Quick Hits: Pervs Invade Facebook, Privacy Settings, Conchords Tour, WordPress, Free Beer, Valley Lodge MP3 and Propagandhi in Philly!

Hey Kids, been a way for a while, sorry. My daughter turned 4 and the birthday party festivities seemed to go on for a week. I also celebrated a landmark birthday, which hurt, big time. The only upside is my acquisition of one of them fancy iPod Touch jimmy-jams (32 GBs worth). I am learning how to synch the crap out of everything I own. I just connected it to my rear and now my iPod informs me when I need to evacuate my innards. iSweet! I have a fun new feature coming up this week, something about Movie Poster Head Fakes, until then, enjoy this nonsense:

Flight of the Conchords on Tour! They’ll be landing in Philly on April 18th for two shows at the Tower Theater and everywhere else in the U.S. See dates.

Also, please follow Scott Shrake’s Golden Rule for Tagging:

When tagging photos, practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you tag a picture where I look as fat and old as I actually am, I’m just gonna de-tag myself anyway, and for good measure I will find the worst picture I can of you and tag you in the middle of the night so it’s up there for several hours for your friends in different time zones to gawk at before you get to de-tag it.

Enjoy a One Night Stand with Todd Marrone! Drink some delicious FREE Victory beer this Friday, Feb 6th, with Todd and a bunch of other talented “young” artists who will be showing at The Main Line Art Center’s One Night Stand. (FYI, it’s Todd’s last year of eligibility due to his advanced age).

For one night only, Main Line Art Center opens our galleries to artists of all mediums ages 21-35. Emerging painters, jewelers, sculptors, photographers, potters, and multi-media artists are invited to bring up to three works to be displayed, viewed and sold. Over 25 artists have signed up already! Come grab a beer, thanks to sponsor Victory Brewing Company, support emerging artists and purchase one-of-a-kind affordable artwork.

Your WordPress Plugin Plug of the Day! “Widget Logic” is a great plugin to control sidebar widget placement on a specific page or post. I just implemented it on one of my client’s sites and it works well, you just need to know a little about Conditional Tags. It’s a snap. Thanks Alan Trewartha!

Thank You, Jesus! For bringing together two of my most favorite bands. The legendary Propagandhi will be in Philly on March 14th with hometown heroes Paint It Black. The Trocadero will be insane, bring your earplugs. If you can, buy your tix at the Troc box office. Fucking Ticketmaster wanted an extra $6.90 for one lousy $14 ticket (yes, I’m going alone). Show Info.

Battlestar Gets Brutal! Wow, Friday’s rebellion episode was quite a bloody good affair! As much as I HATE watching President Roslin and Gaius Baltar’s annoying faces and momentum-halting dialogue–so much so, I stopped watching last year–I came grovelling back for the final episodes. So far, I’m glad I did. Watch latest episode here.
