I don’t have cable TV, but I do have a landline phone so instead of cable internet, I have DSL. Well, lately it’s been dog-ass slow. And today I decided to check the speed out. We were cruising at a miserly 300kbps. Which, yes, is a lot faster than a modem, but it ain’t no…
Woot!
I don’t usually advertise websites, but I found this site (Woot!) interesting. It’s an e-commerce site of sorts. The catch? They only offer one product for sale each day. The product is usually heavily discounted. They don’t reveal a new product until midnight every night. Anyway, sounds like a neat idea. Here’s the link… http://www.woot.com/…
Of Burfdays and Pitchforks
It was a pleasant surprise when Gus (and Alexis) contacted me some months ago about getting and I tickets to the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. We planned on having a grand weekend together of music, fun and awesome! Well, the reality was music, fun, awesome and tired. It was great to see Gus and…
The schedule is killing me… (slowly)
I thought I was tough (I coulda’ been a contender?) I thought I could take a lot of shit, and it appears that I can take a lot, but my one year anniversary in Illinois is fast approaching, and it hasn’t gotten any easier. I must say the whole commute to Chicago every week is…
Super Addictive Word Association
OK… This is fun, and by that I mean it eats your brain for a few days… You should definitely do this with other people… it’s impossible to get on your own unless you’re a glutton for punishment. http://shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi Good Luck! –sam
Quick Review: Queen & Country
Finally had an opportunity to sit and read Queen & Country: Operation: Broken Ground, a modern spy comic book series by Greg Rucka and Steve Rolston. Greg Rucka is a fantastic writer that made his debut with the thriller mini-series, Whiteout. Rolston is a bit of an odd choice for this story. His clean lines…
LA GUNS! Tonight!
There is probably only one person on my friends list that will appreciate this… but L.A. Guns is playing tonight… right here in Shampoo-Banana! LOL http://www.thehighdive.com/modules/calendar_ve/index.php?op=day&day=20070413 –sam p.s. And no, I won’t be going… I’ll be drinking around the corner at the Blind Pig instead.
Easter Carols?
I had the oddest experience this evening. Heard the doorbell ring, and went to check who it was… Wouldn’t you know, it was a bunch of Easter Carolers. In a former life, I went to church twice on Sunday, once on Wednesday, and did Tuesday night visitation… and I’ve never heard of Easter Caroling. After…
O-Town! Wassup!
Hi gang, Liz and I are in Orlando for a few days. I’m working, but that shoudn’t deter me from having fun. Sounds like we’ll be going to Back Booth tomorrow night to see some cool and interesting local bands (I know… cool, interesting local bands in Orlando? Whoda thunkit!?) Friday night appears to be…
