The Xbox 360 / Best Buy Fiasco

 November.22nd.2005 • 10:14AM No Comments

This is the story of a guy and a store. The guy waits outside said store for a good amount of time waiting for an Xbox 360. He’s successful, even though he spends a ton of money on it. Was it worth it? Yea. :)

Time: 11:10 PM Just got to Best Buy, looks like 30 people beat us here, which isn’t that bad considering the pictures I had seen earlier on Kotaku. So Jen and I brought my Powerbooks, videos, blankets and pillows. I thought it was a little nuts bringing extra stuff. Obviously, I’m not an experienced “wait outside for shit the day it comes out” person. There were people complete with food, sleeping bags, lounge chairs, etc. Looks like the first people got here about 3 hours ago, and some of them definitely don’t look like gamers ...

AIM Hijacks My Buddy List

Dear AOL,

Next time you hijack my buddy list with your bots, I’m coming to Virginia and cutting you down.

Love from your friend, Bryan Veloso

Google Analytics (The Play)

 November.15th.2005 • 10:46PM No Comments

This is the story of a guy and Google. Well, not the company. Well, more like a dream that said guy had about said company. The dream is a play, and the guy’s not a playwright, so try and enjoy it. :)

Bryan: Hi Google, how are you today? Google: Fine Bryan, nice of you to come by our campus, have you tried our meal of the day? Bryan: Nope, actually, I was interested in trying out that new stat software you guys released, since I’m a stats whore and all.

* Bryan then sports his Measure Map and Mint tattoos. Google gets jealous.

Google: Oh, you mean Analytics? Sure!

* Google picks up a sea urchin and places it in Bryan’s hands.

Google: Here you go. Just place this on the top of your website, wait 12 hours and we ...

Short Blog Posts

 November.9th.2005 • 10:08AM No Comments

This is the story of a guy and a fear. A fear of writing short posts. Just like how said guy has a fear of writing short summaries. Like this one.

I have a confession to make.

I can’t write blog posts this short.

I have no idea why but I feel the need that if I’m going to post something, it has to be longer than 4 lines in my WordPress edit box. I think at first it was because if I didn’t do that, my design would break. And if you’ve been with me for some time, you know how I get when my design breaks.

Anyway, now since I have 600 readers who I don’t want annoyed at me, I wouldn’t ...

Extending Your Reach

 November.5th.2005 • 4:07PM No Comments

This is the story of a guy and a concept. This time around the said concept is about “your reach” while blogging. The guy has advice about how to expand a blog”s reach using content and networking.

I’m all about collaborative effort, and if there is anything I can do to not only help myself but help others, I’ll be glad to put forth the work in order to do so.

Let’s start, today’s topic is “reach.” No, we’re not talking about getting food from the top shelves of cupboards or that weird brand of toothbrush either. More than a post, this is more of an open-ended question as to how one’s site reaches the masses. Additionally, I want to take a look at what one can do to extend ...
