Testing it out
I’m trying a widget that allows me to publish quickly from my dashboard. Please excuse any goofiness.

So the bill passed that will allow telecom companies to choose which sites you can view based on how much money those sites pay. What can we do? Politician Kerry has a solution: to filibuster diligently (of his primitive ancestry?). I guess by rambling the ISPs will now start to listen. I guess my tax dollars can be spent on that as long as he keeps rocky shores shipwreck-free and leaves the light on in the birdhouse of his soul.
That is, unless there was some major lobbying going on. (How is it that a lobby can be a relaxing place for couches, and yet lobbying means conniving?) It’s like club and clubbing, I guess. One is loud. The other has only a d6 damage. (Unless you’re war-forged, warmblood.)
I also saw a sign a couple days ago that now is in my neighborhood, posted in the dirt next to a street sign:
“Trouble thing some happens? Sell Houses” and then they give their phone number.
That is someone who I want to draft my paperwork while my house is in escrow. (It’s not; we like where we live. I mean, I just put in a new air conditioner filter and three 25watt light bulbs. It’s where I keep my stuff.)
I downloaded a new widget today that follows a network of webcams at Kennedy Space Center. Almost as cool as this.
Or a Romulan Octopus of Prey.

Yes, my friends, now you can subscribe to a podcast full of barbarian wackiness. The actual site is giving me guff with the RSS feed, but you can see the feed at:
feed://www.booyor.inlawfilms.com/Podcast/rss.xml
If you enter that into iTunes, you’ll be able to rock out to the latest stuff.

I know that a lot of you are Guitar Hero fans, so you might be sad to hear the news if you are planning to buy a PS3 and expect to play older versions of Guitar Hero: (This is from Escapist Game Blog.)
That’s right, even though the game itself may be “backward compatible” with the PS3, the controller isn’t.
According to Red Octane:
The older PS2 controller will not work, but there will be some new stuff on the horizon.
Just what “new stuff” this may be, my source at Red Octane could not say. Considering the PS3’s built-in Bluetooth, we may be looking forward to a wireless guitar in the near future, which – while cool – would not satisfy that empty feeling in my wallet when I have to buy a new $30 peripheral to play a game for which I already bought a $30 peripheral.
Or are we perhaps talking about the possibility of Guitar Hero 3 not being exclusive to a Sony console? Either way, with Guitar Hero 2 expected at around the same time as the PS3, and a third installment in the works, they’d better have something up their sleeves. A Flying V might do the trick.

Usually I keep my giving on the DL, but then I thought about how I got connected with World Vision at a Third Day concert (very not DL).
So, here’s a link to a site that I created with one of their text editor programs:
http://connect.worldvision.org/person/booyor
I don’t expect any obligations from anyone, but I do want to get the word out.
And yes, I did just update my World Vision profile to say Booyor. Heh.

Three words: B Cannon Vong. I am working on the latest Star Wars write-up. (Okay, so I’m watching 24 reruns TiVoed by my mom that she gave to my wife. I guess there’s some terrorists, a clock that beeps, and a man who yells a lot.)
If you want to guffaw, check this out. And also watch part 2 and 3 of Nobody’s Watching.

You have not lived until you have had a movie that you have made projected on a wall with 120 kids watching it. I put together a music montage called “Ted’s Creature Feature” of kids at our church’s choir camp. You have not lived until you have had 120 kids guffaw because you sped the footage up so that they sound like mice. Or trying to figure out why we have a tight close-up of a grasshopper (kids started cracking up. Imagine me standing in the back like a French version of Jean-Luc Picard meditating. “Yes! They understand good art!”).
There is a subtle difference between Jean-Marc Picard and Jean-Luc.
The Creature Feature is as borderline cool as the Holy Order of the Lion “Peter Jackson-esque” trailer that we showed in service a couple of years ago. I still get chills when I see the glint of sunlight travel up the blade and sparkle on the armor.
Who would have know there were so many Star Trek photos on the Internet?

Maybe you’ve seen this, but I’m mildly impressed.
“Your Chun-Li is in another castle.”
And if you want to see what 4th grade was like for me (watching someone who actually had an NES play Mario straight through forever), click here.
By the way: I had people asking me about The AWW, so now I know that you read the bloggh. Feel free to comment. It’s real simple.
If you have trouble, just post a question asking how to do it.

And, sad to say, I actually did not know that you could paint like this in Photoshop.

Trinidad is out and now Ghana is playing the US. It’s like Superman vs. Batman or when Spock took on Kirk. It’s like Ghana now has a goatee in a parallel universe.
So, browsing YouTube I found “Nobody’s Watching”.
