I hate April Fools

Oh, stupid stupid Internets, when will you stop trying to fool everyone with your silly silly posts.
By the way, did you guys hear about the new subcompact that doubles as a tablet that Apple is launching tomorrow?

Dear blog:

I miss you.
One of these days, I hope to have something to say again that I haven’t already twittered away.
Yours,
C.K.

I just installed the Twitter WordPress plugin…

… so this is a test to see if the stuff I blog gets auto-tweeted.

Krissy keeps talking about babies…

… but we’re not planning on having one until about a year from now at the earliest. Nevertheless, I thought I’d ask everyone out there in Internetland: what are the best baby websites for planning and maintaining a baby? Of course, I know Blogging Baby, but that is about the extent of my knowledge.
Let me [...]

This is crap.

Check out this Kabbalah video: P E R C E I V I N G R E A L I T Y.
It’s well-produced, but severely flawed. The universe isn’t benevolent and filled with endless pleasure outside that box. It’s a chaotic combination of all those things and all their polar opposites along with all the [...]

Spartan Workout

Check out the workout used for 300:

For example, to hasten Butler’s mind-body transformation, he created what he calls the “300-rep Spartan workout.” (Trust us, 100 reps is plenty hard.) (*2) It goes like this: Without resting between exercises, Butler performs 25 pullups, 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds, 50 pushups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box, [...]

If so, my brother is graduating from Texas A & M’s graduate program in Architecture and he’s on the market for a job.

What’s up, C.K.?

Well, I’ve been twittering. I’ve been playing my new Wii. I’ve also been shopping. I went to Best Buy yesterday and picked up a $20 component switch box, so my HD Cable box, my PS3, and my Wii all reach my wall-mounted 32″ HDTV via the same hidden cable, which makes my wife happy. I [...]

Google Apps won’t let me correct their mistake…
So, I signed up for Premier Edition of Google Apps with sampletheweb.com, but they listed it as www.sampletheweb.com, so all email addresses were @www.sampletheweb.com, instead of [...]

Wii

So, I had a meeting in the city this morning and on the way to the meeting, I passed the Nintendo World store. It was 9:12 am. There was a line of people. I went inside. “Got the wii?” “Yes.” Me: “Enough?” “Enough for this line, yes.”
So I bought one.
I was 15 minutes late [...]

Waiting in an airport…

So, I’m at LAX waiting on my flight. A morning flight to New York was canceled and there are about 125 people on standby for every subsequent flight throughout the day. People are losing it. I was plugged into the power outlets over by the telephones earlier and one lady was on the phone with [...]

iMedia Connection: Good vs. Evil in the Age of Open Media

The podcast of Jason’s keynote is up: iMedia Connection: Good vs. Evil in the Age of Open Media.
Someone screwed up on the encoding though. At about 24 minutes in, the MP3 speeds up and Jason sounds like a chipmunk for the next 4 minutes.
It’s pretty funny.
Hope they fix it soon though. It kind of [...]

I have a feeling Chicago is going to win…

Holy crap. Touchdown right off the bat.
I have a feeling this is going to be a slaughter. I hope the commercials are good.
Update: And now you know why I never bet on sports.
