Band Rex

2 bands to rec this time
1. Lucero: i can't tell you how cool this band is, just check out their album That Much Further West and their new one Rebels, Rogues and Sworn Brothers
2. The Hold Steady: Kindof a cross betwixt Bruce Springsteen when he was cool and Thin Lizzy...or just think Ted Leo with dark lyrics and a lot of piano based instruments.

Newly Found Band Post

Must occasionally post my love for a band i just discovered.

Today
Marah


These kids from Philly really can rock and remind you of greats like Springsteen and The Replacements. Check 'em out.

Obligatory NHL Post

So the Ducks beat Calgary in game 7, meaning...

The East measures up 1-4 seeds
and
The West is sending 5-8 seeds

this should be interesting as i think that possibly Ottawa v. Buffalo could the best matchup of the playoffs.

End Flash

So, after visiting Best Buy's website i came to a realization. Flash must be stopped. I don't mind Flash animation, splash pages, etc. but for integration into a website, it is horribly annoying. Best Buy uses Flash on its menus, and it is terribly sensitive. Then, because they have an insane amount of categorization, the Flash menu blocks the rest of the page.

Seriously, Flash is horrible for websites as well as SEO. just drop the shit.

Prison Break

Seriously, does anyone watch this show? I know that FOX had a problem with it last year and tried to gain viewership by lying about its popularity and showing encore after encore in an attempt to get people to understand the plot (hint: one guy wants to get his brother out of prison. hence the name of the show).

Personally, i thought this show was going to be very interesting, then i watched the first episode. After the main character revealed that he had the map of the prison tattooed to his chest in intricate gothic stylings, i switched the channel. The show is ludicris and should be avoided at all costs.

Trials of a Cog

I started this web log over a year ago with one simple post about my uninterest in underscores. i actually love underscores, behold the irony.

This will be my ramblings, thoughts of uninterest, and musings of a Cog in our social system. I may use it for more devious purposes of self-promotion as well.

and i'm done.
