Free Frosty’s at Wendy’s
Wendy’s is giving out free Frostys this weekend to say “thank you” for everyone who put up with the chili situation, which is marketing-speak for “please come back.” Out of all the fast food joints, I think Wendy’s is one of the best so I feel bad that they got screwed in the whole dead.…

Minivan with Spinning Rims
The other day I drove behind a dark greenish-blue, Pontiac Transport mini-van. With spinners. It looksed exactly like this, but with the rims of course. If I had a camera phone I would have taken a picture of it, but I don’t. My phone does have a huge crack in it, though.

Xxoxia on @ Pontiac Grille (5/5/05)
Adam and I saw Xxoxia rock the Pontiac on Cinco de Mayo. It was the first time I heard Phil’s full band and it was awesome. Their sound is very 90’sish. I’d say a cross between Tool and Our Lady Peace. Downstairs they had a $2.50 Corona deal and when we went upstairs to see…

So Long Stephenie
So far I’ve enjoyed Survivor: Palau, mostly due to the fierce competitiveness and smart strategizing of Philadelphian, Stephenie Lagrossa. Her tribe became the first to lose every single immunity challenge, but it was her teammates that consistantly let the tribe down. Stephenie kicked ass wherever and whenever asses were found and her possible comeback was…

Today I received in the mail a copy of Acoustic Ross’s EP titled, 918 UFN. For some reason on the other side of the CD it says “ohio toothbrush sarcas,” which sounds like every other email subject I get. My favorite song so far is Just The Thing, which continues my theory that 99% of…

Today’s Downtime
In 2002 I looked around to find a good, free, open-source content management system for my website. I settled on PostNuke, the software currently being used to produce and store the text you’re currently reading. At the time it had great reviews as an alternative to the popular PHP-Nuke, which had a reputation for glaring…

Blue Orchid
The White Stripes released the single, Blue Orchid, from their upcoming album Get Behind Me Satan. The song sounds like nothing they’ve ever done before, but it fits with the title of the album. It’s full of high falsettos and high pitched guitars. I listened to it about three times and liked it more every…
