It's another one of those darned personal websites, subjecting you to my P.O.V. on life through the usual digital arsenal. There's a blog, photo gallery and any number of ways to interact in cyberspace and meatspace too!

They Call it the Magic City... It's a great place to live, and I'll try to share some of the things that make it special with you.  Birmingham is graced with everything from natural features like fantastic underground caverns and beuatiful gardens, to man-made wonders like giant blast furnaces and one of the best attended concert facilities in the US.

It used to cost 5¢ to have this much fun... No...it's not an ordinary job.  Over the course of the past few years, I've met some interesting people and done some cool things.  Consider this the (semi) official record of that path, as edited and amended by my head.  Just remember that history is usually written by the victors.  Usually, I said...

Pass it on. Having fun? Be sure and return a little something to the cosmos before you go. Times are tough and there are folks that could use your help. Money works, but a gift of your time and talent works just as well. Think of it as a gift made up of your gifts. If that's not too 'meta' for you, let's get started!

Why I'm A Geek, Part #137

Bold9650As a kid, I envied James Bond and Dick Tracy.  Their cool gadgets and amazing tech always managed to win the day...and the girl!  So my fascination with tech is an honest one, and it usually comes to a head when Blackberry rolls out a new model, as they have recently done with the Bold 9650 .

Though my loyalty has been severely tested by the latest crop of Android phones (my brother has a Samsung Moment and digs the hell out of it), my love of the pure geeky feel of the Blackberry has kept me true to the brand for a few years now.  The folks at Crackberry.com just reviewed the Bold 9650, an evolution of the Tour 9630 I currently own.  I think my next upgrade comes in July...

340x_froyoooSpeaking of Android phones, Google just announced the latest flavor of the Android mobile platform.  2.2 was developed under the code name Froyo and while it may not be filled with creamy goodness and topped to your taste, it is pretty damned good.  Unless BlackBerry's OS 6 is REAL good, I may have to defect at some point in the future.  More about Android 2.2 can be found at Gizmodo.

 

Finally, the major TV networks have gone through their "upfront" seasons for the advertisers, providing a look at their fall lineups in an attempt to secure advertising dollars for the upcoming year.  They get advertisers to commit dollars on how well they think a specific show will perform.  It also gives fans some of their first looks at new shows for the fall.  The Hollywood Reporter has a video player that gives you the new shows for Fox, CBS, NBC and ABC, as well as the CW.

Keep your eye out for "Shit My Dad Says" on CBS, based on the Twitter feed of the same name.  Except you can't say "shit" on TV.

" Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas...with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether. "

You. On the Web...

I can help with that.  Domain names, customized email solutions, websites and hosting. Those and fancier tricks up the old sleeves.

Do it...

Calendar

Important dates, holidays and notable time/space coordinates.  There are also some fairly random items as well...just for grins.

Tempus Fugit

Facebook & Twitter

Funny, I've heard of both of them.  And have a digital footprint in both places...mad, crazy scribblings of a digital nature.
