Tech Support Rant

Foamy the Squirrel says it so much better than I could…behold the story of my life for the last 48 hours. The MP3 player’s program will load on the Pentium III/Windows 98 machine but will not run. The PIII will download, but not run, drivers for memory sticks and other USB devices, although it HAS a USB port. Perhaps it’s not so “U”. Somebody tell Nancy Mitford!

The Laptop running Windows XP Pro will install the program, but not get online. It will run the program, but not connect to the MP3 player. It will also Copy from CDs inserted in it, at playing speed only, making lovely little album folders with icons and everything, but when you open them, they are empty.

Steve Jobs, we need to talk. Hiring a blogger? I werk foar tek.

Atene Unleashed!

Posted on by

Yes, it’s another eruption from the unfettered subconscious of the internet’s most inadvertent superhero, Brian Atene. This one is an unused trailer for VH1’s “40 Greatest Internet Superstars,” unused because … well, see for yourself!

(also: what’s up with Defamer? Are they asleep? Are they boycotting this video-downtaking heartbreaker, still hurting from the Great Purge of September?)

Yes, Team Atene Beat members, he’s back! Everyone’s favorite inadvertent celebrity, Brian Atene, has returned to the YouTubes with his Star Trek themed tour de farce City on the Edge of Atene!

Click to view, IF YOU DARE! Goddammit, Jim, I’m a blogger, not a Nielsen family!

Stay gold, Atene. Stay gold.

Squid and the killer commute

From the immortal Too Much Coffee Man:

TMCM squid commute

I hear ya; in fact, this is how I, myself, get to work every day. While it’s true I work in my livingroom, I believe that it’s critically important never to pass up the opportunity for an interstellar Squid express whenever it may present itself. If you take only one thing away from this blog, I hope it is that knowledge. Thank you!
