The Dailies Rock The Valley

We’re getting the band back together.

The Dailies are heading into the studio tomorrow. If you see storm clouds gathering and a column of fire rising up from The Valley, don’t be alarmed. It’s just the power of our awesomeness changing the forces of nature.

For the duration of the studio session, I’m turning Addison Road into a microblog - if you are registered as an author, the posting interface will show up on the main page, and you’ll be able to enter quick updates right from the front page of the blog. That way, those of use in the studio can give you obnoxious volumes of drivel, direct from the control room. It’ll look something like this:

Those of you looking to post more meaningful content can still use the same login as always, and the back end of the blog will look the same.

Welcome Back!

So, apparently our RSS feed has been down for, well, nobody knows quite how long. A while, anyway. It just kept showing no new posts, and then finally, nothing at all. It’s back up and running now, thanks to some fancy codin’ by an unnamed hero of the masses (named me). To all of our rabid fan (hey Bobby!) who thought we had folded up shop and moved the blog offline to Aly and Ash’s backyard, let me be the first to say …

… Welcome back!

Google has a “suggest” feature that lets you type a few words, and see what the most common google searches are that begin with those words. Here’s is a huge screen capture of whole bunch of common sentence beginnings, and how your fellow human beings use the Googlemonster. Enjoy!

Just when I thought the world couldn’t get any stranger… well… let’s just say that there always seems to be something weirder just around the bend.

I mean, yeah, there’s the Asian shot for shot remake of the tithing video, but then there’s this, and this falls into an altogether new category. I’m just… stunned at the internet.

Check out this video… just… amazing.

I know, I know. It looks awful. It will look awful for a little while. I’ll add the pretty later.

We just upgraded to version 2.5 of WordPress, which means everything broke. If you want to see why, check out the new admin section of the blog, if you’re an author. It’s simply fabulous, kiddos. GORGEOUS! And, since I spend most of my time on the backend (heh heh), I decided to do the upgrade right away.

Enjoy, or, mock and deride. Either way.
