Feeling Good

I had a nice evening. Driving home at 12:41am 50 degrees I had a Cover of Money blasting by Velvet Revolver I opened my sun roof and was just jamming out shaking my fist in the air with just pure joy. Not to often I get to feeling this great and just freeze my hand off.

Good Times. Good Times.

(What? Am I being to vague? Perhaps another blog post. Just thought would share this moment of joy before work tomorrow takes it away)

Suprise for all Podcast Subscribers

I posted a little clip from a show you might not ever hear. To enjoy this show you must subscribe to the podcast feed.

TristanPipo.com Podcast via iTunes

It's a bit of a late holiday thing. Happy New Year Everyone!

My 20th Birthday

I had to do some digging for this audio clip. I found it on a CD I had in a spindle called "Audio Greatness and Comedy of God" And it was of me on XM Radio the 90's channel for my 20th Birthday. The wonderful Girl 2.0 had me on her show on May 20th 2003 if math serves me correctly. Listening to this clip I noticed some things. I wasn't really into this I had no real ability I guess. But it was my birthday and those tend to depress me. I remember wanting an XM Radio Boombox and a Steak Dinner. Every birthday I always want a Big Fat 20oz+ Steak and one specific gift. But that never really ever seems to happen. My girlfriend at the time Andrea took me to Applebee's which as I recall I had to pay for. Then I had to go buy all of my present.

But my general tone in this is like I am really depressed. That female was sucking the life out of me. Reminds me of this quote from the movie Armageddon. Hmm perhaps that was mean. Oh well we broke up later that year.

But it's really interesting to hear me then all depressed not really excited about life. Compared to now. But XM Radio and running ClubXM.com and being part of the Satellite Radio Forum revolution was my only outlet my only real passion other then wanting to please my girlfriend at the time. But ever since I would say about Birthday #17 they have all sucked and I have little faith in anyone for my birthday. I make it an important note of mine to make sure everyone knows of everyone else's birthday. I call everyone on their birthday. Just on some small shred of hope they return the favor some day. Pay it forward as they say.

Anyways for your audio pleasure of hearing me many years ago compared to now.

Post #560 - Upcoming Events

Well I am working on the move to TristanPipo.com with a new host and so far things are running smoothly. I am working on the next Podcast which will be hosted with Mike and get that going hopefully have that before the end of the year.

I am working on the Year in Review Blog Post and the worst date ever.

Funny Story about dating I had two bad dates in less then a week. One I went all out for and the other was just kinda weird. But that will be a post which will take my current 10 page draft and extended it do probably something a lot longer.

Champagne will fall from the heavens and party and noisemakers will salute. But that's what has been going on. So much coding and getting everything prepared.

Hope everyone had a good holiday. I hope to have 4-5 more blog posts before the year is over. So much to do so little time.

*hugs to the world*

And as I like to say "Take it Easy and if it's easy Take it Twice"

Christmas Post is Done

It's 4am but it's done. I will be posting it when I wakeup tomorrow. To Tired to finish the encode. Write the shownotes and update all the feeds.

Till then it's done flaws and all. I forget how many takes I did of "Twas the Night Before... Fuck" as I have grown to call it. I didn't swear but we got it done. The Music is awesome. The voicemails are limited but got them all to mashup with the song and yeah.

(Edit: Okay I started the encode it is taking 5min 53Sec and it ranks in at 30min 18 seconds and at 27.8MB. I feel the bandwith bill coming and my tongue dropping right now.)

(Edit #2: My goodness I am tired)

Take 37...

I am on take 37 of trying to read the entire Twas the Night Before Christmas. I keep screwing up damn british words. Some interesting Results.

"Twas the Night Before.. Fla Fla Fucking Eh"
"Sprang from by Bed.. Ahh Fuck!"

I need some Egg Nog (+ Rum) lol

Site Maintenance

Just got an e-mail from my webhosting company.

Dear Tristan Pipo,

This notice is to inform you of a scheduled software upgrade for tonight at 1:00 a.m. EST (Friday, December 23); we will be upgrading MySQL to version 4.1 as per the request of our customers. The upgrade process has been fully tested to ensure that there will not be any complications or compatibility issues, and as an added precaution we will be performing a complete backup of all databases before proceeding with the upgrade.

The upgrade will take anywhere between 2 to 5 hours to complete, depending on the version of MySQL currently installed. During the time of the upgrade both MySQL and the Ensim control panel will be unavailable, although the Apache web server will continue to operate, and your web site will remain online.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation, and we hope that you will enjoy the new upgraded MySQL version.


Yours truly,

Joseph Buaron
Chief Executive Officer
Future Point Inc.

I wonder how much data traffic monitoring I will lose during the downtime. But this shouldn't effect anything I have running. The SQL Databases I have are for running the podcast feed. The test polling software I have running but haven't implemented. And the RSS Feeds I have incoming. So again no downtime for the visitors but my backup scheme will go hawire so some erros might popup.

Production

Alright Production has begun on Audio Christmas Card. You can still call in I can still squeeze you in. I got permission to play a song my grandpa wrote when he lived in Australia. Tried to clear it with the Australian version of the RIAA but I went to the source instead worked a lot faster.

I redid the intro about 20 times there are lots of recordings with "ahh shit.. "Crap damnit" I wish there was a more efficent way of recording the mistakes. I am suprised at how much music was sent to me. Lots to play.

I am off to finish my holiday shopping. So far the new headset is performing awesome. Happy Holidays!

On a Side Note I have been working on a Summary of last Friday. Working on either the title of "Date from Hell...Or Hot Choclate of Hell". My first draft is 6 pages.

Last Day to Call In for Holiday Post

I will be taking calls until 11:59:59pm PST tonight. Hoep to hear from everyone. Happy Holidays!

(Edit: Due to work I can take calls up until tomorrow night 9:59:59pm. Also to those who called in yesterday I was trying to fix the a problem with the system not picking up. I picked up the phone on accident when I had one plugged in to test the system. I think I scared the Junniper away. ;-) )

RSS Feeds

Some people have no clue what RSS is. So I am going to my best to explain them to everyone.

Amanda over at Rocketboom explains it pretty well with software.
Rocketboom November 11th 2005

She uses a Mac but all the software works on Mac and PC.

Currently blogger only supports the ATOM format but you can use sites like FeedBurner to conver them.

If you want to get really geeky on the differences between RSS 2.0 and ATOM 1.0 check out this article RSS and ATOM

Now your thinking why do I need this? Well I find it so useful to load up Bloglines and it shows what blogs have updated so I can decided if I want to take the time to go read them.


If you want my RSS Feeds here are the links.

ATOM: http://www.tristanpipo.com/blogger/atom.xml
RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TristansBlog
RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/siriusdudepodcast

Now the problem with feedburner is that there is a natural half an hour delay unless I go ping the Feeds myself. I can't track the ATOM file so I have no idea how many people use that but the feedburner one of my blog is displayed on the page. IF you want an update sent to you everytime I update you can sign up with your e-mail address on the right side of the page.

But with RSS I save have from having to dig and search through a websites updates and can just read the ones that I want. Click on it and loads that specific page. Saving me lots of time. But if you haven't caught onto the RSS craze be sure you do.

P.S. I have been on the real geek kick recently. =)

How to Save Christmas!

Janie Knows how to Save Christmas (2)

Again like I have said before. Buy a Mac ;-)

That is why I charge most people $60hr to fix there windows PC's because most people are ignorant enough to only buy Windows. The only limititations that I personally have to deal with with software not working are as follows.

1. Google Talk (Voice). Doesn't work but Google did release the SDK of how the software works and I expected in Adium Soon. I can voice chat over Google Talk with other Mac Users on iChat though. Till then Skype is still far better because it has multiperson audio conference.

2. Games - I am not so much of a Gamer anymore. But eh

3. Logitech Webcams - They say they work on Mac but there are only to a specific version of OS X. Most of the time 10.0 to 10.2.6 which does me no good running 10.4.3. Till then I wait till I can get an iSight.

But none of these really bother me in any way. But Janie knows what's up.

Save Christmas buy a Mac!

Boy do I have a story to tell you.

Man I wish I had the time to write this out right now. But me and Jon are going to go see King Kong.

It involves lots of drama, romance, horror, comedy, embarassment, WTF.

This will make one hell of a "Dude that sucks but so funny".

Anyways.

FollowUp to IE vs Firefox

Well looks like Microsoft is finally doing something right. They met with the Mozilla team and they agreed that the RSS Function should have the same graphic cross browser.

IE 7 Development Blog

I view this as good news. Microsoft finally doing some correct with IE but they seem to be stealing every feature from Firefox who stole it from Opera. But hey I guess those that hate Firefox (Why?) will just have to wait till late next year to even experience the greatness of RSS.

How to Blog.

When I think about my blog I amazed at how many ways I can connect my life to world to read and enjoy.

I can call in my thoughts. But I notice calling them in is a giant pain in the ass with the audioblogger system. You dial the # and then asks for your # which it can never understand correctly so I end up typing it in like 5-6 times. Then you have to type in your pin # and then post. But you can't just hang up the phone you have to press the "#" key and then 1 to post and then 2 end the call. It's to much work.

I can e-mail a blog and it will get posted. I can e-mail from my cell phone or any e-mail address. Though I have found that the tags do not work if I choose to do it that way.

I can write a blog using the Dashboard Widget. THough for some reason this being the easiest method I never use it.

I can go to Blogger.com and login and write a post which is how I do it 90% of the time.

I can snap a picture on my cell phone and share it to the blog. Though I do wish the blogger service would host the picture instead of it auto uploading to my personal web server.

I can record myself on my mic and upload it and podcast it out the world. Though I don't think many of my viewers subscribe to the podcast RSS Feed. I would use the iTunes Feed because it is update quicker.

But with all these methods to blog I try to use a nice variety of them all. I like being able to hop onto any computer and just write my thoughts down at any given time. I wish I had an easier way to record them over audio in the car. Been looking into digital voice recorders. Perhaps an iRiver.

But the fact about blogging is that I like to do it. I try to do it as frequently as possible there is lots of stuff I would like to publish but don't want to piss off/engrage/smite/anger some of the readers that do come along that know I have information but keep it confidential. But some of those are the better posts.

I am amazed at how much people crave to know dirt about someone else. People question me wanting that dirt. It would be so easy just to post it. Or develop a secret blog of dirt. But being so connected it wouldn't be hard just to find me again. So I have to moderate myself at times on my own site. Which is probably a good thing. But censorship is a bad thing.

I want more readers. I want more comments. I want more thoughts. I get so many hits that even I am amazed. People just coming on here and wanting to read my thoughts. Sometimes I want to just get all techy but a lot of people (females mostly) don't really care about that. I could talk about protocols and CISCO and Routing and Mac's till the cows come home and pigs fly. But who would really care?

Oh well. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy blogging and if you have ever wanted to start. Forget LiveJournal, Forget Xanga, Forget MySpace, Forget Moveable Type. Get a Blogger account. It takes less then 3 mins. Setup a name and just get your voice out there. Share what you are thinking. Most new blogs I read the first postings are like "Hey I started a blog" or "I was really scared to do this" it takes no skill at all to do this. Just being able to think. Perhaps a bit of typing skill.

Mine is a bit more complicated since I host the blog on my own personal server and don't use blogspot. But there are reasons for that. But anyways if you don't have a blog start one. If you have a blog make it known I would really enjoy reading it. I have BlogLines tracking about 50 blogs, 30 news sites, 2 podcasts, and about 14 Forums proves to be a lot of reading. But just interesting giving this publishing tool to everyone and seeing how people take it to the next level and just reading what people want to say.

Happy Holidays

The Joy of Ferry Riders

I am riding the Washington State Ferry right now and they have free wireless I compiled Ethereal using Fink on Mac OS X and did a quick packet grab. And ran a filter on what I had captured.

According to the results.

27 Unique IP Address's are using Internet Explorer 6.0
12 Unique IP Address's are using Firefox 1.0+
1 Unique IP Address is using Safari. ;-)

These results might all be accurate but just that it was kinda sad that people are still using Internet Explorer.

Time for a Rocketboom Link.

Testing the new Mic

I decided to test out my new microphone that came in the mail. By recording a demo of the christmas post I wanted to run if it ever happens. This runs at 1:23 and is 1.3MB. This isn't on the podcast feed just here as a test. Thought I would see how it went.

Holiday Greetings Demo

I feel like the sound quality is so much better with this Plantronics Headset over the crappy Logitech one I was using. But it worked for what I needed it to do. I used Garageband, MegaSeg to record this. And used iTunes to convert it from AIFF to MP3. There is artwork attached to the file for those that have iTunes or an application to view album art.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Twas the Night Before.. Copyright?

I have been having this idea inspired by something I am working on. I was thinking that a good idea for the Christmas Post would be to read the famous poem. "Twas the Night Before Christmas" but then I got to thinking who owns this poem. So I did some research on it.

It was first published in Troy, New York in a paper called the Sentinel by Anonymous on December 23, 1823 and later in the 1840's two authors claimed ownership of this piece. Clement Clarke Moore and Henry Livingston. Moore claimed it first but there are people on both sides of this debate.

So anyways does a piece of work this old hold any copyrights that I would have to seek permission to read? I understand all the music copyrights and fair use. But not really sure how this applies to works of literature.

But anyways any help is appreciated. Feedback on this idea would be better.

When was the last time I updated?

Has it been so long already? Have I written anything of value? What is going on?

Man kinda feel like I ditched the blog for a while. It was crazy. Well as you can see from the picture above I made a journey to one of my favorite stores BN. Got a few books got some learn on. Have this last week of classes before break. I saw Narnia last Friday.

Wanted to record my review of the movie. But in a short summary wait for the rental. Or Download it off the internet. The Director should have stayed with his past few films and stayed in the CG world. Because he has no skills directing real life actors and taking a classic book and making into a film. He tried to cram a huge book and story into 140mins of pure "lets copy Lord of the Rings but with less violent so Disney can smear their feces over their dying company into a movie" I would have killed for a pause button in the theater just so I could take a breather. Preston's girlfriend saw the film and asked me what I thought. I told her what I thought and all she had to say was "I liked it" no reason why she liked it. But I tend to judge movies a bit on the harsh side. But save your money go rent the BBC Movies of Narnia and you will have a better feeling then if you see the 2005 Disney Remake.

No real movies have impressed me this year. Star Wars Episode III I had lots of excitement to see but was let down on many levels. I am still a fan of Empire Strikes back. It was the middle act no real beginning no ending just story and it won me over on that level. Anyways.. The only movie that had me laughing out loud was the Longest Yard a remake of the old movie. This year was nothing original. Everything was based off a book or was a sequal or a remake. Unless we talk about documentary March of the Penguins. But that is a documentary and doesn't count. Though I am sure we can expect a sequel to this penguin movie. I am waiting for Titanic 2 when the Iceberg comes back to life and will terrorize the eastern seaboard with its onslaught of ice magic! I did enjoy Lord of War based on a True story. Weatherman was excellent I can't find what that is based off of.

What does 2006 have in store for us? Well hopefully Spaceballs 2 will come around. Will the Red Dwarf Movie ever come out? There will be another Harry Potter I will bet. Wait Simpsons the MOVIE! But again all sequels or based off books. Can anyone be creative anymore? Did every writer in Hollywood get clubbed and beaten and just let reality TV take over and we bow to the corporate masters? Will we get Reality Cinema? 2hrs of Survivor or American Idol filmed? Oh wait they tried that. From Justin to Kelly. What a flop that was.

I love movies but just can't love what has been coming out. Lost in Translation 2003 that was an original movie great movie. I love it. I didn't really buy any DVD's at all this year. Incredibles and Simpsons Seasons were about it. Movies just suck now but still I have hope and go to the theater and pay $8-9 to see commercials for 30mins then a remake of whatever.

What else happened over the weekend. I got my haircut been needing it for weeks. I went to a new place, new lady she really didn't have anything to say. Though getting my haircut I really have nothing to say either. Getting my head touched is a sensation that just kinda leaves me in a trance and I am putty. I lose any train of thought and Tara has discovered it's the best way to shut me up and have a laugh. Kinda sad I paid $16 for a haircut and tipped $5 for this service. For a total of $21.50 (Credit Card Fee). I hate cash I spend it to quickly. Rather just Check Card everything.

I got my new Microphone and I must say it's so much better then the old one. Though I did find a way to hook up both and use them both for recording. So get a co-host show done soon. Just run two copies of LineIn and have them send audio to Soundflower and use Audacity, Garageband, or QuickTime to Record the Soundflower and we are good as gold.

All the other college folk are back in town. Hopefully get to hang with them but everyone seems to be "busy" I wish I had an animated eyebrow raising in suspicion icon for blogger. I went from just believing everyone is busy to comparing what they call busy to what I call busy and just seem to think that my busy is far beyond their busy. I guess it boils down to time management or that I should take a hint that they really don't want to hang out. Time will tell. I am just getting tired of being walked over. But again curse of the nice guy. I need to learn to stand up and just say "Fuck You" then walk away. Instead of just eating up the spoonfuls of bullshit people serve.

The 20th Last Day to Call In.
(206) 973-7886

Speaking of this. Someone told me they are too busy to call in. I ran a time check on how long it takes to call in and leave a 20 second message.

I ran two tests. Calling Via Phone: Total Time for Finding Cell Phone. Dialing, Listening to Recorded Message. Recording Personal 20 Second Greeting. 1min 3seconds. Now thinking about this there are 1,440 mins in a day. Even me a being a busy guy can spare 1 min and 3 seconds to make a phone call people.

Calling Via Skype: Programming in #, Right clicking Leave Voicemail Total Time to Record Voicemail: 1min Exactly. Your mileage may vary.

So what are you waiting for Call IN Wish the World a Happy Holidays.

Barnes and Nobel

Well I bought this book and one other. I loved this Hitchhikers Guide because it was all Bible Style. Had the Gold Pages on the Side. I don't own a copy of that book but I find this book far better. =)

http://del.icio.us/TristanPipo

Well I have had a del.icio.us account for a while and decided to delete my old account of SiriusDude and just switch over to TristanPipo =). Kinda seeing a trend arn't we. But anyways del.icio.us is this place where I can take links that I like and add them to a page and people can just come check them out.

Another cool thing that this service offers is you can subsribe to other users del.icio.us acounts and see cool links that they find and you can then create the links. It's really easy and simple. IE has a bit more trouble but eh Get Firefox ;-)

I will be growing this new account extremly fast but it's a great system. So this post is brought to you by me Tristan Pipo the SGBB (Seattle Geek Blogging Buddy)

New Most Played Song - Mike Doughty

Well I heard this song on a not so great source that I will not mention. But anyways while I was listening to this song it just hit me. This is a really great track reminds me a lot of myself the music is just very chill and something you would listen to on your iPod while floating down the river of life just seeing where it takes you. Bobbing your head and just relaxing.

Requires iTunes to listen to this track. IF you want to own it 99¢ and taxes. Though Junniper gets to escape the taxes. I should go down there to buy a TV. Anyways check out the track I sent an e-mail to the artist since he is a bit of an Indie from what I can tell seeing if I can give him any podplay because I couldn't find him on the podsafe music network.

Happy Holidays! Call In!

Interview

I had my phone interview for the Radio Appreticeship program. It's a 6 month program where you work with a mentor at a radio station to get your foot in the door. From all these jobs I have been looking at for on air radio work. They all want "EXPERIENCE" which I have none of at the moment. I have this great little idea and this goal to get it done.

But the interview went really well. I was told I have the pipes and the passion to do this program. But the catch is money. I need to come up with the money to pay for this. I would prefer not to tack on another student loan which are already really high at the moment. But I would really want to do this program. My parents make to much money for me to get any grants (that I am aware of anyway. Fucking Bush) It's a 6 month training working at a radio station doing everything.

So right now I have one week to figure out how I will raise the money to do this program. I really do not want to do the monthly payment program that they offer since it is a bit steep for my current situation. But I really want to get out there. If all goes well I should be done with School in March if I can get into this final class that is always crowded I am told.

If you listen to the carcast you will see that I am up for this new job doing tech support for a company I will not mention that pays 3x what I am making now. But right now this current tight spot I am financially is just this barrier that I am hitting that I cannot climb over right now. So right now I am searching the internet for scholarships and free money but when you go to these websites I notice they are nothing but ads trying to get you to sign up for their other programs. I don't want that. I want $4k to do this program. I am willing to write essays, cluck like a chicken on a roof. This is just a difficult time right now. Have to figure out what to do.

Nothing in life is free right. You regret the opportunites you do not take. Any thoughts? Any Websites?

Carcast #1

Well I finished and edited a carcast in the car. Look for it in your iTunes Tomorrow and will post the audio on the blog for people to listen to sometime tomorrow afternoon.

It was done very quickly I learned a lot of things doing it.

*When I have a piece of paper in the car to work from I just blaze through it. So I talked a little faster then I would have liked.
*The music edited isn't as friendly as I would like with the volumes.
*My Headset is dying I will have my new one on December 12th =)
*Just got distracted a few times

But I produced the entire 19min show in 30mins while on the ferry from my car. So it's rough cut and awesome. Got some practice reading articles. Which I can already tell I need to work on. I got a preview of some podsafe music for the Holiday Cast in. I also got a little song from Matt with his CoHost Application I had to share. (Laugh)

But Enjoy Tomorrow my friends.

Carcast Do Over Pre Show

Not sure how my cell phone did with the audio quality on this going to get it replaced as soon as they recieve my other cell phone that is in two pieces ;-)

Tristan and Isolde (The Movie)

Tristan and Isolde Movie Trailer - Large

Well I have been waiting for this Trailer on iTunes so I can write this specific Blog post. Now Tristan and Isolde is the classic love story of a gentelman named Tristan who is injured in battle and takes a funeral boat and it washes up in Ireland and he meets the beautiful Isolde and Tristan and Isolde fall in love with each other but they don't know who they are. When they part Tristan enters a tournament to win the hand of Isolde but on behalf of his Uncle. As you can imagine young love will not stand for this and they have an affair with each other.

Now most people think oh this is where you got your name from. Nah my Mom tells me she got it from the book all creatures great and small which was based on two novels and was later made into a TV show that you can find on PBS on occasion.

But anyways they made a Tristan and Isolde movie starring James Franco if you are to lazy to click on the link he plays Harry in Spider Man and Sophia Myles. But the movie comes out on January 13th and normally this isn't the type of movie I would watch. But hey I have seen the Opera of Tristan and Isolde a few times I might as well check out the movie to see if it has Merit.

I can picture a new generation of babies being born with the name Tristan. Just like when Legends of the fall came out there were a whole slew of Tristan's everywhere. Women having babies and wishing they had Brad Pitt's so they named their son after the character in the movie.

I always like to think highly of my name and like the fact that it is really original. But I guess some things just tend to fall easily into our laps. But I will be seeing this movie for the soul purpose of it being Tristan and Isolde. Perhaps one day I will get ingured in the heat of battle and wash up in a boat on shore to find a beautiful women that is wanting to be with me. But as they say. Only in Hollywood.

The Holidays!

Well I thought I would get some holiday vibe going. Past couple days I have been in a bit of a rut. But due to some words from a friend took some advice and found that little niché and spark and not really sure what happened but it's back.

Anyways finding that most Christmas Music is considered illegal to download and me being a podcast addict. I bring you the XMas Podsafe Music Friendly Podcast.

xmas.podshow.com
For the people that have a podcast reader or iTunes the RSS Feed is feed://xmas.podshow.com/?feed=rss2

This music is totally legal so no worries about getting the RIAA up your arse. And it's some awesome stuff. The website has direct links to the music if you want to old school your downloads.

Happy Holidays Everyone. I hope you do all your shopping online and avoid the crowds. I got an Amazon.com Wishlist overthere on the right if you are feeling generous.

Chat I Had with Preston

Tristan and Preston Chat

Well this is a chat I had with Preston the other day. I had to edit some stuff out like parts that didn't really focus on what I wanted to share. The beginning part I took out was a debate about this girl I used to work with and her phone #. And took out a part about my dream girl. But everything else is all there. I edited SN's so Preston doesn't get all these IM's from girls wanting to drop there panties for him ;-).

The other issues will be talked about in a different day. But if you are to lazy to download the PDF pretty much everything will be in a future podcast.

Stay Tuned.

Can I have your Attention for a Moment?

Have you been hearing about this podcast thing I have been starting? Have you wanted to be a part of this? Have you thought "Hey Tristan We would make such a good team!"? Well this is your open invitation to try this.

I have a few cohosts lined up to do go on this crazy adventure but willing to take on a few now and then co hosts.

I created an application for you to fill out.

Podcast Co-Host Application

It's in Microsoft Word for those who cannot edit PDF's.

Waiting for answers on the CarCast working on the intro for this little shindig right now. Though finding royalty free sound effects is proving to be a challenge I was not expecting. =)

Looking forward to hearing your answers. =)

For Some Reason.... And a Plug..

Well I reoorded the CarCast and it stopped at 33mins. Everything after that was just lost so I am in the middle of this wonderful topic and it just stops for no reason. So I either have the option of just having the first half of the show and just using that or just scrapping the whole idea or just getting creative with the ending.

So I leave it up to the blog readers.

1. Scrap the Idea and just do it some other time.
2. Just use the first half and finish my thought in two seperate pieces.
3. Waste a lot of productivity trying to recreate the last 30 mins?

Now onto other things I plug the hell out of this wonderful woman from Portland, OR she runs her personal blog from her work from what I read of it. I have the exclusive voice call in from her you can hear in the 500th post Audio Show. And got a plug for being a "bad-ass computer nerd" because I didn't like her "*******" I thought they were just fine but can add a little unique touch with some color and a line. And any woman using some HTML is just an A+ in my book of coolness.

Junniper - Brrrrrrrr Blog Post

Look forward to hearing your input on the CarCast. I didn't get the chance to do any lounge singing. Maybe in a future post. lol

Cell Phone Blogging.

Well I planned to have the carcast up today. But with all the snow we got up here today I don't have any way to edit, upload or get that audio out there. So it will be an extra day now. But anyways no power so writing this blog from my cell phone e-mail account. =)
