Yo Gabba Gabba!

June 7, 2006 – 12:01 am

Oh man, I got wind of this yesterday in conversation with Hiland, Kirk and Kyle on the Mezzanine. Then I spotted this reference to former Amoeba co-worker Lance Rock’s new gig. YO GABBA GABBA! This looks like a cast of characters I can get behind. I don’t think the show has been picked up yet, […]

Thanksgiving

November 18, 2005 – 11:31 am

Lifehacker has an amusing and helpful article about the Annual Family Computer Fixing event – that tradition wherein we go home, eat turkey, sip wine and re-combobulate the parents’ hard drive. Among the suggestions: Switch the default browser to Firefox (which I actually just talked my Mom through,) do a spyware/adware sweep, defrag the hard […]

Oh, oh, oh. Here’s a nice new distraction for me. I’m taking a brief break in my ridiculous Monday schedule to point out the cool service at pandora.com. It’s internet radio. It’s song advice. It’s music supervision in a nifty web app. Just type in an artist or a song that you like and it […]
