Ceasing the pimpage

Ok, I am done pimping Veronica Mars.\ But did you know it is on tonight at 9pm EST on UPN?

Geek Conference Network Woes

This is my third conference in March, and it’s the third one with serious wi-fi issues. What’s the deal? These are not quilting conferences. These are serious nerdfests, where the organizers are expecting lots of geeks with laptops sucking down bandwidth with abandon. If you don’t have that bandwidth, you will have a bunch of […]

MIX06 Reactions From Day One

I’m here in Vegas for Mix06. It all started with Bill Gates’ keynote in the morning, and it soon became clear that I was in a different world. I was in not in my world, I was in MicrosoftLand, where everyone has unlimited resources to build web products for everyone else and then build a […]

Veronica Mars explained!

Joe isn’t sure what Veronica Mars is about, which needs to be corrected ASAP! Since season 2 isn’t over yet, I will talk mostly about season 1.\ A quick description: Twin Peaks/noir/Buffy (without the monsters)/Alias (the spying, gadgets, and get-ups; not the physical ass-kicking).\ The show has a major season-long mystery: who killed Veronica’s best […]

Reasons to celebrate!

Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone. Be extra safe when traveling tonight! Kevin wore his green shirts on Wednesday and Thursday, thus he had none for today. Feel free to pinch him if you see him. (He said it was ok this morning, so I assume he meant it was ok for everyone. Just no pinching […]

Out of the mouths of babes…

Max just told me that “the dad on My Dad the Rockstar is a pain in the ass when it comes to camping.” I remember the first time I cussed in front of my mom. I was in jr high and I said, “how the hell am I supposed to know…” (talking about school stuff). […]

For those who care…

Kevin went to the doctor today to have his ankle looked at (he rolled it while in Austin) and his ankle is fine. YAY!

Dear Everyone At Work

Please stop sending me mail. I haven’t caught up from yesterday’s 330 to get to the 100 that have already come in since 8AM. Just stop. Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow.\ I would ask you to call, but since I just moved to a new desk, I don’t have one. So, just […]

TV Time

So who watched Veronica Mars last night? Who? Who?
