Snark Fu!
Self Portrait #30, originally uploaded by blogkitten. Well, it’s done. My new podcast, Snark Fu is now live. Listen if you were a fan of my old show Tech Snark! * * * * * I was messing around with Photo Booth and took that goofy picture above.
Backspacer
Why can’t Pearl Jam come to MN again? I’ll take back all the snark I said about them opening for Tom Petty and how awful it was! Sadly, the closest they’re getting to this tour is Chicago. Bastards. Gotta wait for Backspacer to be released on 9/20. Hopefully that’ll tide me over. I know it [...]
Never Use Garageband. Ever.
Garageband, originally uploaded by tzangms. Episode 1 of my new podcast, Snark Fu, should have been released yesterday, but there were a large number of problems due to having an entirely new setup to record podcasts from the last time I did a show and I made the fatal mistake of using Garageband to record [...]
What Tornado?
Tornado Super Cell, originally uploaded by brandonj74. Apparently there was a tornado in downtown Minneapolis this afternoon. Funny, I didn’t hear a warning. The tornado sirens were going off downtown, but again, no one in our building sounded any warning that there was some shit going down 7 blocks away. Why do we have the [...]
And Now For Something Completely Different.
Roxy and the Kitty Tree, originally uploaded by blogkitten. Here’s a video I took of Roxy the day we got the kitty tree back in mid-June. Naturally, she was the first one on it. * * * * * The beauty of a blog is that I can vent when needed and share goofy things [...]
Who Needs Friends Like This?
I’m seriously beginning to wonder about “friends” that are messing with my happiness, family and financial situation. Keep it up, and you’re out of my life.
My Kingdom For A Pillow!
Chester likes video games. I love that cat, but last night he was being such an asshole. I don’t know what he ate to make him act so damn naughty all night. I didn’t sleep at all from all the knocking things off of dressers and his need to stomp/snuggle all over me all night. [...]
Websense: Lazy Filtering
It annoys me to no end when companies turn to 3rd party providers to filter access to websites on the internet. Yes, I can see why going to a site of German fetish porn1 while at the office is a bad thing. I also realize the internet moves way too quickly for a company to [...]
Update on Podcasting
My nagging desire to podcast again has built up a head of steam. What I have decided is to do something separate from the blog, which is better in all respects really. I don’t think I could talk on an audio or video podcast about personal stuff. What I am going to do is something [...]
