NASA’s Mistake

Um, I can’t let this go without comment. Yesterday NASA’s administrator, Michael Griffin, was interviewed by USAToday. In that interview, he admits that the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station are mistakes. Now, I know that I have a picture of the Space Shuttle on my page, and that picture was [...]

Personal Tech

For a year now I’ve been saying that I wouldn’t go back to using a non-PDA/phone. I’m eating those words now, and I’m glad.
I’ve been using my new phone, the LG VX8100, for a couple of weeks now, and I still love it. Monday I received the USB data cable that I ordered, [...]

Recap

The Good
There were so many good bands this year, and only so much time. I’ve listed my top three here, and why. Keep in mind, I’m picking my favorites, but all bands were good.
Built to Spill – first, their writing is so great. Their songs are musically interesting and catchy. Second, [...]

ACL Day Three

Today was the longest, and most tiring day of the three. And it was also one of the best, musically. I got there at 2:30, just in time for Doves, and man was it hot. Turns out that at 108, today was the hottest day of the year so far! But [...]

Day Two

Today was day two of the ACL festival. We decided this morning that this would be a light day for us, so we were only there for a few hours. But man were those some great hours. First, we found all of our friends within minutes of walking into the park, which [...]

Knock On Wood

Well, its been a couple of days since my site came back up. So far, the changes that I’ve made are working. In the few weeks leading up to my site being taken hostage, I received hundreds of trackback and comment spam posts. It was taking me up to 30 mins each [...]

Pre ACL Festival

This weekend is Austin’s annual Austin City Limits Music Festival. My birthday present from my girlfriend was a 3-day wristband! How awesome is that!?! So, there are several of my favorite bands that I’m looking forward to seeing. Here, in no particular order, is my list.

The Allman Brothers Band
Aqualung
Black Crowes
Bob Mould [...]

Wireless

For the past month I’ve been trying to decide what to do about my cell phone bill. I have gone over my minutes every month for the past 6 months, which has gotten quite expensive. I’ve tried cutting back on my phone usage, but that plan isn’t working. So, I’ve spend literally [...]

I Heart Hackerz

Well, this has not been the summer for Lenwood.cc. This site has been interrupted twice in the past two months now. First, my web host went out of business, causing my site to just vanish. A couple of weeks ago, hackers exploited a vulnerability of b2evo and hijacked my site. Fortunately, [...]
