Make Yourself

I’m out. I’m gone until Thursday, on a much needed get away with my wife.
So, while I’m gone, I thought I’d leave something interesting for you to do: You can go to the Liquid Radio Players website, and listen to the shows I’ve done. Funtimes.
The two shows I’ve done so far are “The Lust of Penelope” and “The Madness of the Horror”
They are done exactly like old timey radio shows, ala The Shadow, or The Greaseman, so you’ll have to settle in, and pay close attention…but I think you’ll enjoy it.
For those of you who haven’t noticed, Soapbox is back.
I’m supposed to be in McPaper tomorrow, be sure to check it out.
RFB will be down, because my computer will be off. Why not listen to thepAvedearth? You’ll be glad you did.
Or, you could go visit loren, and post lots of comments for him. He particularly likes jokes about monkeys. Tell him I sent you.
One last thing: Did you know that Adam Curry is posting stories about all our favorite bands, and Michael Jackson? It’s true. Adam Curry was on eMpTyVee from 1987-1991, or something like that, and he’s sharing stories about the bands he got to interview or hang with. My favorite so far is the story of what a freak Jacko was. Duh.
I keep asking him to post stories about Van Halen. You should ask him to post stories about Van Halen. You should call your most estranged relative, and ask them to bug Adam to post stories about Van Halen. That’s the power of the internet to unite, and bring us more stories about Van Halen.
Play nice while I’m gone, and stay the hell off the couch.

How To Disappear Completely

When’s the last time you looked at your bookmark file? I mean, really looked at it, and realized that most of your bookmarks have gone unused for months?
I did that this morning. Holy crap. I had close to 40 bookmarks that I couldn’t even remember bookmarking. So, after cleaning them up, I got to thinking…I’m getting bored with my regular sites. Which is good, because I’m reading more books, seeing more of my family and seeing more sunlight.
But I had this idea: Post one link that you like, that isn’t already on this site, that hasn’t been posted by someone else. Maybe it will give all of us someplace new to look at. I’ll send the coolest one to Fark, where it won’t get posted.
I’m going out of town tomorrow until Friday, so there will be no updates to the site, and the RFB (which is up right now, btw) will be down, as well. May I suggest thepAvedearth as an alternative listen.
I’m gonna be in USAToday tomorrow or Wednesday, in the e-briefing column. Cool!
If you wanna read the EFF’s analysis of the USAPATRIOT act, it’s here. Scary.
Did you watch The Simpsons last night, after the game? I’ve never seen that one before. Brilliant!

Pac Man Fever

Pac Man Fever

So there’s not too much to write about…and I was getting tired of the Baseball post sitting at the top, so…here’s something for everyone to do today: play those old 80s arcade games with this java emulator. Thank you to Fark for the link.
Of course, if you find yourself waxing nostalgic for Journey and waffle cones, while you play Tempest, or Berzerk, you can tune in to RFB, which is broadcasting an 80s explosion, right now.
If you find that you need even MORE classic games, I suggest picking up a copy of MAME, and only downloading the ROMs for games you own. *ahem*
I saw the Episode II trailer today. I am not optimistic. Lord of the Rings, however, looks amazing.
One final note to parents: if your child is too young to not scream and cry the whole movie, and you need to entertain it by making baby noises for the entire film, your baby is proably not old enough for the movies, and should probably stay at home.
Thank you.

There is no crying in baseball!

There is no crying in baseball!

I’ve just realized why Kim has blown 2 games.
He secretly wants to come and play for the Dodgers, and get a 20 million dollar contract.
Mr. Boras? Your phone is ringing…
