Jokes for Nerds!

Exploits of a Mom

Loves it! xkcd is one of my favorite web comics.

Now back to catching up on my TV downloads. Finished Season 2 of Rome, nearly caught up with The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and Kitchen Nightmares.

Also tapered my earlobes back out to where they were a while back. I’ll have to take them out or wear smaller jewelry in client-facing professional situations, but I’ve missed the larger jewelry.

I’m trying to think of a good domain name for a great site idea I’m working on with some friends. This is challenging nowadays. I remember when I bought ryptide.com ages ago, I paid a great deal more than one does nowadays, but I could basically have my pick of anything. Had I been a wiser man, I would have pounced on several more and sold them at a premium later.

I think I’ll sleep soon.

Go CAPS! (And Cute Video of The Day)

The weekend was nice and relaxing, and I got to watch my Capitals win three in a row! Undefeated baby! This hasn’t happened in a long time to start the season. Before the lockout, actually. The team is playing well, looking like they have some chemistry, and playing with some tenacity and grit. Loving it so far. If this keeps up, it will be an awesome season. I don’t have high hopes for going far into the playoffs, but I think the Caps will be in the running up to at least that point.

If this doesn’t make you smile, then you are dead inside.

Of Body Armor, Busted Laptops, Beer & Music

This would be great in a motorcycle jacket, jeans and gloves.

Dropped my MacBook Pro off at the Genius Bar to have the optical drive replaced. Looks like the laser for burning CDs crapped out. Burns DVDs just fine, and reads everything, but no CD burning. I’m under warranty so that’s no big deal. Just annoying. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick it up on my way home tonight, but if not I can just get it tomorrow.

Was going to be working at my cater waiter job tomorrow night, but the event was canceled. Now I’m free! Wish I’d known that when people were buying tickets to the Capitals home opener. Looks like I’ll watch it on television instead. Not nearly as cool, but much much cheaper. There’ll be other games. A six pack from a liquor store in Baltimore is cheaper than a single beer at Verizon Center, so I’m sure I’ll get over not being there, even though I haven’t missed a home opener in a few years.

I recorded my set on Wednesday night at Beyond, and posted that over at ryptidemusic.com. Check it out!

Now back to work. Got some stuff I need to finish today. Then begins the three day weekend!

New Download: Live DJ Set from Beyond 10/03/2007

Hello again, folks!

I’ve rendered to audio my set at Beyond on 10/03/2007 and made it available for download here. Ableton Live is really handy that way. Instead of hauling around some sort of recording device, or having the laptop have to actually record audio as I’m playing, I can have it record my key presses, knob twists and fader movements and render the whole set out as audio. Makes it easy to tear down when you need to clear a small DJ booth, and makes your laptop less likely to crash and burn while recording your audio as wav directly onto the disc.

Come see me this Wednesday!

As I just mentioned over on my music-only/promo blog, I’m playing at Beyond in Dupont this Wednesday night at 8.

For those following me on Twitter or subbed to both website feeds, I apologize for the double notification. I’m working on a good way to prevent that. In the mean time, you’ll usually get an update here if there is something important over there.
