Hayden Is A Lesiban?
Mon, 12 May 2008 17:51:49 PDT
So someone gave me what they thought was some bad news earlier today…. Hayden Panettiere is a lesbian! Or at least it seems she wants to be. Seems there some rumors about floating around about her digging chicks…. The SUN UK reports Hayden said: “That’s fine with me. If I’m going to be linked with someone, I could do an affair with ANGELINA JOLIE, JESSICA ALBA or CHARLIZE THERON. And KATE BECKINSALE is gorgeous. There are so many beautiful girls.” I surprised my friend when I told her that

Not to be overlooked, however, are Blow Wind Blow, Mess Around, and Stack-A-Lee. THere is so much good noodling here. Man, I am so in the mood for some crayfish right now!

Some UGLY Weather
Mon, 12 May 2008 17:56:17 PDT
Man we had some pretty bad weather come through the area Sunday morning. When I went to bed Saturday night I noticed that we were under a Tornado watch but the skies were pretty clear and it certainly wasn't raining. We signed for the Weather Channel's call alert or something like that. Basically when threatening weather is coming your way the bald dude from the weather channel calls to let you know you might be fucked. At least his recording does, but I like to think they are making him get o
Life in the fast lane

Hoo boy, I’m tired. It’s been a loooooong couple of weeks. It’s life in the fast-lane at work, and we’re all busy busy busy trying to get everything ready for our next tradeshow, which starts on Sunday. Yours truly flies out to Anaheim on Thursday to join those who will already be out there working on setup. But there’s little time for rest between now and then - there are press kits to create, presentations to tweak, and much, much more. Actually, “life in the fast lane” is the perfect way to

Western Digital Portable Hard Drive
Mon, 12 May 2008 17:56:46 PDT
I love having extra storage for all of my computer files! I own several flash drives ranging in size from 256MB to 2GB and two external hard drives (80GB and 160GB), but am still not satisfied. What can I say? I’m an electronic file pack rat and would much rather save all of my videos, MP3s, photos, e-books, PowerPoint presentations, and assorted documents than delete them — only to wish I still had them later. That’s why I’m VERY interested in purchasing this Western Digital 250GB portab

What do you think are/should be the rules of Twitter journalism? A few folks have been using Twitter as a kind of live-blogging mechanism, so folks following a Twitter feed can read what a reporter has to say about an event or news scene as he/she types it in a handheld device. That can be perfectly valid, but it’s important -- as with any medium -- to consider the audience, and how they’re likely consuming what’s being provided. A lot of the Twittering I’ve seen reads as if you have to be a
