Pile of Gold video redux

Following in the footsteps of yesterdays post, I’m reposting the compilation I made of the videos posted for The Blow’s Pile of Gold music video (which you can read about here). This time though, I’m posting the (mostly) uncompressed 163MB version. I can’t guarantee that will stay up forever due to the size, […]

The Blow at The MFA

Adam and C2 came with me to see The Blow at the MFA in Boston back on October 6th. Although I am pretty biased towards The Blow, I think it was the most entertaining concert that I’ve ever seen. You can read Adam’s account here. For those that haven’t heard of it, […]

97% isn’t so bad…

Most people who visit Callblog are looking my Funny Ebay Feedback post. I am but a humble servant giving my readers what they want when I link to the latest xkcd comic, which shows the humorous side of mail fraud.

iPod Nano Commercial

Jenny and I were at Zach and Sara’s house tonight when an iPod Nano commercial came on TV. The commercial features a series of hands moving various colored iPod Nanos around, and they are all playing the same music video (seen below). Zach asked me if I knew who the artist in the […]

The Ladies

Khaela Maricich posted a hand-puppet interview on her blog, The Touch Me Feeling. In the video, the puppets represent two of The Blow’s songs, and the unidentified interviewer is obviously Khaela herself. I must admit, that for all that I claim to be a rabid fan, I obviously haven’t been keeping up […]

Goodbye Twig

We hardly knew you.
The Twig will be closing Monday, September 3rd, at 10:00pm. Although I wasn’t able to visit as often as I’d have liked, it will be missed.
Solemn thanks goes to Karl for pointing this out to me.

The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players

I was reading up on the band King Missile [wikipedia], now known as King Missile III, and saw that Wikipedia said “Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players member, Rachel Trachtenburg, has served a subsitute bass guitar player for King Missile.” The group name Trachenberg Family Slideshow Players was enough to pique my interest. […]

Transmit’s destructive “replace” function

I recently upgraded my WordPress installation (it was way way way out of date) and I thought it was weird that my old plugins weren’t showing up after the upgrade. It turns out that when I tell Transmit, the most convenient mac ftp application that I’ve found to date, to replace a folder, it […]

Smash Brother’s Bash Release Date

This is a couple days stale at this point, but I’m still pretty excited that Super Smash Brother Bash was given a official release date of December 3rd, 2007.

Half Life 2 Episode 2 and Portal shipping (downloading) October 9th

Although the official website is severely lacking in the details department, I was excited to see Joystiq reporting today that Half Life 2 Episode 2 and Portal (along with Team Fortress 2, which I don’t really care about) will be available on game developer Valve’s Steam service on October 9th, 2007. The games […]
