fallen off the nose hair
fallen off the nose hair
i have done a bad job of managing my digital affairs lately.
been too busy to sit down to finish up my tax amend, clean up all the music that has exploded all over my desktop, the hundreds of emails that have no business being in any inbox, to put some new action on the phone to replace the ratatat that has been on there for damn near two months now.
today much got done.
i was thinking about how, in the middle of a snowstorm in late march, i was able to finish off billz, taxes, lists, calendaring, photo organization, watch movies, chat with people, look up addresses, etc.
its a brave new world. i guess it always has been, im just easily amused.
anyhow, new pictures are here:

new videos on qik are here:
http://qik.com/samboha
to be honest i had given up on qik a while ago. it was the first app i installed after jailbreaking last year in september, but it quickly lost its luster because the site was so terrible and lagged so badly. my interest was renewed when scott started using it a couple months ago and now you get to see the snow that happened to tulsa as a result!
im hungry so im going to make a cheese sandwich and then do some more “housekeeping” and then go to sleep. while the actual description of this fine and snowy saturday probably doesnt strike you as fantastic as “im going to see prince!” i would ask that you recognize that it has been an EXCELLENT weekend and i am having a splendid time leisurely taking care of business.

Three vampires walk into a bar and sit down at a table. The waitress comes over and asks the first vampire what he would like. The first vampire responds, “I vould like some blood.” The waitress turns to the second vampire and asks what he would like. The vampire responds, “I vould like some blood.” The waitress turns to the third vampire and asks what he would like. The vampire responds, “I vould like some plasma.” The waitress looks up and says, “Let me see if I have this order correct. You want two bloods and a blood light?”

speaking of flickr, if you are like me and want a local copy of your pics so that you can show them to people really fast, but dont want to maintain two sets of photos, you should check out flickrbackup. its finally a usable prog imho.
yasmin is telling me about her feelings about the pictures i posted. and now im posting her impressions to this post that announces the pictures to you.
“its not a ureter thingy”
“stop posting this”
“i had a good day”
“why do your hands look like skeletons”
“that picture was gross”
“this external drive thing is really annoying”

novel emotion and its effect on your presentation.
novel emotion and its effect on your presentation.
i was thinking about something cynthia said and my subsequent question regarding it yesterday. basically it concerned adopting other peoples notions or proclivities. but my interest in it was from i suppose a self-discovered quality in myself, where i announce very decided actions i plan to take in public forums. and i realize that sometimes the announcement is more important than my truthfulness regarding the actual subject matter. what im driving at is this. is it cool lately to announce the adoption of certain motifs? and if so, does it mean we are all cannibalizing each others desires and momentums for the sake of a gumdrop of time in the limelight of coolness? is that why everyone is so excessively sarcastic all the time? please bear in mind, all of you who never know how to do anything but antagonize. this is just mental masturbation here. i dont know if this is true for anyone but me, and im not making generalizations. so if you are defensive maybe you are recognizing something about yourself. go do some yoga or drink some bubble tea and calm down. i simply saw this quality in myself and thought, wtf. this might be occurring on a constant basis, and if it is, one adopted trait in tulsa or austin or houston could so easily propagate that you might bump into your own unique idiosyncrasy or quirk in a random city because of the kevin bacon game. i think that is a pretty awesome effect. i think the fact, though, that it appears that so many people say things without any sincerity anymore, should be far more worrisome than whether obama can use his blackberry. additionally, im quite positive that only four people read this blog, so my chances of bumping into me are slim to none. if i DO bump into me though, it will be the most meta thing to ever happen to me now that i have blogged about it. my own personal ubik.

mediamonkey and the monkey on your face
mediamonkey and the monkey on your face
if you are like me, then i dont want to meet you. cross the streams, protonic reversal, you know the shiz. but if you are like me, you dont have a mac. you might have an iphone, but you dont have a mac. lets take this a step further.
if you have an iphone, and have a pc, then you have itunes.
itunes on a pc. itunes on a quad core pc. itunes on any pc.
sucks. itunes has gotten so bad that i get into a bad mood when i launch it. i get mean. i get angry. im not someone you want to fuck with when i have itunes open.
yesterday, the clouds parted. no, not the kind of parting where you think “holy fucking shit the clouds just parted and i had a revelation.” more like “hey lookie there some clouds are parting!”
for it to be the former, the foobar plugin foo_dop would have to work perfectly with my iphone. it does not. yet. however, the latter has been achieved with mediamonkey.
i know i know. mediamonkey is uglier than monkey turdz. it used to be anyhow. now it is passable with some mediocre skinning.
still, it is far superior to itunes for managing music, tagging music, and syncing to the iphone. oh and not generally sucking huge piles of memory and dinosaur shit.
so now itunes has been relegated to firmware updater, iphone backup, and background suckass. i can use my iphone with ease and transfer music with ease.
a lot of other stuff in my life is going on. its all good. saw paul rusasabagina speak at TU thanks to margarets headsup. still love the life out of the ratatat remixes album. still love mitch hedberg. playing games = awesome. taking walks at night : awesome. gaming with dongle –> awesome. cooking, delicious. the rigs are informative. the cat is dapper. the pants i wear are all too baggy. the face is devastatingly 5′oclock shadow at all hours. the pile of shit on my desk at home is getting taller and taller even after i finish everything on it. the pile of shit on my desk at work disperses then gets moved to my whiteboard.
here are some videos i took on my phone that i havent rotated yet. if your life is good why not quit checking faceshitbook all the time and call me up and chat with me? fuck the internet. <3 internetz.
