In four hours thousands of people will be ringing in the new year in Times Square. What will I be doing? You guessed it, working. I'm at KPIX till about 1130 tonight. You better believe that I will be scooting home in a hurray to see Marieta before the clock dings midnight here. Sucks, but you know I had Thanksgiving and Christmas off so I am okay with working. So what perks my interest enough to drop you all a line? Digg.com . You need to check this baby out. I am a little behind the times here. Digg is one of the top social sites . It's a huge hub for things people interesting and I'm just starting to dig it... I'm hilarious. Anyways check out this tasty little tidbit . Too lazy to click the link? Okay, well let me just tell you that it is a story about a nasal spray that may cut out the need to sleep. THAT'S RIGHT! How awesome would that be? You may not be the nerd I am but there was an X-Files episode based on something similar to this. In said episode, the army...

Okay, I'm not a violence junky... but these knockouts are awesome! OH and Check this out http://www.sourcewatch.org/

Yeah so someone hit and ran my car this morning. I took this video on my cell phone and for some reason if I shoot anything it flips it horizontally. So it's like looking at life in a mirror. I hate it. The crappy part is my Kelly Blue book value is around 5 or 6 grand. And because the damage is a quarter panel, rear bumper, AND! the freaking trunk was junked in a little bit... I may have 70% of the cars value screwed up here. Incase you don't know what that means; if 70% of a cars current value is done in, most insurance companies will scrap the car and cut you a check... When I woke up this morning I didn't consider the idea I may be looking for a new car in the coming weeks. Ah Debt... gotta love it

A couple weeks ago when I put my first podcast up I mentioned Google Reader as the feed reader I can endorse. Well after adding a few more feeds to my reader I have decided that just saying check out google reader isn't enough. You happen to have a Gmail account or just a fan of Google in general you know what Google is all about. So many great free services on Google (maps, gmail, Calender, Picasa, Talk, maybe even Orket...) and the reader is just another that makes me crap my pants. Why? Add all of your favorite blogs, news feeds, video feeds, anything that is a website with a feed and this puppy puts it in order of update and you don't have to visit 7 million sites. This just keeps spitting to you, keeping you informed. Embedded audio just pops up in a little player you wouldn't normally see. Video is front and center. You don't see a million ugly third party adds. You just see everything you want to see in the same place. I couldn't understand why you wouldn...

So I have an idea for a close out entry of the year. I'll tell ya this much: VidCast. That's right, my ugly mug, in front of the lens, hitting you with some knowledge. In other news here is an exchange between Jordan and I via text today: Beanbag (on vacation in Colorado): I had to get pulled down a mountain in a stretcher today. P@ (20 minutes later): Holy Crap Dude! Are you alright? What Happened? When you hear mountain and stretcher what do you think? Someone got seriously jacked up and needed to be airvac-ed out. Well that's not exactly the case w/this silly kid. He goes skiing, sprains his ankle, and has to get someone to help him out (yes they did help him down in a full body restraining stretcher but when you hear about something like that you figure either an emergency room or a morgue is probably their next stop. Oh Beanbag...

Here it is, as promised. Sorry about the apostrophe at end. I always have been bad with Grammar.

Another Merry Christmas for everybody. I have never truly tried to play this thing before today.

December 23rd, we're down in Los Angeles. I have spent the last 4+ hours looking through pictures of me from toddler time to last week for a wedding collage. Marieta is scouring every family photo album we have. Everyone has given up and Marieta is still going strong for an extra hour or two. To know what we're looking at, here is a little taste of me as a kid. Think that's funny? You aint seen nothing yet. Oh and to share a Boberg family Christmas moment... Here's Santa: I'm hoping to have a little video to share with you peeps by dinner on the 25th.

Iowa and back. Did you catch me? Yeah sorry about that. I told a handful of people I would call but it turns out wedding planning and seeing family takes a lot of time. I guess I'm a jerk. I left a message here and there to see if some people were free, I'm sorry I missed you all. Good news is we took Engagement pictures, decided on the grubb for our reception, got a DJ set up, and probably most importantly Marieta bought a dress. Of course, I have no idea what it looks like. Iowa is just as I remember it being. Snowy, cold, and friendly. Don't tell too many people but I actually kind of miss Iowa. Mostly the beanbag but what ya gonna do? Oh well, I'll most likely be there again in like 3 or 4 years. I would type more but I need to get Christmas gifts and other bull. I hope you are doing okay in a P@less universe.

Seriously Dude, you need to check out The Ark's "State of The Ark" I tried for a year to find it anywhere and it finally popped up on Itunes. take 2 parts David Bowie 1 part Spacehog 1 part The Who and a sprinkling of Rocky horror picture show cram em all into one rockin group and this is the glam folk pop rock you get.So so so good.

Dudes, I am so tired of not being answered by blogger. They just wont tell me how to access my account. I must have pissed them off. So now I must resort using Myspace's blog... okay, you won this time. In other news, my hertz desk if freaking cold. Union Station is supposedly heated but you wouldn't be able to tell when it's below freezing. It gets so windy and just flat out freeze your nose nasty that you want to shoot someone (I shouldn't joke about that because there was a shooting at the train station down the street... some trucker who designed a portable toliet shot up the patent lawyer and his coworkers who supposedly screwed him out of a grand a couple years ago. That's right, portable toliet. Google the shooting and they show a small sketch the guy made of the toliet.) So Hertz, yeah. Good times. It makes the time pass pretty fast and I found out I'm a pretty good salesmen. Not of those shmuck salesmen but someone who just shoots straight and gets the ...

Needed to share this shot before I started working. oh... and this:

Right Click the title of this entry and click save as. You are now downloading the first podcast of the Babbling Scribe. If you are reading the RSS feed of Babbling Scribe my advice is check this puppy out in Google Reader . You will get a pop up audio player and you don't have to do anything if you don't want. It will just notify you whenever I add new content and you can check it out. Rock n roll. Okay so I'm pretty excited about this... however, I'm not quite sure about the product I'm putting out there. This is my maiden voyage into podcasting. Will anyone listen? maybe my mom. Will anyone care? can't rely on mom for this one. Kind of content lite, and the editing isn't great but I was in a hurray to mix it down before I left for work today. Yes I am working on Sunday but it's okay because no one in the bay is seeing the Pats vs. Steelers except for those with the direct feed... i.e. people with a dish and people in television studios. Good stuff. L...

Podcasting has sunk its teeth into my me and I love it. So I have a list to the left here of podcasts I dig and a few links. Well that doesn't really do this story justice. I have subscribed to about 15 podcasts on iTunes and later tonight I'm guessing I will up that to 30. Back in college when I was delivering pizzas I thought Sirius was the best thing on Earth. Good music, good talk radio, and a couple years later... Howard Stern (give me a paragraph before I can explain this). With Terrestrial radio the commercials were endless and the signal constantly waxes and wanes, and in a market like Des Moines the name of the game is national syndication; however, Sirius digital content, music channels commercial free, celebrity disc jockies, comedy channels, news channels, every sport I cared about (minus baseball, stupid xm). It was a match made in heaven. Now Podcasts, this is an entirely new beast. Sure there might be a commercial or two sprinkled throughout but it is the definit...

I don't know exactly what I think of Walk Hard: The Dewie Cox Story ... but I do know that I love this . A movie about a musician and taking that character out into the real world and doing a concert tour. I have only heard one little blip of the music in a preview and it was just funny enough to entice me to go to this show; "I had a dream you were blowing me... some kisses." Come on, with the right comedic timing that is gold. In other news. I am over at British Motor Cars today and the unthinkable was just said: Setting: Old man returns his rental (a Ford Fusion) Old Man: Next time I buy a car I'm gonna trade in my Jag. P@: For a Ford? Old: That Fusion was a smooth ride. Better than my car. That's right, Jaguar just lost a customer to Ford, because Ford makes nicer cars... Ford has a higher standard than Jaguar? Now I'm not a person who thinks price determines quality or just because a car has a good name it should be a dream on wheels... but Jaguar beat ou...

Once again, I say something that I cannot back up. I was going to unleash my first podcast onto the world tomorrow, but I have been dealing with a scuzzed up voiced since Wednesday. I have recorded everything but my guest segment. It's running around 45 minutes and while no one may care about this or even listen to it... I am still excited to get it done and out there. So in an effort to please my fans (HA!) I have this to give you. Next year I am all over this thing.
