Check out this story from the BBC. - LINK HERE - It’s interesting for two reasons. First, it is about a Capuchin monk, Brother Cesare Bonizzi, is the lead singer in a heavy metal band. Rock on. Second, check out the volume “knob” (for lack of a better word) on the BBC video player. Turn it up. Turn it way up. It Goes To Eleven!!! That rocks even harder! Awesome!

Well, they got the look right, that’s for sure. Let’s hope they do the story justice as well!

Here is THE LINK to the big version!

This guy was link to yesterday on Boing Boing.  His gimmick is that he adds lyrics to instrumental film themes.  I found these freakin’ hilarious!  I have to repost them!  So, here you go…  Enjoy!

I know this is “wrong” on so many levels, but it made me laugh because it is so wrong! In fact, I’m NOT going to actually link to this, just in case it violates some WordPress rule. Instead, you’ll need to stick this in your own browser!

…a truly wired president?  If elected, I hope Obama continues in this fashion.  It will be interesting to see more of what goes on behind the scenes in the exectutive branch.  Oh course, I know it will all be edited and give a proper spine, but still, I look forward to this type in openness.

“What are you talking about?” you ask.  THIS article.  ‘Specially the bits about… “He pictures  online fireside chats, and posting video of internal debates on topics like healthcare.

My “Non Sequiturs” page is going away.  Why?  Because it was rather lame.  And I didn’t keep up with it and add to it daily as I had planned.  And because it wasn’t all that funny.  And because I want to.  And because I say so.  And because, just because.

But, for all of you who care, I will repost the page here now, along with one new non sequitur, for your enjoyment…

I have an interest in politics, but I hate the fact that money is the biggest factor in getting someone elected. Because of this, I never donate. However, I am seriously thinking of giving Sean Tevis a few dollars. And the wierd thing is, I’m not even in his state! - Check out his site by clicking below…

I’m sick of this meme, but I enjoyed the Imperial Tokyo Trooper Roll, simply because I am jealous and want Stormtrooper armor.  And because I want to visit Tokyo too.

So, Monday came and went, and I never posted, as I had promiced.  My deepest and most sincerest apologies.  I’ve just been feeling listless as of late.  No energy.  Plus, I’ve had nothing to say, so I haven’t said a thing.  Well, the urge to be creative hit me this afternoon, BUT, well, it’s nearly my bed time.  Maybe I’ll find the energy to post tomorrow.  Maybe.

…I forgot to post that I would be away for the holiday week. Anyway, I’m back now. More to come later to day. Hopefully…

UPDATE!!! - Due to time constraints, family obligations, and lack of anything to say, there wont be any update to this site until Monday July 14th.  So, set your alarms and mark your calendars, and come back then!  Thanks!

The new James Bond trailer hit the interwebs today.  Very Nice!  Bond makes me happy!

This is my first attempt at a video post. Very boring. But here you go anyway.

Just got back from a matinee of the latest Pixar flick, “Wall-E”.  Man-oh-man, can Pixar do no wrong?  How can this one company make one good movie after another?  It will be a sad day when they stumble.

Anyway, I’m not a film reviewer, so I’m not going to go into detail other then to say I liked this film.  A lot. Here’s what stuck out at me; the cinematography.  They did things with the camera in this movie that you don’t normally see in a “kids” film, and I quite enjoyed them.  From a fast zoom across great distances, to the way the characters were followed in long shots.  This part of the film delighted me and kept me waiting for the next little “trick” that was about to make me say “whoa!”.  Also, other then the cartoony people, it was hard to believe that I was watching an animated film.  There was a realism to the worlds of Wall-E that made me nearly gasp.  You’d think that after the two decades-plus since computer animation became a staple of Hollywood, I’d get used to how cool it can be.  Well, I’m not.  I still am wowed by these effects.

The story was typical, almost formulaic, but then, I find most big time movies are.  But like all the other Pixar films, they are able to push the formulaic to the next level to make it better then good.  The emotion was there, the laughs were cute, and action was exciting.  I recommend this film, not just for kids, but for nearly anyone.

Oh, my one complaint: Fred Williards character.  The fact that they had a live action actor blended in with the animation didn’t sit well with me.  Sort of took me out of it for a bit.  But, since Fred Williard makes me laugh, I’ll forgive it this time.

Thanks for reading.  Go see the film and tell me what you think.  Thanks.

I used to feel bad if I didn’t add something to this site everyday. But now, not so much. This is because of Twitter. I have been using Twitter as a way to pester strangers & communicate with online firends, but also as a way to blog, in very small bursts.

I was under the impression that Twitter would archive all my updates, but learned yesterday that Twiter only saves the last 200 posts you’ve made. So, of my nearly 400 “tweets”, half are now lost for all time. To prevent that from happening again, I’ve decided to “reprint” my Twitter posts here once a week.

Below, you’ll find the 200 tweets I was able to save. Or some of them at least. I was not able to save all of the “conversations” I’ve had via Twitter. My side of things were there, but I wasnt able to access the responces I recieved. Anyway, the conversations I did save, you’ll find other people words in bold italic, while my words are just plain type.

update - this post is a mess, i’ve tried twice, but I cant get the formatting correct.  Sorry.

Heading back to Boston in the morning. Great city to visit- surprised I never lived there though. If your there and you see me, say hi! 03:54 AM June 27, 2008

And from yesterday, June 28th, 2008…….

Does anyone else read all the tweets they’ve missed when they have been disconnected from Twitter for an extended period of time?

By the way, I didnt see you in Boston! Where were you? (to no on in particular)

It’s my wedding anniversary! I love my wife dearly, but miss having a girlfriend. Is that odd?

Crap! I just realized that I forgot to buy a card! The mrs. thinks the card is more important then the gift. Off to the Hallmark store…

Will 30 be the start of my midlife crises? “Crises” looks misspelled, which is bugging me.

@roeadams4 is it your b-day today?

@MituK - thanks for following me! please tell your friends to do the same! (i’m starved for attention!!!)

Why do I have such a strong ebay-phobia?

@roeadams4 This phobia can be a good thing - eBay can be a costly addiction!

@roeadams4 Especially for old people like yourself!

The kids are enjoyin Milo & Otis but the urban legends of animal abuse & deaths during filming are sticking in my memory & it’s bothering me

Just found out my ISP stopped its newsgroup service this week. Very Sad It’s like they’re taking away my internet childhood home

I didn’t do too much BBS stuff, I was a usenet kid, back before the WWW. I’m sad. The terrorists have one - Damn You Time Warner!!!

Only buy honey from free range bees! Stop abusing them with a monoculture existence!

@tarabrown Hey, I saw that animated Jerry Sienfeld movie too!

Downtown Seattle for an afternoon of essay-writing. There’s so much sun; everything’s glinting.

@dianakimball - Will you share what you wrote when your done basking in the rays of Sol?

just bought myself a Roku Netflix player, because I have so much free time to watch movies on demand, you see.

@wilw -I want one of these, but I too have issues with free time, that I just cant justify it right now. Ugh! So many movies, so little time

Tiring but fun day in London with family - now lots of work to get stuck into. Shame my laptop hdd seems to have given up on me though!

@MituK >>I’M JEALOUS!<< What i wouldn’t do for another day in London! –Has it really been 11 yrs since I left? Ugh.

Does anyone know of a tool which will collect your Twitter posts for you, daily or weekly, & then post them to a site or email them to you?

I need to start reading Gizmodo more often.  They find some of the coolest stuff out there!  Such as THIS article about a trip to the headquarters of Lego.  It contains the Lego Secret Vault that contains one of Every Lego Set Ever Made!!!  (And there was also THIS article which answers many of your Lego Questions!)

I’m one of those people who believe that Legos are more then simple toys (which is why I buy too many Legos for my kids), and the writer of this article is of a similar mind set.  In fact, his words got me a little misty eyed.  I’m such a big baby!

This video shows a great map for Quake III, set in Springfield.  This is a great mashup of one of the best TV shows ever and one of my favorite FPS’s off all time!  I wonder how long it took them to make it? It’s nearly flawless!  (And yes, this is another link stolen from Boing Boing)

It’s been two and a half months since ROFLcon, and the media coverage of the event continues to role in. No, I’m not talking about the recent mention on Cracked.com, but rather an article that appeared on Wired, two days ago. Before you read the article, take a look at the photo. Yes, the first thing your eyes will be drawn to is the magnificent Mr. Jay Maynard, aka The Tron Guy! BUT, you may also notice the Ickabod Crane-type character in the back ground. Well, that gangzly geek is me! Yup, I’m famous! Famous by osmosis, but famous none the less!

Anyway, I jut wanted to share this. ROFLcon was the only thing I’ve done all year that was fun, in a non-kid related way. Sorry for mentioning it so much. I have had other adventures, but I tend not to want to write about stuff I do with the kids. This site is my imaginary-place where I can escape the daily routine of fatherhood, and pretend that I’m still young and free. Kinda like why I always imagined that Mr. Rogers kept that little house that he would stop each day, before going home to his family. Damn, I wish i had a place like that. Though, I’d use it to drink beer and play games, not chat with “My TV Friends”.

But wait, since I’ve started using JustinTV to occationally “lifecast”, isn’t that exactly the same thing I am doing? Oh crap.

I’ve added my contact information to the site, in the upper right hand side. As I’ve mentioned plenty of times before, the schedule I keep (at home with the kids during the day, and working an unsatisfying job at night) has left me a bit board with life. The lack of friendly adult interaction (something that I cant even get at work, for the most part) has really brought me down. If it werent for my wife and a couple of good friends, I’d be all alone. But don’e weep for me, i’m not hear o be all emo or too look for your pitty. I’m here to tell you I’ve found a solution. I’ve turned to the internet.

Now, this site isn’t breaking any records for blog readers, but I have been able to strike up a few conversations online recently. And it’s been fun. Talking with strangers given me a bit of what I have been missing in my life. So, I hope to keep doing that, being it via email, chat, Skype or something else. Anyway, the whole point of this post it to point out the addition I’ve added to the site, and to ask you, who ever you are, to contact me. I look forward to talking to YOU!

Since I haven’t received any Skype calls from strangers yet…

I set up a channel on JustinTV today. — www.justin.tv/senselessbabble — I’m not “putting on a show”, I’m just going to broadcast while I’m online. I figure my show (excuse me, “channel” is the proper term) will be just as boring as this site. So, go, watch, and you’ll find endless hours of me typing, reading and ignoring my kids. Send me an email and tell me what you think. Thanks.

Updated - I was just using JustinTV to “chat” (more like dueling lifecasts) with “The Senseless Bloggr“, Matt.  (See His Tumblr, See His Twitters).  It was odd.  I’ve been wanting to meet strangers online because I am so board, and I finally did.  But, to finally KNOW that there someone out there has read my Tweets and this site, well, it was odd.  To know that they can see my ugly face, to hear my nasally voice, well, I dont think I’m ready for the attention.  I thought I was, but I may not be.  Maybe I should ease into this world of lifecasting by first getting my podcast idea off of the ground first?

Nah, I’ll just do it and results be damned!  They’re only strangers after all.  (But strangers hope to make my friends!) (my gawd that was sickly, wasn’t it.)
