Hotlanta

Just spent a wonderful extended long weekend in Atlanta - to be known from this point on as Hotlanta. OMFG the men. So hot. So big and beefy. So many hot men. Is it something they put in the water? Or is it from the grits? Whatever it is, Hotlanta is the eye candy capital of the world. Excuse my while I wipe the drool off my chin....

Loved the food. Found some amazing restaurants, and also had the opportunity to have some authentic, down home, southern cooking. Who knew that sweet potatoes and marshmallows went so well together? Try as I may, I still can't develop a taste for grits though.

Hotlanta is also the Coca Cola Capital of the Universe. Everything there is Coke. As such we had to check out the World of Coke. Had to take some photos and a video too.


Coca Cola Jihad

What's that Han Solo? Are you making pudding?

Han Solo says "Would you like a cool, refreshing Coca Cola?"

Why yes I would. Thank you Han Solo!

One for the road.

Warm Leatherette

Laurie Anderson eat your heart out.



I just saw on TV that acid washed jeans and neon were back in. At this point I think it's fair to say anything goes, so I decided to bring back 80's performance art.

Warm leatherette melts on your burning flesh.
I can see your reflection in the the luminescent dash.

Jem vs Le Tigre

Haven't had the time to throw together a new vlog yet.  But this, this is like when you discovered that you liked chocolate and you liked peanut butter and then realized that they could come together and be yet another satisfying entity all its own.

GuiTard Hero

I have a guilty pleasure. But it's not my fault. I bought a Guitar Hero guitar and game as backup birthday presents for my nieces. You see, as a family we were going to get them Rock Band, but were having a difficult time finding the PS2 version. So I got those just in case.

I ended up finding Rock Band the day before and should have returned Guitar Hero. However curiosity got the best of me. I had to try it. The guitar had been staring at me for a week. So I gave in.



In case any of you were wondering, Rock Band is a hell of a lot of fun. It comes with a guitar, microphone and drum kit - you can also use your GH guitar as a bass. I got booed off while singing a Nirvana song. Obviously I need to stick to guitars.

Cloverfield Review

I don't think I could ever sit through Cloverfield again. Ever.

Take Two

Wow. Didn't think that I would drop off the blogosphere like that, but apparently I needed a break. Running your own business is a lot of work. I wish someone would have told me beforehand. But things are going very well and it was a very, very good decision. Happy I am.

So I've decided to try something a little different. Here's my latest post in video form. Is that called a vlog? A vblog? Vog maybe?

Silly Nazy

First of all I'd like to dish out a big thank you to everyone who showed up on Saturday night. I like being the center of attention, so thanks for indulging me. It meant a lot.

On a completely different note, I had to give up my Blackberry last week. I swear the last time I missed something this much was when I quit smoking. They call them crackberries for a reason. I'm getting another one, but still waiting for it to arrive. Consequently I'm stuck using Q's old RAZR phone. The arrow keys don't like to work sometimes - oh and my bluetooth headset just died this morning. I love the quality of craftsmanship these days.

The one plus is that I have a camera phone again. I find I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's great to be able to take snapshots of things you find immediately interesting. Take this picture for example.



It's hard to read, but the red letters read "Dec 1. Happy Birthday Jesus Party."



Graffiti is another favourite of mine. Especially when they don't know how to spell.
Can you find the grammatical error?

Saturday Night Drinks

Looks like we'll be at the Artful Dodger on Saturday night. I imagine we'll be there around 9:00 or so. Hope to see you all there!

Thanks for the suggestion Mme Rouge!

Time Machine Rules

I have to say that the money spent on Mac OSX 10.5 was well worth it. For those of you not in the know, it has an extremely easy to use, automatically automated backup program called Time Machine built right in. Tonight, while trying to get my Blackberry to sync with my mac (the horror stories I've heard are coming true), a contact was deleted from my address book. The address book is linked to my billing software, so consequently all billing info for that client disappeared. How fucking brilliant of the software developer.

Anyways, in a matter of one minute I fired up time machine, selected and restored the contact and billing software database and everything instantly came back. So thank you Apple, I'm almost willing to forgive you for making unnecessary and distracting 3D changes to the dock and menu bar, and for creating "stacks" which are an absolute UI nightmare.
