So I spend an inordinate time on this blog reporting Entertainment news which I find interesting, but I realize many of you probably do not find it nearly as interesting. That's why I'm starting my weekly "Random Sh*t" feature. This week we're going to take a look at probably the funniest tour rider I've ever read. For those that don't know, a rider is basically a list of stuff a band needs from

I spied with my naked (is that the right part of this saying?) eye...a budding leaf on the hedge in front of my house.It is a glorious day in hedge land...The hedge!

I believe someone used the term “gorg” to describe Angelina Jolie in this photo. I just like the fact they all wear black. Oh, I also like the fact they even though they are in France, they still head to McDonalds like all Americans because as much as we loathe McDonalds in the US, we [...]

Yesterday was gorgeous here. Today promises to be even prettier. The trees are changing every time I look out the window! The boys are changing every time I look at them. We are on a push to finish things up & tie up loose ends so the boys will be able to take a short break (hopefully they will get two weeks off) from school. I will be on a cleaning & decluttering roll, hopefully. We have

The English Courtesan is all of a flutter today because she’s been tagged by the Delectable Dolly Mopp of London! ‘Oh the honour, the honour!’ wept the English Courtesan lying prostrate before the Deliciousness of Dolly ‘The English Courtesan is not worthy!’.Dolly Mopp mopped the English Courtesan’s fevered brow. With a saucy and secretive smile and a brush of her bountiful bosoms, she whispered in the English Courtesan’s ear…no, sorry, that’s a story for another day isn’t it?Those of the readers who have yet to become acquainted with the Mistress of Moppery should hurry over to Dolly Mopp's online lair at once. She has an online Venetian boudoir and even a Victorian boudoir for the English Courtesan to read Victorian novels in! She wears shorts with a double breasted s

So, the tour is over. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to go. :( I heard nothing but good things from everyone that attended. I'm glad everything went smoothly and that there was no BOBW drama. LOL I really love the promotion that they did too from radio to David Letterman. Impressed!Here are a couple of videos, links mostly from backstage stuff:Rock Your Style Contest Winners Meet Jay-Z &

Jaden at Screenwriting For Hollywood gave me this Blog tag to write 8 random things about myself. So, here they are.1. I know I’m the Brunette Bombshell, but last summer I dyed my hair blonde for 2 months. Blondes do have more fun.2. I passed my Series 7 exam on the first attempt, but lied to my coworkers and said that I failed and only passed after a second try so they wouldn’t hate me because they b*tched about how hard it was and how many of them had to take it 3 times before passing.3. Before I fall asleep I daydream about money. I know it’s sick isn’t it?4. My favorite word is "CUNT". I get it from my mother, she says it all the time. lol5. My father is handicap. It happened when I was 5 and I’m still traumatized by the accident. To this day I can’t talk about it.6. When I

I observed a a few searches in my metadata stats for a shell based random generator. I know Korn, Bash, and Z Shell shells support a RANDOM variable. Depending on the shell, I will use a print and/or echo command to output its value. The pseudo-random generator outputs an integer between 0 and 32767 - yes, a very limited range. Here are a few examples for these three different shells.Korn Shell# ksh# echo $RANDOM23508# echo $RANDOM22618# echo $RANDOM1864# echo $RANDOM $RANDOM4958 29989# print $RANDOM30418# print $RANDOM4992# print $RANDOM $RANDOM $RANDOM29436 27342 12946Seed the sequence of numbers# RANDOM=100# print $RANDOM12662# echo $RANDOM23392# RANDOM=100# echo $RANDOM12662# echo $RANDOM23392Bash Shell# bash# echo $RANDOM3107# echo $RANDOM7897Z Shell# zsh# print $RANDOM32274# for i in

One thing I haven't done much of lately is out and out writing, and I kind of miss it. The main reason I started doing this blog was to write down what ever crazy thought I may have as well to talk about the music I've been posting. I was always about quality over quantity and in some ways I've turned this into one of things I was against. Since starting this new job, 11 of my daily hours is

Today we have a quickie for SQL jockies working in MS Access land: how to select a result set of random records. Disclaimer The meaning of the word quickie in this article is two-fold. First, this is a small article — a quick tip. Second, this is not mean to be used for large or frequently-called queries. ORDER BY RAND() is very inefficient. The table I am working with contains only a few hundred records, and I need to generate the result set just once. How not to do it Thinking in MySQL terms, my first instinct was to use the following query to produce a small result set of random records. SELECT * FROM [MyTable]ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT nThis does not work in Microsoft Access — instead, you need to call the Rnd function.Querying Random Records in MS AccessThe following query

How stimulating! Comical yet tragic, sort of like global politics. I watch this and I just picture military leaders thinking out loud, and it goes a little something like this: “go my precious little minions, you may not be of the highest intellectual caliber, but you sure take a bullet like a trooper, and with the right tools boy can you mow down them civilians, that’ll put the fear of democracy into their blackened hearts, and hey if I happen to get a ‘lil summin summin’ out of it then what the heck why not! Invade Away” Don’t you just love the Armed Forces, so much cooler than those Un-Armed Forces, aka. Palestinians, ya boy it just ain’t the same fighting a war with a rock! PS. CLICK THE ADS!!!!! GEEZ!

Time never moves slower than when you are watching a progress bar when you're downloading something or installing a program on your computer. I think there's a special version of hell where you are forced to re-watch your own life as a spectator. I will be particularly upset about all the time I spent watching a blue bar that said 89%.

"XSketch is a new Ajax/javascript game that lets up to seven users play pictionary with each other. One person gets a word and starts drawing, the other users guess. If someone gets it right, both the drawer and the guesser get points. This is the third game created by Ryan Dewsbury on the Google Web Toolkit (he also wrote a book on the subject). His first effort was a Texas Holdem poker game called gpokr. He then created kdice, a Risk-like online game which was nominated for a Crunchies award last January."[via tech crunch]

Don't you love sites like deviantART and Flickr where you can just browse around and can find some of the strangest photos. I sure do.

How about a drink?Seriously...Now this it high class:May be I shouldn't go surfing...And last but not least:

As you have read previously, I love the sounds of New Orleans Rhythm & blues and Swamp Pop. This is definitely Swamp Pop at its finest! Freddy Fender recorded his signature song, Wasted Days & Wasted Nights many times. This video, shared to me by Dave the Swinger is the very first release of the song from 1960 on the Duncan label. Enjoy this great sound!

Just to let you know there is a slightly NSFW image about halfway through this. It would be really NSFW if not for the distance and some strategically placed flower pots, ala Austin Powers.

Christine Baranski starts us off. Honestly, do you think she will be in any other photos anywhere else?

*Sigh*I just finished reading 13 lectures on Complementary Medicine in 13 hours. Not straight 13 hours non-stop la. I not bit-cho-so... yet. Started yesterday night, all the way till tonight.I learnt to late that I can't just cover everything in that module the day before the paper itself, as I initially planned to do. After looking at the module guide yesterday night, I began panicking - this module has 28 (or is it 27?) lectures - the most among all the modules. T-THence the motivation and energy to study them lectures as completely and as quickly as possible. At first, it was just some recalls on certain topics. Then it was memory re-inforcing. And later on, struggles to imprint all information in my almost bursting brain.And then I came to this :(excerpt from Traditional Chinese Medici

The title of this question here is a little misleading because you can use this little web app to serve lots of stuff besides quotes, like random ads or words of wisdom. Get your geek on and swap out scripts and images galore!Originally we used the free RandomQuote ASP generator to feed our geeky quotes in our sub header above. Have you seen it before?Pretty cool stuff huh? Now what if I told you the Busted Tee Shirt Ads on the right bar were also served up by this generator?Result: Different ad and quote ,out of our database, on every refresh! After tweaking, pushing, prodding (our coder not the program) this proved to work very well and we have been very happy with the results. But after a while we realized that this handy little random generator, complete with a very aesthetically pleas

One of the things Vinyl, CD and even ye olde Cassette Tape have over the less traditional media like mp3 is that they normally come fitted with a smidgeon of information about the band in question. The problem with these bitrate ridden objects is that their ID Tags are more often than not as barren as a Samantha Mumba gig. So from time to time I'll happen across a tune that offers little in the way of clues. 'Dream' by Random (!) is one such orphaned ditty. Normally I couldn't give two hoots about a family-free-mptree but this particular effort is too good to be senselessly deleted and promptly forgotten about. The issue is exasperated by the fact that Google has failed Random completely and if Google can't find it (and Poirot, Marple and Holmes are all dead - Fletcher doesn't really count

As a commemoration of my 300th blog entry today, I have removed several potentially libelous blog entries I’ve posted in the last couple of months in regards to the recently passed controversial Internet and Electronic bill, which had the support of less than 1% of Indonesian bloggers . No wonder. Most of us bloggers couldn’t speak out very much for ourselves these days, which is exactly the reason why I’ve been circulating out protests by using a list of e-mails that a top blogger has provided. Our works have kinda become semi-underground now, and let's just hope there won’t be any neo-Che Guevara suddenly springing up of nowhere.There are also two blog entries I have removed in order to save myself from embarrassment.

Pictures of hot chicks going to night clubs hardly qualifies as 'newsworthy'. But let's face it, that's the type of hard-hititng journalism this site is build on.

We were blessed with the most perfect last 'full' day here we could have asked for. From 9:30 am - 3:00 pm I never left the cabana except to dip my toes in the ocean or take pictures of my husband and kids. The sun, breeze and surf were perfect.

When did that happen?" My wife asks me.I look up at him. He has his fingers laced behind his head, and is repeatedly bending over at the waist, restarting his count. "1...2...3...""He can do sit-ups?
