Freshies
Hello. Welcome to 2006, and welcome to the new face of Brainside Out Industries. A couple months of tireless labor and sleepless nights have resulted in this new slice of hotness. The site has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and migrated to a new server, so it’s possible there are still a couple glitches sitting in the wings. Feel free to have a look around, kick the tires, and shout real loud at the top of your lungs. I’m really excited for this year, as my gut tells me some rather tremendous things are afoot.
Aside from toying with the very fabric of spacetime, there’s little we can do but sit back and wait for it all to happen. However, I do not discount the endless possibilities that could be allowed by the subtle twisting of physical law. Bending reality to my will is just the way of things.
Anyway, we are back from our Caribbean cruise, which I must say was The Weirdest Thing I Have Ever Done Ever. Our ship had thirteen bars and a three-story waterslide. Every night we ate luxurious meals of roast duckling and lobster and veal. I heard the Jackson Five version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town no less than one hundred times. My brother-in-law won a solid gold plastic ship-on-a-stick for his synchronized swimming act. One night I threw down my James Brown karaoke bit and the entire bar erupted in a standing ovation. A three-year-old gave me the most precious gift ever. I bore witness to the Hairiest Chest Contest.
I’ll let you in on all the details before too long.
That would explain all the extra links in the RSS feed (which doesn’t quite work, BTW: All the entry links are as such: file:///weblog/archives/2005/12/18/chuck_norris_chuck_chuck_norris.php — might want to make sure your templates are setup right).
Otherwise, I like the look.
Thanks for the tip, Jake. I think I’ve got all the feeds fixed up now.
I also fixed an overflow problem with comments, a shortcoming that you so quickly pointed out.
Came here via the updated feed link. And glad I could be of service on breaking stuff so you can fix it. Anything else you want me to look at 😉
Heh. I say keep kicking at it, and when it finally falls to the ground and tries to shield its face with its hands, just keep kicking.
UM…LIKE, DO YOU KNOW COBOL? I just have DOS…whatever, i possess limited computer knowledge. what i can comment on is the INSANE AMOUNT OF CRUD IN THE CASCADES!!! last weekend i blew around bachelor at a constant bitch about the 76mph gusts while nate waited at the bottom for me laughing as i cut around falling to the ground at the lift line due to spindly jello-legs. Needless to say, i redeemed myself at meadows today. killer. happy new year, Dane!
Hah! Sounds like ya’ll had quite the epic day at Bachelor. I wish I coulda been there… I’d have played the part of the asshole snowboard instructor, all pickin’ up little snot-nosed grommets and tossin’ them in yer way.
Glad to hear that Meadows was a bit kinder to ya. I loved riding their terrain park last year, considering that there wasn’t enough snow to do anything else. Sigh.
Happy New Year to ya, Lee of Lez! I’m still madly in love with Built to Spill.
