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!
I have a blog?
Whoops. So life has been a little hectic as of late. I switched jobs for the fourth time in 1 year, and now I think I can finally proclaim success in finding a job that suits me rather well. This job is at Supply Source Inc. in downtown Williamsport. I am doing marketing and IT stuff on day shift. Hoorah! Maybe with this new found schedule I’ll be able to do more cool web-related things…. for starters, check out some of the pics tbat I uploaded of where I work….
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 haven’t forgotten about you…
I apologize for not updating my blog as of late. I’ve been really busy as of late. I would like to let you know that I do have several great ideas for blog posts, but I still have to write them. Stay tuned… good things come to those that wait.
I just about peed myself…
It’s amazing how some of the simplest things, when dubbed over w/ death metal, can become soo amusing.
My Comcast bill does not make sense…
So about a month ago, being that my bill was getting close to $100 a month, I decided to up and cancel my cable from Comcast. I still however kept the internet service. When I went to cancel, the one lady told me that their would be a one-time service charge of about $15 (to install some sort of regulator) and my internet bill would go up a bit.
So I got my bill in the mail on Saturday and the whole thing is confusing as hell. I basically got all sorts of credits for my internet and former cable service (which should be canceled). In addition to this, I had 3 one-time charges… one for the cable regulator, and two very costly ones for “Home Network 6MB.” The first one is like $80.62 and the other is for $59.95. The total bill due to Comcast came to $24.95.
Does anyone know what these Home Network 6MB charges are for? Also, should I go to Comcast on Monday to fight it? I mean $25 isn’t a bad bill… I just don’t want to have to these charges come up again. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
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…
New Keyboard
Out of necessity, (my left Control Key stopped working) I bought a new Apple super slim keyboard today. This bugger is so slim and tiny… I simply love it. I never thought I’d be blogging about a keyboard, but I just feel so comfortable typing on it, and its small form factor leaves all sorts of extra room on my desk. Apple has certainly done it again with this product. I just wish they would come out w/ a full size version of this thats wireless.
Maybe with the new keyboard, I’ll blog more? Only time will tell…
Yesterday…
Dilbert was spot on again. Check it out.
Your Favorite Holiday Sweet…

I’m curious as to what everyones favorite holiday candy is. Is it jelly beans, candy corn, those valentines day hearts, candy canes, popcorn balls, peeps, mary janes, or something else not listed? Post your favorite in the comments. Thank you internet!
