The Matrix Revolutions Kicks Unholy Ass

Posted on November 29, 2003 by Joey Gibson

I just got back from seeing The Matrix Revolutions and may I say that it totally ROCKS! I went into this film with some trepidation due to the large number of negative reviews I’d read, but I was not disappointed. … Continue reading →

New Version of My Google Blosxom Plugin

Posted on November 26, 2003 by Joey Gibson

I’ve finally gotten around to updating my Google plugin for Blosxom that’s been languishing for several months now. No longer must you use the cheesy ‘KW:’ style keywords; I now use the Meta plugin, so you can add a meta-google_keywords: … Continue reading →

DIE, Comment Spammers, DIE!

Posted on November 25, 2003 by Joey Gibson

I’ve grown extremely tired of these ass-hat comment spammers who have nothing better to do than deface websites with ads for their ridiculous ‘products’ and pr0n sites. I took the entire comments system down a while back as a stopgap, … Continue reading →

Posted on November 22, 2003 by Joey Gibson

We just got back from seeing The Cat in the Hat and I can say without equivocation, that this is one of the absolute worst films I have ever seen. I sat there constantly looking at my watch to see … Continue reading →

Col. West and Jessica Lynch

Posted on November 18, 2003 by Joey Gibson

If this post is dated before 2011, I almost certainly do not agree with its contents any more. I had a profound philosophical shift that began in early 2010, which ultimately left me somewhere left of center. Please disregard all … Continue reading →

Airport WiFi

Posted on November 17, 2003 by Joey Gibson

How cool is this? I’m sitting at my departure gate at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and they have high speed WiFi deployed all over the place. You plug in your wireless card, connect to the local WayPort network and, to quote … Continue reading →

Nihongo ga Sukoshi Hanashimasu

Posted on November 15, 2003 by Joey Gibson

I’ve run into Matsumoto-san several times so far this weekend, but each time only managed a sheepish ‘Hi,’ or something equally lame. The frustrating thing is that I’ve been practicing my Japanese for weeks in preparation for meeting him yet … Continue reading →

It’s 17:37 on Saturday and I’m sitting with some new friends at a little coffee shop called Flight Path, which is about 2 miles from the conference hotel. The reason we are here is because it has free wifi! I’m … Continue reading →

Rough Flight

Posted on November 13, 2003 by Joey Gibson

Ed. Note: I flew from Atlanta, GA to Austin, TX this morning and I would have written this in-flight, but the guy in front of me reclined his seat and since there is only 4.23 inches of space between one … Continue reading →

Once Again, This Time With Feeling

Posted on November 7, 2003 by Joey Gibson

OK, folks, the Grammar Nazi™, here. It’s time for a little lesson on spelling and grammar. Today we are discussing the similar, yet very different words “your” and “you’re” since so many people can’t seem to use them properly. “Your” … Continue reading →

Bubba Ho-Tep

Posted on November 7, 2003 by Joey Gibson

I won free passes to see Bubba Ho-Tep at my new favorite art house cinema last night. Three words: funny as hell. It’s the heart-warming story of an elderly Elvis Presley who not only didn’t die, but is living still … Continue reading →

Halloween Weekend Wrap-Up

Posted on November 3, 2003 by Joey Gibson

First of all, I’d like to give a big F@#K YOU to the cretins who smashed our Jack-o-Lantern Friday night. We spent quite a bit of time Thursday night carving this thing and then to have some worthless little punk … Continue reading →
