Hey everybody,
I’d just like to make a comment on my blog for once in a great while. As you can see I changed the “PICTURE OF THE WEEK” to “PICTURE OF THE WEEK/MONTH/YEAR.” Why? you may ask?
Main reason: because I’m too lazy to update the picture every week. It’s too much work, so changing the title above the picture gives me more leniency so I don’t feel guilty when I go to my blog.

Second thing I’d like to say is GO TO INDYMOGUL.COM! I’ve already posted about this site, but if you have any interest whatsoever in Amateur Film Making you should go to this site. You will find a very encouraging community of film makers of all skill levels. Anyways, go there and subscribe. It will make them feel better and you will learn a lot.
Peace.

Here’s a pretty funny Indy Mogul clip. Don’t get offended. It’s not good for you.

1. Clean Bathroom

2. Double check to make sure the marker you use is permanent

3. Write Message

I thought it was funny. The whole reason I wrote this message is because she first wrote on the mirror a message that said “clean your bathroom” or something like that. I figured I would reply.

i just downloaded this sweet blogging client onto my Mogul and i have to say i’m quite impressed. its cool to know that i can post on this blog from my phone. sometimes i have something cool to say, but im nowhere near my computer so this will come in handy. just dont hate for my lack of grammar or punctuation. im lazy, so ill talk more about it later.
peace out.

I wrote a post about this earlier, but I thought I would put it in front of you again in case you want to jump on the band-wagon. The offer goes till May 15, 2008.

I signed up a few months ago, and it really works. You just sign up, give them your Social Security #, routing number (so they can transfer the cash) and some other info. I usually joke about the whole giving people your social security number thing, but this site really wants it. Most reputable online payment gateways and cash handlers require a social security number, so don’t worry about it. As always though, If you don’t feel good about it, by all means don’t do it. Just know that I did it months ago and have suffered no repercussions as of now.

Here’s the link:

After you sign up is when you will give them the routing information to your bank account. They will make two small deposits into your account (exactly like paypal for their verification process) and then you will log back in to RevolutionMoneyExchange.com and verify the values that they deposited.

Please click the image link above to sign up.
Any questions, feel free to contact me.

This is quite a handy-dandy software. I use it all the time when I give feedback on website’s.

Look at the pictures below, you should get the idea of what the software is for. You can download it here. This program can be downloaded on either a Mac or a PC.

This program is definitely worth your time if you do any sort of screen capturing. Try it out!

I found this pretty hilarious.

If you don’t know who Mark Hoppus is, you can jump off a cliff. Really though, he was the bassist/vocalist for Blink 182 (before their indefinite hiatus), and he is now the bassist/vocalist for one of my favorite bands +44. He and Travis Barker started +44 after Blink was dissolved.

He now has a free podcast conveniently self-titled - HiMyNameIsMark. You can find it by searching the iTunes music store, or you can check out his blog at HiMyNameIsMark.com.

You can tell he’s a cool guy just by looking at the picture.

Anyway, the whole purpose of this post is to tell you about a funny announcement he made on his blog. He talks about how his mom called him up yelling about how his Wikipedia page was wrong and how he needed to fix it. It made me laugh, so here’s the original text:

Wikipedia Is Wrong

April 10th, 2008

my mom called me the other day angry about wikipedia. she said there were all kinds of inaccuracies in the “mark hoppus” entry. first of all, why is my mom cyber-stalking me? secondly, why does she call ME to yell about it? in any case, i checked it out today, and indeed the entry is wrong. not that it matters, but my name is mark allan hoppus. i have no idea where markus came from, but someone is going to have to answer to a very angry mark hoppus’s mother. also, my sister’s name is anne mcmurray (not wright). so NOW someone has to answer to an angry mark hoppus’s sister. AND, as much as i wish i did, i do not own part of famous stars and straps. so now someone has to answer to a very angry mark hoppus’s bandmate. and finally, whoever the ugly guy in the photo is, it’s definitely not me. i don’t look like that, do i? i hope i don’t. it’s gotta be someone else… in fact, that photo has inspired me and chris to start a website called youhavedumbface.com where we are going to put photos of all our friends in the middle of talking or just looking stupid. i am proud to be the first entry on the site. but back on point, can someone please tell wikipedia to spell my name right? you’d make my mom very happy.

Turns out a loyal Mark Hoppus supporter has gone through the page and fulfilled each and every one of his requests. Wouldn’t it rock to be that famous? I’d love to meet the guy.

Put aside your “I’m not listening to rap” pride and click “play” already.

Have you ever listened to music because you get a “special” feeling when you listen to it? Maybe it’s because I’ve been researching 2pac lately, but if you listen to the lyrics it’s actually quite insightful and “touching” if you will. It drives me crazy that racism was an issue for so long (and still is). Anyway, I think it’s a cool song. I’m sure I’ll still love it for years to come. Just so you don’t think I’m a rap fiend, I just got a Mozart cd in the mail the other day for some random reason, but I listen to that too. As I stated in another post, I think all music is magical.

Give this song a shot, (no pun intended).

Check these guys out! http://www.indymogul.com/ I’ve been interested in video editing and movie making for the past couple of years. I just stumbled across this website/podcast about a month ago. Their whole purpose is to educate amateur film makers. Your typical podcast episode will show the crew building some prop and then at the end, demonstrating the prop with a comical movie.

It would be worth your time to go to their website if you’re the least bit interested in making/editing films.

I just reformatted my hard drive on my PC so I’m in the process of re-installing all of my programs. Windows Live Messenger is usually one of the first things I put on my computer throughout the install it always offers you more options such as, Windows Live Toolbar, their photo gallery and many other programs. Among those options was Windows Live Writer.

I’ve been hating how I have to login to my eliteeternity.com account to post anything on here, so I figured I would give Windows Live Writer a shot. I didn’t expect much out of the program, but I’m pretty amazed. If you’re not sure what Windows Live Writer is by now, I’ll fill you in. It’s a software that you install on your computer that allows you to publish content to your blog. It’s very nice. I would recommend it to anyone with a wordpress blog or any other kind of blog. It’s very versatile and took about 5 minutes to install and start posting. I thought it was going to be a pain, setting it up to login to my account and all, but it was very straightforward and simple.

Good one Windows!

I just finished reading this article and I’m pretty annoyed.

“On March 1 of 2009, you will be required to use the 801 before your phone number to complete even a call across the street,”  says a Qwest spokesman.

So apparently as of March 1, 2009 I’m going to have to dial 801 (or 385) before every number I dial, even if it’s just to my brothers room across the hall when I’m asking him if he wants to go eat somewhere. Man, what’s this world coming to? Three more digits to dial! I may as well just sit at my computer desk and wait for my contact to login on my windows live messenger (or skype, or yahoo) so I don’t have to even move a muscle. Maybe I’ll just cancel my Qwest phone subscription altogether. How ya like me now?

In all seriousness though, I think this sucks. I wonder what caused the change.
