  • Love Is A Tiger Pit

    Going and seeing MC Chris last night was a really good idea. He did as much stand up as he did rapping, but the audience didn’t seem to mind as everyone was in stitches all night.

    What’s more, I’m very happy to have been introduced to the musical stylings of SNMNMNM last night, who sort of defy description. I guess you could call them emo, indie or pop punk, but that’d really be selling them short. Go see them live. Seriously.

    Thanks to Soren and Kathryn for convincing me to drag myself out to Hollywood for the show.

  • Looking Back

    Two years ago today I lost one of my best friends to a motorcycle accident.

    I still miss you, B. And with everything that’s been going on lately, I really wish you were still around. You were my most sympathetic ear and one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known.

    I have a feeling that I’m not going to be very pleasant to be around today.

    Duane: You know what they say about love and war.
    Tim: Yeah. One involves a lot of physical and psycological pain and the other one’s war.

    *sigh* Oh Spaced, how I adore thee.

  • Dear Dave,

    Do tell me that the Macintosh version of the OPML editor you’re showing off on your site is a very early beta. Because honestly, it could use a bit of polish on the UI.

    And by a bit, I mean a lot.

    Yours truly,
    Jason

  • Bit Rot – 10.12.05

    + Ooooh, Termite looks like it’s going to be a pretty sweet open source feed reader.

    + The fact that there’s an honest to goodness Serenity Role Playing Game makes me happy. It’s almost enough to make me want to break out my box o’ dice.

    + I can’t think of anything less punk than a weather forecast button set. But for some reason, I still want it.

    + Enablr might actually help me get a thank you note out to my grandparents this Christmas. I need to add a reminder in Backpack so I don’t forget though…

  • Dear Capital One,

    Thanks for sending me that really nifty Platinum card with the modestly hefty limit and the decent APR. That was really nice of you.

    But why do you have to make it so hard to do a balance transfer between my old Capial One card and my new one? Is it really necessary for me to write a check from you to you? Why can’t I call you or go online and get something like that taken care of?

    And why in god’s name can’t I attach more than one card to my online account? Is it really necessary for me to have a separate account for each card? Wasn’t the internet supposed to make shit like managing one’s finances easy?

    I keep running into walls where I’m expecting doors and it’s getting a bit frustrating. Maybe you should spend less of my APR on David Spade not being funny and more of it on improving your customer experience. A little would go a long way.

    Thanks for your time,
    Jason
