current incarnation. i even went so far as breaking my computer in the process by tinkering with .dll files in my windows directory, but i have to admit that fixing it was a fun process akin to solving a difficult puzzle. and now that this task is complete it’s on to bigger and better things: finishing my halloween costume!</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/11931731884http://www.boohonda.com/post/11931731884Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:22:00 -0700<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bDYYwkkBGiA" width="618"

that is itunes. i’ve started using <a href="http://getmusicbee.com/">musicbee</a> instead, a program that i’m pretty much in love with at the moment.</p> <p>for one it supports flac, which i had a lot of but had to previously use vlc for. another fantastic feature is that it automatically scrobbles tracks to last.fm without any additional plugins, which brings me to my next point: i love scrobbling! i really wish i had started it sooner. for the uninitiated scrobbling simply means keeping a history of all the music you listen to. my last.fm acct is <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/boohonda">here</a>, and one of the main reasons i started doing this is so that in the near future i can make a badass <a href="http://i.imgur.com/jEqB7.jpg">music history chart</a>. if you haven’t started scrobbling you should, all the cool kids are doing it. and if you have started then you should add me.</p> <p>since i’ve migrated to a new music platform i decided that it was finally time to organize my music library. i started about a week ago and i’m currently up to the letter “i” by which i mean adding art work, tagging every song and album appropriately, and deleting/downloading pieces of my collection so that is makes sense. i’ve got a lot of work ahead of me but it’ll be perfect when it’s finished. shouldn’t take more than a few more weeks. let’s hope i can find time to work on my video during as well…</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/9615810279http://www.boohonda.com/post/9615810279Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:04:00 -0700<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/yiOws.jpg" height="309" width="618"/></p> <p>544 images later, i’m finally done editing my still photographs. god damn that took forever. i’m only about halfway done at this point, but now the fun begins: video editing! i’m hoping to start this soon but we’ll see how much progress i make since the fam is coming into town this weekend. there will be much halo and much rejoicing.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/8723831269http://www.boohonda.com/post/8723831269Tue, 09 Aug 2011 22:38:00 -0700<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/6rLPj.jpg" height="309" width="618"/></p> <p>the fam is going out of town tomorrow. i was super stoked to go but alas I could not get the time off. instead i will be doing the next best thing: working on my next video. this is a small preview. i took 750 photos that i will be editing and animating in the coming weeks. finally made use of that damn green screen.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/7917519006http://www.boohonda.com/post/7917519006Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:39:11 -0700<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KaqC5FnvAEc" frameborder="0"

storm hit phoenix yesterday. looks like something out of the mummy. needless to say the car looks like shit and everything tastes like sand now. although i suppose that isn’t much different from before the storm hit.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/7325368052http://www.boohonda.com/post/7325368052Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:48:03 -0700<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xwnJ5Bl4kLI"

thing was pain in the ass. now google comes out with this, trying to suck me back into social network. guess we’ll have to wait to see if i get an invite.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/7065131347http://www.boohonda.com/post/7065131347Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:23:00 -0700<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QyYbvVAtlWk" frameborder="0"

this into a full movie? these 6 minutes alone are probably better than the prequels put together. also, bender as a space cowboy. fuck yea.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6545103872http://www.boohonda.com/post/6545103872Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:22:00 -0700<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/8kVA9.jpg" height="309" width="618"/></p> <p>i would pay a ridiculous sum for a zelda chess set such as this. really fantastic work. another pic <a href="http://i.imgur.com/BsNTa.jpg">here</a> and more info on how they were handmade <a href="http://fizzmanindustries.com/">here</a>. speaking of chess i wish i knew some fantastic strategies in this game. whenever i win against a regular peon i feel all high and mighty when in reality i’m sure whatever i just did would pale in comparison to a chess master. teach me your ways <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue_%28chess_computer%29">deep

far my favourite book out of the series, and while i was satisfied with the ending i was a bit disappointed with the anti-climactic final battle. a few days ago i began reading the hitchhiker’s guide to galaxy, something i’ve been wanting to cross off my list for some time. it’s been more than half a year since i’ve been able to quench my lust for sci-fi so this is a welcome change. don’t forget your towel.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6375073643http://www.boohonda.com/post/6375073643Thu, 09 Jun 2011 21:16:00 -0700<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/zR5CV.jpg" height="309" width="618"/></p> <p>still not quite sure what to think about this. i’m intrigued but i feel like it will be a repeat of the original wii: fun for a moment, but shortly after a dust collector. new smash is all i care about though, especially now that is will finally be on a handheld system. i’ve been clamoring for this for years.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6309961086http://www.boohonda.com/post/6309961086Tue,

yet to have a drink with and even more that i wish to have another drink with. skated with an ex-pro skater yesterday. carving the bowl is something that needs to be experienced by every human being. yes, even the cavemen. sometimes i think i listen to too much radiohead. then i listen to more radiohead.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6199919037http://www.boohonda.com/post/6199919037Sat, 04 Jun

redemption. all of yesterday morning i had a recurring thought of being an english teacher. out of the blue really. a lot of it had to do with looking back at some of my favorite teachers and classes and how much i currently enjoy reading and (trying) to write. seems like an impossible career turnaround at this point but hey, i’m young. never know what can happen in the next 50 years. and i figure we’ll all be living to be 200 since we’ll be half cyborg by 2050. i’ve got some time to kill.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6130423191http://www.boohonda.com/post/6130423191Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:05:56

place to shred. let’s hope the new blank board i got lasts a few months. carving bowls is getting easier and a lot more fun. there are a few nice skating spots in el paso that i really want to hit up next time i’m in town. i really need to practice my piano more. i kinda wish i knew what i wanted to do with my life.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6095720665http://www.boohonda.com/post/6095720665Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:11:51 -0700<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Ebcwe.jpg" height="309" width="618"/></p> <p>deleted my facebook, twitter, and a buncha other shit today. didn’t get the time off I needed for summer vacation at work. really fucking sucks. been listening to a ton of old school prog rock band king crimson. in the court of the crimson king is a fantastic song. wish i heard of these guys sooner. buckethead is coming in a few weeks. his shows look like a blast. craving more chiba hut. looking forward to finishing the dark materials series and finally starting the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. i’m going to try to make actual blog posts more often.</p>http://www.boohonda.com/post/6059923600http://www.boohonda.com/post/6059923600Tue, 31 May 2011 20:02:00 -0700<iframe width="400" height="243"
