Great show. Warren Haynes is an amazing guitarist. They ended the show with my favorite song too. Great night. Check out the other pics I took with my cell phone. Trivia: what kind of guitar is this? Alright.. Sleep time...

My boss was telling me they had a bunch of these at work when they came out. I remember working on these things in grade school.. I saw one at a garage sale last year, the guy was selling for $5.. he wouldn't budge on my offer... I didn't have money so I asked if I could just have it. Jerk.

Leave it to KC to find this. Prepare to be freaked out, laugh and cry all at the same time.

Boston

Today is the 110th Boston Marathon. If you know anyone running, you can go to the Boston Marathon website, and track their run. The guy that does the podcast I listen to called Phedippidations, Steve, is running in it, sounds like a lot of fun, but a lot of work! Good luck to Steve, and the other tens of thousands of people running this years marathon.

Cadbury Egg cake: Here's what happens when you make a cake with Cadbury eggs, rather then using real eggs. Silly man.

My man, Terry White is a blogger. Terry works for Adobe, and though he doesn't know that he's my main man, I've seen him speak at many Adobe and Macintosh events, and he's a super knowledgeable and swell guy.
Check out his link to the Urban Dictionary. Any slang word you can think of, throw in here and it will give you the definition for it. I even tried biatch!

Quote - "I get about 100 e-mails a day. We apply filtering to keep it to that e-mail comes straight to me from anyone I've ever corresponded with, anyone from Microsoft, Intel, HP etc. And I always see a write-up from my assistant of any other e-mail, from companies that aren't on my permission list or individuals I don't know."

Dear Lean Pockets,

Last night I sat down to dinner after a long days work. I was hungry and looking forward to trying one of your products my girlfriend picked up at the local grocery store. Lean Pockets: Three Cheese & Chicken Quesadilla.
I briefly studied the external look of the Lean Pocket, and it looked and smelled pretty good. The box happen to be sitting up on the counter not far from the kitchen table, so I stared at it as I ate my pre-dinner salad.
Take a look at the photograph on the box. As I studied it, I imagined biting into the soft chicken and cheese. Look how full that Lean Pocket appears to be - almost makes your mouth water doesn't it?

When I finished my salad, I quickly picked up my Lean Pocket and took a big bite out of it. Boy was I surprised. As I withdrew the remainder of the Lean Pocket from my mouth, I chewed what tasted like pastry bread and a slight bit of cheese. I looked down at the Lean Pocket in my hand, and had to chuckle. There, I held in my hand, was a hollowed out pastry. The cheese and chicken had settled to the bottom, and in NO WAY did it appear as it does on the box. The taste wasn't bad, but the fact that the internals of this pastry were so limited had me wanting another one when I was finished.

I've included pictures to show you exactly what I am describing. Please click on the photograph to see the picture larger. In your defense, this very well could be a production line mistake, so I'm not giving up on Lean Pockets just yet. But, as an owner of a business myself, I appreciate when inefficient products are pointed out to me.

Thank you for taking the time to review my letter and hope it assists you in your strive toward excellency.

Buddah, Kurt Kobain, shaving and other fun stuff

Today in history, Buddah was born, and Kurt Kobain was found dead. Just thought you'd like to know that.

How to shave: For the male readers - a complete guide with pictures on how to properly shave.. I wonder if it mentions using a sharp razor! I tend to use mine for months.. and after nicking myself a hundred times and losing pints of blood, I finally switch the fresh razor.. you'd think i'd learn.

Google SMS: This is probably one of the coolest, and least known google feature, that takes google beyond the computer and out into life. Simply send a text message to 46645 (googl) - in the message field you can type in just about anything - try, pizza 48161 - and you get all of Monroe's pizza places. I have also used it to find out the score of the Red Wings game - i just simply typed in Red Wings, and in a few seconds a text message kicked back to me with the score of the most recent game, and the next two games/times/dates. Very cool! Check out the page for more tips.

28 Day Slater

I'm Hank Williams bitch. I like how stars think they can get away with anything.. check out how good ol' Hank got himself arrested.

Craigs LIst: Sex for rent!: Might as well just be forward about it! I wonder if this guy has got any responses...

This had me cracking up - subscribe to this blog, it's really funny.

Bush was right!

This ones for Aaron..

Happy 30th Apple.

Well Macintosh, we've had a good time together. Never a rocky road, you've stood by me for quite a long time. I wouldn't call this a break up, I'd call it more of a "spending some time apart" period. Don't get me wrong, I love Macs. My grade school had them, and since then, I was never interested in using anything else.
The problem is your prices are killing me. I keep waiting for them to go down, but they just keep going up.
The machine I'm using now is a G4 Titanium Powerbook 667 MHz, 512 MB Ram, 25 GB hard drive. It's fairly slow, and I'm about out of room on it. Oh yeah, and the monitor went out. Fortunately, Jen had a giant monitor she's letting me use - so the living room coffee table looks a bit weird. My options are to fix the monitor for about $300, or use this as an excuse to get a newPC laptop. I'd love to get a new Mac, but it would be kind of crazy to get a Mac, for what I use my computer for these days. I'm not doing much graphic design at home anymore, so my computer is used more for editing photos, blog posting, news reading, music.. not anything I would justify buying a $2500 machine for.
I haven't really made the decision I'm going to buy one yet, I might think about it through the summer - but I do think my mind is made up on the Mac/PC side.

Anyhow, not really having a computer for a week is my excuse for not blogging. I don't have any free time at work, and a lunch break is hardly enough time to throw together a blog.. so, I'd say this is going to get pretty random. I say that now, and watch, I'll probably blog 5 times this week. :)

On with the goods...

I went to the Shelter in Detroit when I was a young chap and saw this band that just tore the stage up. You could feel from the energy in that place, that this band was going to go places. Sure enough, AFI became a pretty big band. Check out this story called "The History of AFI".. And while your reading, take a listen this or this from AFI.

If I haven't told anyone.. I'm hooked on the HBO series Six Feet Under. Creepy, yet intriguing.


Well, if Google hasn't done enough already, I never thought they'd go in this direction. Google's announced "Google Romance." Find your soul mate using Googles newest search/profile tools. I think I'm going to find henry a date using it, if I do.. I'll post the results. :)

Great Prank - Proxy dialing on someone else's phone

Enter two phone numbers and Jajah.com calls them both and links the calls together.

This sounds like hours of fun. :)
