Stuff I’m Thankful For
Being the Thanksgiving season and whatnot, here’s some stuff I’m thankful for: I’m thankful for back pain, which reminds me that I have a spine. I’m thankful for being unemployed, which gives me plenty of time to think about what I want to be when I grow up. I’m thankful for the greedy assholes who gave us the economy that ultimately lead to the aforementioned unemployment. I’m thankful for uncertainty.  Not sure why. I’m thankful for modern technology, which gives me the ability to stay in touch with friends and family without actually having to leave the couch, thereby minimizing my risk of catc

R.I.P. Ken Ober
Ken Ober, former host of the 80’s MTV game show “Remote Control” (aka bye-bye music videos), was found dead in his home.  No cause of death has been released. “Remote Control” was responsible for spawning the careers of such celebrities as Adam Sandler, Kari Wuhrer, and Colin Quinn.  So… yeah.  Thanks for that.

Is this starting to make sense? Hot chicks: First, on behalf of all mank

Missing Podcasts on iPod
If you’ve recently purchased a new iPod and have transferred files from your old iPod to the new one, only to find that your podcasts are now “missing,” I may have good news for you. The same happened to me this morning, but I found that they were all still there… just hiding. Here’s how I fixed it: If you try to search for the “podcast” genre or even the specific title of the podcast/episode, it won’t show up. However, if you make a smart playlist based on the genre “podcast,” everything should show up there. Once you’ve done that, select all files in that smartlist, right (ctrl) click on the selected files, an
