“Back in the Day”, I remember playing countless hours’ worth of B17 Bomber on my old handed-down Intellivision. I was never very good at the game, and since I’d lost all the little plastic inserts for the horrid Intellivision controller, I only had a vague idea of what the controls were. In the end, I had much more fun distorting the in-game voices by half-unplugging the ‘voice-synthesis’ module.

My sad heavy-metal fetish shows itself again: I’m listening to “I Am The Black Wizards” by Emperor. [I don’t think they noticed the disagreement between subject and predicate.] Anyway, the song starts out ‘YYYEAAARRGHGHGHGHHHH’. And then there’s some metal solo… then ‘UURGGH…. URRGHH… YEEAAAARRGGHH!’

You’ve just got to love songs that start out with screaming. I mean, what more could you want from a band?

If you exclude, of course, music.

Is my Blog HOT or NOT?

Definitely hot, because I follow all the memes.

Even though Doug thinks I need one of these in my apartment, I usually don’t drink plain coffee. How sad.

I hate Macromedia Flash. More precisely, I hate almost every instance of Flash I have ever seen, with the possible exception of Praystion.com. Why this abject loathing of Flash? Advertisements. One of the worst ways to try to sell me something via website advertisements is to plaster thirty swoopy dancing bouncing Flash ads over 80% of a website.

Since my primary browser is Mozilla, I normally block banner-ad servers as a matter of course. [Right-click the banner ad, “block images from this server”.] However, since Mozilla is still somewhat retarded, it isn’t possible to block Flash ads from the right-click context menu. Heck, it’s not even possible to find any information about these ads. Even better, Mozilla offers no Plugin preferences in the current versions.

Absolutely gorgeous: pixie-small with big brown eyes, pale complexion, and her black hair tied up in a red kerchief that matched her red lipstick.

“Having a good day?” I asked.

She grinned and rolled her eyes, “Good and bad.” She whispered, “I hate the guy I’m working with.”

I smile sympathetically.

“But today’s my last day, which is fun, but sad in a way.”

“Going to a new job?”

“No, I’m going to college.”

For those of you still on the PeeCee upgrade merry-go-round, the AMS GBox looks like a nice little LAN case.

I am Jack’s Jump onto the Bandwagon.

Google! DayPop! This is my blogchalk: English, United States, Atlanta, Smyrna, Eric, Male, 26-30!

Even in a city this size, with at least fifteen other webloggers, I’ve only met one in person who isn’t one of the original Flogeeks crew. If you know someone who shares common interests online, is it necessarily a good idea to meet them offline?

Woohoo! Knight Rider was such a great show … when I was ten.

Doug never got over the coolness of KITT, and even has his cellphone ringtone set to an ultra-loud KR theme song.

“Doug, KITT’s calling you from outside. He says some jerk in a Mercedes clipped your door, and wants you to go kick the guy’s ass.”
