Well, it’s not live anymore, but YouTube doesn’t do broadcasting like Ustream, it just lets you use your webcam to make grainy (or really, teeny) videos.

Cool nonetheless. And it gives me something to do while I wait for my Mac developer kit — which includes Quartz Composer (WATCH OUT!) — to finish downloading.

In the future, I will try to adhere to the ol’ 30 second rule…

So, where is it?

It fell victim to a scummy spammer who took over our web servers and was re-directing our traffic to other, random web sites.

And now, we’re back up and running (for all 2 or 3 of you who may care), but without the side bar, for now.

I may have to make a whole new one ’cause I wrote this Wordpress plug-in to put random quotations next to the calendar, and it lost it’s mind — or, rather its database.

But we are limping along nonetheless…

Yet another parody using that old Hitler movie. This one’s about JB Handley (as Hitler) and the antivax kooks over at Age of Autism.

Coutesy of Heraldblog.

I’ve always wondered why I could never drive very well, even if I did learn how to drive safely after getting into several accidents. It’s in my genes:

No need to curse that bad driver weaving in and out of the lane in front of you — he cannot help it, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.

They found that people with a particular gene variant performed more than 20 percent worse on a driving test than people with a different DNA sequence.

The study may explain why there are so many bad drivers out there — about 30 percent of Americans have the variant, the team at the University of California Irvine found.

Now, I’ve not been tested as my health insurance probably won’t cover it — it’s all I can do to manage to pay the premiums (and forget those deductibles) — but this may be the reason for that five foot-long dent in the side of my truck…

Here is some music I created in my virtual studio. I wrote all of them as MIDIs in Cakewalk on a PC, and then converted them to MP3s with GarageBand on an iMac.

Truth to tell, I can’t actually play all that well (and some parts of my songs probably can’t be played by humans anyway) but I understand music theory well enough to write music on a computer, which can play every note perfectly.

It’s lots of fun. But go ahead and tell me I suck, if that’s what ya think — anything’s better than being ignored.
