Somewhere, some time ago, weblogs have become blogs. I am still struggling with my PDA site. I am trying to lay it out as simple as I can, and at the same time make it accessible via all sorts of handheld devices and cell phones. Where I want to go is to have a Club Josh Handheld edition that includes some trip diaries as well as my…
November 2, 2000Not much sleep last night. I went out to West Hollywood to their annual Parade – which is not really a parade, just a bunch of people wandering up and down Santa Monica Blvd. Most popular costume seemed to be either Tigger or Pooh. A close second had to be superheroes in general – most of who seemed to be going with the “Superhero at…
November 1, 2000I always did think this was a rather bizarre tradition. Dress weird and go ask strangers for candy – seems to be anti-everything parents tell you when growing up. It does explain why kids love it so much and at the same time why they never seem to listen the other 364 days of the year. Site update today – Europe 1998 premieres in the…
October 31, 2000This weekend at Disneyland I picked up another “Disneyland Forever” CD. For those of you not in the know, Disney lets you pick out 10 of your favorite attraction or ambiance sounds per CD and will burn you a copy all for the low-low price of $20. My selection this weekend was Safety Spiels and other misc. PA announcements from the park. Altogether now: “Please…
October 30, 2000Well I finally joined the 21st Century. If you ever get the desire to read my Daily Update via PDA It is all made possible by the magic of AvantGo technology. It has been a week since I started the Daily Update, and I think I am finally getting the hang of it. I want to do some improvements to the backend tech to make…
October 27, 2000Whatever happened to Silophone? This is one of the weirdest/coolest things out there and now I can’t hear the Real Audio stream. I was disappointed to find out that Jeremy’s Microbatch Ice Creams has suspended operations. Even their website at microbatch.com is gone. I had never tried their Ice Cream, but this was the guy who started a business in college and then won a…
October 26, 2000After not hearing about the Hamster Dance in years, it comes screaming back. Today I received two different URL’s that are parodies: The George W. Bush Dance and The Jesus Dance – apologies in advance. Dack is responsible for wasting more and more of my time. Today he pointed me to Am I Hot or Not. Dack is pretty good at dispensing what I like…
October 25, 2000Last night’s entertainment was On Her Majesty’s Secret Service or as I like to refer it: The Star Trek III of James Bond Movies – basically a good character piece that does not get the respect that it deserves. Telly Savalas has a great time as Blofeld and Diana Rigg is great as Tracy. George Lazenby does an OK job as Bond (I thought he…
October 24, 2000My-oh-my that was an interesting weekend. Several people were over on Saturday to celebrate my birthday. Consensus from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Only one person went on record as vomiting, which was the same number as this year’s A-V Day. It was a weird day emotionally – I found out that one friend’s grandmother died and another friend’s grandfather died. So while it was…
October 23, 2000I’ve decided to start a daily update. No real reason, but it occurred to me that it might be interesting to someone to see a year in my life. No promises on weekend updates! One of the coolest things is up for auction on the new Disney Auctions site. Anyone with a spare 30 grand can get it. For me it comes down to: Huge…
