I like a good burger. When I get a burger for free, I am all over that. That is, unless I am then turned into a Zombie. But I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soo…. uuuuhhhhh….. brainssssss…..

Anyway – I participated in many events at Blogworld. One that was really fun to do was called the Fatburger Challenge. I have never had a Fatburger, so I was really stoked on this.

1/2 lb of meat on a bun with lettuce, tomato and all the fixins. I felt like this is a challenge for me. Therefore I signed up. It’s like I was the 12th grader competing in the 2nd grade spelling bee – I had no doubt I could finish this meal and still have room for more.

Twelve of us sat at a table with all the social mediaites around. 10 men and 2 women, ready to sink our teeth into a juicy Fatburger. Some of the names included Ed Morita, John Ciampa from Bloggers School, and a few others in which I sadly did not get names on. Except for Maria.

There were four groups of 12 that took the challenge. Out of all the groups, we had 11 out of the 12 finish the burger. One of them, was Maria.

In this video, you will see the competition in a shorter fashion.

We also look in on another 12 challengers, including Rick Calvert of Blogworld – New Media Expo, Zane from Zaneology, the Snuggie Guy and Rob, one of the very own Blubrry employees.

It has been a long day. It all started yesterday when we began the process of moving a website to a different server so I could put up the new version of said site. All heck seemed to happen after that.

We’ll leave the water heater out of this story, let’s just say I have taken 3 cold showers in the last 3 days. YAY!

I have found I not only hit the limit on my website, I went WAYYYY past it. I had to remove 2/3rds of the podcasts just to get under quota. I am not sure what happened – but now I am on the hunt for a service to store the data. Once it finds a new home, I will make all adjustments. For now – Episodes 1-52 of the weekly podcast and the first 24 Quickcasts / 5 min show. are down.

So in momentus fashion, I offer this week’s Bitstrips to use part of an old favorite Edgar Allen Poe poem to create the scene and this week’s comic. Enjoy. (BTW – no Week in Tech History for the weekend due to the podcast space problem. Sorry).

Happy Halloween!!

Fakes. Throughout time we’ve had to deal with those who want to pass something off as an original. Sometimes we are not fooled. Other times we go years thinking that it’s the real thing until some new technology tells us different.
In the last week I’ve seen many fake photos of different items – most notably the Large GPS picture and Windows 7 screenshots. There is even a video out there that supposedly displays Windows 7 functionality. While impressive, it makes me wonder if someone is trying to pass these off to make a quick buck?
