I should really stop redesigning my blog at 4 in the morning, but I can’t help it! I was checking up on all the Memphis blogs today — clicking through, not using my reader — when I noticed the lovely Ms. Lemonslush‘s snazzy theme and got serious theme envy. It is rare that I find a WordPress theme that I really, really like. And yet Bueno seems to be a solid, well-built, FREE theme with…
No, this isn’t a picture of Ralph Steadman’s pen ejaculating all over a Jackson Pollock painting. This is what it looks like when I work. I’ve been seeing internerd scuttlebutt (that was for you, Chris) around the web about Anatoliy Zenkov‘s awesome and awesomely weird little application that records the movement of your mouse for as long as you let it, and had to give in and do one of my own. Dots indicate a…
Listening to music while in the bathroom just got a lot easier thanks to this Lifehacker tip. I don’t really know how they got an iPhone to fit like that into a pint glass, though. I have some snazzy pint glasses (thanks to Fancycwabs) and my phone barely shimmies down in them halfway. I do, however, have two of these awesome midcentury red diamond glasses, which I inherited from my great grandmother after she passed…
I broke my blog in a major way just now. I think I deleted a bunch of shit, including my WP install or something stupid like that. I was using Filezilla to do install a WordPress plugin that would have backed up my database and upgraded WP, when my pinkie — the most idiotic of all my fingers — hit the delete key and suddenly shit started moving and turning green and red and I…
Getting drunk and photographing bar bathrooms can PAY OFF! For even more fun than should be allowed in public bathrooms, read the comments of this post, where people offered suggested titles. I think I like this one the best. Geometry jokes, hyuk. (I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t pick this photo, but I can’t get everything I want, now can I?)
Can you please help me pinpoint Memphis-based acts at Bonnaroo this year? I know about Al Green, MGMT, and Booker T. But I’m sure I’m missing big hugely obvious ones, too. The lineup is here. Think of this as a scavenger hunt. A scavenger hunt with no apparent prize.
I’ve been struggling with sour soul lately, so I did a little bit of unplugging, including from Twitter, and what happens? Last night I get a notification that my mother is now following me. That flash you just saw? That was the illusion that I am not a foul-mouthed, drunken degenerate taking to the sky with pigs. So, Internet, welcome my mother to Twitter. She has three followers right now: Me, my sister, and “Britney…
Hi, Geoff? Just because you’re bad at Twitter doesn’t mean that Twitter itself sucks. Just saying. Twitter is only bewildering and unmanageable and dumb if you can’t figure out how to apply your filter — either figuratively or literally using specific applications. (An aside: How tedious to have to keep explaining this kind of thing to people as they throw their hands up and proclaim that the technology is beyond their grasp. Or — worse…
Never in my life did I imagine that the Google Street View crew would roll through Saltillo. But they did. And it looks a little like they half-assed it just like they did with Memphis. I guess they’re just hitting major rural highways for now. Too bad, because that means you can’t take a virtual stroll down to the river, or see the rockin’ mural on what used to be JB’s Grocery (which was, before…
