Jump in the Trance Stream

Like trance? Check out ‘Tag’s Trance Trip’ in the Audion ‘Stream Guide’ window. This is the first time I’ve had the problem where I couldn’t turn my volume up loud enough.

And, for you PC fuckers out there, you can point your browser to TagsTrance.com to get the stream.

To Kill Time, Visit Alternate.org

This class I am taking is absolutely ridiculous. I figured I’d bolster my slouching GPA with a web design class called “Interactive Media Design.” They really should have called it “Rudimentary Web Design.” I’ve been sitting in this class for three weeks and we are only as far the most basic link tags. This is not a University level class, this is the kind of class that middle aged mothers take at the local community college. It’s almost funny because half of the class is teaching the professor(I use the term lightly) and at the same time it’s quite sad.

I’ve been chronologically reviewing all the past posts on erasing.org. Which is a good way to spend time if you have a heavy heart or a high speed internet connection and a lot of time to kill.

Hrm. Well it was (not) fun while it lasted.

At 10:53PM on Monday, January 22: I received an email from the billing department of Hostrocket.com informing me that the BlogVoices.com account was in violation of the Hostrocket Terms of Service. Regardless of whether or not I agree with the reasoning, the decision has been made.

Hostrocket was to be the third and final attempt to host the BlogVoices service and I do not intend to deviate from my resolution. BlogVoices.com will be closing indefinitely.

At least the source code is going to be released… so we can host our own version of it, which is what this guy should have done to begin with.

Sneak Peek

In order to build up some excitement around the new Alternate design, I worked up a little desktop for all you’s out there who might want one. It’s made for 1280×1024, so it’s big, but it’ll resize nicely, I believe.

Some people…

What is it with these two jerks I work with? They’ve both historically been anti-Mac, and now anti-me as well. I sent out an email after finishing the company-themed Audion faceplate, citing Windows’ inefficiencies as being reason one wasn’t developed for them… and both these guys got started on some sort of major rip-on-Kevin campaign. I guess some people just need an excuse.

Star Wars in ASCII

I found this link to an ASCII (text) version of Star Wars. Thats right some crazy motherfuckers sat around and “drew/typed” the entire movie out of text. Check it out now.


Some people have *WAY* too much time on their hands, but then again I will probably sit around and watch it. :>

One down, three to go!

My wish is happening…

James Newsted, bassist of Metallica has called it quits after fourteen years with the band.

His retirement from Metallica is said to be due to private and personal reasons and the physical damage he has incurred from the
years of playing the music he loves.

I bet that millionaire-dollar rock and roll lifestyle is a bit much. Or could it be fourteen, grueling years with mutant-boy, Lars.

Dismantle Metallica! One down, three to go!

CNN Jumps on the G4 PowerBooks Bandwagon

We intend to accelerate our plans to introduce compact hi-tech newsgathering gear. Look for the quick introduction of small, high-quality DV cameras and laptop editing equipment (a Mac laptop), enabling us to deploy smaller reporting teams one or two people at times when it makes sense. Larger gear will be with us for some time to come and will be used as needed. But the days of routinely dispatching three- and four-person reporting teams with cases of bulky equipment are approaching an end. As we introduce this new gear, correspondents would do well to learn how to shoot and edit (even if called upon only occasionally to utilize those skills), and smart shooters and editors will learn how to write and track. While this is not a one-size-fits-all strategy and CNN will always value exceptional ability, the more multi-talented a newsgatherer, the more opportunity the News Group will provide that person.
