Definitely Not the Babes of Baywatch
thane May 4th, 2008
Today I was looking for a tape for Tory, and I accidentally dropped a VHS tape of “The Cat in the Hat”. When it hit the floor, some of the plastic broke, much to Tory’s chagrin. In an effort to fix it, I started looking around for a tape to cannibalize for parts. A few weeks back, Joh and I threw away pretty much every tape we had that we didn’t care about, so pickings were pretty slim. Then Joh reminded me about “the Tapes”.
See, when we moved into the house, under the basement stairs we found a set of 3 soft core porn tapes. We never bothered to watch them, but they have made for some laughs. Anyway, I took one of those, took it apart, and rehoused “the Cat in the Hat” inside that. Then I used a sharpie to mark the tape with the word “Not”, just in case anyone thought that they were actually going to get to watch “Babes of Baywatch”.

I swear I did this before, but I can’t find the post.
My score goes to 30 if I get into good shape.

Macworld Bloopers

These are some of the greatest moments of the Macworld keynotes. Forget the announcements, the guest start, Schillermania, the Apple store openings and the number of iPods sold to grandmothers over the last year. This is what it is all about.
Mixin’ It Up At The Pool
thane June 21st, 2007
Today, Tory and I went to the pool. We hadn’t been in a while, and we had a great time, but that is not what I am writing about. At the pool the Street Team from Jammin’ 95.5 was spinnin’ wax. Now, normally, I am not a big fan of Hip Hop, but DJ Jerm taught me something. Even Hip Hop can be made worse by a DJ who is full of himself and tries too hard. He seemed like he knew the basics of mixing (as there were no train wrecks) but he kept scratching and slamming the fader like he was doing someone a favor. Yee gads and little fishes! Someone stop him before it’s too late!
Now, as I was thinking this, I also thought “Maybe I don’t get it. Maybe mixing hip-hop is just that much different than mixing house.” So I asked a young man who seemed to be enjoying himself and fit the radio stations demographic. “He does too much.” I rest my case.
So, the sentence I hand down to DJ Jerm is this: Until such a time as it is proved that you have learned moderation and modesty you shall be forbidden from having slip-mats. Additionally, you shall be banned from any mixing board that does not have at least a 1/2 second delay on the cross fader.
