Another Case of Chocolate Chip Cookie Exhaustion
I stumbled across this photo of my 3-year old son, Evan this evening after everyone had gone to bed. I'm not sure when my wife, Kim, took the photo...but it captures the essence of my little Evan in a nutshell. No kid tackles life with more gusto than this little lad! And, as you might guess, life sometimes tackles him back.

The Incomparable Gerry Cott
Fans of the Boomtown Rats wept when Gerry Cott left the band. Frankly, the Rats were never the same after his departure...and never achieved the same commercial success as well. Cott's exit signaled the end of one of the greatest Irish bands ever.
Well, Gerry's back on YouTube. It's great to see him playing guitar again.

Sixx:A.M. - The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack
I never was much of a Motley Crue fan. However, I have been totally blown away by Nikki Sixx's latest project which is a companion soundtrack to his book, "The Heroin Diaries". This is mindblowing stuff along the lines of Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime".
Zvue Media Player: Great for podcasts!
Those of you who have visited this site from time to time know that I am a fan of the Zvue media player. The model 250 sells for under $70 at Walmart and the new model 260 goes for less than $100 bucks. For the money, it really is a decent little portable media player.
Aside from playing xvid videos and mp3/wma files, it does a couple of things that anyone who listens to podcasts understand is crucial. The first feature that I am referring to is the "auto-resume" feature. In other words, when I turn the device off, it remembers where I was. This comes in handy if you are listening to a long podcast or a movie because you don't have to fast forward back to the point you were at. The second feature is even harder to find. Once I have finished listening to a podcast, I can delete it directly from the device. Most of these gadgets make you wait until later when you've attached it to your computer.
So, the main reason for this posting is a little rumor that comes from a comment left on Zvue-net. Here it is:
"New firmware for the 200/250/260 is coming fairly soon (and we have crushed many old annoying bugs - I've been driving a debugging campaign). But, the big (and strictly unofficial news, because you may never see it, if... an asteroid hits the building or something) is SDHC (compatible, we don't liscence the logo, so we have to be "compatible") support beta is now working (yay)."
It's been over a year since the Zvue has seen a firmware update and, frankly, it's about time. Hopefully, this fantastic little gadget becomes even more indispensable after the new update!

Vixy.net is the absolute best way to capture and convert YouTube and other viral videos for your portable media player. And...if you have a sub-$100 economical Zvue media player, the .avi conversion option will allow you to play the videos without any additional conversion steps.Vixy allows you convert a Flash Video / FLV file (YouTube's videos,etc) to MPEG4 (AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3/3GP) file online. It is using a compressed domain transcoder technology. It converts FLV to MPEG4 faster and less lossy than a typical transcoder.
When you submit an url, it will download and convert to the video format. Then you can download the converted file.

Boomtown Rats -Funny Interview +
Hilarious video of Bob and the band during the early 80s. I'd love to know the rest of the story behind this television appearance. It looks like cable access program (ala Wayne's World) at its very best.

Do you like free stuff? Well, as long as it is not crap, I'm kind of a fan. That's why I'm really excited about Giveaway of the Day. Along with Woot!, these are the two sites I visit almost daily.
Giveaway of the Day and it's partner-site, Game Giveaway of the Day, allow a visitor to download and install one fully-licensed program each day. The catch is that you have to install it during the 24-hour period that it is being offered. Afterwards, the program reverts to it's previous shareware state.
The bottom line is that the price is right. Check it out. You've got nothing to lose.

Seanbaby.com - The Hostess Page
I've always been a big fan of comic books. From an early age, I was enthralled by the exploits of many of the well-known DC and Marvel characters. I also loved the entire line of Hostess products (Twinkies, Fruit Pies, Ding-Dongs, etc). So I guess it should come as no surprise that I enjoy reading these silly superhero adventures as much now as when they first appeared during the 1970s.

Brad Sucks | a one man band with no fans
Although Brad Sucks claims to be "a one-man band with no fans", I find it hard to believe given the overall wonderfulness of the band's songs. Brad Sucks encourages visitors to download, remix and/or mash-up any of the songs found on the website.

American Heartbreak
Podcaster Michael Butler's band is strongly influenced by Kiss, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Cheap Trick. American Heartbreak blends a tough, raunchy glam/arena rock/metal aesthetic with the melodic allure and accessible hooks of classic pop radio.
