Oh man, I had the best dinner last night at the Tortilla Press in Collingswood. I’ve been there a bunch of times, but I decided to order this from the menu:Pulled Pork with Chipotle Peanut BBQ Sauce ** National Award Winner ? Best Entr?e, Peanut Advisory Board ** Tender pulled pork with our famous BBQ…

What movie have you seen the most times in your life?
Here’s a question I was thinking about yesterday: What movie have you seen the most times in your life? For me it’s probably Star Wars, which I’m sure I’ve watched an average of once a year since I was a kid.

BM Rant on CleanFilms
CleanFilms.com is a Netflix like service where you can rent DVDs through the mail. The only difference is that these movies have had all foul language and nudity edited out. The BM Rant mines the user feedback page for some unintentional comedic gems.??Enemy At The Gates? is our first rental?With teenage boys who love war…

Team Fortress 2
When I was in college I played a lot of PC games like Quake, Age of Empires, Half-Life, etc. Back then there was a game coming out called Team Fortress 2 that was the sequel to a popular Quake mod and it looked awesome. The game was originally announced in 1999, but it never came…

Dhani Jones on Colbert Report
Anyone see Eagles linebacker Dhani Jones on the Colbert Report the other night? It wasn’t bad, but I think the interview could have been better. I thought maybe Dhani was promoting a book based on his introduction, but he was just booked as an oddity (NFL Linebacker writes poetry!). He should have at least read…

Odd Man In Stuff
Looks like the Odd Man In forum was hacked again by phpBB hackerbots. It’s ridiculous how many security holes are found in that software and I’m not going to bother fixing it. I may open a new forum, but it won’t use phpBB.

Mark Garvey’s Songs 4/4: Plastic Girl
I decided this couldn’t wait until Friday. It’s the grand finale of my Dad’s songs and I’m sure you guys will love it. Dad fell in love with it as soon as he heard it and he probably played it 200 times the last few years of his life. It was the first song I…

4 Years of bengarvey.com
I just remembered that it was about four years ago that I set up this site. Here’s a link to the first post I made and here’s another to the 2nd post I made. It was about going to the now-closed open mic at The Point.

Mark Garvey’s Songs 3/4: Oldest Baby in the World
As promised, here’s the next installment of my Dad’s songs. It’s a John Prine song called the Oldest Baby in the World and it’s ripped from an old video tape. Dad played it right after the first song I posted, Fool Such as I, so you’ll hear the rest of us occasionally. Sarah always sang…

Scamming the Scammers
You know those ridiculous email scams you always get where the guy in Africa says he needs to smuggle $25 million out of his country with your help and you’ll get 10% if you help him? There’s a site out there of people who scam the scammers back. The greatest one has the anti-scammer pretending…

Ever Try Canceling AOL?
I know I’m late in linking to this, but I just actually listened to it today. A guy recorded himself trying to cancel his AOL account. It’s well known that AOL offers up passive resistance to doing so, but I never thought it would be this bad. Listen to the call here.

Podcast on Disabled Musical Prodigies
I’ve seen this piece on 60 Minutes before, but they just released it as a podcast. It’s the story of children who have severe mental disabilities who are somehow able to tap into amazing musical talent. One of the kids could play Mozart before she could say “mama.” It’s fascinating, so check it out.

English Muffins
Isn’t it annoying that english muffins have one good side and one bad side? The bad side is still ok to eat, but it doesn’t hold the butter/peanut butter/jelly as well as it’s non-identical twin. If anyone can figure out a way to make an english muffin with two good sides you’d probably become a…

Firefox Tip
I heard about this on FLOSS Weekly’s interview with Ben Goodger, one of the creators of Firefox. They asked him what features in Firefox are underused and he said “keyword searches.” To use this feature, go to a site you do a lot of searching on like IMDB and right click on the search box.…
