Well, while attempting this post, I discovered the Blogger.com has come out of Beta for the new version. You can even digg my post at http://www.digg.com/tech_news/New_version_of_Blogger_com_comes_out_of_Beta
It auto updated all of the blogs that I write on blogger.com.. took it about 10 minutes to finish. Guess I have a lot of old crap in there. :)
Now the reason for the post...

Long time, No Blog
Just a quick blog to mention that Foo Fighters may be the best rock band since the Beatles. I've always been a Foo Fan..but having seen them live, you start to realize just how many great songs they have, and just how much Dave Grohl kicks ass. He was hysterical and rocked like no other. I wish I had a chance to see one of their acoustic shows, but the concert was just hard rocking great songs, withou much flash.
I saw OK Go for the first time a few years ago.. I think they were opening for They Might Be Giants in Indy. If you haven't seen their new video, or heard their new song, I'd highly recommend checking it out on you tube here.
I also linked to my myspace page on the side bar.
Oh yeah, and I bought another domain name. Http://www.migrateeverything.com. Not much there now, but the idea is to make a quick page with directions on how to migrate server services to new servers.

As some of you may know, I am the semi-proud owner of a couple of domain names. One of those struck me in the middle of the night and I had grand visions for www.NairMyBack.com ..unfortunately, not much ever became of it. But If I do decide to do soemthing with it, I hope it is half as funny as this site!! This is hyesterical. Make sure you click on the questions..

So...You've got some good dirt on someone.. and you think you might be able to cash in on it. Well, then here's the website for you! Extortr.com. Step 1) Upload blackmail photo. Step 2) Send anonymous email demanding payment. Step 3) get paid or let the pic go public.
New jobby job is going great. I'm off to Microsoft from July 9 - 15 to do some work with Longhorn.. pretty excited about seeing MS's campus.. and I've never been to Washington.

I just got this link to one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while. It's like real life Napolean Dynamite inspired skit at a talent show I think..nonetheless.. it's pretty entertaining..

Maybe it's just my goofy sense of humor, but this story about 80 people getting together wearing blue shirts and khaki pants decending on a best buy store for a prank is funny as hell.

HOW TO POOP AT WORK
We've all been there but don't like to admit it. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORKPOOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, the following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.
CROP DUSTING:
When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.
FLY BY:
his is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.
ESCAPEE:
This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.
JAILBREAK:
When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just
occurred.
COURTESY FLUSH:
The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of airtime the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.
WALK OF SHAME:
Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. This very uncomfortable walk can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.
OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER:
This is a colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.
THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N):
A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.
SAFE HAVENS:
A Safe Haven is a seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.
TURD BURGLAR:
This is someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
CAMO-COUGH:
A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall is called a Camo-Cough. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. The Camo-Cough isvery effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.
ASTAIRE:
An Astaire is a subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.
WATERMELON:
A watermelon is a big poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
HAVANA OMELET:
A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an Astaire.
UNCLE TODD:
An Uncle Todd is a bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. This person could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Todd makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as other bathroom attendees.
Hope the Survival Guide helps, as the WORKPOOP is an inevitable part of life.

The Superbowl happened....so I hear. A pretty hefty bar tab was ran up at BW-3's, so I remember watching a lot of the key plays, but I missed the best part; the commercials. Luckily, Google video is hosting them all at http://video.google.com/superbowl.html.

I ordered my "Mr. Pibb + Red Vines = Crazy Delicious" T-Shirt. I especially like it because all proceeds go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. While doing some searching for a text version of the lyrics to Chronic (what?) cles of Narnia, I found the link to "The Lonely Island". They have some great stuff on that page. I particularly liked this one.. Nintendo.
Also, it has come to my attention, several times, that I dissed my homegirl Rachel while giving props to my homeboy Bob on the discovery of Chronic (What?) cles of Narnia. Apparently Rachel had told me all about this several weeks ago and I hadn't seen or heard of it then. My apologies.

Here's a good one. Thank to Bob for sending this to me. http://www.nbc.com/nbc/Video/?c=Saturday_Night_Live/snl_1432_narnia&n=saturday_night_live It's the Chronic What als of Narnia! Pretty geeky and still hysterical. I happened to catch SNL this week, and glad I did cause it was the re-run of the Dane Cook guest host. I've been a big fan of Dane for about.. 5 years now. The monologue had me in tears.

I opted to post this link on bradmyers.com instead of my geek blog (http://sys4dmin.blogspot.com) in hopes that more of you might recognize the power and ease of using RSS. Here's a great link that gives some ideas of things to do with RSS. RSS is really just a way to have webpages come to you (via an application, a plugin for outlook or some other email app, or via a personalized homepage like those on http://live.com or personalized google page or yahoo). Here's the list..

Do Yourselves A Favor....
Run... Don't Walk.. over to the Tiki Bar and grab em all. I realized the other day that I was likely behind a couple of episodes, so I just got around to watching them tonight. Tiki Bar TV is hands down some of the best content on the internet. There's just something relaxing and fun about watching Johnny Johnny, La-La, and Dr. Tiki whippin up some drinks.

Now working with Firefox
Not sure what the problem was with the CSS template from blogger, but I kinda made a work around so that this page should now look somewhat more proper in firefox. It's not perfect, but now those of you, both of you, should be able to read the page.

While checking out Google's Videos today, I ran across this one.. which I thought was pretty catchy. The internet is for porn...as done by World Of Warcraft. Also, make sure to check out the google video of the day site. Google is making a lot of deals with CBS and other networks, but more about that on my geek site.
Here's some other good vids..
Street performer juggling a soccer ball
Tom Cruise Kills Oprah *short but funny*
I STILL Love the farting preacher... Can't get enough.
Gold Digger Parady for the Freshman 15
Check out this guys skillz... Closest thing I've seen to real life video game moves
So much quality content from people everywhere...reminded me to mention http://www.youtube.com where all the content is submitted by you.

New Year...New Blog..
I've decided to make some changes. Since I've been posting so much stuff lately that friends and family probably find completely boring (and I still can't imagine why that is...), I've created another blog that will contain mostly the geeky things that I find interesting. I'll continue to post to this blog with pictures and other goofy things, but anything that is more IT based will be put on the new blog at http://sys4dmin.blogspot.com. Remember that you can still customize your Google or Yahoo homepage with the site feeds and keep up on both at the same time.
Happy New Year to everyone..

New TWiT.. Good Links.. Google still kicking ass and Interesting Conversations
There's a new TWiT out this week which I thought was one of the more interesting ones I've heard in a while. Check it out. Some of the better topics are a website called Yelp which uses social bookmarking combined with restaurant reviews and other things. Kind of an interesting use of social networking. Ron, a co-worker, also pointed me to this Web 2.0 website, http://www.tagworld.com, that is similar to del.icio.us and blogger and flickr.
After reading this article in eweek about the buying of "virtual items" and using third world slave labor to build up characters in MMORPG's in order to sell these items, a co-worker, Randy B. (named changed to protect the innocent), took it one step further and thought about starting his own Sim-Life website using slave labor. Think of the joy you could have knowing that you are causing some kid in china to jump up and down for hours a day by paying him $.25.
Google released their ZeitGeist for 2005. This shows all of the most popular searches of the year. Pretty interesting stuff.
I'll be attending CES this year for the first time. As the weekend gets closer, and the emails keep coming in regarding what will be unveiled, I'm gettin more excited. I've heard rumblings about using slingbox with your cell phone to get tv shows delivered from your home directly to you. Jason sent this link talking about the topic.
I'm hoping to post my OPML file soon so that both of you that read this webpage can track what geek stuff I'm reading daily.
HEY GOOGLE! Why not allow OMPL imports and exports from my personalized google page to make this easier?
