Welcome 2009!
The Lockhorn’s really summed up how I spent my first day of 2009.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. Post your experiences from last night in the comments.
My recent art purchase…
So the other day, I ordered some screen prints from Threadless.com. The poster tube arrived on Friday and after unpacking, I soon discovered the best little 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper ever. Check out the best packing slip ever. I love Threadless!
Cool garb…
So the other day at work I got one of these in the mail…
I know its completely useless, but so is about 90% of the crap in my apartment… so it fits in well. Oh, I’d also like to thank YouTube user bassplayer71 for uploading a video of this. He took all the work out of my simple blog post. Yahoo!
Oh to be a kid again…
So earlier today I kept hearing this weird knocking noise. It just kept repeating and got kind of annoying. When I looked outside, I saw two young kids throwing rocks into an empty tractor trailer rig. I’m so glad that my immediate thoughts were “Why didn’t I think of that? That looks fun,” rather than “You darn kids with your rap music and mischief.” I don’t ever want to turn into that stereotypical grumpy old man figure so gloriously depicted in most cartoon strips and television sitcoms.
I just about peed myself…
It’s amazing how some of the simplest things, when dubbed over w/ death metal, can become soo amusing.
Man have I been busy (sorta)…
So since my last update, I’ve been quite busy doing all sorts of semi-productive things to better myself on the internet world.
<- Pic of me being productive.
Over the past week, I’ve done alot of brainstorming and experimenting with new things. So far I have a few terrific ideas that I’ve been playing with for some of the sites that I currently run.
I want to do the following…. transform the former Vidspot.net site into a content creators paradise where I (and some good friends) can post their video works online. I feel this will give me a chance to do some of the random video stuff I did throughout my high school career.
Additionally, I’ve come up with some rather clever ideas for future episodes (and commercials) of Cooking With Geeks. The only problem is actually getting around to filming them. Penn College is on Spring Break all next week, so maybe my personal productivity will go up but the group activity (i.e. filming) will be at a complete halt.
Speaking of personal productivity…. I’ve been playing around with Ubuntu Linux. Why, you ask? I’m doing it as an effort to lessen the amount of lag I experience when actually editing video. I figure slapping Linux on an old PC of mine will help me stay focused (i.e. one comptuer for entertainment, and the other for podcasting and such). I’ll let you know how that all unfolds if and when I get the second episode up…. haha.
In other news, I’ve fallen in love w/ my new keyboard, and can’t stop eating easter candy. Speaking of Easter, I bought a whole ham today at Giant. Maybe it will be featured in my cooking show? I think I’m rambling… oh well. I best get going to bed. I may (or may not) have work tonight….. (thats another can of worms I’ll get to some other time). Until we meet again.

Oh yeah, post a comment people. I’m not doing this for my health…
Yesterday…
Dilbert was spot on again. Check it out.
Code Monkey…
After listening to last weeks episode of TWIT (This Week In Tech) I simply fell i n love with the work of Jonathan Coulton. Check out some of his work in this YouTube video. That is all.
So I was talking to my friend Joe today…
and he was telling me about how he doesn’t really do much anymore besides work. He told me “Yeah, I don’t really do much except maybe brush my teeth a whole lot.” He then went on to tell me about Crest Whitening strips and how the knock off CVS brand sucks. My friends are awesome.
Here is a picture that I drew of Joe.
Good lord… not sleeping for a long while (since yesterday @ 2PM makes me do dumb things).
Happy Leap Day!
Fashionably awesome…
I wonder if he dresses himself….
