Turn Left at the Blogspot
Ok, so I am capping off this blog for now. I have found a new home.
http://blog.boostventilator.com
It took awhile to get the content moved and it is going to take even more time to tag and categorize everything, but I am happy with the move to Wordpress and mediatemple (turns out I am not alone).

Word!
Metro-technical: n. Someone who's willing to try ANY piece of software or hardware for at least a week until the shine wears off and they go sniffing for the next buzz. The metro-technical is to the far left of the tech scale, equidistant from the suspender-wearing sys admin and the nervous iPod upgrader. (

Quote
"Jon Stewart did a capable job, but I didn't feel like he was embracing the movie business. Jon doesn't have the basic understanding of show business that Johnny Carson had. Jon's fresh and irreverent, but I don't think it worked." - Tim Allen Reviews Jon Stewart | Defamer
