Year: 2007

Wither Seven Grand?
So last night I was informed that Seven Grand is going to enforce a dress code of “collared shirts on the weekends” for the dudes in the new year. I can totally understand why they’d do that — seeing as how it’s a really nice bar and you’d want to discourage the riff-raff from hanging…

How Come You Taste So Good?
Tamales have to be my favorite part of the holiday season, hands down. Unfortunately, I only seem to have gotten a grand total of two of them from any of my coworkers or friends this year. Oh well, at least the ones I had were downright tasty…

Wakey Wakey, Eggs And Bakey
I know it’s not spring yet, but I feel like it might be time to come out of hibernation mode. While 2007 was okay overall — with a few highs and lows, just like most other years — I’m seriously ready for it to be over. 2008 is going to be absolutely massive tho. So…

ZeFrank On Privacy
Man, it sure is good to have Ze back — even if he is only updating once a week while the WGA strike is going on.

Oh R’lyeh?
Pardon me, I’m busy falling in love with LOLthulhu…

The Last 5 Songs I Bought On iTunes
One of the reasons I love iTunes is because it lets my sometimes questionable and eclectic music tastes be sated with a small handful of button pushes. Yeah, the DRM is a janky pile of shit — as all DRM is — but being able to scratch an itch right away is worth a buck…

One Step Closer
So I just stumbled onto Pushr via Installer.app tonight. After playing with it for a few minutes, I’ve gotta say that I feel like I’m getting close to my holy grail as far as Flickr apps go. Okay, so I can’t select which photos I want to upload or give them titles or tags —…

Ever have those days where you feel like the guy from Eraserhead? Yeah, me too…

Two iPhone Apps I’d Like To See
Like most of the other geeky iPhone owners out there, I’ve been playing with Installer.app lately. While it’s great and all, there are two apps that would make my life complete: Flickr Uploader: Yeah, I know I can mail photos to Flickr — but doing it one-by-one is just too damn tedious. Besides, I hate…

Purgatory
I damn near had a blistering Larry David style rant moment at the grocery store this afternoon. After getting into the express line with a single bag of cough drops, I notice that the middle-aged lady in front of me has made a mockery of the “15 items or less policy”. Okay, I’m not in…

How does one go about throwing away a trash can?

Fonejacker
After watching something yesterday on YouTube — which ended up being pretty forgettable in the end — I managed to stumble onto Channel 4’s Fonejacker. As someone who grew up on stuff like The Jerky Boys, I ended up consuming every one of them I could get my grubby little mitts on. I think what…

Where Is My Mind?
I know Surfer Rosa is supposed to be iconic and amongst the best rock albums of all time — but as time goes on, I’m finding that I like Doolittle way more. If you’re looking for something deep, there’s no point other than the one above. I guess I’m just sayin’, that’s all…

In Transit
Heads up, SF peeps! This weekend I’ll be driving up to the Yay Area for WordCamp to rep both DreamHost and Preshrunk in an official capacity. As it stands, I’m driving up Friday night and crashing out at Frazier’s secret headquarters somewhere in the East Bay. Since I don’t like being part of the problem…

Telekinesis
I know VNC has been done on phones and handhelds before, but the folks behind Telekinesis have done an awesome job of getting a remote desktop app onto the iPhone considering its constraints. What’s even more amazing tho, is that they’ve done so without a proper SDK and using Safari as their interface less than…

Hotel Yorba… On A Bus
Despite the fact that a few members of the audience get on my nerves a bit — shouty guy, I’m looking at you — here’s a great bit of footage from The White Stripes recent performance on a Winnipeg City Bus. Despite its shortcomings, it’s definitely worth sharing.

A Bottle Full Of Guilt
“In Fiji, a state-of-the-art factory spins out more than a million bottles a day of the hippest bottled water on the U.S. market today, while more than half the people in Fiji do not have safe, reliable drinking water. Which means it is easier for the typical American in Beverly Hills or Baltimore to get…

Dramatic Prairie Dog, I Love You
I have all sorts of pretty videos loaded up on my iPhone in case I’m asked to demo it at all — like the Sony Bravia Ball Advert — but I’ve found that the most popular video seems to be the one I’ve got embedded above and gets loaded from my YouTube client. I guess…
