Hey y’all. The survey that you so kindly nominated the crap out of is now available for teh v0t1ng. Voting is your second most important duty as an American and I expect you to take it seriously. Go vote now.
John wanted some analytics graphs so I thought I’d give them to him. Below are visits over four months for three sites I am invovled in: RVABlogs, WotBN, and Haduken.com
Richmond Magazine‘s Best & Worst list never fails to disappoint the crap out of me — and it’s not just because I didn’t win Best Blog this year. When Maggiano’s wins Best Italian Restaurant we have a problem (unless you are my crazy wife). Plus, I want to know the juicy dirt on the worst [...]
My friend James the Giant gave me the recipe for bacon that “tastes just like candy, man.” I thought I would share. Put the bacon in a baking dish (originally I typed this as a bacon dish, mmmm). Cover with fresh ground pepper Cover with brown sugar Bake (in the oven) until done, probably something [...]
I bought an Xbox360. I will tell you two things: The Bioshock demo is fantastic I bought Settlers of Catan.
Last night on the way back from the Nats v. Phillies game I saw (twice) green lightning. I mean the entire sky lit up green. I’ve never seen anything like it before. But no one believes me — even though everyone else in the car saw it too. Did anyone else see any green lightning?
My company, PharrOut, just bought a new license for Adobe Creative Suite 3. It costs 1100$. Eleven. Hundred. Dollars I hate you Adobe. I hate you with all of my heart.
I think that I just caught a Google Street View car in action. I got behind it at Patterson and Libbie and followed it down Patterson into the city, until it turned left at Thompson. You can’t make it out in these poor camera phone pics, but the plates were from Cali. Keep an eye [...]
I certainly do. Take the time to stop by WotBN’s online Carytown charette. It’s already got a good discussion going about closing Cary St. to vehicular traffic on Saturdays. Stop by and let your voice be heard.
This weekend, we went to go see BODIES: The Exhibition. It was creepy and interesting. But mostly, it was creepy. Maybe you’ve heard of it. It’s the one where they take actual dead humans, apply a mysterious technique called “polymer preservation” (which, from what I can tell and imagine, is something like pumping the corpse [...]
Check out this sweet score I got off Craigslist yesterday: Not only did I find it using WotBN’s new importation of Craigslist, but it was free! Huzzah! Also, in a strange turn of events, the lady knew me and my wife from RVABlogs. Small world up in here.
Just as a general FYI for anyone following my life, here is a short list of things that I have done in the past three or four months: Gone into my crawlspace that is filled with spider crickets and other terrible things. Built a fence which included using a gas powered posthole digger. Re-roofed part [...]
Wondering if what you’re about to say/write is funny? Here’s a good rule of thumb: if it is a saying, a word, or device that was funny three to five years ago, there is an 80% chance that it is not funny now. This can become confusing, because things that were funny five to ten [...]
About a year ago America suddenly became interested in wilderness survival. It seems every learning-esque channel has its own survival show: I Shouldn’t be Alive, Survivorman, and Man vs. Wild. Both Survivorman (Les Stroud) and Man vs. Wild (Bear Grylls) journey into some foreboding wilderness and attempt to survive. Let me just say this: don’t [...]
