One of my favorite directors (and I don't really care about directors) is Spike Jonze. He's mostly done music videos and commercials. I just found out that he did an Ikea ad that I found quite funny. So in honor of that...

Ikea Lamp Ad

I've written about this before.. I should probably search for it..
And to clarify, hits means unique hits, different ips.

I had reported that I get about 250 nique hits a day, and mostly from a video I posted. (About 4 out of 5 of the hits were for the video opposed to the main page) And so today I check back and I'm now getting on average 500 hits a day.

Why?

Well all this was prompted by me browsing my stats again (same thing happened last time…

Well I like the show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Recently they had the idea to have lots of ads as their main set. You know, the Sunset Strip.

Well, I shouldn't have any more comment spam, my blog isn't the sunset strip.

I suppose you'd call this a live blog?

The event of an evening! PETRA LIVES!

My raid, my backup server, it's now named (hold on.. I got to log into it, setting up drivers and whatnot..) Petra!

I decided to revive the name since the old Petra couldn't possibly still be around anymore. She was my first server! and she was stolen by Stuyvesant high school back in 2001. I could still access her up until 2003 when she was rooted and I moved all my cra…

I've been.. distant lately.

From this blog anyway.

Been working a lot, two jobs. Knothe, a mens aparrel company (mostly mens sleepware) where I manage about 30 users and computers, and do mundane (yet occatinally interesting) tasks with the production database. And Wizard Computing, where I go to clients offices after work or on saturday to fix things, or install phone systems, or servers.

Servers..
I'm playing a lot with Microsoft's 2003 Small B…

Well the raid still isn't working...

I'm kinda bumbed out about it.

Btw I don't think I've mentioned I've got a 9-5 job now.

ME <--- sold out

I've been there 3 months and I think it's working out well. It's easy work but it's constant and it pays well. And as of the other day it's paying a little weller. (Shush, it's a word today.) A paycheck isn't quite rent yet, and the state of nj decided to screw me over again, and I just paid for all this ha…

PS. I know we haven't spoken in so long, and here I come just flaunting my new raid... I'll make it up to you baby, promise.

I'd like to thank all the people who helped move yesterday. Those who didn't have to ;-)

Cassie, Jason, Nick, Bill, Sarah, and John, you guys rock.

As for my flatmates, you guys rock too. I think this is going to work out well for us. =)

Just no more condensed Green Tea, OK Mike? It's not worth it, can't be good for you man. (It's not being good for me.)

Also Thanks to Em, and Marcel for my bed (worth every dollar, though it does squeak a bit).

J…

I'm moving this weekend.

Buy my shoes!

Thank you =)

No actually, really free. Honest to god.

Cd's used, mine no less. Actual original CDs, I do buy music sometimes, you know.

Villans by The Verve Pipe

Heavy Surveillance by Dilated Peoples

While we sleep by the Shulman System (Jazz - good jazz)

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Horrorscope by Eve6

All free, first come first serve. I may give priority to anyone who helps me move.

PS If I don't know you, you can't help me move, unless I'm convinced …

I wish I had enough photos of today to make a comic. I went to the beach and the waves were fantastic. Like amazingly large and destructive. And by destructive I mean they kicked my ass. For example, I remember talking to Nick and Jason (who happened to be about 5 - 10 feet in front of me) and then a wave came, and Nick and Jason were about 10 feet above me. Now this wouldn't be a very good example if the wave didn't then crash on top of me and d…

I am so bad at making comics. At least this one is a little more.. together...

Montauk has been rain delayed. Anyway I need to convince people it's worth the $30 dollar train ticket (round trip).

I'm going to Montauk saturday, meet me there =)
