And I’m at work. Because there’s work to be done. And that’s what I do. 🙂
UPDATE: 10:30 — still here. 😉
UPDATE: 11:30 — uh hu. Still here. 😀
UPDATE: 12:24 — going home. Gotta work in a few hours!
UPDATE: 12:56 — OK, I forgot a server that needed to be updated. Really going home now…
Improv Everywhere rocks my face off. Wouldn’t the world be a lot less “up tight” if this was more common?
I’ve mentioned a few times that I desire to produce a weekly podcast. I even have a mixing board, decent mic, and enough tech know-how to publish the thing. What I’m lacking, is a focus.
I like the title, “Professionally Inept” because truly, I know a lot about a lot, but I’m far from a know it all. I considered having a tech podcast in which I answer questions (live, recorded, or emailed) regarding technology. The problem is that I am beginning to think I’d just be reinventing the wheel. Am I just a Leo Laporte wannabe? Is there room in the tech world for yet another tech podcast?
What about a tech news podcast? Latest tech gadgets podcast? A podcast geared toward the happily isolated telecommuter? A much lower budget version of The Onion? A podcast in which I lie like crazy and make stuff up, pretending it’s factual. A live video podcast ala Chris Pirillo? A video podcast of a week in the life of a tech guy, where I carry around a video camera all week, and try to make a funny montage every weekend?
See my dilemma? I’m open to suggestions. (I’m talking to you too, Linux Journal folks, I’m interested in your suggestions too)
Remember a while back I mentioned I was going to be on television as a caller on The Lab with Leo Laporte? Well, episode 157 aired on Thursday, and I snagged myself a copy of it today. It only airs in Australia and Canada, but they offer torrents of the show after it airs, so I don’t feel bad about downloading it. Also, I posted the snippet with me on YouTube. Here ya go:
Another thank you to the folks that remind me when I don’t take my medicine. This month is the first time in years I’ve taken my blood pressure pills EVERY DAY. You guys and gals rock. Really.
Today is a day I really need that blood pressure medicine as well. I’ve had 200 Macs fail to log in, and our Windows Terminal Server decided it was time to take a dirt nap. Things are better now. And Donna brought me my medicine. 😀
I don’t have a problem writing non-fiction, but fiction is difficult for me. Really really. I’m not quite sure why. I think I’ll blame the Great Red Spot, because I don’t think it gets blamed for enough stuff.
I thought I’d put a link up to 1200 words of fiction that I wrote. I don’t think it sucks, and I hope to actually make a story from it. Hopefully someday I’ll figure out what it is about fiction that kicks my butt so.
Next time, I’ll GET that Apple Butter… 😉
This week brings a really fun Linux Journal review. It’s especially cool, because Kate Baker agreed to do some voice work for the video. Thanks Kate!!! (PS: It helps if you’ve seen the Tom Cruise video, and/or the Jerry O’Connell parody)
Don’t judge me…
UPDATE: Apparently I named the graphic the same thing and overwrote the screenshot showing 200-odd unread blog entries. Silly me…
Because sometimes, cinnamon isn’t spicy enough…
