Unrelated Videos: Why YouTube VEVO Channels Deliberately Flunk Marketing 101

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related. You may put on some Alice in Chains or Nirvana, but be [...]

The radio station is broadcasting strange packets…

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Looping the same few seconds over and over, with repeated buffering notices in between. 23 people are supposedly listening, but it’s totally screwed up.

  Diablo II is getting tough. Any possibility of addiction is not coming true. The shoutbox breaks the Cynthia Says compliance, so this page is no longer compliant with those standards and the button has been removed. The tapes are all backed up. They rock.

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

There were actually 3 parts to the review I posted yesterday, I only put up Part 2. Here are all 3.

(Click here for the previous [...]

I haven’t written here in a while, been busy. Slackware is back on my machine. I remember someone years ago in a chat room saying that “Slackware eats your soul” and it does. Yet I can’t stand the “easier” ones – I always come back to Slackware. Using the 64-bit version, which gives me more [...]

AOL’s Noisecreep: Best (Rock) Songs of the 2000s

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

AOL’s metal/hard-rock site Noisecreep released “Best Songs of the 2000s” (click here to see) I think the choices are based on the band more than the song, but check it out anyway.
