Troutmouth Goes Down in Flames
Well, Troutmouth was more or less tricked into our first live show at a Halloween party of a friend’s, and I have to say my first experience performing for a crowd was an unprecedented failure. Let’s go over the events of that fateful night:
The guy that was throwing the party rented a hall, actually acquired [...]
The iPod Nano Nightmare
Wednesday was Bonnie’s birthday, and I figured that the only thing that could possibly make look her more trendy when she’s hanging out in coffee shops during her time off from her alternative journalism internship was an iPod. She has a TON of music (at least 90% legally acquired, too), but I didn’t quite have [...]
Read More..>>Ugh, no Way…
Just found this video (though I’m sure it’s been making the rounds online for a while now) of a kid tackling Ikaruga’s two-player mode by himself. Rigoddamndiculous.

The news is a couple days old, but Nintendo and Wayport have teamed up to configure about 6,000 McDonald’s locations for Nintendo’s WiFi service. I think it’s cool that that will expose a HUGE number of people to the DS, but I also don’t like Nintendo associating themselves with one of the most despicable empires [...]
Read More..>>Brutal Work Day
Well, “work” was pretty rough today. Between Pictochat and being taught how to play Rummy, I’m pretty exhausted.
Oh, by the way:
That threatening post-it was stuck on my monitor today when I was away from the cubicle. Was I supposed to be intimidated? Has LTS launched their shock and awe campaign?
“Wah?! How did they…! But I…! [...]
A New Hangout
There’s a reason I haven’t mentioned I’m in a band, and that’s because it’s lame to go around announcing that. Hell, who isn’t in a band? However, I’m so excited about our new jamming location, ranting about how cool the second story of my dad’s fort is wouldn’t make any sense without letting you in [...]
Read More..>>When Life Gives You Lemon Juice
I uploaded this several days ago, but forgot to post it. Following is a ~6 minute video of me and my friend Tim matching lemon juice shots. Basically, my dad brought home 3 liters of lemon juice, so we broke out the shot glasses. Though we could have tightened it up a LOT and made [...]
Read More..>>Adventures at Officemax
So I’m nearly halfway through my second week of training at my new boring data entry job. When I first started, I was a little intimidated because rumors were flying around that training was brutal, but if you can make it through the 3-week course, you’re set. The training classes also have a huge dropout [...]
Read More..>>EVP
Chuck and Tim were over tonight to watch White Noise. Awful movie by the way. Anyway, after Chuck left, Tim and I were pretty bored and decided to search around for some EVP recordings ourselves. I’ve heard EVP “specialists” on Coast to Coast AM several times in the past, but never put much stock in [...]
Read More..>>Nintendo DS Masthead
Decided that since I spent over 5 hours making that Pictochat GUI I should at least use it for something, so I made a Nintendo DS themed masthead for the site.
That’s nine of them now.
