Regrets

I registered the name Blogus Trigon, but haven't done anything with it.

Game Over

I think I can quit the internet now. Game over.

GV Loves Cheek Keep

Google Voice voicemail transcription of a message from a friend. Yes, there are some funny parts, like "So yeah, we don't play you. We put it in." But for every comically bad transcription error, there's one where you have to wonder "how'd it actually catch that?" For example, the "birthday party" in this message. It barely even sounds like birthday party. Granted, he didn't know that he was going to get transcribed by a robot, he was speaking like a regular Hoosier, but when you really enunciate, this thing is freakishly on. Welcome to the future. Sort of.

The great Rock n’ Bowl t-shirt coincidence of 2010.

I just noticed that the apostrophes are on different sides of the “n” though. Must be two different places.

The Alphabet of Your URL Bar

Chances are, your web browser has an auto-complete type thing where you type in your URLs. I made up an internet game based on that. Type the alphabet into your URL bar, one letter at a time. Paste the FIRST thing that your browser suggests for each letter, unless it’s too embarrassing, in which case skip it or post how far down you have to go before something’s not too embarrassing. Here’s mine:

H is embarrassing, I’ll skip H. 2nd in line was http://www.last.fm/music/Homecomings

I http://isohunt.com/

J I’ll skip J too. I had to go eight spots down to get this: http://www.fakesteve.net/

K http://karagarga.net/

4 skips out of the whole alphabet, that’s not too bad. This is pretty revealing though. I’m basically a huge nerd.

I want to see what everyone else’s alphabets look like. No cheating, just skip if it’s something you don’t want to post, or list your alternates (but you have to admit it was an alternate).

Super Bowl Sunday Doodle

Warm Morning.

A song I recorded yesterday morning. It was actually kind of the opposite of warm around the house, so I decided to name the file "warm morning" in hopes that looking at that title and being in that mindset would make the song have a warming effect.

Cheese and Crackers

A funny little ditty from the family reunion recording session we did a few days back. It’s Mark Rice on drums, Greg Dixon on guitar, Mike Bridavsky on bass, Allison Corn on cowbell, and I played the shaker and then did a pedal steel overdub. I want someone to use this on TV or something. $$$ ;-)
