Thanks to teh madman for bringing this one to my attention…
Internet celebrities nerds come together in order to save Net Neutrality. Watch the video below and please help me figure out who the “boom-box” lady is…
I recognise the Tron Guy, the freaky Peter-Pan dude, the Back Street Asian Singers, the dancing baby and the spongmonkeys but what is up with that other chick?
I’ve been stupid busy at work, so I guess it’s great that Helluva covered this yesterday, so just head over to his place and fill out your schedule for this weekend….
And if you need something to do to fill in the last hour or so of work:
KBCO HD-2 Studio C Stream <– All in studio performances going back to 1988, what you wish your local radio station was (OMG, they’re playing Short Skirt, Long Jacket by CAKE right now!!!)
It’s time for the big show over at WorkPlay this weekend.
The Soulful Pop /Singer-Songwriter sounds of Louisanna native Marc Broussard will share the stage with Birmingham’s own Michael Warren (AAA /Singer-Songwriter). The show in the soundstage way in the back of WorkPlay to accomadate more than the normal 500 or so patrons. This show will sell out if it hasn’t already (but knowing Birmingham, it will probably sell out about an hour before the show).
Also of great importance to myself this weekend is a little thing called AutoX (Auto Cross). Me, in my grocery getter, driving as fast as I can through a course of cones set up in the BRC’s parking lot. Time is added for every cone you knock over and time is subtracted for every Sweepstakes patron you take out (the new time subtraction rule was sponsored by the SBC).
Our course is conciderably smaller than it was before the casino Sweepstakes came to town, but it’s still just as fun. Come watch several dozen people train their daily driver cars to massacre cones!
One of the most frustrating things about working with MS’s Composite UI Application Block or CAB has been the inability to use the search function over at the GotDotNet forums.
Well, opensource to the rescue….
A gracious user just started a Wiki for the Composite UI Application Block over at http://cabpedia.com.
Hopefully this post will help spread the word about the new site so more users can contribute 
WorkPlay is the place.
Saturday @ 9 is the time.
$8 is the price (in advance).
The Ugli Stick is the band.
It’s the CD release show for The Ugil Stick’s latest album “Nostoi”. Opening acts are Jackons NLA and Diesel.
I’m really pumped about this album. It really shows how the band has narrowed it’s focus and defined their sound. I think their website said it best:
…Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by Jimmy Nutt, who has worked with the Drive-by Truckers and Jimmy Buffett, this 13-song CD is THE best The Ugli Stick has ever sounded!
Phenominal musicians Daivd Hood (”The Swampers”), Bob Wray (Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Kris Kristofferson and more) and Larry Byrom (Steppenwolf, Neil Young, The Eagles and more) join the band on numerous tracks. Plus two-time Grammy winner Alan Schulman (Ricky Skaggs, Jimmy Buffett and more) helped Jimmy Nutt with some of the final mixing! The resulting CD is absolutely amazing! What does it sound like? Nothing you’ve heard before!
The guys will also be doing an acoustic instore performace at Sam Goody in the Galleria @ 2PM on Saturday where you can pre-purchase the album before it’s street date of Tuesday August 8th.
Below are a couple of tracks from the album that I got a few weeks back. Note: None of these tracks have gone through final mixing or engineering, so they may be different on the CD. Also keep in mind that my site can’t seem to serve up the mp3’s fast enough right now, so you may need to pause it to let it buffer.
