The old bee man plans to kill us..

IQ9 was smooth with the ladies... We should never forget that... Here is a reminder.

Whaa? TVOD

Ok so I spend most of my life working second shift while TV shows come and go... and I am content watching the occasional Mythbusters. Life is good.
Until I accidentally catch an episode of 24 a few years ago.... I get hooked...watch the whole season, get all fired up and watch the one after that... and then the season before last is done and I am all glad that jack saves the day again and all but it seems kinda outrageous so I skip last season... In the meantime I get hooked on the new Battlestar Galactica show... Now I don't wanna hear all the "I can't believe starbuck is a chick" and blah blah. It is one of the best TV shows ever made period. The old show... well check it out sometime it is a cheesy kids show... I ages about as well as Knight Rider. Hmm where was I ?
Oh yea so anyway I get hooked on one show and my wonderful, beautiful wife hears good things about this show Lost this past january and so we get a few episodes.....wham I am hooked! We sometimes watch three episodes at a time life is good ...
Then we run out of episodes and have to wait a whole week to see the next one...too much time to wait .... I start listening to Jay and Jacks lost podcast just to get a fix... Thats two show... well three there are two podcasts a week life is good but a little busy with the show and all the podcasts.
Last night I caught the season ender.... Blammo the shineola hits the fan and the whole show explodes into a Technicolor "What the...?"
Anyhow, the show is not back on till january... I got a long wait ahead.... thank goodness Jay and Jack are here for me...
What is up with Wickmund's hand.... or is it Marvin Candle's

Firefox 3.0 = Minefield

Check it out here. Still love the Camino, but I really enjoy the icon.

BK...come on dude

Would it kill ya to put something up on your blog? I mean I don't even know what happened with the kitten names... Maybe you aren't even reading this... If anyone else is reading this just tell em I would like to see an update...Please...there I said it.

it is about time....

When I was a wee lad of about six or seven I loved a show called Space 1999. I remember being at the tiny Central Park grocery store by my parents house and begging my Mom to purchase me squirt gun shaped like one of the "Stun Gun" weapons from the show. Well I got it and then it was inoperable and leaking within hours and broken within days. I totally loved that toy and looked for years for one like it on ebay and such and I never saw another one like it. Until today, Here. Apparently according to the page the gun was grey but"A rare red-coloured version was also available". Wow that is the closest I ever came to having a real collectors item.

Gone in a flash

Ok it is rant time... I just spent 3 minutes... clicking on the close window button tring to regain control of my browser...Why? Because I am on an older G3 iBook with 348 MB of ram and puny little 8 MG ATI rage graphics engine thingy? Nope I can do lots of stuff online with this lil ole thing.... Except anything that has Flash involved. I am not asking for miracles here... I just figured out half the internet is flash and it frustrates me to no end to try to load a page where someone goes crazy with it and starts playing with the beachball that comes free with OS X. Most pages are fine, I can even watch Youtube videos without too much trouble if I use Safari.... but to do a whole page with all kinds of different stuff going on kills me... well I wish it would just crash my browser..but all it does is make me click 10 times trying to close the window and get on with it. Then when it finally does close my computer continues to click away... this becomes almost comical as it may click another button on another wbpage below it and open 9 plus pages of the page I just closed... dreadful.... dreadful... I may have to try out the fiesty fawn.
...or maybe practice going upstairs and using the Big Mac...

No MMORPG for you....

There was speculation about Blizzard's new game.... Thank goodness they are keeping it RTS. I wasted many hours playing Starcraft. It is funny how, even though I won't buy it or play it, I care about it enough to spend a few moments putting this thing up about it. Blizzard is just that good.... I think that is some crazy brand loyalty.

Your FAQ is busted..

I really never got the GEOS copy to work on my C64. Big surprise there. Well it did work and I messed about with GeoPaint.... Mmmmm dot matrix.... I think it did not load my copied games from Tim VH so I did not use it... So I am looking around checking out some information about it and I find a FAQ.
Cool except most of the links are dead. this sucks.... I think I may go outside.

Games,Cadillacs,etc,etc

"Most video game people have read one book and seen one movie in their life, which is Lord of the Rings and Aliens or variations of that," Levine told MTV News, adding, "There's great things in that, but you need some variety." Got that here.
Makes me think of system shock and Marathon, two games with stories. Not kill monster, flip switch, get key, repeat. Don't get me wrong Doom was fun but pretty boring compared to Marathon 2.
It Also reminds me of something I read about video game designer back in the 70's. I remember one game creator said that the most important thing was that your game was unique, you did not want to do anything remotely like the other game designers were doing. Like anything else made for public consumption... sooner or later everything becomes a simple formula that everyone has for the same vanilla pudding pop... With a fancy new wrapper of course...

New Macbooks

Speed bump and 1 gig of RAM to start. Announced by apple at 8 this morning. Macsurfer waited till about 9:15 to update the site. I know this sounds crabby but maybe they need set the alarm a little earlier....

real deal

I will admit this looks like hours of fun. It is a commercial..... it is supposed to make you think it is the greatest thing since sex....so you want to buy it. In reality the game winds up and makes a annoying grinding sound like a mix between playing cards in you bike spokes and Prince in the intro part of "When Doves Cry". I am sure the Dad in the ad just wants to grab it so he can break the darn thing.

big day

As many of you know (and by many I mean the 4 people that read this) I have broken my leg in a pretty big way a little while back. In fact the whole reason this thing even exists is because I am laid up, on narcotics and crabby. I keep trying to tell myself I am not crabby but I am. If I have time to look up pictures of old junky handheld games I did not even own I am beyond board and as Thich Nhat Hanh said in his not so famous first book Enlightenment is a Quiet Breeze But it Sure is Hot out here Today: "Boredom is a stream without a pebble and the fish is Loose".....
Ah... wait....I had to look back to see what I was talking about. Anyway I think my point is I am getting a cast put on tomorrow and I can't wait to move around a little bit. I will try to breath in and feel the cool air and all that....

frigtard

I was checking out the fake steve blog.... and he has a poetry corner... so i got to change my blog name I guess... or not it is not like anyone is ever going to see this one.

picture = 543 words

This is Dorkbot.
I found Him at Here while listening to a cool cover of 23 minutes in brussels.

1337 tr00 pwnage Kraftwerk = pr0

I am too old to read it...too lazy to look it up... BK you wanna help me out?

bright hopes...electronic lapels....

As I get older

I know there is a gulf that is created by technology between generations. There are things I don't "get" I have seen people take two minutes texting someone about beach plans when both of them could have made a 30 second phone call. Maybe I am missing something . There seems to be a level of detachment in texting. I think that is comforting in the fact you can think for a second before you respond. That one does not happen in real live conversation. anyway.... I am old.. I don't "get it" what ever... the reason I brought the whole thing up is because I figure if John Schneider can't figure out Photoshop Elements, Maybe he could offload it to some kid and get better results... maybe the kid could help out James Best also.

Time

It is 9:57 PM on May 10. I am sure the posting time below will be wildly randomly different.



see.....

My shot at fame

That crazy ODBC Administrator in OS X is pretty cool... it uh well it does some cool stuff with databases and things...aw heck, I wish I was first to have a cool blog dedicated to a fairly mundane app. Turns out Mr. Hawk Wings beat me to it. I wish simpletext was still around textedit is way too complicado.
RTF smarTF...

For the record

According to Episode 55, "Dead of Knight", KITT's reaction time is one nanosecond, and his "memory" capacity is 1,000 megabits. For the latter, it is uncertain whether or not active RAM or hard drive space was being discussed. According to Episode 65, "Ten Wheel Trouble", KITT's future capacity is unlimited. Currently capable of 50,000,000 k with the ability to grow by 1,000,000 k daily. It's uncertain what unit these numbers are in, and whether or not this is RAM or hard drive space.

I got that from here

it is a kids show... not a real car... really.

I got a lot of free time right now...

But this is stupid.

Good luck Joseph... If you have that much time to waste, I got some yard work that needs to be done over here. You can bring the beachball with you.

truth hurts

I may not be the crabbiest man in Holland Heights. I know of at least two more men who are crabbier than me. I would expose them but I fear they may harm me in some way. Or look at me in disdain as they walk by.. . I don't need that.

Doing requests

I had a dream that I was at a Coldstone Creamery and Roy Orbison was working the counter. I was in line and became fixated with his big silver wristwatch. He was folding all kinds of goodies into some ice cream for people on his cold stone. But all I could say when I got up to the front was "hey how much for the watch?"He just looked at me like I had asked him to fold it into the ice cream. Then some other stuff happened that I can't remember exactly. I was asked to post this by the myscurvy.com guy Dug. There ya go.. no charge.
By the way that is not the watch from my dream.. it is picture I found...

one for the fan

I am lying here trying to process information I have acquired today. According to not one but two sources on the internet (yes there may be more but more than two constitutes work), Gene Wilder, sometime after Silver Streak was released, found the time to play congas on the Talking Heads album Fear Of Music... Just let that sit in your head for a second... Thats like... well I don't know what it is like because it is so bizarre to me.

One word...Bez

I think andy is working overtime

Not only does he write his own wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Taylor_%28guitarist%29
He has like 3 myspace sites... crazy man, crazy
crap... I was supposed to wait a few months before I posted again...

Just keepin up with the joneses

I plan on this being close to my last entry. I say this because I have seen a few blogs and they usually last for a few days and then are never updated again. If I do update again it will be in a few months when I remember I have a blog for five seconds. Hope to see ya then.

Optimizing volume

yes for like 45 minutes... it was only a quicktime update... come on !

see ya every morning BK

Yup, it is a done deal. I know no one cares about my crabby ramblings. But now no one will care and it will be available to anyone.
