Ad-aware 6.0

Posted on January 29, 2003 by Solonor

I think I’m losing my core audience here with all this Blogwhore talk:

ME: So, then there’s this person who uses a fake Blogspot link that says I should stop hanging around with blog kiddies and grow up…
Sgt. Grump: (to Cableman) Do you have any idea what he just said?
Cableman: Sorta. He’s obsessed with this dumb game.
Sgt. Grump: Oh, that’s why his blog hasn’t been any fun to read lately.

So, for your geeky pleasure, how about Lavasoft Announces Ad-aware 6.0!

Yay! I’m a weiner! Except that now I have to give my address to Chris Pirillo. Maybe this isn’t such a good thing after all…

We’re A Happy Family

Posted on January 29, 2003 by Solonor

The Ramones Tribute Album, featuring covers from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob Zombie, U2, Marilyn Manson, Tom Waits(?), is finally set to hit stores in February.

You that know me realize that my love for the Ramones is only exceeded by my love for the Beatles. Thus, I am not holding out a ton of hope that any of the listed acts will get it right. For example, have you ever seen U2 not be serious? You can’t play “Beat on the Brat” without your tongue firmly planted in your cheek! So, either they are going to get all maudlin and “This is a tribute to all the abused children of the world, man” OR they’re gonna look stupid. The only one that looks right to me is Kiss doing “Rock and Roll Radio.”

We shall see.

What is this insanity?

Posted on January 28, 2003 by Solonor

I was going to write a post for all you confused people to try and explain this Blogwhore game. But Spork Cistah has already done such a lovely job, I’ll just send you there instead. Yeah, I know, I’m giving links to the competition, but she’s just so darn cute and sweet. Curse her!

I Don’t Get It… What is Blogwhore?

I Got Me A Finger!

Posted on January 27, 2003 by Solonor

I’m a little behind in my reading, so it took until tonight to notice that I won a Golden Finger Award! I am “Biggest Blogwhore with a Conscience”. I chose the more family-oriented version of the statue.

Golden Finger Award

Sure, I had to be nominated in the comments in the SECOND ROUND, but at least Lambchop loves me.
