Aside from the obvious, the part that got me about this story was that the pilot, after being confronted by passengers inside the airport terminal about the smell of alcohol on his breath, fled to a bathroom, changed out of his uniform, and tried to call in sick!
We’re not even allowed ON STAGE after drinking at Howl at the Moon. This guy was about to get behind the controls of an Orlando-bound 737 full of families headed to Disney World! He shouldn’t JUST be fired, he should be put in prison. Where’s my Precrime department???
Some more video I shot at the Amanda Palmer show in Atlanta in November 2008. The low-end frequencies of her keyboard just overpowered the tiny built-in microphone in my Cannon SD-440 camera, so the audio is kinda splattery.
But, you get a pretty good idea of how the Danger Ensemble really brings the audience into the show. I believe this performer’s name is Mark Hill and, as you can see, he came off the stage and hung out next to me for quite a lot of the song….never leaving character once. It was kinda creepy yet very surreal and really brought you into the performance. I’m looking forward to (hopefully) meeting them on Wednesday in New York at AFP’s New Year’s Eve party. And you never know…around midnight…I might just be standing near Tora
Can this be? Or am I dreaming? Wordbook claims to be able to do it, and this is me testing it. I’ll let you know how it goes. I suppose that if you’re seeing this on Facebook, then it works!!!! And if not, I just wasted about 30 minutes.
Update: It Works!
Well, sort of. What it does is post a message on your Mini-Feed that you have a new blog posting, including the subject of the blog, and a link to your blog. It only works with the downloaded version of WordPress (if you use the WordPress blogging service, you’re out of luck.
I realized that despite the fact that I loved my old Cold-Fusion-based Blog software, it’s just not as slick as this WordPress thingy. So, I’ve made the jump.
I’m going to me migrating all of my old posts over to this, but in the meantime, you can still access my old Blog here:
If you’re like me, you have old gadgets you don’t use anymore. Cell phones, PDA’s, laptops…whatever. I have a Dell Axim 50v PDA that might as well be a paperweight, an old digital camcorder, a laptop with a faulty battery, and several old cell phones.
I just signed up for this service called Gazelle. Go to their website, put in the model and brand of your worthless gadget, and they make you an instant offer. All you have to do is ship it to em…and they even pay for shipping. It’s capitalism at its finest…recycle your old gear for cash. Everybody wins!
I was offered $81 for my Dell Axim and $39 for my old T-Mobile cell phone. For items they couldn’t quote me right away, they promised an offer within one business day.
I don’t have the cash yet, but I’ll keep you posted. Or check it out for yourself:
The pure stupidity of this just amazes me. Kellogg’s has introduced LEGO-SHAPED fruit flavored snacks. I’m not kidding. This is a HUGE company…and not one person stood up in a meeting and said “hey guys, don’t ya think kids might see these and assume that ALL LEGOS are edible?” What’s next? Fruit-flavored shards of glass?
Gee, if only it were just this easy. I really want to know what the “Honey Point” is, though. Is he asking if he can call her “honey”? Or is this some pre-teen ritual using sweetners I am not aware of? And I think just about every guy that’s ever had a crush on a girl can relate to the last line.
