EVDO is OK

Instead of paying for the hotel’s network connection, I decided to give my brand new EVDO card a shot. I was talking to one of AOL’s VP’s about my presentation and trying to find the time to write demos and she asked what I would do if I had a budget. Of course, I told […]

Highway Jobbery

Why is it, the more expensive the hotel, the more they rape you on everything? I’m staying at a \$300 a night place, and they want \$5.00 for a bottle of water, \$3.00 for a soda and \$10 for internet for twenty-four hours. Hotel Avante in Mountain View is \$155 a night and they give […]

TV Talk

According to Salon: NBC will also restructure its early prime-time programming to focus on cheaper, unscripted shows like reality series and game shows.\ Uggg. Really, more reality crap? It’s like we’re in the Dark Ages of TV. Yes, there are bright spots, but waaaay too many reality shows already. It sounds like NBC is throwing […]

Smiles Sheepishly

Soooooooooo, tonight’s Supernatural wasn’t quite up to the awesomeness that it had been exhibiting. Every show is allowed a down episode or two, right?

Hee. “It’s your grief […]

Channel Frederator Is The Bestest

You absolutely have to download this week’s Channel Frederator. Why? The first short is unreal, and the main character looks like the internet’s own Jon Morris!\ Channel Frederator is the show that turned me on to video podcasts. It’s chock-full of indy animation (uneven at times, but there are usually at least two gems per […]

Oh, Damn.

I wish I had seen it: Cardinals choke, cuz I am evil that way. Instead, I was in bed by 7:30 nursing a headache the size of Mt Rushmore.\ This interview with Kristen Bell (from Veronica Mars) cracks me up, mostly because of the things she’s not saying and the new clarity on the things […]

The Evils of document.write

As a developer who works on a site where users can paste in all manner of crappy code from all corners of the web, I’m here to beg. Please, for the love of all that is holy, it’s time to stop using document.write. Yes, I know that it’s being used in the header and footer […]
