NBC & Second Life

Originally uploaded by CC Chapman.
Very strange sitting in my office standing in a virtual Rockefeller Center while watching the real life version of it on TV.
TONS of problems in Second Life tonight due to scheduled maintenance which made it an extra interesting time but I think everything worked out.
It was cool to see in the […]

Humbled and Speechless

I woke up to this post from my friend Derrick Oien.
I haven’t talked to Derrick in a long time. Every so often we’ll drop an e-mail or a Skype message but it’s been way to long since we actually sat down and chatted.
He made me stop and remember back to the “old days.”
Derrick, I don’t […]

Kevin Smith Rocking the Playlist

As if I needed another reason to worship at the altar of Kevin Smith, he posts his non accepted iTunes play list because his descriptions were too long.
If you have an appreciation for music or Kevin Smith this make for an interesting read because it’s all over the map and some great selections in there.
On […]

Airplane Magazines For Sale

Originally uploaded by rivenoakcc.
My grandfather was an airplane fan of the biggest kind. When he died he was actually building an airplane that as a kid I always dreamed about flying in with him.
My dad has just posted a whole bunch of photos of magazines that they are looking to sell. There are ones with […]

Virtual U-Turn Cafe Opens in Second Life

Right now I’m feeling pretty damn happy. Check that. I’m wired right now!

Tonight’s opening of the Virtual U-Turn Cafe in Second Life with a live performance by Uncle Seth from Toronto really went off very well. Tons of friends and strangers showed up. The sim was full and the music was rocking.
Damn good time all […]

Lazy Friday

Sure, most people refer to the day after Thanksgiving as “black Friday” but around our house it’s just “lazy Friday” this year. Laura is working so it’s me and the kids. We are being goofballs, leaving on our PJs and just having a good time. Right now they are enjoying some of the gigantic gummi […]

All I Want For X-Mas is a Wii

Laura and I were watching the news in London when they showed a bunch of kids getting play with a PlayStation 3 and a Nintendo Wii.
She saw how the controller works and goes “oh cool, I’d love to play with one of those.”
Magic words for a geek to hear his wife get excited about electronics. […]

A Lot to be Thankful For

This is the third time writing this post. The server keeps barfing on me.
Today the turkey and touchdowns will be here at home. Just us the good old Chapman Clan together. Emily actually pouted this morning and asked “you mean no family are coming to visit us?” A sure sign that they are growing up […]

Soundtrack for Roasting a Turkey :)

Whenever I cook I usually have music playing on the stereo. I usually sing bad too during those moment.
Thanksgiving is the first day I allow holiday music to be played in our house and so I recorded a special Gobble Gobble Accident Hash full of podsafe holiday songs. It was fun to record […]

Jay-Z in Second Life

I’m not sure what exactly is going on, but I’m in this mass of people on the Pontiac Sim in SL right now waiting for the taping for the Jay-Z performance on Jimmy Kimball tonight.

What exactly is happening? I’m not 100% sure. Here you can see Jay-Z and Jimmy warming up and getting use to […]

Dark Chocolate Covered Altoids

Originally uploaded by Glitch010101.
I am officially craving these in the worse way now that I know they exist.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I keep a variety of different Altoids on my desk at all times and combine them with dark chocolate (another favorite of mine) and I think you’ve got a hell of a […]

Pre-Turkey Day

I don’t know what that day means in your world, but in mine it means cooking pie and a turkey cooking podcast. Both will be done later and are on my to-do list.
Between yesterday and early this morning after dropping off the kids I’ve got everything I need. Making a chocolate cream, a pumpkin, an […]

Back in the USA

I’m back. We got in MUCH later then scheduled last night so if you’ve e-mailed, IM or anything else to contact me give me a few hours this morning to get back into the groove and catch up.
Until then you can watch me and other attendees of PodcastCon UK fall victim to Stealth Discoing.
Oh and […]

Last Day in London

We had a great day today doing exactly what we had planned on doing.
We bought a ticket on one of those double decker buses that we could hop on and off at pretty much every tourist attraction in London. We figured it was a great way to see a lot of the city.
Started out at […]

PodcastCon UK 2006 = A GREAT Time

I’m back at the hotel after another great day in London. Today was PodcastCon UK!
Sure, I didn’t see any sights, but I took this totally whacky picture of Ewan Spence and Adam Curry hugging. For some reason when I looked at the photo I giggled and wondered “damn is Adam reaching up under his kilt?” […]
