  1. paul on scott’s “Spotify this...” Congratulations. I love the way music is being democratized.
  2. scott on scott’s “Sing along with me, California” Thanks for the kind words!
  3. Robert on scott’s “Sing along with me, California” Sounds great by the way!
  4. Robert on scott’s “Sing along with me, California” Must feel great to see all of your hard work paying off. :) So sorry to hear about your losses... What a terrible feeling that must have been. I can barely imagine.
  5. james on scott’s “Why the "Double Rainbow" is the good for you.” I was at the gym and a TV was on with subtitles. It was Fox News and all it said was "Obama's on vacation" while the rainbow video played. I was a little miffed at their bullshit likening of the mother fucking POTUS to a guy named Hungry B…
  6. scott on scott’s “Reading Poetry to the Lawn Mower” Agreed.
  7. tinypliny on scott’s “Reading Poetry to the Lawn Mower” Dude. You need to get out of the sun.
  8. scott on scott’s “I wish Apple took my privacy seriously” I still like my MacBook, but then again I use it for a home recording studio, which Linux just can't do at this time. (well not anywhere near as well as Logic or GarageBand can) It's just this one feature I really can't stand. Aside from t…
  9. paul on scott’s “I wish Apple took my privacy seriously” As a former iPhone owner (2g, 3g, 3gs) I am now much happier with android. Now as happy as I was dropping osx for linux but happier nonetheless. Usually, ease of use with apple means less options. Of course having less options appears easy.
  10. metalpeter on scott’s “I wish Apple took my privacy seriously” I don't have a cellphone but if I did this would drive me insane. I agree with you 100%. The Problem I have with apple is it seems there is this attitude of we are different and better and that they are linked. With this attitude you can't…
  11. metalpeter on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” Just had to say I fucked up I said the wrong Will Smith movie with i in. In terms of Irobot it is really more of a here is an idea that has been in anime movies and lets make it a live action movie.
  12. scott on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” Oh almost forgot... I Robot is a shitty action movie bastardization of the book by Isaac Asimov, not a zombie movie. Fido, however, is definitely the "cute & friendly" zombie flick, however, it is more of an indie movie than a Hollywood st…
  13. scott on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” I did leave out a ton of vampire movies... Salem's Lot, for example, is a great (and spooky) one. I also left out Bram Stoker's Dracula, as I have long tried to block out Wynona Rider and Keanu Reeves doing horrid English accents. The Hugh…
  14. tinypliny on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” And come on! Mr. Pegg's friend-zombie-who-ends-up-living-in-the-shed does fit the cute and cuddly description.
  15. tinypliny on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” True, but zombies have to stay in character or in other words, they need to kill some folks or eat some brains within 30 minutes of appearing on-screen (check the zombie guide if you don't believe me!). Otherwise they wouldn't be zombies! …
  16. metalpeter on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” Not sure if you are talking about the Twilight series or the newest movie, it doesn't matter really. As with Zombie Movies you have different kinds of movies with in that same type. Twilight (with out seeing the 3rd). Is more a movie about…
  17. scott on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” Awww shit. You're right about Fido. However, Fido does kill people as I recall. ;)
  18. tinypliny on scott’s “Pretty sure Vampires don't "sparkle" in sunlight” Hahaha - did you miss Fido? Zombies are already cute and cuddly. :)
  19. scott on scott’s “Watched 6 seasons of Lost...” Jacob's Ladder = A film starring Tim Robbins as a Vietnam Vet experiencing psychological issues that may or may not be real. (Just rent it, it's a good film that I refuse to spoil...) Lost = 6 seasons of a TV show that ends in a rip off of…
  20. tinypliny on scott’s “Watched 6 seasons of Lost...” Hmm - I don't intend seeing both. Could you please post a 1-2 line summary for the ADD-afflicted on e:strip?
  21. scott on scott’s “some mp3's and a muppet movie” I figured as much. The android app looks very convenient. I know apple's been a bit prickish with the app store, but just wondered if a port of the android app was forthcoming. It can't hurt to ask. :) I get a new phone every year (I work …
  22. paul on scott’s “some mp3's and a muppet movie” There is very little chance of an iphone app happening unless e:jim builds it. You can't make iphone apps from systems other than mac, and I don't have a mac since I switched to linux. Also you have to pay $100 to be an iphone developer an…
  23. fellyconnelly on scott’s “el palenque” oh yum i LOVE goop! hehe no seriously i think i'd have to check this place out sometime...
  24. leetee on scott’s “el palenque” e:Uncutsaniflush and i go there regularly... i have posted about it quite a few times, even. One of our fav TexMex places. The veggie options are pretty good!
  25. scott on scott’s “el palenque” the food's good, and cheap as hell, too. I think almost everything on the menu is $7 to $10. I love that place. I'm not Mexican, but I've heard the food is pretty authentic. Definitely worth a visit.
  26. libertad on scott’s “el palenque” I have been wondering about that place. You are correct, that is actually a cock fighting arena. I did look it up to make sure. Not sure if animal abuse for sport is such a great name for a restaurant, but hey it sounds cool.
  27. theecarey on scott’s “Happy New Year... Goodbye cubicle!!” haha, 'balloon embryos'. A friend and I have one of those gift certificates that we will be using there sometime soon. Good to know we should expect little and pay much..
  28. ruleofblue on scott’s “Happy New Year... Goodbye cubicle!!” you failed to mention that Shannon and I had a mouth full of salad when they cleared our plates. AND, a mouth full of dinner food when they came by to clear our plates again. "are you done with that?" Yank.
  29. paul on scott’s “Happy New Year... Goodbye cubicle!!” That pic of you and lance is awesome.
  30. jason on scott’s “testing out the blackberry curve” Damn, you get to work from home now? That would be SWEEEET!

  1. scott on scott’s “Sing along with me, California” Thanks for the kind words!
  2. scott on jbeatty’s “Fuck You Buffalo Rising!” Wow. People actually read Buffalo Rising?
  3. scott on paul’s “The cost of water” I think bottled water might be the highest product markup in the world.
  4. scott on jim’s “Oregon Trail cupcakes!” Something tells me these travelers will get eaten by wild animals long before they reach the west coast.
  5. scott on uncutsaniflush’s “Drag and Drop Test” Excellent summary of the different players (kernel vs desktop env) in linux for the non-linux user. Well said! (You should write those up in a separate post of their own!)
  6. scott on tinypliny’s “I love Chrome browser” FYI - The reason lots of these don't work on Chrome yet, I've read, is b/c Google Chrome doesn't have full Java support yet. (I don't know exactly what it needs, but that's what I found when I checked.) OVerall, WebEx is kinda crappy and o…
  7. scott on jim’s “Yup.” Nice! Didn't know that badge existed. If you follow Bravo (http://foursquare.com/bravo) and check into the Walden Galleria Mall itself, you'll get 3 secret badges: Bravo Newbie, Fashionista, and Real Housewife. (In case you don't have thos…

  13. scott on enknot’s “RROD” I got the RROD last year and M$ did repair my xbox in less than 2 weeks. I've since moved it to outside of my TV stand thingy, where it gets more air. So far, no signs of overheating. However, that's one lame-ass workaround. WTF.

  15. scott on paul’s “cut” This scrape looks lightly infected to me, but within the range of what Neosporin/Bactitracin can handle, I think. Toss one or the other on it and give it a day, and keep it covered. Then if it doesn't start to clear up, I'd say it's time t…
  16. scott on vincent’s “Oil Spill & Railfaning” Wanna hear something that'll fan the flames? When the NFTA's subway was being designed/built in the 70's, they had the option to build using the same trains used in NYC subways. However, palms got greased and the cars/track were purchased …

  18. scott on enknot’s “My service and duty as a freind” From what I've seen the pvs site is a good informational resource, if you actually want information before voting. My darlin' wife Chris (e:ruleofblue) tends to research them sites pretty well. I, personally, vote my throwing my dog's fece…
  19. scott on paul’s “At School WIth Terry” Oh how a miss large-scale lectures at UB! I preferred the anonymity of large lectures. Here's why: I had felt more free to learn at my own pace. I could really dial-in and participate in material I needed to focus on, as well as "zone out"…
  20. scott on scott’s “el palenque” the food's good, and cheap as hell, too. I think almost everything on the menu is $7 to $10. I love that place. I'm not Mexican, but I've heard the food is pretty authentic. Definitely worth a visit.
  21. scott on jim’s “VERY FUNNY UPS!” Can't be worse than DHL. They sent me an "overnight" part 4 weeks late. It did arrive in the AM, just 4 weeks after I ordered it. It appears that don't specify which night they ship over for "overnight" shipping.
  22. scott on ruleofblue’s “Green” I plan to use the earth until it's gone, like the good little virus I am.
  23. scott on enknot’s “Meanings of meanings...of neon bibles” Great song. Nice post!
  24. scott on jim’s “Windows Tech Support?” I've heard good things about "Nate's Computer & Typewriter" out of Niagara falls, NY. They do small biz winblows networking. http://www.nates.net/
  25. scott on jim’s “Speedracer the Movie” Wack. Some classics don't need to be rehashed.
  26. scott on paul’s “harassment training” I've never been trained to harass someone sexually. I always thought that was something a-holes did naturally.
  27. scott on paul’s “Baby Fern” Daaamn, T can make a pretty baby. Nice work. Well formed, looks smart. She has good fashion sense, too. (Although I cannot vouch for the unsavory characters she was eating lunch with!)
  28. scott on paul’s “I am not joining facebook ever” Facebook has it's place. It's in no way a blogging site like e:strip. However, it does a very good job of helping contact old friends, and has lots of time-wasting games and crap. To compare Facebook and E:strip is pointless, as the two si…
  29. scott on janelle’s “Life in cubicle land” No one wants a job in a cubicle. Those of us who work in them do so because we got a powerful need to eat food once in a while. Food costs money. To get money, we need these things called "jobs". Unfortunately, most jobs that pay enough mo…
  30. scott on ruleofblue’s “Dog Park Do's and Don'ts” There's always a risk of other dogs hurting your dog. In my experience, you're more at risk of a loose dog on the street approaching than at the dog park. There's literally 100's of dog encounters at the dog park every day, and only a hand…
