Dumbest Bumpersticker Ever
Was sitting at a red light on my way back from a client site today and saw the dumbest bumpersticker ever printed:
“SMILE! Everyone will wonder what your up too”
Now, what the bumpersticker is attempting to say is stupid enough, but there are not one but TWO grammatical errors in a block of text less than [...]
FLAC
I’ve decided that Troutmouth fully endorses the incredible audio compression technology FLAC. Being an MP3 connoisseur, I had heard of FLAC before, but didn’t really have a need for it. All I knew was that real audio geeks, the kind that make their own DAT recordings of live shows, loved FLAC, and that it was [...]
Troutmouth MP3s
We got to test-drive the recording setup today and it’s working out incredible for us. Unfortunately, WE were way off all night. I could make up all sorts of excuses like how cold it is in February in Wyoming, yadda yadda, or you could just check out some of the MP3 clips I promised and [...]

Tecmobowl IV
Well another goddamn Superbowl has come and gone, and strangely enough, the outcome has had absolutely no impact on daily life (mine or otherwise). So last night was Tecmobowl IV, a “tradition” in which a bunch of my friends get together, choose the two teams that are playing in the Superbowl that year, and pit [...]
