Great!

I never watch TV during the summer (and even more so now that I have my media server working with my ps3). However this fall has some good content coming up. So I suggest canceling your premium cable until the following:

Dexter season 3 (Showtime): September 28th.
24 season 7 (Fox): November 23rd. (2 hour mini movie called 24:Exile)
Californication season 2 (Showtime): Just list “Fall”
Entourage season 5 (HBO): September 7th.
CSI Season 9 (CBS): October 9th.
Flight of the Conchords (HBO): January 2009

The only thing that makes me excited about 24 is Jon Voight has signed on to play the bad guy. Could be very good or very bad. I’m excited about Dexter, Californication, Entourage, CSI and Flight of the Conchords because all left off on good notes. If it wasn’t for cable content such as this I doubt I would have any at all. I would like to make the full jump to my media server and skip the cable completely, seeing as how 99% of what I get is bullshit. Maybe I can just rock the torrents to the media server, but there is something to be said about quick HD content on all the shows I mentioned. I think come 2009 I’m going to cut the cable out and stick with a linux media server with torrent abilities. Cheaper and I get exactly what I want and not “Dancing with the Stars” ugh.

ugh I love it.

Your guy likes wiretapping us… Sorry he isn’t the free thinking, awesome, people’s man, radical guy you thought he was. Explain this. Bummer.

“The Senate overwhelmingly approved a new federal wiretapping law this afternoon by a vote of 69-28.

After last month’s approval of a similar measure in the House, today’s vote essentially clears the way for the bill to go to the White House for a final signature. … Sen Barack Obama (D-IL) voted for the bill.”

Work has been pretty crazy and stressful. One of those weeks when nothing goes quite right and drags on. The good news is we have more work that we can even do, so we are hiring. If you are interested and have php/mysql/web development/graphic skills.. Let me know. We need about 2 part time people ASAP.

Today’s much needed ride was good. The rear brakes are getting a little slow, I believe new pads will be needed soon. Some new front fork oil will be added tomorrow. Other than that, it was great.

I’ve been working with Macs this week. Very simple stuff, but a good break from normal work. I still don’t get the Mac obsession. Everyone has their things though. My ubuntu box is so much more powerful and useful to me, but Leopard is very easy to work with and fun although to do anything I find using the terminal is a must.

Back to work. Sunday nights are always fun getting ready for Monday morning. Not to mention my office is a mess of stacks of paperwork and cats playing in it.

- Gas is so insane. I’ve managed to get used to taking the Triumph everywhere I can. I’ve mastered the right jacket for the right weather problem.

- Turk and I are working on a series of short films about “going green”. Funny take on the whole “green” hype sweeping the world. “Green web sites” coming soon.

- I recently purchased a label maker and my OCD is going crazy. I want to label everything, including cats and the label maker itself.

Thats all for now…

“Control the oil and you’ll control the nations; control the food and you’ll control the people.” - Henry Kissinger (1970)

Watched “Half Nelson” tonight (finally finished it). I highly recommend it. Its older but amazing. Broken Social Scene does the score.

Bought a new office chair today. So nice, wish I would have done it sooner.

Work is insane at the moment. Hard to keep up. Gonna be a busy summer. Lots of new projects launching… New clients to be added to the ZP site soon if we ever get around to updating it.

PickRset.com and Warped Tour… this summer… watch out.
