Found My Old Blackberry Voice Notes

Mar 22 2012

I had a Blackberry for years. I used to record voice notes, then email them to everyone. These are some of those voice notes.

(Note: NSFW – there’s a couple swear words in two of them)

Ever seen this video?

Of all my videos, it’s one of my favourites.

I went around saying this for months. It still makes no sense, and still makes me laugh.

After a Meeting

En route to a meeting here. The dolphin got me a job.

There you go, a little peak inside my cel phone. Now that I have an iPhone I stopped doing this. I should start again.

I Miss My Rotating Header

Mar 20 2012

Remember the old KeriBlog with a constantly rotating header, this one?

I miss it. I miss making them. Took a photo today and was all, oh I’ll make this into a… no, I don’t have that anymore. That’s how this post came to be.

Replace the wood grain up there with these? Hmmm.

Inside a Masonic Lodge come ON.

I’ve been making a ton of Sidebar Art lately. Go to BloggingAboutFood.com to see.

I’ll post them all together when I’m done. You can learn a lot about me from my sidebars.

I’m Part of the 0.0002%

Feb 29 2012

I kept my last name off the internet for 5 years.

This is my Google+ account – KeriBlog.

It’s been suspended since I got it;
they don’t like my last name, “Blog”.

So I wrote to them saying noooo.

Hours later Google replied I was right.

Now here’s the interesting part.

There is very little information online to guide you, because this issue is so rare.

This article from TechCrunch sums it up:

0.1% of 50 million users submit name appeals,

20% of that is like me.

Let’s do the math on that…

Conclusion:

I’m part of the 0.0002% or 1 / 10,000

It’s not without issue though… because of this rarity, I end up with problems that are not documented and likely few have.

For example: my Picasa photo uploader stopped working for no reason two weeks ago. Which I almost had a meltdown over; that’s like a carpenter’s hammer vanishing. The worst part is there’s nothing I can do about it.

Being a spy is a lot of extra ugh.
