Today is gonna be good

By steve | Published: August 17, 2009

Has to be once a week I just can’t sleep these days like my mind won’t shut down.  I just get something in there and it starts rolling around rattling to the point my teeth start to chatter.  Then I climb myself back out of the bed sit here at the computer smoke my cigarettes, drink my coffee, and hash it out in my own time.  Like right now writing this blog post.  Which I swear I’m gonna do more of.  So I think I finally came up with a good idea but I still need to work it out some.

On an unrelated note I am still not happy with this theme on the site.  I tried to make a few changes and it turns out the guy who wrote the code was like uber copyright nutter.  He encrypted the footer of the code so you can’t change it and worse yet it links to bad url’s so I can’t even contact him about it.  I just want to change copyright this site to creative commons.  With the little picture.  Maybe change his link to something not a parked page.  If there is any help please let me know.

So the time has come to say goodbye to all are company…

C U Soon

A Memorial Tribute to Sam

By steve | Published: August 17, 2009

Sam was getting up in the years fifteen ya’ know.  His ever slighter frame and weakening of age prevented him from going down stairs, so we had been taking him out the front door.  Most of the time he would take care of business and come in.  Occasionally he would get it in his head that there was an adventure just round the corner or down the driveway.

Two weeks ago he made a decision that his mother couldn’t make it was his time.  Getting weaker the other dogs taking challenging his authority he had to take that last adventure.  Ever the accommodating friend he was till the very end.

This is a tribute video to a long time companion and great friend. He is on the last great adventure.

Music of NOTE:

“The Dance“ performed by Garth Brooks written by Tony Arata

“Through the Years” performed by Kenny Rogers produced by Lionel Richie and written by Steve Dorff and Marty Panzer

Being Human

By steve | Published: August 15, 2009

The Plot: Three twenty-somethings a werewolf George, a vampire Mitchell and a ghost Annie.  They struggle to live normal lives, despite their strange and dark secrets. Think Friends (more like Coupling really) mixed with She Wolf of London and Forever Knight.  Except he seems to be able to go out in the sun.

George and Mitchell work as orderlies in a hospital in England. They try to live a normal life in hopes no one will notice their dark secrets. They move into a house, only to find that Annie, killed in mysterious circumstances, haunts it.

But with unwelcome intruders into their world, a threatened revolution from the vampire underworld, constant threats of exposure, and the day-to-day issues faced by young people – the only thing they may be able to rely on is each other.

Warning May Contain Spoilers

So Far:  We have three episodes under our belt in the States and so far so good.  Mitchell has eaten a couple friends.  George has destroyed the apartment during his time of the month. Also, his creator has found him only to be a real shit.  Annie on the other hand was predictably killed by her fiancee, though she didn’t remember this at first.  This is a comedy, drama, horror type show though the last has yet to be really shown.  Unless you consider the blood.

It is rather funny and there is a lot to learn about these three characters especially Mitchell.  Being he has been a vampire for many years already.  One must ask why give it all up.  Though our werewolf friend seems to be shy and nervous there is that beast inside him that could change everything.  Why does Annie still stick around especially after seeing her new ghost mate check out. How is it that her mascara always seems to run? Why doesn’t anyone see her carry things on the street? Just have to wait till the next episode.

Overall I am liking this show and invite others to check it out as well.  It is good for a laugh and it will overall keep you guessing.

New episodes air Saturdays @  9PM on BBC America check your local listings.beinghuman

Just can't get that feeling.

By steve | Published: August 14, 2009

screenshot1I just kept looking at this site going it just doesn’t click.  I played with the code changed colors. Changed themes, changed colors, changed layout, changed code!  Still doesn’t jive.  Just not into the whole thing.

It doesn’t grab you, hold onto you, say yes I AM HERE.  What should I do?  I think I know what I want it to be?  I want it to be, Right.

I am going to try these parent themes either Thematic,  SandBox, or Precious.  This seems the best choice to start and then no playing with the php.  (yes)  If there are any better options that won’t break my “No Budget”  feel free to contact me with them either in the comments or through email, or contact forms.  This ends the beginning thanks again.

Dark Mirror (Angel)

By admin | Published: July 17, 2009

Dark Mirror (Angel) Dark Mirror by Craig Shaw Gardner

My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Based in the fourth season before Cordelia has her memory back. This story has some incongruity to it. The first being Cordelia participating and helpful with no memory.

Being a fan of the series I decided I wanted to see more stories with these characters. Sadly this being the first one I found on a bookshelf left me lacking in a need to search out more.

The plot felt weak, the characters uninvolved, the wrap unexplained and quick.

I would not recommend this as a first Angel read. Maybe this is for the die hard fan. It left me unimpressed.

I Stumble Upon this one

By steve | Published: May 5, 2009

Though I haven’t posted in a month or so I have been on the hunt for new and funny things.  That said you can keep up with what I find on the surf by following @stevestromberg on twitter.  Also I am on friendfeed which in my opinion is nicer than twitter.

Found from twitter the other day.

demotivational_happenstance

Also I am becoming a big fan of stumbling. Basically I have this tool bar that when I get board I click Stumble and bonus fun and interesting site.  Not fun and interesting click Stumble again and now it is a party.  Major case of OCD and you can go all weekend.  Found this below through the stumble bar.

Double Picture Illusion
A double picture illusion which results in different things for different people.

Finally an oldie but a goody don’t remember where I found this but you’ll get a kick I promise.

The Greatest Prank Call Made Ever – The top video clips of the week are here


So in conclusion I have had a month you have had a month and keep on keepin on.
Later…
