My new favorite website is http://www.menwholooklikekennyrogers.com/. A quick view of their hitbox stats (the same company that I use) shows that since they launched the site on May 9th, their projected monthly traffic is about 220,000 users. That’s pretty impressive considering my almost six year old website attracts roughly 5,000 hits a month. Today I also found out that according to the MTA schedule, it…
May 22, 2001Celebrity sighting of the weekend: Terri Irwin, wife of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin was spotted doing a signing at the Discovery Channel Store at South Coast Plaza. Speaking of South Coast, they finally opened the Garden Walkway to the Crystal Court section of the mall. Not much going on in that portion of the mall, but I just love the fact that the mall is…
May 21, 2001Snippets of the official Club Josh song have been added to the tellme site. Today has always been a cosmic day for me. I don’t know what it is about the date, but a lion share of memorable events seem to happen around this date. 21 years ago today, Mount Saint Helens exploded. Several times on this day, I have had to go to the…
May 18, 2001<rant> I am completely over websites that are run by people who have think they have something to prove by going out of their way to rag on something. It is bad enough when the forum on a particular site is dominated by people whose idea of constructive criticism and opinion is “Man (fill in name of media company/site/person/etc.) Sucks.” I remember when Usenet degenerated…
May 17, 2001Still recovering from yesterday. I did do a minor update to the Cyber Surfin’ Safari. As noted last week, some Jarre pages are closing down so I decided to remove links to them. I also added some misc. links that I had in my work browser, but not on the site. With Dave’s assistance, I hope to have the official josh song on the Tellme…
May 16, 2001I found out that I am worshipped by a billion people in India. Ok, maybe not a billion. Here is the story: Apparently Ford Motor Company calls its new Ford IKON ‘the josh machine’. It has even set up a website for the josh machine at www.thejoshclub.com. You can get screensavers and desktop wallpapers galore. It gets even weirder. To celebrate the one year anniversary…
May 15, 2001I really need to get around to a better system of doing the daily updates. I need a more automated system like Blogger so I can post to all the versions at the same time. I realized this because in order to make a Tellme application work dynamically, I need something that can output VXML on a regular basis. I think if I hone my…
May 14, 2001I finally have begun working on a new version of jarrepalooza. I’m still playing with the colors and stuffs, but I am well on my way. I was inspired because today I found some more MP3’s online for my collection that I didn’t have before. Also, I found new versions of some that I did have before but were not of good quality. Fresh from…
May 11, 2001I need a vacation. It has been 8 months since I have been anywhere significant – i.e. require extensive air travel. I was thinking about Europe, but was also thinking that that would be nicer in October. I also have been to Hawaii recently, but there are islands that I still want to visit – namely the big island Hawaii. So I looked up the…
May 10, 2001From the Xterra log, I have noticed that gas prices in my neighborhood have risen 40 cents since April 5th. That’s pretty darn steep considering the previous 10 months saw gas fluctuate between $1.41 and 1.61. I certainly hope in the next few years that some more hybrid vehicles start hitting the scene. I now have a new favorite band: Icy Hot Stuntaz.
