New Layout
All the blog house-cleaning I did yesterday got me in the mood to revamp the site’s look, so I did that as well. I figured my blog has looked the same for nearly two years, and it needed freshening up. Not everything is 100% functional yet (like the links at the top), but it’s pretty [...]
A Night with TBN
Was over at the dudes’ last night having a couple beers and we decided to see what we could find on their antenna/cable-less TV in the living room. For our entertainment, the Trinity Broadcasting Network happened to come in very clearly, so we watched televangelists leap around and shout uplifting things at a defenseless audience [...]
Database Repair and Upgrade
Had a problem with the mySQL table for my comments, which disabled comments for a while and littered my blog with errors. I repaired it, but the error was in place for nearly 48 hours, so any comments during that time have been banished to SQL limbo. Soory aboot that, eh?
Since I was fixing some [...]
Adobe Lightroom
Lightroom 1.0, Adobe’s answer to Apple’s Aperture, finally came out a couple days ago. There has been a beta version publicly available on their site for several months now, but I tend to not test out beta software. I’ve only spent about an hour now with the final version, but so far I’m extremely impressed, [...]
Most Surreal Night I’ve Had in a While
Amanda’s parents named her after a Don Williams song (called Amanda) and she likes to listen to it when she’s bummed out. Well for Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be “cool” to learn the song and play it for her. Fortunately for me, country is about as technical as punk, and the song contains [...]
Everybody Votes! Channel
Came home yesterday to a flashing blue light on my Wii, which is always an exciting time because I have new messages! It was a message from Nintendo announcing that they had surprise-launched a new channel: the Everbody Votes! Channel. “Make your voice heard!”
I didn’t really expect much, and I was right to not get [...]
Coolest Car Ad Ever
Looks like: Kickflip construction site, wallride over garbage truck, ollie up parking structure, heelflip roof gap.
Reminds me of the ultra high-speed slow-mo stuff in the opening of Girl Skateboards’ “Yeah Right!”.
My Concert Lens
I attempted some live music photography on my old Sony camera and got barely passable results. And as I mentioned before, the lens I got with my SLR is a great lens, but not so hot for indoor or low-light photography (f/3.5). The next lens on my shopping list is Nikon’s 10.5mm fisheye, which I [...]
Some Crap
Eh.
Insane Woman Saga Extravaganza
The calls have started coming in faster than I care to record, compress, and upload, but I did a bunch of them today. Enjoy.

Notes:
• Have no idea what the guy with the “pornography charge” has to do with anything.
• Trespassing is her specialty, and she has been physically removed [...]
