Finished listening to this awhile ago but didn't get around to posting about it. Worth listening to if you can stand all of the improbable coincidences that the story is filled with. One or two here and there are alright but this whole story is just one thing right after another. It's still good enough that you can kill some time with it but it does get a little tedious.

Upgraded Blazeblogger
Upgraded my version of Blazeblogger to 1.1.2. I was using the 1.0 version available through ubuntu's package repositories. This newer version adds things like an RSS feed and previous and next links at the bottom of the page that lead to older and newer posts, as well as some bug fixes.
Had to uninstall the 1.0 version and install the newest one from the command line but these are perl scripts and the process is pretty much painless. The best part is that all of the custom perl scripts that I've written still work with the newest version.

HTC Incredible Wallpaper
Recently got an HTC Droid Incredible phone and I've been trying my hand at creating some different wallpaper for it. All of these images were created using either the filters and plugins of the gimp or are clipart that I've found and modified to fit the the Incredible.
If you can use 960x800 images as wallpaper, which is what my phone uses, feel free to use these. Just click on the thumbnail then in the window that pops up right click and save the image. Then you can transfer it to your phone.

Jack Wagons
Got a pretty good snorfle out of this cartoon at Townhall.com. It's older but I just ran across it this morning.
And for anyone who doesn't get the reference Here is the Geico commercial from Youtube.
Geico also has clips of it's commercials available as ringtones here. If you don't like giving myxer your phone number here is a clip of the entire R. Lee Ermey portion of the video. You can pull whatever portion of it out as ringtone or notification tone that you want.
