Music, High School, and Star Trek. 3 for the price of one!

I feel like an ADD kid in a candy store today (no offense Ali), except I’m not ADD, and the candy is little news bits. I tried to catch up on some reading since I was AFK most of the weekend. The tabs in Firefox are so small at this ...

The Kitchen has reopened

Sunday, February 27th, 2005

I got home early this morning and replaced the broken router. I've got a new IP address from my ISP so any bookmarks directly to the kitchen aren't going to work anymore. Bummer. Hopefully SpeakEasy DSL is available in my area and I can get a dedicated IP with gobs ...

Score one for the consumers… I hope.

Today I noticed on Slashdot this beautiful tid bit of information The SciFi channel has made Episode '33' (Season 1 Episode 1) of Battlestar Galactica available for free, uncut and commercial free, online at SciFi.com. Also available are deleted scenes from the series. Is this a ploy by the SciFi channel ...

Smells Like Teen Spirit

The year was 1996 and grunge was everything for a happening 8th grader. My cool friend Matt and I were totally going to throw down at the Battle of the Bands at William and Marry on First Night, Williamsburg’s annual new years eve party. Mom and Karen were going to ...

The Kitchen is Closed

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

The kitchen is closed until Sunday when I can replace my router. My poor little Linksys Wireless B router finally died so I'm getting a WRT54G from Best Buy. Yippie, at least I can flash this new router with a custom Linux distro. I'm actually writing this at CompUSA on ...

No soapbox, but maybe a few rantish gestures. Here are some choice quotes from yesterday’s BBC article on the broadcast flag, and a few thoughts / half-baked theories (read: wishful thinking). TV piracy is a growing concern for broadcasters, particuarly as next-generation high-definition devices and programmes become more popular. Downloads of TV ...

I want my M.P.3.

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

Just when I thought the ranting was over I see this article on Cnet’s news.com which states that my favorite online music store, allofmp3.com, is being investigated by local police. Bummer for them, and I the consumer. Allofmp3.com is a Russian online music store which sells music without DRM (Digital Restrictions ...

Don’t tread on my digital rights

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

Its soap box time boys and girls, gather ‘round and listen to me preach about things beyond my control. Consider this foreshadowing to my days in the distant future where I will aimlessly wave newspapers at children in my front lawn calling them whipper-snappers. Yes, I’m 22 now and though ...

You can do a little two step…

Yay, I've been dorking around with code today and finally got around to updating the pages. The moblog archive is now online, see the moblog link on the toolbar. I've also added the recipes page and videos page. Yay! Maybe soon I'll include my delicious bookmarks. Oh, and to all my ...
