Tumblr Joomla Extension ??
Just looking in my stats and found a fair amount of search requests from folks looking for a Tumblr extension for Joomla.
Someone more clever than me should set about making one of those!
Spent today sleeping off the trip to Evansville and back to see Jessie graduate capped off by the LOST season 4 finale party.
I went to my aerobics class this afternoon only to find out it was Friday and not Thursday at all. Oh right. Thursday was LOST day.
Then I forgot about Matt’s cookout, so I missed it. FRIDAY. ugh. I decided to write today off as a loss and just stay home and...

Lost Podcasting Network →
That was a lot of stuff to talk about.
Discussions abound.
This interview with David →
about Tumblr reminded me that I must have lost Leo Laporte & Amber MacArthur’s Net@Nite Podcast where I originally heard an interview with David and then checked out Tumblr.
Everything he’s saying is exactly my experience. Well except for the part about CREATING Tumblr I mean. I just sort of moved over to it.
It also reminded me that I have a secret crush on him. Shhh…...

Some Long Island drivers are turning back the clock, taking advantage of a price break caused by antiquated gas pumps that can’t charge them more than $3.99 a gallon.

Jay and Jack are advertising gk2gk.com so I gave it a look.
Wow. There’s some serious geeks on there.

The Entertainer was one of my favorite “characters” so I’ll be happy to see him back on my TV, but I think I believed Hoopz was above this sort or thing.

I did one too.
I put it on my “About Me” Page which I’m still trying to decide what exactly goes on that…
Shoes On or Shoes Off? →
Long discussion on the topic from every possible angle.
Personally I think you need to have a certain familiarity level with a person before you bare your feet.
I don’t want strangers coming over to my house and taking off their shoes, but it’s ok if I know you. For me it’s kinda like the same thing as if you were to take off your belt.
In the next couple of weeks
Jessie graduates, LOST Season 4 finale, crank! moves back, Ross starts promotions for his new album, Death Angel plays Columbus, and I start a new job.

Tumblr slang
From samreich:
Just some ideas. Reblog and add your own!
The Tumblahs - Having nothing to post.
Tumbladder - A term used to describe the frequency of one’s posts. (Example: “Jake posts all the time. He has a small Tumbladder.”)
Tumblazed - Being stoned and browsing Tumblr.
Tumbummed - That disappointing moment when you realize you’ve read everything on your dashboard.
Tumbluff -...
Napster rolls out all-MP3 DRM free download store →
I appreciate the effort to stay afloat, because I like their subscription service. Can’t beat paying $15 a month to put whatever I like on my mp3 player whenever I feel like it.
But I think improving the service by getting ALL the record companies to allow subscription downloads, and supporting more devices would be a better way for them to go.
Two more weeks before I start my new job
That gives me time to enjoy my freedom while I still have it.

Marco doesn't like "hard" music →
In his “weird things about me” post he tells the tale of his friend explaining “its appeal as a way to relate to his inner anger.” and then goes on to say he has no inner anger and therefore does not like this music.
I’m just throwing in my 2 cents worth as a lifelong metalhead…. It’s not only a misconception that metalheads are angry… its one of...

69 sonnets
Dawn: So I met this one guy and then he IMmed me when I got home and he had a 69 in his screenname :-/
Mark: wow. you'd think he'd have a different name for real life people.
Dawn: you'd think. but he had no shame. In fact he was absolutely confused why I'm 'not flirty' because I was trying to steer him away from double entendre about my cat.
Mark: Why doesn't anyone write sonnets anymore?

Dawn on Windows Vista
Everyone knows Vista sucks, but what they don’t tell you is that Vista Home Basic actually sucks a lot less than the Premium version. It’s a lot less quirky and easier to gain some sort of control over.
At least that’s been my experience.
Andy Rooney has no ringtones
Just saw Best Week Ever make fun of Andy Rooney for this piece where he shows us his 1970s telephone that he “can’t get along without” and wishes someone would invent ringtones.
and he’s totally serious.
I got a job
Not cause I tried real hard or anything. One of my former bosses recommended me to his wife to work for her in her home office. Even more casual and flexible than my last job and pays even better.
This means I’m not moving anywhere good in any hurry, so I have mixed feelings but I like having spending money so it’s back to work I go.

My neighbors are having a loud party and blasting sad country ballads.
