Summary iPhone Alarm does not loop, large gap between end and start Description Set an alarm on your iPhone Let the alarm start ringing Expected: Alarm tone should sound and continue to repeat until dismissed. When tone is repeated there should be no gap between the end and the start of the tone. Actual: Very…

Do we have some new Obama mamas?

His stand-up routine did not impress me. Out-dated and lazy.

I picked up a Wacom Tablet about a month ago. I got the cheapest one available, the Bamboo. It’s entry-level, it’s not for serious artists but it’s a very sleek package for a beginner. I don’t feel like I’ve compromised in anyway for this tablet. The size is good and the responsiveness is perfect. I…

Jack: Want to hear a bedtime story? C: Sure. Jack: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named C. C: I don’t like this story. Jack: And she ruled over her people with an iron fist. C: Yup, don’t like it. Jack: Then along came the handsome knight, Sir Jack… and he slay…

So Nancy Pearl Wannabe had a great idea for a blogger-powered Choose Your Own Blogventure. I signed up, and now here I am writing an ending. I have only actually read the story immediately preceding mine so don’t blame me for any plot holes or unfinished story. I did the best I could. Start of…

Ok, let’s say, hypothetically, that you get told that people like your accent on a semi-regular basis. How would you respond to the compliment, “I like your accent!” if you are talking to a girl you want to hook up with and you are: at a party, having just met her alone together amongst a…

Gather round, kids, and indulge me while I recall this story. In August 2005, I was reading a friend’s blog and he was getting comments from this guy called Johnny*. Weird comments that talked about the emotions evoked by the writing and little tidbits of happy constructive criticism. To be honest, I can’t really remember…

I am updating and re-posting old blog entires with new titles. This was originally posted on 22 July 2005 and was titled Airport Phone Call! The tone rings for the third time. This is the first time you’ve felt so nervous calling your girlfriend (ex-girlfriend?). “Hello? What’s going on?! Aren’t you meant to be flying…

Currently my job doesn’t involve interacting with clients or the public at large. But I do wonder what would happen to my blog if I had to take on greater responsibility and become a semi-public figure. The first hit on Google for my name is this blog, the second is my Twitter. That’s a good…

I can’t give anything away but tomorrow night is going to be good blog post fodder. All I can say right now is that this will probably be as stupid as the time I blogged about taking a dance lesson. I have a serious case of butterflies about tomorrow so there’s still a chance I…

Ok so my calf muscle in my left leg is kind of sore. Why? God. I don’t want to tell you why. And at the same time, I really want to tell you why. Because you are the my lovable audience and blogs are here to tell about embarrassing things. I went to a dance…

In God we trust by Æ’reg I heard that some particularly angry Californians will drive with pennies in their ashtray. For those that don’t know; pennies are worth one cent. They are pretty much a very useless coin and even more useless with the weakening US dollar. So is this some sort of vehicular swear…

From what I understand, “Loudtube” is simply the act of taking existing videos, cranking the volume up until it’s completely distorted and then posting it on Youtube again. There is no rational reason behind this and it’s an exercise in sheer immaturity. It delights me no end.

One thing that sucks about US currency is that their coins are pretty useless. Generally the largest coin you will find is a quarter (25 cents, for you math majors) and there are so very few things that can be purchased for a quarter. This leads to another great invention, the majority of the vending…

Hanging out with David is fun. During his whirlwind 2 days in Seattle, we seemed to reach all sorts of conversational highs and lows. The highs because he’s doing a lot of study in the Web 2.0 stuff that I live and breathe and lows because he will not let any double entendre slip by…

So, I’m in the cafeteria today and I’ve been invited to the table full of Chinese co-workers. I can’t help but think to myself in a gruff cowboy voice, “Boy howdy, I sure wish they’d stop speakin’ all that asian-ese so I can understand ‘em.” Chinese New Year at Crown – 2006 They are, of…

Ladies; I saw. After years and years of observing the human race scurry about like cockroaches on a kitchen floor, I finally witnessed a woman sizing up another woman. Maybe I’m slow but I like to think women are extremely subtle about these sorts of things. They simply must look at another woman’s outfit but…

INT. FAST FOOD KITCHEN – MORNING Stainless steel counters and equipment are bathed in sunlight. DWAYNE is perfectly dressed in his colourful fast food uniform and shiny black shoes as he staffs the a spotless grill. He stares intently at a burger patty. RANDY is dressed in similar attire and prepares the remaining ingredients of…

I finished Pokemon Blue once upon a time To me, there is something hilarious about cats combined with internet parodies. I may be a little late to the party but whatevs. UPDATE: I had to remove the image because people don’t know to stop hot-linking. I only barely manage to pay for my web hosting…

I talked Dave into the idea of “HIV negative” parties. Every 3 months or so, he will host a party to celebrate testing negative for HIV. And guys? There’s nothing more appealing to the ladies than a man who has a clean bill of health. HIV is not a death sentence, talk to your physician…

Over at kottke.org, Jason has linked to a video of a comedian called Arie Spears doing some great impersonations of rappers. Get Flash Player to see the video. Aries Spears Rap. Pop! Seriously? That sound you heard was my mind being blown. This guy has done his homework and they are some of the realest…
