Dropped out of college to work more hours (and not drop dead) at my job.
No video or audio update. I moved into a sweet little townhouse and just haven’t got the opportunity to move audio or video equipment yet. I may start podcasting from my Macbook Pro. Not sure yet. If you’re interested in a video podcast, let me know.
Geek Wedding: Little more than 9 months to go till I marry the most wonderful geek in the world. Follow me on twitter (twitter.com/doyleclark) and receive my weekly (and in some cases daily) wedding tweets. The web will know every little decision we make about the ceremony and reception. <note: I will not be viewing her wedding dress until she walks down that isle> If you would be interested in me streaming the ceremony and maybe reception, let your opinion on it be known. It’s something I’ve considered but haven’t talked to her about yet.
It has come to my attention that I hadn’t updated doyleclark.com in more than 3 months. Now seems to be the time for an update.
Personally: After working for nearly two years in a tech retail store. It closed. I now work for their competition. LOL. In two weeks I’ll start my Freshman year of college over again. I know it’s going to be a long journey, but I’m prepared.
Professionally: The site has been receiving a ridiculous amount of traffic for the extreme lack of updates. Comments being posted here and there. They won’t be approved automatically because of spammers and fiends, but I’m usually johnny-on-the-spot about it.
Some actual blog-type-talk: I have seen a TON of movies lately, but not really anything that impressed me. Netflix’d the movie Sex Drive. It’s a bit raunchy, and I was watching the unrated edition, but I highly recommend it to an adult audience. It’s a laugh a minute. Watched The Proposal, but was not impressed. The Ugly Truth is a much better movie. Haven’t really bought any new games or tech gadgets, so nothing to report there. About three months ago I got into the age old hobbie of Pipe Smoking. It has become a pleasurable ritual every week.
I will actually do a video update soon. The only reason this update is not video or audio is that all the equipment was taken down for cleaning and never put back up. Also, I’m considering weekly updates as I journey through my first Freshman semester. If you’re interested in this, let me know. d@doyleclark.com
I feel the need to explain the recent lack of The DBOI Afterthoughts Podcast. I acquired a very cheap microphone cable which has since reminded me of an old adage: you get what you pay for. I have some new cable coming soon, if not tomorrow. It’s of almost the highest quality available. That’s right, Monster Cable. I’ve tried the stuff out and it really is better than the best when it comes to analog pro-aduio. As soon as it arrives I’ll patch it in and start recording my latest thoughts of everything. Never found my pop-filter, so I bought a windscreen for the microphone. That should help out with some of the spolives I’ve been noticing.
Guitar. It’s so cool to play guitar. I’ve got a collection of 3 and a half guitars right now and haven’t been playing any of them. Well, the last few days I’ve been revisiting that old hobby quite a bit. Purchased a few accessories I needed, ordered a new Amp. (Even borrowed younger brother’s Amp, until mine comes in.) It’s been very rewarding playing the last few days.
In other news, I recently watched Race to Witch Mountain and Fast and the Furious. Reviews will be posted this week for both. Still working on the lost Alpha Episdoe of GeekCult.TV for you guys. If it doesn’t get finished by the end of this week, it should be finished shortly after the weekend. So be looking for a new DBOI Afterthoughts in the next 2 days, a couple movie reviews, and that darn lost episode.
Well I’ve managed to talk about politics and the economy, now it’s time for religion’s turn. This podcast focuses more on the argument of “religion in schools”. Enjoy.
I went on a raid to the closest big retail store super late two nights ago and picked a few nice discs.
The White Stripes: Icky Thump CD
Reservoir Dogs DVD
Punisher War Zone Special Edition DVD
Tales of the Black Freighter DVD
Quantum of Solace BluRay
“Bullitt” BluRay
And then in my Netflix today, I received Tenchi Forever: Tenchi Muyo in Love 2.
Ordered a new digital camera from B&H a few days ago, well it arrived yesterday. Today I went and got some new Ink. Here’s a look at the new ink with my 1st ink taken with new Nikon Coolpix s560:

To hear what I pick out of the audial ether randomly:
Could it really be as simple as some janky cosmetic company producing some skin regenerative creme’ so that women in their 40’s and 50’s can try to bag guys in their 20’s? Yeah yeah, sounds like the sub plot of Resident Evil’s Umbrella Corporation. Just check this out:
This time I talk about the very basis of what is going wrong with Earth. People need to focus less on consuming and instead focus on contributing to the global good.
My apologies for lack of video. Still having some issues with Camera and software. I’m trying to work it out, but until then enjoy this Audio Podcast of the show.
This episode I discuss theories of innovation and patents.
