Wordpress welcomed to the realm of social networking: Buddy Press

We just came across this new stuff: BuddyPress. Sounds like BuddyPress is giving Wordpress and Movable Type a much-needed head start.

With social networking becoming so popular, this is sure to bring Wordpress blogs to the next level. I’m excited to see how well this works out!

Pandora Dashboard widget for Mac

I just found this nice dashboard widget for Pandora. Works pretty well, and it’s really nice because everytime I’m listening to browser-based music, I end up closing the window. Sure I’m pretty good about keeping windows open, but come on, it’s a browser. The windows will end up getting closed.

So this solves that. Seems to work great so far!

Dogs should not wear clothes

That’s really all I have to say about that.

When you meet someone you’d like to go out with…

She’s engaged! How many times has this happened? Am I only attracted to engaged chicks? I guess so.

Let’s get rid of the world wide web!

People have been using the www prefix for quite some time. It was originally supposed to allow companies to have multiple servers, and one (labelled via www) would serve their websites.

In reality, most companies couldn’t afford all these different servers. But for some reason, www is still being used.

Here’s a site about deprecating www. I agree with this site. Check it out: http://no-www.org/.

A List Apart: Web Designer/Developer Survey 2008

This was a pretty good survey, and I’m very interested to see the results. If you’re in the web design/development field, you should take this survey. A List Apart has a pretty good reputation on web design and development, and their survey reulsts I’m sure will be interesting.

My ringtone can fly higher than an eagle!

I took a sample of the wonderful Crocodile Dundee theme song, and I looped it for my phone. Now when my phone rings, I hear the beautiful sounds of Crocodile Dundee. And it’s the chunk of the score when they’re in Australia, not in New York, so it’s really good.

But check it out, Apollo Creed also enjoys the score. In fact he got so excited that he flew around town, in his super A cape. Check it out here at apollocreedtravels.com!

Is Bud still an American Beer?

Now, I am a beer snob. But I do enjoy a hefty amount of canned Bud-Light, especially when playing some music with the guys. Bud-Light is–as my dad referred to it–utility beer.

But it looks like Anheuser has been sold to a Belgian company, InBev. So is my utility beer still a staple of the American life? Will the new company have any effect on the beer? Think it’ll get better or worse? Stay the same? Who knows.

New electronic music; robot band? the Trons

Tom sent me this link, and both being musicians (sort of) and programmers (yes, real programmers), we were a bit intrigued.

I always said that electronic music was becoming way too automated, to where anybody can just sit down and make something that sounds ‘good.’ That’s pretty much one of the main reasons I stopped making electronic music. I much prefer racking a set of guitar strings with my bloody fingertips and belting (I guess we could call it that) into a mic, all the while getting sweaty and tired. Beer of course shows its face quite frequently at these events.

But really, is electronic music gonna become this? Either way, this Trons band is pretty cool to watch.
