Fremont Street Experience Las Vegas - Exceptional Cell Phone Video
Cleaning up some my folders I stumbled on this video I shot last November. It was done with my Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) cell phone. The original is true 720P. I'm not sure if the YouTube is really that good. It gives you a good idea of what it's like to be there when the video is playing. If you are in Last Vegas, be sure to check it out.

Rant: What kind of CSS could do this?
I have thousands of SharePoint 2007 sub sites that use some old custom branding, but I don't blame the custom branding for the crazy behavior I have been observing.
I am doing one last version of the site template before we redo the whole thing for SharePoint 2010. In creating the site template, I noticed that the site home pages (webpart pages) started showing the webpart titles with a different color after opening the document library by clicking the title. This is sort of normal browser behavior for visited links, but it doesn't do it all the time.
When I first create a site from my previous template the links do not change after you open from them. I tried this on my North America, Asia and Europe farms and they all did the same thing. I really don't have time to debug the CSS (and I don't want to mess with it) - but I have time to rant. We don't want them to change after visiting.
Anyway, I need to edit the home page. So I add a new webpart to the page, edit it in a couple wonderful SharePointy ways (other screwiness and fun), and .... VOILA the other links all start changing. Definitely one of the funnier WFT SharePoint things I've seen lately.

Schoolboy Makes Disciple
I have to admit that I have been trying to manipulate my BeerAdvocate.com "Beer Karma" rating (my BeerAdvocate personna is Schoolboy). Their ratings are based on a secret formula. I think that part of that rating is based on having a subscription to the magazine. There are initiates ad disciples that have contributed very little content - they have to be subscribers. I do not subscribe, so I have to have lots of content.
Lately I have been trying to post to forums and such whenever I contribute a review, just to try to get the points over 500. It happened today after 271 beer reviews, 23 forum posts, etc. Woo hoo.

Rock Hall Refresh
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum seems to be making good progress on their refresh of the major exhibit areas. Some stuff has reopened. It's still worth visiting during the upgrades. I've been going at least once or twice a month. It's cool in the winter because you almost have the place to yourself (but it's cool in the summer because there are so many people).
Come on down to the most rockin' museum!

2011 Rock Hall Inductees
The 2011 inductees were announced yesterday and ich habe eine kliene problemo avec deisem choices (paraphrasing Eddie Izzard). My problem isn't that they deserve to be inducted, I am fine with their induction. My problem is that they are too American. Where is the diversity? It's turning into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. We can't have that. I'll have to have a word with them.

Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew, American Music Masters
On the evening of November 13, 2010 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Fats Domino / Dave Bartholomew American Music Masters tribute concert took place at the Palace Theater. The music planted a big chunk of New Orleans smack in the middle of downtown Cleveland, if only for a day. The more enthusiastic than usual (for an AMM show) crowd was treated to a really nice blend of music.
The Rock Hall recorded the event (video and audio) and Schoolboy also did an audience recording with a Zoom H2 (it sounds pretty good). The slide show is of photos taken with my Samsung Galaxy S.
