized accomodations. I wasn't expecting much, given the price we paid for our week-long package. Still, I could have done without the screaming girlfriend this morning. She found what appeared to be a boxelder bug crawling on [...]
Land Between Two Rivers
Despite the torrential downpour, we're heading to Iowa in a few hours. My brother's wedding is on Saturday. Wicket and Pixie are staying with their maternal grandparents this week. According to the weather reports, Des Moines is gonna be pretty chilly. I see: Mostly Cloudy, AM Showers, Isolated Thunderstorms, Windy, and Mostly Sunny in the [...]
The B I B L E
I'm not a very religious man, and I don't have an iPod, but I still think this (Audio Bible Player) is kinda cool. It's the King James Version, not the Catholic Guilt / You're Going to Hell Version that I grew up with. I've read parts of the Bible, but not all of it. I [...]
Opinions are like…
There's an awful lot of hoopla surrounding Marc Canter's recent announcement about bringing even more commercialization into the blogosphere. I'm thrilled to see that Lockergnome was thrown into the discussion, which tells me that I'm doing something right (or wrong, which is still right). Jason was probably the most prolific in his public response, although [...]
It's Saturday Night
Like millions of Americans, I opt to avoid NBC during the airing of Saturday Night Live. It's easier to skip lousy segments when you pre-record it on your PVR. “Weekend Update” is still my favorite – but that's not why I felt the need to bring up SNL this morning. Ashlee Simpson – busted. Ouch. [...]
Just Desserts
Even when it's cold outside, frozen desserts are awesome. Lately, I've become addicted to the 50-calorie Fruit Stix (found at Whole Foods). The Pineapple one is best, IMHO. I'd just as soon enjoy a snack that has something my body can use – as opposed “food stuff” that sits on most store shelves. Vanilla yogurt [...]
Emulation Saturday!
It's time for another Activision classic – Kaboom. How high can you score? All those simple action and adventure games of the '80s are sorely missed. Neave fills in the gap quite nicely with Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac Man, Simon, and Tetris. Game over? No, it's just beginning.
LCD (Love Crystal Display)
There's a brand new Samsung 712N sitting on someone's desktop tonight. It was time to send that ol' CRT to the closet – right on top of the ol' flatbed scanner. LCD is the only way to go – expecially when you spend most of your time sitting within Windows. Even gamers, though, should take [...]
It Makes Cents to Me
I decided to explain a bit more about why I openly support Google AdSense (and not just because they helped sponsor Gnomedex). I can't be the only indpendent content publisher out there who believes it's better than sliced bread?! UPDATE: Marc may very well be onto something…
MP3rcedes-Benz
“Rediscover musical diversity: every 6-8 weeks Mixed Tape presents an exciting blend of exclusive MP3s by new, international artists as a free download compilation.” And the best part is: you don't need a Mercedes-Benz to enjoy them! It's a 92 MB download if you grab all of the tracks – worth trying if you're a [...]
