But cross posting doesn’t. Sorry LJ and Myspace friends, but as best as I can tell, it was the LJ/Myspace crossposting attempt that blew everything to bits in the first place. I’m not repeating that problem until I can ensure I won’t screw anything up.

Friday: I went to home from AK to my little bro and Dad, then we all headed down to this karaoke night at my little bro’s school. The cool and lame part of the whole affair is that people recognized me even I’d graduated from that school in 2002, and not just the teachers. Cool cause it means I don’t feel totally uncomfortable and out of place, but lame because it’s still going out to a social event for high school kids. I mean, it was a warm welcome back, but I just felt weird about it. Anyway, that’s the hitch of a combined high school/jr. high I guess, especially if you’ve got a little brother who is almost 8 years younger than you who now goes to the same school. I did get up and sing “Rock the Cazbah” with my little bro and couple of the kids who remembered me, and that was fun, so it’s not like the whole evening felt off. I even wanted to get up again and do Rapper’s Delight, but they were running low on time, so they had to get everyone in who didn’t have a chance at it earlier.
Saturday: Did less than I should have been doing. Tomarrow (today?) much stuff will have to get done. Hopefully it all comes together nicely.

Cause I’ve just admitted defeat to myspace.
The things I do to get better connected to people. Ah well, time to find another crossposting script.
PS: Shoot me if I ever get a dead journal too.

So, I’m looking for a power supply, because what with the 2.99V readings on the 3.3V line, I’m thinking there might be some trouble a brewing. Maybe explaining the It’s not even under heavy load and it giving me trouble. So, that’s on this weekend’s to do list, along side of Beppos with hopefully a large portion of “the crew.” But yeah, right now my computer needs, alas, even more revjuvination. If needs much more, I’ll be looking at the fact that getting a good barebones system and slapping the parts of my machine that work (audio, video, ram and HDs are the only things I’m confident in at this point.)
And yeah, still looking at more processor… Nerdcore life really ain’t simple, is it? If it weren’t for the fact that I can atleast do the maintaintance myself, this’d drive me crazy. I could not tolerate it.

Can the bandwidth take it? / Internet stardom is looking to break it.

As seen on 1up.com, me.
Here. (second guy interviewed. The guy w/ me is my little bro in case you didn’t know.)
And Here. (last guy interviewed. If you’re here because of the website plug, welcome and check the side bar for links to the nerdcore.)
In fact, I’m really kind of ticked off by this though, as I think I managed to get better coverage than some of the actual performing acts (namely MC Frontalot, who really deserved the attention because he wrote the Penny Arcade theme and cause he’s got a new, awesomely excellent album out. Sure, I did sort carpe diem and ask to be interviewed and such, but the media outlets should be talking to all the guests of honor first, not to geeks who shout out “interview me, I was 3rd in line!” I mean, I’m totally happy to have the exposure, but I’m torn over the cost of it.

Because I’m way too nice (and because I’m sucker for challenges that involve internets,) I’ve found and configured a little script that allows me to crosspost on the LJ name I picked up so I could look at my friends’ LJ easier. Ah, better living through technology. Or atleast lazier living. Plus, now I’ll have to use more text to link images, music and other files hosted on my own site or else they won’t work on the LJ. Glorious. 😉
One more step down the geek latter. Maybe more, maybe not because I’m not actively maintaining it, I’m making my website do that for me.

Make for a totally crescent fresh friday
Hanging out at Anime Kingdom in Bellevue
Braggin’ bout how my CDs can sell through
At a gaming convention
Then I repeatedly mentioned
The new collaborations
That should cause a sensation
Watch it they won’t work
Then I’ll feel like a jerk
And I’ll be back to a blog with no traffic
Sitting alone writing my life as a fanfic
–On a more serious note though, it was a darn fun day today. Shout outs to the whole Anime Kingdom crew, especially those who underwrote my evening with monies (namely Jim, Jason, Microsoft Mike and Kyle “CN’s Worst Nightmare” Pope.) That sushi owned all. Mmmm… eel. Even the bosses at Anime Kingdom get respect for giving me a ramune after I tied down the boxes full of plushies to the roof of their minivan. Oh, and we can’t forget the ever present contribution of McDonalds foods on the part of Ben to the AK crew.
Kudos for everyone. Well, cept me, I was just annoying. 😉 (/self deprecation)

Super Cobra + Adult Swim Shirt = Undeniably Nerdcore, atleast in theory.
