  • Comment Avatars Working

    This site uses software called PostNuke to handle all the content and one thing that has always bugged me is that it allows users to set an avatar, but doesn’t use the avatars anywhere on the site. From now on, if you’re logged in and you post a comment the avatar will be shown next…

  • nowayscoob back online

    I almost gave up on nowayscoob’s website, which laid unloved for a few months while Justin frollicked around irresponsibly. It’s certainly not Kopie’s fault their website went updateless since January, because he had other duties. At least their reputation is somewhat redeemed by a long update and some good advice about attending Trocadero events:I figured…

  • Reju @ 3 Beans Last Night

    So Adrien Reju’s band is now just called Reju. That’s a good move on Adrien’s part, because she’s bounced around a number of backing muscians since I’ve known her and these guys are clearly what she’s been looking for. They sound great together. She even rocked out with her Paul Reed Smith for a while…

  • Photos from this Weekend

    I added some new pictures from Friday’s show to my image gallery. I also added a few pics of other local artists, including Jason Wheatley, Matt Winn, and Reju. Be sure to check out this really weird picture of Matt Winn and Jason Wheatley. The slow shutterspeed created some interesting lighting effects, especially on the…

  • Thanks for Coming Out!!

    I had a lot of fun at last night’s show. Jason rocks for having me open up for him and so does everyone for coming out (Sarah, Jeanne, Mark, Rich, Vinnie, Kevin, Joanne, and Adam). I’ll post some pictures of the show later on when I get a chance. I did a set of almost…

  • Reminder of Friday’s Show

    Be sure to come out on Friday to see Jason Wheatley and me at the Living Room at 8:00PM. Don’t worry, Jason’s not nearly as scary as I am. Also, you’ll definitely want to check out Adrien Reju on Saturday March 29 @ 8:30PM at 3 Beans Coffee in Haddonfield, NJ. I saw a great…

  • Chappelle

    I just bought tickets to go see Dave Chappelle on April 11 at the Tower Theatre. I can’t wait. He was fantastic when I saw him a few years ago at AU (hmmm that may be the first link I’ve ever made to my alma mater).

  • Super News Feed is BACK

    Attention logged in users – You must check out my new Super News Feed when you get a chance. As before it updates itself every hour, but now you can filter out any sites you don’t want to see and you can even add your own favorite news feed. The downside is that you have…

  • Even More New Images

    I’ve been camera crazy lately and posted a few new pictures from Sunday’s hike through Wissahickon Park including the creepy Kelpius Cave picture you see to the right. I was actually brave enough to step inside the thing this time, but still haven’t executed my plan of jumping out of it wearing a wolfman mask.…

  • Upcoming Gig at the Living Room Friday, 3/28

    I’m proud to announce I’ll be opening up for Jason Wheatley at the Living Room in Collingswood, NJ on Friday, March 28th at 8:00PM. Jason has a great sound has been mentioned here numerous times. It should be a great show. If you need alcohol to have fun Jason is also playing TONIGHT at the…

  • Open Mic Recap @ The Grape Street Pub: St Patrick’s Day

    Last night Adam and I headed out to the Grape Street Pub’s open mic, hosted by Tom Gillam and bartender Andrew Geigert. The lineup was an insane collection of talent including featured artist, Seth Horan (formerly of Vertical Horizon), mcgowan, Jeremy Hollis, Jason Wheatley (who has a gig there this Thursday night at 8:00PM!), and…

  • Movie / TV Radar

    I had an interesting thought the other day. I think my movie radar is pretty good. After watching a preview trailer I can usually tell which movies I’ll like and which ones I’ll hate. Of course there are a few exceptions (liked Election, hated Best in Show), but for the most part my radar is…

  • New Images Added!!

    The weather has been awesome here so I took a few pictures yesterday and added them to the gallery. I got some great shots including one of my future dog-in-law Cinco, static Mckenzie, and my new desktop background. Sci-Fi is showing Children of Dune tonight at 9:00PM, which of course conflicts with the only time…

  • My New Drink

    I’m not entirely proud of it, but my new drink of choice is the Sugar Free Red Bull. I think it even tastes better than the fully sugared version. It’s probably chock full of deadly aspartame, but I don’t go for conspiracy theories unless they include one or more alien abductions and if it takes…

  • Cryptic Fortune

    Chinese fortune cookies are one of the most interesting and unique rituals in our dining culture. Contrary to popular belief there are claims it even began as an American tradition. In my experience most fortunes try to tell you something about yourself rather than what the future will bring, but occasionally you get one that…

  • Open Mic Recap @ The Living Room

    The crowds came out to the Living Room’s weekly open mic tonight. Roz King, Keith Lewis, Gilligan hat-wearing Dom, and a number of others turned out for a solid night of music. Willie Tapps even brought along a tuba player to help him out. It turns out the tuba’s sound and style are a natural…

  • CutOffMyFeet.com?

    Few things I’ve seen on the Internet are as bizarre as the goal of Paul “Freck” Morgan, owner of CutOffMyFeet.com:On August 24, 1986, Paul Morgan’s life was forever changed. He was in an accident which left him paralyzed. Since Paul is on Medicare/Medicaid, his insurance will not cover the amputation and new prosthetics because it…

  • Six Feet Under

    Six Feet Under felt subdued again this week (except for the first 5 minutes), although you can tell Nate’s marriage is getting as annoying for him as it is for us. Lisa’s character doesn’t seem to have anywhere to go, but this week’s theme was nervous breakdowns so maybe that’s a hint. Catherine O’Hara is…

  • High Tech Meets Fast Food

    Despite my reluctance to step inside one, life brought me to McDonalds the other day. Even though McDonalds had its first ever loss this year, the “restaurant” on Route 38 in Mt. Laurel displays their menus on High Definition Plasma Screens. Instead of physcially changing their menus to accomodate new items and special deals they…

  • Milestone

    This text marks the 100th news item published here since I started the site on June 17, 2002. Here are a few interesting facts from the Stats page: 63.57% of you use Internet Explorer and 11 of you actually use Lynx 70.72% of you guys use Windows, 4.805% use Macs, 3.64% use Linux, and one…
