Welcome Back, Domain Name

That was all I needed. Apparently either GoDaddy hasn’t been emailing notices about the expiration of my domain name or I haven’t been getting them because until I got an email from Garrick Van Buren over my lunch hour, I had no idea that evilgeniuschronicles.org had expired on 7/26. Yikes! When it hit that 5 [...]

Party Like It’s 1989

Michelle Malone Band and Me
Originally uploaded by evilgenius

So the party has come and gone, and it was great. The food came at the right time, and I was amazed at how punctual the guests were. Usually, whatever the nominal start time is means people drift [...]

Party Calm Before the Storm

For the most part, everything is done for the party and now is just that uncomfortable waiting point before things get rolling. This will either be fantastic or a train wreck. I still haven’t heard from the band or the caterers so there is some faith on our part that all that will come together. [...]

Busy Days

I’ve been too busy to blog lately, a bad way to be in general for me but especially after getting a bunch of traffic from mixing it up with the A-Listers. C’est la vie, c’est la morte. The party preparations continue and the house is looking great. Foodstuffs are filling up in our pantry, fridge [...]

Potterless

Speaking of hype that doesn’t affect me…
I’ve never read a Harry Potter book and when I tried to watch one of the movies I thought it was perhaps the most boring thing I had ever seen and I didn’t finish it. On the one hand, as a bibliophile I love to see people so excited [...]

2500 PSI

Today has been early preparation for the party next weekend. The bulk of my day has been spent using the pressure washer we bought on sale in March but had yet to use. At this point, it’s been broken in. I think I used it long enough that I should already change the oil. Our [...]

Fallout from Shiny Things and Further Thoughts

My post about seceding from Scoble’s blog and the quest for the shiny seems to have caught a lot of traction. It’s crazy, you can never predict when or to which post it will happen. However, writing about Scoble increases the odds because if he links back it’s automatic for the people, baby.
That post [...]

Living Room Work

This living room was almost the deal breaker in buying this house. The paneling was ugly, made the room dark and gave it a very 70’s vibe. That makes sense, considering that’s probably when it went in. Two weekends ago we painted the previously white walls in Behr “Lion”, a shade that is kind [...]

Why I Dropped Scoble and Seceded from the Hunt for Newer Shinier Things

I have met Robert Scoble and I like him. He’s a good guy, and somewhere I have a photo and video of him with an AmigoFish sticker on his tripod, so that right there puts him close to my heart. I’ve followed him on and off for years, and am currently subscribed to his Scobleizer [...]

More on Gadgets

On Friday, I had my first stint watching videos on the Creative Zen V Plus. I wasn’t completely sold, but I have to sat it was quite an agreeable experience. When I synced it up, I let it move and transcode every video I had downloaded on the XP box, so there are about 25 [...]

Painting Done

The painting of the paneling is done and it looks fantastic! I wanted to procrastinate and not do it, but I have to admit that it was a good idea and I’m glad that it is done. It cost another weekend, but so be it. We did manage to find a little time to take [...]

R/C Jousting Knights

I got an email from Think Geek about these Radio Controlled Jousting Knights and for a second, I had that “I’ve got to have this” feeling. I don’t need them, but the concept is just so funny and cool that I wanted them. However, Think Geek got too clever for their own good.
They have [...]

More Painting and It Still Sucks

This weekend has been round two of painting. Our living room has three different surfaces - sheet rock that we painted last week, brick and panelling. We’ve never much cared for the paneling as it gives a very 70’s rumpus room vibe. The panelling is also behind a built-in entertainment center so it is kind [...]

New Portable Player

My mobiBLU cube that has given me so much trouble over the last year and a half finally became too much trouble to keep using. When I mounted it and tried to move files to it from my iBook I’d get file errors. If I retried up to 10 times, eventually it would work. I [...]

Podcast Circle Jerk Season Begins

I just got my first email from someone begging for votes in this year’s Podcast Circle Jerk. Sorry chochachos. I’ve never voted for myself, so there is no chance I’m going to vote for you. I truly hate the sheer ridiculousness of the claim that these couple nominees are the best podcasts out of 100,000 [...]

Bittorrent Plugin for iTunes

The author dropped me a note letting me know about this plugin to Bittorrent support to iTunes podcasts. This allows you to not only download torrented podcasts but to seed them as well. It is currently Windows only, but OS X support is in the plan. If you are a developer who wants to help [...]

I’m Incognito, Baby

There was a point where the only crimes Louis Pearlman was guilty of were the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync. Now he has upgraded that to swiping $500 million from various investors. He was caught in Guam while on the run for his crimes. The best part of this story is the name he was [...]

Weird Day

Yesterday we went out for lunch from work at the River City Cafe, and I happened to leave my cellphone there. Dumb Dave! I suspected it was there and I was planning on swinging by anyway. They had the sense to open it up, look at the address book for a “Home” entry and call [...]
