I think I’m gonna be a DJ

March 11th, 2009

As you probably could’ve seen from my tweets today, I’ve discovered a new music site today called Blip.fm. It’s kindof pandora-ish, but with more social junk in the trunk. Thanks to @sarahlane for tweeting about it or else I may have not found out about it.

So feel free to listen to my station http://www.blip.fm/snarfblatt and I’ll be sure to fill it up with all the music you never wanted to listen to.

Where did the weekend go?

January 26th, 2009
Comments Off

It’s Monday already? Seems like the weekends should be longer. I’ve been fairly busy the past week which accounts for my lack of posting, yeah, that’s why. And, as has been my excuse in the past, I still don’t know what this blog should be about.

I’ve never been that good of a writer, so I guess I’ve just hoped I could learn if I write more often. But, for me, the lack of a subject makes writing very painful and feel more like work than anything else.

I could always talk computers or games or whatnot, but those subjects seem way overdone. Oh well, I’m sure it will come to me. For now, you all will just have to suffer. Heh, you all, who am I kidding. I took a 2 year break. No one is reading this anymore.

Peace out.

*tap tap* Is this thing on?

Hey.. remember me? Yeah I’m the guy that started A Random Act of Blogging a little more than 3 years ago. Guess what, I’m still alive.

Looks like I haven’t posted in a while, I guess I had lost interest, not sure. I’m not making any promises, but I think I may start pushing this thing along again. First thing on tap. I’m gonna have to redesign. Yup.. this theme has served me well for over a year.. time to scrap it and start anew.

Got any ideas? I don’t, guess I better put on my thinking cap. Stay tuned, you never know what might happen.

Creative Zen Vision:M

July 17th, 2006

lowres_zenvisionm7.jpg Lookie at my new toy. I finally decided to join the rest of society and get an mp3 player. I ended up with this beauty. So far I’ve loaded about a gigabyte worth of music on it and am having a good time with it. My only complaint so far.. is those stupid “ear-bud” headphones everything is coming with these days. I mean really.. how are you supposed to keep those things in your ears. So now I need to go out and get some headphones that will work for me.

Looks like the big IM networks are starting to realize that one IM to rule them all is not going to work and cooperation is going to have to prevail. Its about time.

Merry Christmas 2005

December 23rd, 2005

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone before Christmas hits. I know I have been around much in the past month or so, maybe the new year will bring a change (maybe not). If you don’t hear from me before that new year arrives Happy New Year also.
