Ramblings - 6-14-08 (Don’t forget to call to win)

The big word of the week is “RAIN”. We got a lot of it. It pretty much slowed everything down to a crawl yesterday. The main Interstate was closed for only a few mile stretch, but in order to get everyone to their destination, they had to go on the only alternate route. And that was already crippled because of construction.

So driving up north last night went from a 1 hour trip to 3. Today is not better, for someone apparently caused a big accident on that only road. I think I’ll just fly in….

I’ve been playing with a band called “The Trailer Kings”. Pretty cool stuff - all straightforward cover music. We had fun at the Edge of the Dells last night and tonight it’s the Baja (If I can get to it). Will be lots o fun. I may need a place to crash tonight though….

Some favors came in and so I am doing a little better than I was a few days ago. Job situation still not panning out. Still I am doing well and have Geekazine to keep idol hands.

Talked to AccessoryGeeks.com and they will be helping out with my promotion. All you have to do is listen to my podcast, then call the hotline (608-205-4378) and comment on the show or any of the topics. Everyone that leaves a message will be entered.

I can’t believe what happened with Yahoo this week. It frustrates me that someone with that much power and money can just ____ (fill in the blank) it down the drain. Someone like that should be sent in the corner and all their money should be divided up and given back to us.

Seriously - if it wasn’t for all of us, Yahoo wouldn’t be anything. We should get our money back.

OK. Off that subject. I am looking for a new phone - what should I get? drop me a line, especially if you have a deal on a cool phone. And unless it’s free, I am not buying an iPhone. I DO have AT&T, but I just don’t really want an iPhone. There are better phones out there.

I really like Plurk. Yes, I really do. However, Plurk is too cumbersome to go through. I can’t see who commented on my plurks and I don’t know if someone commented on a plurk I commented on. I like the look of the page, but I would like to be able to choose the way I get the content. I would rather have a twhirl type application for Plurk anyway. I will still go up, but I really urge Plurk to look at the page and give some options.

For those of you who don’t know, I run a few other websites. One is called “WIBands” (www.wibands.com). It’s basically a forum with musicians talking music. Nothing big, but it’s something to keep life going. I updated some stuff, and plan to re-CSS the forum page. The last time I touched the CSS on that page was 2006 and it really needs an updated look. If you have any suggestions, or even want to help out, let me know.

Speaking of which, if you want to help out with any of Geekazine, please let me know. I am always looking for friends that will write, administer or whatever. If you bake a mean batch of cookies, well…. I love cookies. Enough said.

NEWay, that’s it for now. I am playing tonight and tomorrow which means the 5 min show will be later Sun night, and most likely I won’t be able to get to Vocalo again. We’ll see what happens.
