South By Southwest

Trevor — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:59:32 +0000

This week and next is the big tekkie gathering in Austin called SXSW. The first week is for computer geeks and then the second week is for musicians. This is the one trade show that I would be willing to pay my own way. If I can’t get a gig with a company to send me next year, maybe I will just pony up and go on my own.

Megan’s a Bad Girl

Everyone loved Megan Fox in Transformers. She has a body to kill for. So now she’s the killer, in Jennifer’s Body. It comes out next month. Here’s the new trailer I found.

New Modem

I guess the modem in my HP PC has quit working. I could not get on the internet yesterday at all. So I tested everything and the laptop gets online. By process of elimination, it must be the modem has blown up.

I went to SAMs Club and found a new modem that hooks up through a port and it was only about $30. It plugs into the front of the PC and worked right away. So that’s fixed.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Isn’t it kind of sad that a popular slogan is based on a company’s failure to provide the expected services? I’ve had the frustration of talking to someone on my cell phone and having the call dropped because it lost the signal. I bought a phone and brought it home when I lived out in the boonies and discovered that no where near my house got a cell signal. I’ve had a road trip through an East Coast state that I would have figured for good cell phone coverage – less than an hour from Washington DC – and was not able to get a cell phone call once over the three days I was there. I guess things are getting better. I don’t know.

Thumbs Down on Apps

Shake a baby? Can you believe that some idiots that this was a cute idea for an iPhone app? You shake the phone until the baby on the phone display dies. That’s just sick.

This is the new IQ test from our HR department. LOL!

WordPress and 2.7

Trevor — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 02:42:08 +0000

I’m thinking of waiting until the New Year to download the newest 2.7 version that WordPress is now offering. Right now I am happy with what I have started with, but I will check into it and research it a bit before jumping right in.

I have some friends that I can ask some questions regarding WordPress and I’m sure that I’ll find the topic being discussed in many blogs that I can google to. But I’m staying put for now and going to tend to more urgent matters such as some hardcore holiday partying and enjoying the festivities that are in full swing now that Christmas is only a few day away.

Now let’s Roll!

Merry Christmas To All and To All A Goodnight

Old Man Winter

Trevor — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 16:33:04 +0000

So much for my cook-out plans, on the back patio, for the game later today, old man winter has hit us hard, the wind is blasting and the temperature is dropping by the minute. There should only be about 6 or 7 of us here this afternoon so I should be able to satisfy their ravishing appetites with out too much trouble, there is just something about bar-b-queuing outside in the winter months, it gets the adrenaline going, it’s invigorating and the smell just makes the whole atmosphere so much the better.

By the way, I’m betting on the Eagles tonight, the Redskins don’t seem to do well on their own home turf and have had a devastating end of the season to live down, so I don’t see them as having much ass behind them for this game being held in Washington D.C.

Eagles @ Redskins Game

Trevor — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:25:04 +0000

Looking forward to the guys coming around on Sunday afternoon for a night of football and beer. I have a pretty decent sized flat screen TV that makes watching televised games so much better that my place has pretty much an open door and open TV policy. What with all the sports channels that I subscribe to and all of the now televised games that go on practically all year round, one would be hard put not to find something to watch most of the time.

I grew up in a big family so I enjoy having a house that is usually active, loud and fun filled, most of the time my buddies are of the decent type, there have been a few that have provided a challenge or two, but that is life and it all works out in the wash.

My 1967 Mustang – a Muscle Car Classic

Trevor — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:15:01 +0000

My one true love is my 1967 Mustang and I have to admit that I spend almost as much time on it as I do on playing the many gaming systems that I spend such a good amount of time playing all types of different games.

I have named her Sally, for the popular song entitled “Mustang Sally” and she has been with me for many years and I’ve put a lot of time, energy, blood, sweat and tears and a boat load of cold cash into her through it all and am extremely proud of the way she looks, sounds and runs.

I’m thinking of entering her into this year’s parade that the town always puts on each spring, there is always a good amount of classic cars that cruise down the parade route each year, it would be kind of a cool thing to participate in, I’ll have to check more into that thought.

Nintendo DS

Trevor — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:06:43 +0000

I’m hoping that I will be getting a new Nintendo DS for Christmas, my hand held and very portable Nintendo DS is my favorite gaming system, although I have several others. I just like the way the games are cheaper, and so much more easier to just pick up and go then other systems that are a bit more complicated to transport and such.

My current Nintendo is so old, it is one of the very first models the ever hit the stands and has been having some minor issues that have got me wanting the new and more improved model that is currently being offered everywhere game systems are sold.
