Rock Star alter egos are growing in numbers
"You're forming a fake band -- that's what you do," says Sadri, calling the game "the best part of karaoke, adding in a drummer and guitars."
The Magpie Developer
Jeff Atwood is one of the best programmer/writers around. I love reading his stuff, some I agree wholeheartedly with, other stuff we disagree, but this post is about a dead-on as they come. This idea has been floating in my head for a long time, but it is hard for me to conceptualize it in words, Atwood does a brilliant job at it. Must read for any developer.
Andy Olmsted's Last Blog Entry.
(Warning: Pretty rough) No matter how you feel politically about the war, this reminds you that each number people throw around as statistics is a human life. This is extremely well written, and pretty rough on your soul towards the end, but something everyone should read. Its a shitty situation all around, but there is always a human face behind the statistics and I want to make sure I never forget that.

Drinking stories that put yours to shame
Via Keith


To preserve his body during the voyage home, the second-in-command stored Nelson's body in the ship's vat of rum and halted all liquor rations to the crew. Not a bad idea, but when the ship reached port, officials went to retrieve Nelson's body and found the vat dry.



Disregarding good taste (in every sense), the crew had been secretly drinking from it the entire way home. After that, naval rum was referred to as Nelson's Blood.
making vodka pills in 24 hours
Recently, Chef Fabian was experimenting further with the Adria/Torreblanca technique of making 'vodka pills.' I use this word to describe the process of making liquid-filled candies by pouring flavored alcohol syrups into cornstarch and letting it set until a hard outer shell forms.
Strategy Letter VI - joelonsoftware.com
As a programmer, thanks to plummeting memory prices, and CPU speeds doubling every year, you had a choice. You could spend six months rewriting your inner loops in Assembler, or take six months off to play drums in a rock and roll band, and in either case, your program would run faster. Assembler programmers don’t have groupies.

Hot Abercrombie Chick!

Ok I was reviewing my links last night (links from other pages to mine) and I came across this site so I had a look. I don't know what it is but this site seems really shady. You got this really cheese name 'Hot Ambercrombie Chick!' along with some decent writing and a pic of some cute girl smiling. Something just seems to bother me about this site. I was gone email the girl to see if it is real or not, but I cannot find an email address on the site. I am not saying it is not her site, but something just doesn't seem right about the site. I started thinking why would someone put up a blog under a pseudonyms with a pic of a cute chick? Is it Orkut syndrome, where people tend to link to others with good looking pics to make them feel better? Is this just a site in a series of sites to boost PR for a group so that the PR can be focused somewhere else? Really odd site, and I would like to know whats up with it. Anyone know. Shoot me an email. Like most Blogs my email is on the right hand side. -cb Hot Abercrombie Chick!

Wedding Pix

The Wedding is over. I am now a married man. (Please ladies quit sending me the 'your amazingly cute and have great political views emails please). The race is over I was finally caught (via Italian Nike Commercial). I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life in a ceremony last Saturday. Since my tiny blogosphere was unable to attend, here are the photos: My parents threw down an awesome rehearsal dinner. My Mom and Dad created an pretty good tape of embarrassing pix to start the evening off with (crony dome baby head pic was pretty scary, I think they tried to hide that from me when I was small as not to shatter my Superman ego). Everyone had a good time at the rehearsal/dinner, Hopefully I can get some more pix/movies from my uncles Mike and Jeff to post. The photographer took and organizational presence and May Anne kicked some ass on the flow of the wedding. Now onto the big day...

Photos of rehearsal Dinner:       

I must admit, I was really not that nervous before the wedding. I was very Hot (Humidity brought temp up to about 92 degs on day of wedding) [All the brotha's yell "ICE COLD"]. But I was pretty cool when I was walking down the isle [All the brotha's yell "ICE COLD"]. Because hey, what's cooler than being cool?

Photos of Wedding Dinner:       

Aww what an awesome week last week was. Wedding turned out perfect, honeymoon was even more perfect. I would highly recommend Sandals @ Nassau (New Providence) to anyone looking for an all-inclusive honeymoon spot. The resort itself kicked ass. I was worried about paying a lot of money for an all inclusive resort only to really not know if we were going to like the Food/Drinks. Well I will be damned if I could have just sat there all day drinking Johnny Walker Black Label to my heart's content. The Bartenders were not stingy in any way on the drinks and the food was excellent. There were multiple restaurants to choose from, and the actual menus themselves were great. I ate veal and sushi to my hearts content. Lindz went crazy on the French Toast. We had tons of stuff to do during the day, and the resort owns half of an island about a mile off shore that was a great escape during the day.

Mics 15' high for Dave & Friends set Dave Matthews & Friends consists of: Trey Anastacio, Brady Blade, Tony Hall, Dave Matthews, Ray Paczkowski and Tim Reynolds Notes: Alright so why not make another compilation? This tour was definitely refreshing and yours truly was lucky enough to be at both the San Diego and Los Angeles shows. I tried to make it as balanced as possible with fair representation so I chose 10 of the 12 shows to contribute four songs and the other lucky two shows to contribute five. 50 songs in all! This time I downloaded a free version of Audacity audio editor just to make life a little easier as far as picking out tracks and avoiding Dave from sounding extremely repepetitive. Basically that was the only reason for editing. I tried to keep it to a minimum. The setlist seemed pretty simple. Just split the compilation into two shows and have around 9 Dave & Tim songs, 10 covers and 6 Some Devil tunes (approximately) per show. I wish the audio in LA had turned out a little nicer, but with that exception I have to say I was pretty pleased with the quality. Thanks to ALL the tapers! I hope you all enjoy. if you have questions and/or comments please e-mail me at crushme22@yahoo.com. A special thanks goes out to Miles Rogers for his collabrative effort on the compilation. I see a great future in working together on projects ahead! So after 50 songs, 12 venues, 5 hours, 39 minutes and 18 seconds of wonderful music I hope y'all enjoy! peace, Michael Download Torrent Here
