Sideways

Thursday, January 6th, 2005

After a day of working on Soularize venues and events, Spencer and I did that interview for the podcast, then we went and saw Sideways. It was a great movie. I laughed very hard at a few places in the movie, and there was one scene where I honestly didn’t know whether I should laugh [...]

Obviously this is not in my normal vein of posts… I just thought it was the kewlest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I have a huge complaint, though! Where’s the pattern for boxers? Seriously, I’ve got some old t-shirts that would make great boxers.

Soularize 2005 – March 9-11

Wednesday, January 5th, 2005

2004 was a strange year in many ways. For one, there was no Soularize. The gathering has been reworked again this year, after we nearly killed it in Boston (on purpose in October 2003), and I’m looking forward to this one a whole lot. For one, we’re hosting it right in my backyard (not literally) [...]

Relief Spending vs. Iraq War Spending

Wednesday, January 5th, 2005

On THEOOZE blog, as well as Shok’s blog and numerous others, an unbelievable stat about the United States relief money given to aid tsunami victims is equal to 42.27 hours of the Iraq war. 42.27 hours of war. Maybe we should pull out of Iraq for a week and really help the tsunami victims? Okay… [...]

Rebel Without a Cause

Tuesday, January 4th, 2005

Finally… As an actor originally hailing from Indiana, I’m a tad embarrassed to say I’ve never seen Rebel Without a Cause until this evening… It was a phenomenal movie. I highly recommend it. The bonus features on the DVD freaked me out, though. James Dean’s interview… ended with him telling the youth of his day [...]

Podcasting not just for iPod users

Monday, January 3rd, 2005

With any new term, you’ll find quite a bit of misunderstanding on actually what it is. Podcasting is a way of syndicating binary content using RSS with enclosures. Instead of text, podcasting syndicates files (audio, pictures, video… anything which can be saved as a binary file). One of the great things about syndicating audio content, [...]

Happy New Year!

Saturday, January 1st, 2005

No, I’m not on the internet posting just after midnight… I’m partying with friends from the theater I just performed in a play with in Anaheim Hills. I set this to go up just after midnight, PST. My thoughts on the new year consist mostly of hope and opportunity. 2004 pretty much sucked for me, [...]
