MySpace Vs. Facebook According to Alexa: It’s Not Pretty
Posted on 10. Sep, 2009 by spencer in Technology
This is less for my willfully disobedient friends who insist that their “MySpace is fine,” and more to our CEO who insists on devoting our time to a losing battle.

The Mount Diablo Jazz Festival (Formerly JVC Jazz Festival) took place in Concord at The Sleep Train Pavilion on Saturday August 22nd and what a day it was. It was nice to see that the Bay Area still shows a need for Smooth Jazz especially after recently losing KKSF (Smooth Jazz) on the FM dial. As always the bands showed up and filled the cool mountain air of the east bay. It’s such a special day, what makes it so great is you can actually pack an ice chest in [...]
Top 5 Reasons Star Wars is Awesome
Posted on 24. Jul, 2009 by Tobias in Blog, Film, TV, Technology, gaming
The other day I was watching the first Star Wars movie with my friend. Things were going well and we were both having a grand time until we took the magical journey to Mos Eisley.
“What’s this silliness?” I asked my friend.
“Why, that’s a dewback, chap,” came his reply.
“I know that, cunt. Why’s it look like it’s from a Playstation game?” I inquired.

For the last two years I’ve been using my BlackBerry Curve and loving it (most of the time). Since, [...]

Because YouTube Doesn’t Allow Users To Upload “Ras Trent,” or any other SNL The Lonely Island Videos…
Posted on 02. Jun, 2009 by spencer in Comedy, TV, Technology
…and all they have on YouTube are music files with pictures because NBC takes sharing violations seriously…ugh.
Yesterday some friends and I were talking and they referenced “Ras Trent,” and since I don’t watch much TV (except what’s on Hulu.com) I had no idea what they were talking about. After failing to find it on YouTube and mentioning that they didn’t know of a real iPhone app to watch Hulu, I decided to look it up today. And instead of just watching it and (hopefully) laughing, I decided to share the [...]
