Uncle Milton has a little Competition

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

First of all, who is Uncle Milton?  Well, Uncle Milton is the founder of an exclusive ant farm club that ant farm lovers can join to express their love for ants and all things ant farms.  The benefit of having a membership in this exclusive hipster organization became all too apparent one afternoon back in East Lansing when a few friends and I decided to head to the bar for a day of drunken goodness.

Being in a bar surrounded by beautiful women, my good friend Mr. Zach Walworth decided that this would be an excellent opportunity to show off his well-founded relationship with Uncle Milton and Uncle Milton’s wonderful ant farm club.  As a registered member, Zach happened to have his club card in his wallet.  After a few drinks, he began walking around the bar showing off his membership ID to many of the attractive girls present. Of course, as one could expect, these girls could not appreciate the magnitude of “hip-ness” that was to be had by hooking with Zach and spending the night with a well established player in the world of ant farms.

After many attempts with the ladies, Mr. Walworth decided to roll up the card (which happened to be paper) and smoke it.  His membership went up in flames…

Anyways, I present to you the ultimate ant farm.  And in case Zach ever decides to re-enter the wonderful world of ant farms, he will no longer need to turn to Uncle Milton to get him the ladies, he can now instead carry around a glowy blue ant farm.  That should do the trick.

Wow, 5 days

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I cannot believe that 5 days have gone by since I last blogged.  I’ve been so insanely self-absorbed with the multitude of things I’m working on creatively.  My mind is racing a few million miles a minute right now.  I have been doing an insane amount of reading/coding/rockin’ out the past week.  Let’s just say that all the things that are going on around me have me excited to no end!  I really can’t go into specifics of exactly what those things might be at this current point in time– but they are amazing.

Anyways, I am in the midst of troubleshooting a few things, so once I can get my head wrapped around ‘em I will hop back on here and deliver some real content!  Ciao!

The Trews

Check out this awesome band I discovered tonight while listening to my station (”Bashin Brains”) on Pandora

Their name is The Trews

Check out their myspace page for a quick listen to some of their tunes or you can even download this mp3 straight from their site.

MySpace servers suck…

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

As simply put as the title states.  You would think that with all that ad revenue the site pulls in they’d be able to handle some traffic.  YouTube serves up serious streaming media to what looks like an even wider audience base (after insane traffic spikes to the site over the past few months) and I don’t recall that site ever going down as often or have as many errors popping up…  I digress but it’d be nice if MySpace would take heed and invest in some more power.  Maybe Google will buy them out and MySpace can be hosted at Googleplexes throughout the country =)

Oh speaking of social networking… check out http://www.eons.com - social networking for 50-plus’ers.  Looks like the guy who founded Monster.com is behind it.  Kind of an interesting idea.
