Ok I’m still obsessed with Chucknorrisfacts.com, (and with such quips as “Chuck Norris can divide by zero”, how can one not be?), but I’ve also got a life, and in this life I do websites, amongst other nefarious schemes to rule the world.
As such, I’ve recently come to encounter Drupal, which, in a sentence, is an open source content management system, and “can support a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites”.
One of the key elements of a conspiracy theory is that since it’s so far out you automatically consider it unlikely and laugh at yourself for even thinking it. You feel somewhat embarrassed for even conjuring it, even less will you discuss it openly.
But hell, as far as I can remember, I’ve always wondered aloud if manufacturers were keeping RAM prices so expensive.
The title is a phrase from Incubus’ Talkshows on Mute, then there is of course Orsen Wells’ 1984, the first Terminator story was set in 1984, and on May of that year, Australia released it’s first one dollar coin, a factoid I insidiously placed there purely to round out this paragraph, which of course is quite irrelevant and uninteresting, except of course to Australians.
At any rate I’m bringing your attention to 1984 because I’m about to talk about my car, which was first sold to its original owner in 1984, and is an otherwise uninteresting car if not for that fact.
At this point you might well discern that this post is about a car, and not about my usual subjects, such as tech reviews, writing and even basketball, and you will be correct. So those uninterested in said subject may well excuse themselves at this point.
Quick post. Happy to note my article about the Sony DSC-R1 SLR was well received, and by ‘well received’ I mean ‘noted’, ‘discussed’ and ‘critiqued’, which may or may not also mean that I was told I was wrong.
Let me put it this way. Imo, if someone takes time to tell you ‘dude, check out the Canon so and so model, better daw than the Sony’, I consider that ‘well-received’, because 1. they read it, and 2. they formed an opinion based on it. Agreeing with what I said is beside the point really. The point is to make people lend an interested ear.
Please allow me to introduce Gerald and mine’s latest project, the Podcast Exchange, a four month and counting (yes it’s taking us a loooong time) project that’s guaranteed to shake the very earth you stand upon.
Well no not really, I just said that cause it sounds nice.
I usually blog to warm myself up so I can start writing more, and boy o boy do I need warming up right now with 4 articles to go. So I took screenshots of the Sony Ericsson PC Suite installation when I installed it on a loaner Fujitsu laptop, similar to when I featured the Motorola Phone Tools Setup last November.
If anything, the recent trip to Malaysia (yes, I’m still going on about that), has made me realize one thing – that I should concentrate on writing. I know that sounds silly, given that seems to be the only thing I’m doing, but truth is I’ve never really given writing as much attention as I should.
Of course I got stories to tell re the Malaysian trip, but first things first, what everyone’s gotta see, here are the 5 new Nokia models due this April:
Several years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a day driving a Porsche. It started out as a cool morning, but gradually became hotter as the day progressed, and became nice and cool into the evening. I remember small things like that, because that day was special. I was driving a Porsche, and everyday is an ordinary day compared to the day you drive a Porsche.
The above paragraph is possibly one of the ways I’m going to start the article for my review of the absolutely astounding Sony DSC-R1 – Sony’s 10.3 megapixel marvel.
Three years ago I got involved in my first and only PR job. A friend’s diving company needed news exposure, and since I had been writing for quite a while at that point, I felt I had a good handle on how to get it for them. I also wanted to try it out, and besides I needed the money.
So we looked into their schedule of events, one of which just jumped out at me. Apparently, every so often they sink a car into the ocean to repopulate coral depleted areas. What’s more, an avid diver who happened to own an airplane repair shop decided to donate, of all things, the metal carcass of a long – dead helicopter.
