Sarah was looking at a Playboy till Megan reminded her the cam was on:

Sarah's first copy of Twin Peaks on DVD (sans pilot, *sniff*)

Little Sarah liked the bottle. Big Sarah does too.

Tonight we're raging at Pow! here in SF. It's my buddy Jack's new CD release party.... good times! Wanna feel his groove? Come on by if you're in the hood.
July 10, 2003 in Random Random, fairly useless knowledge. I'm in heaven!
July 9, 2003 in Random So as I mentioned during the top of TSS today, I'm blogging about everything going on behind the scenes on le Screen Savers, live, bit by bit.
A block: Foo Foo has eaten all of my cookies. Justin's our first caller, but he's SOL since he had his TV turned up (we asked you not to do that, Justin!) and the audio delay confused him and we had to hang up.
B block: My buddy Adrian Lamo is a little nervous about all the people in the audience, but I tell him to just look at Leo and don't be nervous! He's doing great. Very smart guy. Very interesting green eyes. Before the show he showed off for me and pulled up almost every address I've lived at within the last 10 years. And that's a lot.
C block: Kevin and Leo are Dark Tipping. Ah, those crazy boys and their soldering! (Before the show, I was drumming on the table at the lab and Yoshi yelled at me for interrupting his solder sesh.) Meanwhile, Pat's sitting at homebase surfing desertrides.com. He thinks nobody's paying attention. Hmmm.... Jessica's reading the chat room posts and giggling at something somebody wrote (I saw my name! I saw my name!!), and Dan's taking calls for later on in the show.
Commerical break between C and D blocks: Paul comes over to the nook to tickle me. I HATE being tickled!!! But I laugh anyway because that's what happens when you get tickled and so the joke continues. Grrrrr. Kevin comes over to ask how his segment was and I say it was very good, dear, and give him a cookie.
D block: Tivo Hacks! We're having a little Tivo hiccup in our segment. Nothing's happening on screen. Ick ick. Leo and Pat are doing their best to improvise, but it always really sucks when stuff like this happens live. The show must go on, and so it does. Thank god I work with my boys- they're total pros!
Commercial between D and E: Paul tries to tickle me again. I kick him. He runs. Kevin's back but the cookies are gone. He sulks. Yoshi's chatting on AIM with someone whose handle I don't recognize.
E block: An incredible explanation of the making of the skeletons in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is happening at the bench. I'm not listening because I'm thinking of Johnny Depp. He was on Inside the Actor's Studio the other night, and I was riveted!! Ok, back to the show..
Commercial between E and F: Jessica puts Paul in a headlock for tickling me a third time. Meanwhile, Yoshi's trying to figure out why Brad Pitt is my favorite actor (yes, he beats Johnny and George Clooney). I tell him Brad's a god, but he's not satisfied with my answer. Jessica says hers is Matthew McConaughey and I jeer at her.
F block: Something happens.
G block: For some reason Jessica decides to give me a piggyback. Damn, the girl is strong. Seriously!! We hijack Pat and Leo's final emails and fade to black.
That was my Tss. Live. blog. I hope you liked it.
July 6, 2003 in Web/Tech I really love you guys. Why? Because you send me neat ideas all day long.
My favorite over this nice long weekend came from Phillip, who tipped me off to Zempt, yet another alternative way to update your MT blog without actually logging into your MT Main Menu. Why Zempt? Well, for starters I'm adding this entry without being connected to the Internet and having to log in. And I have a Spell Checker, along with other Word-like features (see my screen capture
for a better idea) And I can preview my post just by tabbing over. Fun!
But it's not perfect for a few reasons... I cannot seem to find a way to upload a file (image or otherwise) the way I can inside MT. How annoying! Will someone please let me know if I'm overlooking an incredibly obvious solution? Because if you're a frequent pic poster as I am, this lack of feature is a HUGE drawback!
I'm also having a problem getting my line breaks recognized. For example, I'm adding BR tags between paragraphs to avoid posting a huge block of text that runs together. Lame.
Update: checking out Mike's suggestion- w.bloggar- now.
Update #2: OMG! w.bloggar is the shiiiat! Zempt can't currently compete. I guess I jumped the gun yet again in my quest for a perfect blog experience. It's all a big experiment, kids! And you know what? I enjoy testing out similar software, finding flaws, and making software choices based on my findings. Maybe I'm a scientist after all.
I'm wishing I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. I want the weekend to last, and last, and last....(name that commercial)
July 3, 2003 in Random I feel smart. I wanted a button just like the new Blogger button on Google Toolbar 2.0, so I made one! Whee!
I explain how to do it in this week's Blog Report. Give it a read, and then get busy making one of your own! I'm curious to see how much better yours looks than mine.
Yesterday was Sumi's goodbye party at a little bar called the Monkey Club. Good times were had by all, and some blasts from the past of TechTV showed up too! Bye Sumi. I'll miss your incredible professionalism, intelligence, and wit!
Somewhere in the middle of goodbyes I invented a new drink called Stoli Vanilla and seltzer. Actually, I'm sure it's been done before, but I'll take credit anyway. I've decided tonic is horrible and shouldn't be consumed (have you ever tried straight tonic water? It's revolting), so I gave seltzer a go. Soooo much better. Aces!
And....drum roll please.... the winner of my blogger.com test page challenge from my last entry is:
MATT C!!!!!!!
Matt, you've just received my first annual Lifetime Achievement Award!
(The theater swells with uplifting music)
Toodles for now, my scarlet begonias.
