Oops I broke the site on Thursday.

I made a few changes and I accidentally broke my website theme. Which prevented the site from even loading.
I forgot to check to see if the site was affected at all, but I got sloppy. This is more of a reminder to myself and warning to others to always check to make sure you didn’t break stuff.

Sales Guy vs. Web Dude

This was hilarious. You won’t find this funny if you fall under the “Sales Guy” category.

Free Mac program to convert Office 07 & 08 docs

This might come in handy if someone emails you a file saved as a .docx or pptx or whatever the other new fangled file extensions are. I’m currently running NeoOffice so this could come in handy for me sometime. Maybe it could help you out.

Here’s the link to the Microsoft Download Center page.

Country Line Dancing is a Unique Phenomenon

Prologue: I went to this bar last night: The Banque.

Every song has its own dance, and everyone knows the dances. It’s amazing how the first few seconds of a song plays, and if people know the dance to it they rush to the dance floor.

Another crazy thing is the people that don’t line dance, they dance circles around the line dancers (literally). They are like the Alpha dancers, they all have a partner and they practice a more traditional looking country dance style, it looks highly structured with lots of crazy hand grips and what not. (These “grips” are the origin of the submission holds in professional wrestling) What’s wild is that the Alpha dancers have a unique dance fore every song too! They also move in unison. The result is something that looks like it took months of practice and careful preparation by an expert choreographer.

So I asked the waitress about where these dances come from. Was there a sacred book that holds the steps to all country songs such as Honky Tonk Badonkadonk?

Unfortunately this was not the case. She simply said that there are certain dance moves that go with certain beats of a song. Basically what she was saying is that there is a secret dance-language that lays out the foundation of country line dancing. This language was thought to have been invented around the time of the Mexican-American War in 1845.

The power is out. Its a good thing I bought those cheap candles from wall mart 3 years ago…

I just finished watching the movie “Wanted” and I’m in the mood to play a little Call of Duty.

Friday: Slack-Day

I’m not really in a working mood today, and since I feel like posting something, I’m going to tell you my plans for the night.

I’m thinking about going home a little early and playing COD4 on my PS3.

I’m meeting Ashley on the street for happy hour at McCormick & Schmick’s.

300 Spoof

This is probably really old, but I just ran across it. It’s pretty damn funny; obviously the guys who made it love The Office.

Edit: Well apparently this is going to be a full fledged movie, the305movie.com

Check out my new theme

I’m such a design freak! I’m never satisfied with a blog theme for long. It’s kinda like how “hair stylists” or as I like to say, the girl that cuts my hair, always have a completely different hair style every time you go in to get a trim. I guess it’s sorta the same way with someone who designs websites like me.

I setup a Tumble blog, and I really enjoyed the simplicity of the theme. However I chose to “own” my own blog a few years ago. So I’m not really liking how my posts reside on their server.

I wish WordPress treated categories/tags/taxonomy like Drupal does; where each tag can have its own RSS feed and such. This way I could setup a sort of Tumble blog that was merely category of my main blog.

Oh well, I can’t have my cake and eat it too. I’m not really wanting to switch my blog to Drupal, so I’ll just live with it… for now.

TRUCK @ the Norva 5/30/08

TRUCK headlined at the Norva last month (May 30th) they put on a hell of a show and I managed to snap a few pictures and take some video in between beers.
Tomorrow, June 22nd, they will be opening up for Less than Jake at the Norva. I still haven’t gotten my ticket yet, I heard they are going for $300 on eBay which seems reasonable considering they are awesome like sliced bread.
