Vacation

June 25th, 2006 |

I love being on vacation. I want to do it all the time. But then I might get bored of it.
Good drive down to Florida this year. We did a couple of hours Friday night after I got off work, and then the rest on Saturday. I ended up driving most [...]

WOW

June 21st, 2006 |

I GOT IT TO WORK! 12 Firefox tabs and at least four or five different forums, plus tons of time spent trying to get it to work on my own Apache server with no luck (although I did finally get php to connect to MySQL on my machine, so that was a major unrelated [...]

McPheever Rises

June 15th, 2006 |

You can hear Katharine McPhee’s first single and B-side here. It’s not really released for another couple of weeks, but I guess Kiss radio is special. Anyway, I point it out because the recording is actually so much better than I was expecting it to be. “Over the Rainbow” has replaced “My [...]

Commerical Fun

June 14th, 2006 |

Sometimes I love commercials. This one had me falling off the couch.

And this one’s not funny, but it’s one of my favorite recent commercials. Okay, it’s mostly because I like [...]

I know some of y’all are into independent film. If you’re free tomorrow night, the 48 Hour Film Project is showing a festival of the films submitted last year. Basically, the project gives aspiring filmmakers 48 hours to write, cast, shoot and edit a film, which is then shown as part of the [...]
