We went and picked up Hellogoodbye tickets today. I went to order them at Ticketmaster and they wanted $45 for two $16 tickets. I thought that was crazy so we went right to playmakers and only paid $32 for them. It’s so nice not having to pay Ticketmaster’s outrageous fees.

The concert is this Wednesday night at The Venue. I really like The Venue. It’s a small place so it’s easy to get right up front, plus it’s only a five minute drive to there there.

Today we had some Kirby door to door salesmen come to our house. I HATE door to door salesmen. I would have never let them in my house, but the wife answered the door. They were here two fuckin’ hours trying to sell us a new vacuum cleaner. I know Kirby makes good vacuum cleaners, but now I am never going to buy one. The main reason I would never buy one now is because they came to my door and wasted two hours of my Saturday afternoon.

Advertising seems to work in reverse for me sometimes. I hate companies that advertise too much. I would never use 1on1 for webhosting. I don’t know if they are good or bad, but their ads take up way more space in the magazines I read then they should. I hate them for the shear fact that their ads are too big.

Am I weird that way? Big obnoxious ads and door to door salesmen must work, or they wouldn’t use them. They just don’t work on me that’s for sure.

So last night I was in Chris Pirillo’s IRC room and he was answering tech questions that he was going to put up on YouTube. He actually answered one of my questions and addressed me by name. He was having audio problems though, so I don’t think it’s going to make it to YouTube. Oh well. I guess I will get my 15 minutes some other time.

I probably wont be blogging much the next five days. I am working five straight 12 hour days. I wont be doing much more than working and sleeping. The good part is I will be getting 16 hours of overtime. That should help cover the cost of having to buy a new iPod this week.

In the mean time you could check out my tumblelog. I have been using tumblr for quite a while. I am using it to collect all my RSS feeds and post them all there. it’s a blog that contains everything that I am into and find cool on the internets. It always contains more content than this blog does.

Something great happened today on Twitter. Clintus McGintus was tweeting the birth of his son. It was pretty incredible watching his updates. I don’t know much about Clintus. I just enjoy his video blog. Congratulations dude.

Last night I went to grab my iPod before I left for work. As I was grabbing it off the dock it bumped into my cup of tea and fell right in. I was hoping it would work again after it dried off, but so far not so good. I don’t like it’s chances since it was turned on when it got wet.

Today I will be sporting a pink iPod Mini.

Tonight I will have to pick up a new iPod. I seriously don’t think I could go a day without an iPod.

This past weekend we went to back to our hometown. The wife wanted to go garage saling with her family on Saturday. She got a few good deals and got me a box of computer parts for free.

Saturday night we went bowling. I haven’t bowled in years. They have “Extreme Bowling” from 10:00 to 1:00 Saturday nights. They crank up the music, turn out the lights, and turn on the black lights and the smoke stuff. It was pretty cool. We got six games played, and boy were my fingers and arms sore.

Sunday we planned our vacation for next year. Next March we are taking a cruise to the Cayman Islands. It should be fun. We will have a day on Grand Cayman and then a day in Calica in Mexico. I have never been on a cruise before, and the only other country that I have been to is Canada, so it should be fun. The bad part is it’s almost a year away.

Blur – Song #2 (A cappella) – Great song. Great idea. Bad Singing.

Amazing Tornado Video – AMAZING!

WordPress Stats Plugin – I have always liked the stats you get with WordPress.com hosted blogs and wish I could get them on my hosted blog. Well, now I can.

Digg The Code – I have had this song in my head all weekend. Man, does Geoff Smith write some catchy tunes.

I was on IRC and watching Chris Pirillo’s webcam the night of that “Digg and that number” fiasco. Chris has released the audio from that night. Not very exciting now, but it sure was that night.

I love Cali Lewis’ video for a Geoff Smith song about “that number“.
