I'll still keep the username alive for commenting and stuff, but my entries will now be posted straight to <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com">GeekDreams.com</a>, where I've installed the latest version of <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a>. WP gives me a lot more control over the layout of my site, has support for link lists and categories, and is generally more <i>modern</i> than LJ. It's also free and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source">open-source</a>, two things that drew me to the LJ community in the first place.<br /><br />If you'd still like to see my posts show up on your friends page, I've made it easy for you: just add <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_geekdreams_rss' lj:user='geekdreams_rss' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://syndicated.livejournal.com/geekdreams_rss/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif' alt='[info]' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://syndicated.livejournal.com/geekdreams_rss/'><b>geekdreams_rss</b></a></span> to your friends list (<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/friends/add.bml?user=geekdreams_rss">click here</a>) and my site's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28protocol%29">RSS</a> feed will appear as if by magic.

SXSW is releasing high-quality MP3s from all the artists in this year's lineup on BitTorrent. It's a 2.6GB file, which is huge, but I just launched the client and I've already got around 30 peers. Join in on the fun and help spread the love!<br /><br /><a href="http://2005.sxsw.com/geekout/sxsw4pod/">http://2005.sxsw.com/geekout/sxsw4pod/</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:geekdreams:16542 2005-03-07T16:53:24Z 2005-03-07T16:53:24Z We went to Corpus Christi this weekend, so my honey could get a couple more tattoos before she started school. We drove down on Friday afternoon and checked in to our awesome hotel, the Red Roof Inn on Corn Products road. Do you know it? Well, if not, Esther <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/bed.jpg">took</a> <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/ceiling.jpg">some</a> <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/heater.jpg">pictures</a> lest we forget (and trust me, she will never let me forget the Red Roof Inn on Corn Products Road).<br /><br />It was already late by the time we got there, but we went out to eat anyway because that's what you do when you go out of town, even though none of us, apparently, were hungry. We found this exotic <a href="http://www.chilis.com">Chilean restaurant</a> where we spent $20 on a couple salads and some delicious hot-off-the-microwave <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/macaroni.jpg">macaroni & cheese</a> for the baby.<br /><br />The next day we got up bright and early (noon), dropped Melina off with her aunt & uncle for the day, and then headed over to Skin Illusions to see <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/bruce.jpg">Bruce</a>, Esther's favorite tattoo artist guy. We spent the next, oh, <i>eight hours</i> in his studio while he etched little holes in my lover's skin. In the end, she came out with some fancy needlework on her right <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/arm.jpg">arm</a> and <a href="http://www.geekdreams.com/pics/corpus/back.jpg">shoulder blade</a>: Ghandi's <a href="http://www.redemptorists.com/~canada/justice_articles/social_sins.htm">"Seven Deadly Social Sins"</a> and a demon, similar to the one she already had, "for him to play with." urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:geekdreams:16273 2005-03-05T16:00:50Z 2005-03-05T16:00:50Z two star hotel/motel<br>where the stars don't mean<br>the stars don't mean anything.<br><br>-Minus the Bear urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:geekdreams:16002 2005-02-28T05:49:58Z 2005-02-28T05:49:58Z <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_poetryslam' lj:user='poetryslam' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://poetryslam.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://poetryslam.livejournal.com/'><b>poetryslam</b></a></span> convinced a bunch of people to dress up for the Oscars tonight.

Less than a week since Apple introduced the Mac mini and iPod suffle, products and services tailoring to these devices are already popping up on the web: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.macminicolo.net">Mac Mini Colocation</a> is a web hosting company based right here in Austin, TX. You send them your Mac mini (or purchase/rent one from them) and they put it up in their datacenter with 24/7 monitoring for a low monthly fee. While the mini isn't powerful enough to serve popular sites with tons of traffic and/or dynamic content, this is a cheap, novel solution for small business or personal sites that want to run their own dedicated server.</li> <li>About two seconds after the Mac mini was intro'd on-stage by Steve Jobs, message board whores started pointing out that its size (6.5"x6.5"x2") was the perfect fit for an in-dash car stereo component. Now <a href="http://www.classicresto.com/macmini.html">Classic Restoration</a> in Sloatsburg, NY is offering custom installation of the mini into any standard DIN slot, including a touch-screen LCD panel to navigate the system while you drive.</li> <li>Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.cyndustries.com/modules_minimac.cfm">Cyndustries</a> of Los Angeles, CA is working on a Mac mini-based synth module which combines the digital ease of OS X with the analog beauty of traditional synthesizers.</li> <li>Of course, if you just want to use the Mac mini as a computer, <a href="http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0351">Tom Bihn</a> has a mini-sized carrying case so you can lug it around in style.</li> <li>And in the land of iPod accessories, <a href="http://www.speckproducts.com/for-shuffle.html">Speck Products</a> in Palo Alto, CA has announced the first in a soon-to-be-long line of iPod shuffle carrying cases. You can get a glimpse of their <a href="http://www.pdatoday.com/more/2609_0_1_0_M/">SkinTight mockup here</a>.</li></ul> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:geekdreams:14031 2005-01-17T16:35:55Z 2005-01-17T16:39:37Z I've been sharing my iTunes library since day one, mainly so Esther can listen to my music from her PC in the other room.
