Small Guy Music/Matthew JC and the AllStars - Texas Rangers/TXA 21 Promo Theme Song/Music Video

The guy singing? Christian Sly, singer from my band that I used to be in. He does a lot of local stuff, and he and his music company did this promo song and video for channel 21. Great stuff!

A Thousand Words

I took this picture for two reasons:

1. The chick on the bike in front of us (yes, it was a woman) looked
quite a bit like Bret Michaels from behind. But then again, doesn't
pretty much every woman wearing a bandana look like Bret Michaels from
behind?

2. The truck in front of the bike had a full window sticker
advertising a tattoo parlor. In itself, this isn't that remarkable.
What I thought was interesting is that he had his MySpace account as
the URL to find his shop. This must make him sad, as I am sure he
paid good money to get this sticker put on his truck, only to find out
a few years later that no one uses MySpace anymore.

But it was so cool 5 years ago!

Please ignore the bird crap on the windshield...my windshield wipers
don't work all that well anymore, nor does my windshield washer
delivery units. That is what you get with 113,000 miles on a car.

Video Games

I, for one, would love to see a video game go backwards.

What I mean is, in almost every video game you play, you start out as weak.  Or, you start out as strong, and your weapons are weak.  As you progress through the game, you collect various power-ups and you become stronger.

But what always happens?  Your enemies get stronger too.  So your power-ups become victim to the law of diminishing returns.  Sure, you feel like a badass with your triple-pump shotgun, but your enemies are just as bad ass as you, so there really seems to be no point.

What I would like to see is that you start out as a bad ass, with all of the bad ass weapons (maybe save 1 or 2 for later) and just increase the volume of your enemies, so you get to experiment with all of the cool ways you could destroy them.  I have always hated it when you get the best weapon in the game with about 10 minutes of game play left, and you never got to really feel like you owned your digital enemies.

Also, if you get some time, play Just Cause 2 on the 360.  Great game...I just wish I could have gotten a better gun in the beginning.

Voice Plus Creates Google Voice Number Rules on Android [Downloads]

Finally...I know not many of you have Google Voice, but if you do, this is the one app you NEED to get. It allows you to selectively choose who you call with and without Google Voice, which is really good for family plans. I have requested this feature numerous times, and it looks like someone finally took it into their own hands!

Voice Plus Creates Google Voice Number Rules on AndroidAndroid only: Google Voice allows detailed rules for people calling you. But your outgoing Google Voice calls? Not so much, unless you've installed Voice Plus, which lets you choose contact groups to call with or without your Google Voice number.

Voice Plus is nothing more than an extension of your Google Voice settings. You choose whether you call with your cellphone's carrier-supplied number or your Google Voice number by default. You choose whether certain area codes are always called with Google Voice—handy for those who live on the border of international areas. And you can choose certain contact groups, set up in your Google Contacts, that are always called by Voice, and others always called by a landline.

Voice Plus Creates Google Voice Number Rules on AndroidSo the use you'll get from Voice Plus depends on your ability to set up your contacts with distinct Voice/non-Voice numbers, but that's a big help to those who grow tired of toggling Voice on and off for individual calls. Voice Plus is a free download available in the Market; you can get to it directly by scanning the QR code at left.
