All Things Chill

I was with my three cousins yesterday (minus Ben, SADNESS), pretty much the only thing I can call real real family. I had to stop by to pick up a few things and say hello. We did a lot of nothing, which is exactly what I wanted. The four of us munched [...]

*Big inhale* Do you remember sitting with your legs crossed straining your eyes on a very old TV in the living room with the volume turned all the way down playing this game in your transformers pj’s stuffing your face full of that cereal that you get in a bag instead of a box at [...]

This actually made me laugh out loud when I read it. LOL. “…hide your hands.” That’s the dammed truth! If you can’t really place where you saw this guy before, he’s part of the new REALLY OLD “Square” advertisement campaign for Wendy’s. That’s what I get for not watching TV. [...]

I at a friend’s house. He hungry. I hungry. I raid fridge. I raid the pantry. I take 2 chicken breasts, bacon, green onions, tomatoes, spaghetti and parmesean cheese and put on countertop. I rub oil, salt and pepper on the chicken and put on George Foreman grill. [...]

LOL. What a great one-shot Naruto episode. After an awful story arch, the N-team in Japan has finally made something worthwhile and viewable. The theme this week is cooking, Ladies and Gents! The plot is transparent enough to figure out what’s going to happen at the end, but it’s hilarious and [...]

Wow. Haven’t done a Flash blog in a while. Full screen version here.My first crack at being a “MOO-SIC PREO-DEUCE-ERRRR”. Click PLAY SAMPLE on the bottom left hand corner of the Flash movie, turn up the volume and wait for it to load. Then, enjoy the beats! The entire process [...]

I was fortunate enough to find a good base of information at Jim Jubak’s Journal about acquiring shares of the Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW), the nation’s largest discount brokerage last April. My NASDAQ holdings have swelled by 60% (from US$9.65 to US$16.25) in about six months. Now what do I do? Research.
Yesterday, [...]

Short hair. Bright yellow shirt. Big smile. Marlboro Menthol Lights. I saw her the moment she walked in. I threw on another track in my set as I looked down and smiled to myself. She has to be trouble. Big trouble. I scratched my head foolishly as [...]

With a little elbow grease and a handful of determination, I’ve done it. I’m running Front Row, originally only for the Mac Mini and Intel Macs, on my PowerPC AlBook. That interface is soooo damn sexy. And if that wasn’t enough, I’m controlling the media interface using my phone (Sony Ericsson k770i) [...]

Yay for widgets! Bigger picture here. The New Mac OS X Tiger update (10.4.4) is about a week old, and I’m just starting to play with the newness of it all. Clint has a complete list of all the updates on iLoop. Most of it is background stuff that you won’t [...]

Jeremy Reimer has a front page article on Arstechnica (my second Internet home) on how Digital Rights Management (DRM) is affecting the DJ scene in Europe. I’d hate to think what would happen if it made its way over to the US. I bolded the important part for your skimming pleasure:
According to a [...]

Another Ars Roundup while I watch the emotional rollercoaster that is the Chicago Bears + Carolina Panthers game on FOX. If you didn’t know already, I write tech news for the illustrious Arstechnica.com. I’ve been switching off back-and-forth between Infinite Loop (Apple news) and Opposable Thumbs (Gadget sightings) this month, so there’s a [...]

Before I you start reading… Push play. Hee hee. I don’t ever say it enough, but Incubus is my favorite band of all time. I caught them back in college at a time where I wanted something more than just another “Kai” slow jam. Their first couple albums, including Make Yourself, [...]
