Googlefasting: Day 3
Continued from Day 1, Day 1.5, Day 2… Had to get directions to the W Hotel in downtown Seattle. Yahoo! gave me a map link for “W Hotel Seattle” as well as an “availability” link for reservations. Cool! But when I clicked on Yahoo!'s map link, I got a map of downtown and *ALL* the [...]
Move over, Blogebrity?
Hey Nick, I still loves ya (always have, always will) – but there seems to be a new game in town: The Blog 50. I tried to leave a comment along the lines of “expecting to get shoved out of the top 50 by someone on MySpace,” but the comment form barfed with a Fatal [...]
Googlefasting: Day 2
Well, I posted an interim update (day 1.5) to introduce the concept of Googlefasting to Lockergnomies. Didn't use search for the better part of the morning, as I was out and about (including speaking at the Podcast Hotel over lunch). Need to stop mail from coming to us while we're gone on vacation. I try [...]
OtterBox for the iPod
When I was asking around for iPod case suggestions, a few folks told me about OtterBox. It's not the most lightweight iPod case on the planet, but I'd go as far as to say that it's one of the strongest. Indeed, the sample I've received is quite sturdy – your iPod ain't gonna suffer in [...]
Dogstars
Eh. I'm not sure if this is going to work. I don't think people care enough about their dogs to shoot videos of 'em doing stupid things. Or, if they do, I don't think the owners would be crazy enough to share 'em with the world. Then again…? Well, here's Dogstars (if you think your [...]
The Mitosis Waltz
Dude! I found an old recording of one of my distant relatives this morning. Couldn't believe it. He was singing about mitosis and meiosis… what an oddball. Methinks he had too much Moxy on the brain. His name? Klaus der Fruvous.
Scott-O on Directing Cherub – Joss Whedon Angel Parody
Several years before Chris launched Lockergnome, he appeared in a movie weilding something that looked like a cross between an egg beater, a plunger and a toilet brush. Unfortunately this was pre-Web, so the video isn’t available for your viewing pleasure. The genius behind this early casting of the future chest model, Scott-O, joined us [...]
How I Won 2 Xbox 360s in Less Than 24 Hours
It was quite a simple process, actually – thanks to TextPayMe. First, you sign up for an account (free). Then, you send your friends a co-branded link which designates you as the referral. Next, you wait for 36 of 'em to sign up. Finally, you wait for another 36 of them to sign up. With [...]
Googlefasting: Day 1
I’m frustrated. Utterly frustrated. I don’t think I’ll be able to make the seven days, seriously. I thought that Yahoo! would be a great substitute, but that’s turning out not being the case. Googlefasting is painful. I had to catch myself a few times – but rewriting a few of my default utilities has pretty [...]

Here's a Free $5.00 for You – And a New Service
Yeah, you can make $5 for free today – so long as you have a cell phone. I detailed it in last night's Lockergnome report on TextPayMe. To paraphrase, TextPayMe allows you to send and receive money using SMS on your mobile phone. Just for signing up for a free account, they’ll give you $5. [...]
Apple Computer, Inc. Should Hire Maxxuss, Not Sue Him
I love Woz (he did a wonderful keynote at Gnomedex 4.0 a couple of years ago). He's no longer directly involved with Apple, but Steve Jobs is – in a big way. I just want you to read this tiny piece of history and tell me if one of Apple's impending moves is just a [...]
