Somebody Else Thinks We’re Awesome!

Trixie here. Man, it’s a beautiful day. The weather knob is still kind of c-c-c-c-cold, but not too bad. I think the guy in the sky might be moving the weather knob to the place where I like it. So Cessna, who I’ve never met, has decided that this place needs an award or something. …

My Painting of Paint Me On Velvet

So now that I’ve done album no. 1 of my Austin Lounge Lizards haul from yesterday, it’s time for album no. 2, “Paint Me On Velvet”. There are some gooders on here, but not quite as many. Let’s go. Boudreaux Was a NutcaseSomebody wanted to catch the biggest fish ever. Apparently, he was sorry that …

One CD Away From Owning All The Lizards Albums

I got a pretty cool late birthday present. Steve got me two more Austin Lounge Lizards albums! I own all the lizards CD’s but 1 now. What showed up in the mail yesterday were “Highway Cafe Of The Damned” and “Paint Me On Velvet”. Let’s look up when they came out. Highway Cafe of the …

Facebook Broke Up With The Breakup Notifier

Well it looks like, for now, the Breakup notifier has been broken by Facebook. The best part about this was it was not singled out to be blocked because of privacy concerns or because the idea is just inherently wrongwrongwrong. No no no. It was caught by an automatic spam detection system because it was …

I Wonder What The App Does If Someone’s Relationship Status Is "It’s Complicated".

Someone has given me yet another reason to not like Facebook. Dan Loewenherz has developed the Facebook breakup notifier app. So, you can punch in everybody on your friends list who you’ve had a thing for, and as soon as their relationship status changes to single, bingo! You’ll know about it and can start stalking/putting …

He Was Shit-Faced, Now The Officer Is Too.

Ug! Blech! Yuck eeewww icky. Ok I think I can tell the story now. Paul Andrew Kausalik, a well-known figure at the post office so they say, was out for some fun one night. I guess he had a little too much fun for him to be able to drive, and police pulled him over. …

His Defence Was Dead On Arrival

Here are two scary thoughts for anyone living in New York. There’s an ambulance company there that allows persistent violent felons to drive their ambulances, and one of them was dumb enough to use the ambulance as a getaway vehicle after a robbery. Kevin Cheeks had been driving the ambulance for a couple of months. …

I Think They’re Both Nutters

Ok, people need to chill out with their texting rage. First, we had those dudes meeting up to fight because one of them texted the wrong number, and now we have people engaging in a knife fight because of a predictive text error in a text message. I guess the story goes that Neil Brook …

Stripper…Of The Right To Have Kids

It’s pretty sad when I can read a story about a chick leaving her kids alone while she goes off to work as a stripper at night and think “Meh, is that really weird anymore?” I’ve written about similar stories and been all enraged. But it happens so often, parents neglecting their kids, leaving them …

My N86 Has Just Become Eyeballs In A Box!

Well, the day has come. I finally, after hemming and hawing for a year, got myself KNFB Reader, or eyeballs in a box as I affectionately call it. First I was worried I broke my phone’s camera. So, I got that tested out in June at the Aiming for Accessibility conference. Once it was determined …
