Drama Llama

Posted by Jason Cosper | Filed under General

I really wish Boing Boing would say something about what is going on with erasing every mention of Violet Blue from their site.  Blog feuds — if that’s what this even is — are fucking retarded and I seriously thought the team over there was better than that.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Violet a few years ago and I’ve hung out with Cory, Xeni and Mark a number of times.  From what I know, they’re all pretty reasonable folks.  So if there’s a beef, please squash it.  And put the posts mentioning Violet back or at least explain what’s going on.  Your readers would really appreciate it.

Update: Boing Boing has addressed what is going on.

I find that one word sums these commercials up better than anything else: Shipoopi!

Planning A Jailbreak

Posted by Jason Cosper | Filed under Geekery, iPhone

Now that it’s a given that I’m buying a 3G iPhone, I need to figure out how to use a jailbroken first gen iPhone to pull traffic data for my TomTom One.  It might take a little work tho as Google’s not turning up any solid results.

Anyone on the LazyWeb have any ideas?

P.S. It might be a wise idea to buy .Mac at Amazon (for $69.99) in the next few days if you don’t already have it. That way, when MobileMe replaces .Mac you’ll have saved $30 on your first year of service.

Bad Gas

Posted by Jason Cosper | Filed under Los Angeles, Photography, Rant, WTF

It’s gas prices like these (spotted last night on the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin in Hollywood) that make me really glad that I take the Red Line to work.

It should be noted that I filled up on Monday in northernmost Orange County for $4.13 for regular — so this station is likely gouging a bit due to its proximity to the freeway and tourist spots — but that doesn’t really matter. This sign feels like a fairly decent indicator of what’s to come.

Now if you’ll excuse me, it looks like it’s time to go price out a bicycle…
