Back before everyone had a “blog,” they had “home pages,” and GeoCities was the place to have your own little soap box. My on-line life started with GeoCities, so it is kind of sad to learn that Yahoo is shutting down the service after more than a decade. GeoCities was awesome at the time, but it wasn’t without its problems. Nonetheless, I owe GeoCities a lot.

It should come as no surprise that Alice Cooper knows how to put on a show. He’s been doing it for 30+ years and seemingly hasn’t changed much. By this point in history most people know Alice’s gimmicks - the guillotines, the hanging, blood, horror - but even though I knew what was coming, it still made a huge impact as part of the best rock show I’ve ever seen. Period.

I’ve been thinking a lot about web audio players lately. Working for a radio station I’ve had to deal with live web streaming audio for a long time, but not since we put efforts in CAVEradio had I really thought about getting creative with the typical pop-up audio player. As I use CAVEradio as my guinea pig I’m starting to consider skipping the pop-up player entirely.
Post radio stations and streaming places have pop-up players. You click the button and a new window opens up, usually quite a bit smaller than …

If you’ve followed my Twitters and even tuned in to the recent CAVEradio episode, you already know that I gave Transformers 2 a piss poor review. I had free passes to see the midnight showing on opening night and while the price was right for the tickets, the ultimate price of losing three hours of life was all wrong.

It’s time for a little summer fun…I present to you Dog Toy Survivor! We’ve given our dogs five toys and only one will outlast them all. Which one will it be? Make your pick now!

The reaction people have when I tell them I have my own radio show is priceless. Of course, they all think I mean “real” radio and then when I refine my statement to say “it’s on the internet,” they usually retort with an “oh,” as though internet radio is insignificant. But even then they’re always curious and ask about what we talk about, how we run the show, and everything else. I’ve written about the history of CAVEradio before, but it’s a story I like to tell…and this time I’ll …

I’m a skeptic. When it comes to spirits, death, religion, or any other metaphysical topic it’s going to take some real proof to convince me. I like to think I’m a man of logic and science. But as I think any good skeptic should be, I want to be proven wrong. I can be a believer if there is reason to believe something in the first place. Belief comes from experience so when the chance came to go ghost hunting, I said why not?

As we continue to do the weekly CAVEradio show, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve the overall experience. During the live show is one thing - that’s just winging it - but we know that not everyone can tune in live so many probably listen to the podcast replay. Well, after our last show I decided that just a replay isn’t enough.
