  • Keeping It Casual

    Oh Ask MeFi, you’re such a treasure trove of good advice sometimes…

    Here is how you tell if a woman that you meet likes to give casual blowjobs.

    Step 1. Look down. Is there a woman there? If so, move on to step 2.

    Step 2. Is this a casual situation? For example, are there more than 12 people around you? If so, are they wearing flip-flops? Is the amount of time that you have known this woman more likely to be tallied in days, minutes or seconds? If it is minutes or seconds, move on to step 3.

    Step 3. You are a casual blowee. You have determined that you have met a lady who likes to give casual blowjobs. She may also be a fabulous person and/or like to have long-term relationships, but you will have to ask her about that when her mouth isn’t full.

    It may be a bit crass for some of y’all — and I’m sorry if you think it was — but it was still funny enough for me to want to share it.

  • Gimme Some Ear Candy

    At first, I had a real hard time shelling out $9.99 for for 15 minutes worth of content — but now that I’ve done so, I’m really glad I picked up Ze Frank‘s The Songs from iTunes. It’s a collection of 21 Ze classics such as Where The Fuck Do Ideas Come From? and Anti-intellectualism in much better quality than the versions I ripped for myself from the original videos.

    So if you’re a fan, get to buying this. If you aren’t, don’t. And if you don’t know what I’m going on about, go watch The Show. Seriously, you’ll thank me later.

  • Hobo With A Shotgun

    I’m not sure why this trailer is showing in the Canadian release of Grindhouse and not the US one, but I’m happy to see it up on YouTube at the very least.

  • March Madness

    Yeah, that’s seriously my cell bill from the last month.

    Thanks to Twitter — and more importantly, my Twitter friends at SXSW, BarCampLA and eTech — I recieved a whopping 2185 texts to my phone this last billing cycle. That’s kind of a lot, isn’t it?

    Anyhow, I’m really glad that T-Mobile gives me an unlimited text plan as part of my Sidekick services. I’m pretty sure that I’d be turning off notifications right now if they didn’t…

  • Apple And EMI Drop DRM

    The best part (to me at least) about Apple and EMI’s DRM free deal is the news that full album prices are still going to stay the same. That is to say that the price will remain around the $9.99 mark — but your purchase will apparently net you the DRM free 256 kbps AAC versions of the tracks.

    Now I don’t know about you, but that gives me loads more incentive to start buying full albums thru iTunes. Well, you know, so long as I like most of the tracks on an album. That’s still going to be a big deal for me. Still, this whole announcement is a step in the right direction for online music.

  • BarCamp LA 3 Next Weekend!

    Heads up! The 3rd installment of BarCamp LA is coming up next weekend (March 24th & 25th, 2007) at Little Radio Warehouse in Downtown LA. For those folks who’ve never been to a BarCamp before, it’s a completely free conference (with meals, snacks and beer) where the schedule is open for the attendees to give presentaions on topics they are passionate about. Want to talk about Microformats or web frameworks? Great! Is teaching folks yoga or how to mod their Wii more your speed? That’s totally awesome too!

    As with most 2 day BarCamp type events, everyone’s encouraged to stay overnight — so bring your sleeping bag and your laptop — if they’re so inclined. If they do, they’re in for a geekfest that’s guaranteed to last until the wee hours of the morning at the very least.

    So if you’re going to be in the LA area that weekend, I’d really love to see you there. Feel free to sign up on the wiki and throw your name on the list at Upcoming.

  • Making Change

    Life’s been this wonderfully weird flurry of events (both expected and unexpected) for a little while now. Quite a few changes have been happening behind the scenes, but I don’t quite feel like sharing them right now. It just doesn’t seem like the right time or place to do so.

    So what’s the use of me posting then? Well, I just wanted to tell the people who care enough to read this site that I’m in kind of a transitionary period right now. And I don’t know where it’s going to take me, but I’m excited to find out. I guess I’ll just know when I get there…

  • I’m Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today

    I don’t even like first person shooters all that much — but when I swung by the office to drop off my weekly groceries, I ended up getting roped into a LAN game of Quake 3. Despite the fact that I totally suck at first person shooters, I have to admit that it was actually kind of fun.

    Why Quake 3? Well, it’s one of the only games that the Mac, Linux and Windows people in the office can all play without too much trouble. If it’s cross platform, who really cares if it’s 8 years old?

    I’ll probably stick with my DS Lite in the long run. Still, the occasional pick-up game might be nice to blow off some steam every now and then.

  • Love Will Tear Us Apart

    Despite having Love Will Tear Us Apart on pretty heavy rotation on my iPod/iTunes/CD player — as well as owning over a dozen versions and covers of it — I still find myself to be quite fond of it. So having the music video cued up and on call at YouTube won’t hurt, will it?

  • Un Chien Andalou

    And now for something completely different…
