Steak Night

It’s been a while since we’ve had an official “steak night”(nudge nudge, brian, poke poke) and I’ve been wanting to try this trick, so I broke down and cooked up to London Broil tonight. I can say without a doubt the “trick” works and the Broil was some of the best I’ve had.

Blade Runner

Missed seeing it in the theater, I guess I was too young at the time and I think it only ran for like a week, but it totally blew me away the first time I saw it on TV.

“For the new director’s cut, the special-effects footage was digitally scanned at 8,000 lines per frame, four times the resolution of most restorations, and then meticulously retouched. The results look almost 3-D”… from the NYTimes

Man I wish it was playing somewhere close this time around.

The future of music

If you haven’t seen one before this is a Monome

Marching Zeppelin

If you’re a true band geek you’ll watch part 1, 2 and 3.

Marching Radiohead

Being and old school band geek and Radiohead fan, this made my day and it almost works even.

New Deskbar Plugin

Since I’ve been stuck at home and can mostly only type one handed, I decided to work on my Deskbar plugins to try and keep myself busy and forget about the pain in my sholder and back. As a result, I put together a new Deskbar plugin called Wayd(What Are You Doing) that allows you to update multiple micro-blogs at once(twitter, jaiku, etc…). It currently supports Twitter and Jaiku but I hope to add Facebook and Pownce once they have an API available. If anyone knows of other micro-blog services I should include, please let me know in the comments. Since the Deskbar plugin API changed, you’ll need the 2.19+ version of Deskbar for this plugin to work.

Write more later, typing one handed.

Cottonmouth?

This big guy was in our backyard yesterday afternoon.

Possible Cottonmouth snake

Snake Head

Anyone confirm what he is?

Update:
Could be a Banded Water Snake or a Mud Snake.

Short update

Forgot to blog about it when I released it, but I put together a Twitter plugin for Deskbar. Also I released a new version of the Gajim plugin. You can download both them from my Deskbar plugin page.
