Everyone knows I’m a big t-shirt nut. Well, not EVERYONE, but, you know, EVERYONE! Here are a few faves I found on a list of 107 t-shirts for geeks that do not suck thanks to a link from t-critic.com. It’s all about pwning and being a pr0n *. Common concerns on the net… What geeks think (and, by the way,… Read more →

The Tournament of Dorks Parade
George Lucas is second only to Gene Roddenberry in the dork kingdom. He’s like Vice President of Dorkdom. So, when he says he’s bringing 200 storm troopers to the 118th annual Tournament of Roses Parade, well, it’s gonna be a swingin’ affair fo shiz. PASADENA, Calif. – Not long from now, in our very own galaxy, the “Star Wars Spectacular”… Read more →
Netflix CEO Illustrates Corporate Website Problem
I was watching 60 Minutes tonight and their story on Reed Hastings, CEO of online DVD rental company Netflix, and there was an interesting moment that identifies a real problem with corporate websites – finding contact information. As someone who has co-owned a web development company since 2001, I have seen the internet change dramatically in a short period of… Read more →
Nerds on IRC Can Be Funny and Nerdy
I found a site tonight that apparently contains a database of quotes from chat conversations most of which are pretty funny if often geeky and nonsensical. Here are a few of my favorites. This is one reminds me of the conversation between Richard Pryor and the stuttering boxer in Harlem Nights. DarkPaladin : You know how people don’t spea properly… Read more →
The Geeks Get the Girls
I was reading A Girl’s Guide to Geek Guys and while I’m not a COMPLETE geek, I will admit that my annoyingly lengthy diatribe tonight with my girlfriend on the benefits of recording analog as opposed to digital (sorry, K!) puts me firmly in the category of “music geek.” To make me feel better, I submit the lyrics to the… Read more →
Happy NamBloPoMo! It’s Like Festivus for Bloggers
Apparently, November is NamBloPoMo or National Blog Posting Month. This happens to collide with NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. In NaNoWriMo, your job as a good and tidy writer is to write an entire novel. Given the fact that most of us Gen X’ers were born with the ADD gene (recently discovered) and really have only the time and/or… Read more →
Wishlistr = Wish List on Steroids
In the past, I have used a wishlist at Amazon.com to aide friends and family members in finding gifts for me for Christmas. The truth is that, while I love my family and they are more than generous, sometimes they make odd choices when it comes to presents mainly because I’m probably not the easiest guy to shop for. I… Read more →
Got the Flash Header Adjusted
You may notice that there is a header at the top of the page that is now a random Flash banner. No? Well, pay attention, damnit! What do you think I do this blog for, my health? Seriously, let me know what you think. The photos (with the exception of the two shots of me playing bass) are all my… Read more →
Getting My Goals in Order
I was browsing my friend, Ian’s blog, and saw this post about a nifty little gadget he found online. Since I found out both about the Google Calendar AND LastFM from his blog, I figure I’ll listen when he says a web widget is cool. This is something called “Joe’s Goals” and it simply tracks goals you set for yourself… Read more →
Brand New WordPress Blog Functional
As I mentioned previously, I have been migrating my blog over to WordPress for about a week now. I’ve definitely learned to start with the most-used software and then, if you so choose, move to something lesser known. Migrating was difficult and I’m not done. A few things to note about the new design: 1. If you see anything wrong,… Read more →
