Domain Squatters: Dregs of the interwebs

I find ways to remind myself daily of the multitude of levels of incompetence I possess. One of my many traits that lend a hand in the process is my ability to procrastinate on almost any given task. Especially the minute ones. About 2 weeks ago, I used a site to test the availability of…

More bailout ranting

No matter what side of the fence you sit on politically, I urge you to contact your Congressman TODAY and tell them firmly that their job will rest in their decision on the upcoming vote. Last week I contacted both Senators for the state of Texas and my district’s Congressman and explained to them my…

Recent phone pics.

A few of my favorite recent camera phone pics. Cameras on phones, who would need one of those? Swinging kid.

The answer

Not of which I was hoping for: http://muxtape.com/ So long my online mixtape creation .friend

Add this to my bumper sticker rant.

http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/18/gospelr-twitter-for-christians/ So sad to see what some deem appropriate or a good idea. Remember Christvertising?

Sick

I’m starting to wonder if kids are just bug transit systems. After feeling completely normal yesterday, the misses and I both took our turns in the last 24 hours alternating between watching kid and worshiping porcelain. A sad sight, really. Add up my entire life (including 4 recent years of daily interaction with junior high…

Seriously?

In my ever-losing battle to purchase the .com version of my name, I attempted again last night to see if the person in control of it would be willing to part with it. He was kind enough to respond today with an asking price only slightly higher than his first. OK, double. The dirty, money-grubbing…

RIAA strikes again

Muxtape’s are down. Message on mine: Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA. From their blog: No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely. Stay tuned. Beta users of Muxtape For Bands: you are unaffected by this outage. The RIAA is…

More email nonsense

The following is a real footer in an email received today. It’s the equivalent of the small talk/print at the end of an auto ad or the copyright infringement read at the end of Major League Baseball games. Sad. These guys really don’t have a need for something like this. In most emails they send,…

Real or Fake?

http://www.wingmusic.co.nz/listen.html Can’t be.

Dear Paste magazine,

I am writing this letter to inform you that our relationship is on the verge of coming to an end. It’s not me, it’s you. My courtship started late last year, November most likely. I found a link to your website and an offer from you to name my price for a subscription. I was…

When political correctness backfires…

I don’t have any idea who the American Family Association is nor have I ever heard of their website OneNewsNow.com but by the looks of it, they are a very far right, Christian conservative group. In fact upon a current visit to their site, the lead story is a call from their founder about boycotting…

Brevity is not an excuse for poor spelling.

First off, I am attached to the electronic communication medium more than I probably would like to admit. I am one of those that carries a multi-use phone or PDA. Although I rarely use the calendaring functionality of it, I am shackled by the phone, text, and email capability of the device. I send plenty…

I feel sick…

for butchering my kids hair tonight attempting a haircut. Utterly sick to my stomach. Now he hardly has any at all. Please grow back by morning.

Really?

For a mere $40 a year You’ve Been Left Behind will store documents and send emails to loved 6 days after the rapture. Seriously. No, this site is real. I love the stipulations almost as much as the concept. For one, there’s a 63 email limit. What happens if I have 64 friends? I also…

Hey Mark Cuban…

Thanks for taking us down to Clippers-ville. That Kidd trade really paid dividends. Now we not only sold our franchise point guard for pennies on the dollar, you’re going to fire our head coach for not being able to make the team better with lesser talent. Congrats. Signed, Mavs fan

laptop issues

I am not feeling well, not from anything viral, just the fact that since I have been home I haven’t been able to get my MacBook Pro to access the Internet one time. Wired or wireless. Makes me sick to my stomach. Try and run a digital business without a computer. Not good. Headed to…
