Odd Thoughts

Debut novelist kills first-time sushi chef

August 24, 2011

Tweet

I engaged in an interesting experiment today. And now that I’m done wanting to bang my head against the sharp corner of my desk, I find  the results interesting.
This started with me seeing an ad for a terrible-looking book with a terrible-sounding title with terribly-written teaser copy and a terribly-illustrated cover1. And if that wasn’t [...]

I can’t take this shit no mo’…

July 12, 2011

Tweet

So as it turns out, I’m in a shit mood tonight. And against my own better judgment, I’m gonna blog about it.
I’ve let my shit mood overtake me tonight in all the things I do. That means I’ve dropped the filter. Any missives sent tonight are pure, unadulterated Evo. In charge tonight is the guy [...]

Crossing the line on friendship

April 1, 2011

Tweet

Updated the day after April 1st, 2011 – Why yes, this was my half-hearted attempt at an April Fool’s missive for 2011. Not a lot of folks here in town were suckered in, but more than one from afar fell for it. Heh. I suck.
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ve probably [...]

I’ve been called a dick by better people than you

March 9, 2011

Tweet

As it turns out, I’m a dick.
Some background for the uninitiated: I run1 a website called Podiobooks.com that offers up serialized free audio books. We take any book2 as long as the author/producer meets our technical requirements. Yes, they do the work. And we give these serialized audio book files away for free. And [...]

Why my movie watching habits are better than yours

September 27, 2010

Tweet

I clearly am not the target for Hollywood movie studios. Of the some 500 movies that came out this year, I’ve seen eight. Eight. Rarely do I bother paying any attention to the Oscars, as I’ve likely not seen any of those up for best picture. This isn’t a new phenomenon. I thought Full Metal [...]

The Perfect Cuban Mojito

July 3, 2010

Tweet

It’s hot. And to combat the heat, I’ve created the Perfect Cuban Mojito. No, it doesn’t use white rum. It doesn’t use piles of sugar. And no, you probably won’t like it. But if you like drinks the way I like drinks, please enjoy.
Evo’s Perfect Cuban Mojito

Dark rum, probably by some distiller you’ve never heard [...]

The magic of Trololo

March 6, 2010

Tweet

I went from hating this, to not being able to get it out of my head, to loving this.
And because I continue to run into people who’ve not experience the awesomeness that is Trololo…

There’s also version for people on ludes, ecstasy, and LSD. Yes, each one is a different experience.
I love the internets.

More video silliness: Twitter Uncovered: History and Monetization Revealed!

February 14, 2010

Tweet

It’s been one of those months. Sorry. But though I’ve been neglecting the blog, I’ve not been neglecting fun.
Here’s a bit of stupidity that Jeff and I came up with some time ago that has finally been green-lit. Green-lighted? Green-lanterened? Anyhow, it’s all about the little-known monitization angle and history of Twitter.

Or maybe we [...]

My inner math geek mucks up business metaphors

December 11, 2009

Tweet

Image by Beni Ishaque Luthor via Flickr

My inner math geek squirms a bit each time I pass along this equation:
CwF + RtB = $$
That’s inspired by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails and simplified to the above by Mike Masnick of TechDirt. It describes the approach Nine Inch Nails is taking to marketing and business [...]

Trying not to get punched in the face

June 3, 2009

Tweet

Hugh MacLeod is very smart. I don’t know the man in any way other than reading his blog or looking at his back-of-business-card art, but the smarts shine through.
Today, in this photo, he’s accurately represented how I’ve been feeling for some time now:

And in a strange twist of fate, I’m once again getting more involved [...]

Maybe you shouldn’t vote.

October 2, 2008

Tweet

I am quite possibly the worlds most apathetic voter.
But did you see the key word in that phrase? Voter.

But hey, maybe you shouldn’t vote.
Passing on from Matt Selznick.

Suicide Girls on Comic Con

July 26, 2008

Tweet

I so badly wanted to tweet this sentence from a Suicide Girls report on the first impressions of Comic Con , but it was well over the 140 character limit.
On the train to SD, I saw a gentleman reading a novel with a dragon on the front and immediately understood that he was probably [...]

Unintentional consequences of social media

May 8, 2008

Tweet

Yesterday I tweeted about an incident involving one of my favorite food establishment and an unfortunate outbreak of Hep A. It wasn’t a store in my local area. I had no immediate connection to the happenings and I’m honestly not at all concerned it can/will happen to me, though it certainly could. No, I tweeted [...]

On zombies, praise and the Easter Chicken.

March 23, 2008

Tweet

First, happy Zombie Day. Don’t get offended. It’s not like I’m walking around town with a clapboard. And you chose to come here, so you should be used to it by now.
Major props go out to JC Hutchins, the man, the myth, the fucker that owes me a beer for his unsolicited praise of me [...]

Markteing is for assholes

March 15, 2008

Tweet

Seriously. Why bother posting anything to this website when Hugh MacLeod has all the insights?

So says a person guilty of being an asshole. But I’m trying to change. Not from being an asshole. Just from doing asshole marketing.

Reflection on the future

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. Today I leave you with this small exception:

A Softer World is my most favoritest web-comic. It speaks to me. Some days more than others.

December 21, 2007

I’ve decided to approach my 2008 convention schedule with significantly more thought and care than previously. On the top of my list of I CAN HAZ is ROFLCon. Teh funny, to be sure!
I reached out to the organizers today to see if the whole podiobook movement is worthy of inclusion or not. As I told [...]

Nabbed this from Chris Pirillo’s Flickr photo feed.
I have nothing more to add, other than:
Can I get a Hell yeah!
I’m going to make my own version of this sign and plaster it to my door.

My kind of humor

August 1, 2007

Tweet

I’m not a huge fan of comics — either online or off. But I have been following A Softer World for a while. They make it easy for me, putting the image right in their RSS feed. Love that!
I felt the need to share their most recent:

What kind of funny do I like? This [...]
