So, I’m trying to transition over to itunes (version 9) after being a hardcore winamp user since the late 90s.  Winamp’s keyboard shortcuts are the cat’s pajamas though, and I’m missing them tremendously.  Specifically, the shortcut to jump to a song.  Hit "J" and just start typing in a title or band and it dynamically [...]

Although there are famous people that play World of Warcraft, people that play World of Warcraft do not then become famous.  By famous, I mean known for things outside of World of Warcraft that do not include their raid in Azeroth.

I know the pieces fit cause I watched them fall away

Pardon the political post. United States of America.  My arse.  I am terrified about the Health Care Reform billed being passed this past Sunday.  I’m not terrified about the unknown long-term impacts or affects, or even the reconciliation package that is outstanding.  What I’m most scared about is that NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted for it.  There [...]

Pittsburgh is defying ordinary

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ slogan this season is "defy ordinary".  Might not be all that great of a sports team promotion, but this little video they put together is a pretty good ad for Pittsburgh life in general.  CMU, Andy Warhol, South Side Works, Consol Energy Center, and a bunch of other key landmarks are highlighted.

The list comes from CNN, but I went ahead and got the youtube links for each track. “She Blinded Me With Science,” Thomas Dolby “Dare to Be Stupid,” Weird Al Yankovic – Of course Weird all has to be there.  I’d actually put something like “All about the Pentiums” or “White & Nerdy” on the [...]

Hey, remember me?

It’s been a while since I posted a personal update.  Things in married life go well.  New job goes well.  Thinking about going back to school in the fall.  That might be the level of detail you get in the updates going forward…not really sure.  I don’t really want to write about my life with [...]

Hall’s Rules of Social Order #293
