karyhead.com - Update your bookmarks/feeds!

I think I've gotten it to the point that I'm ready to open the doors. Everything's new and still smells nice but that doesn't mean there won't be problems.

I've tested it on Safari, Camino and Firefox on a Mac. Also IE 6.x and Firefox on Windows XP. Surprisingly, IE doesn't make me want to cry. There's some issues, but hopefully no show-stoppers.

I've migrated all of my Blogger content plus comments over to the new site. The picture layouts are a bit wonky but I'll get around to prettying that up later.

I spent a lot of time on the layout and structure aspects. It's all XHTML/CSS. It probably doesn't validate, I'll worry about that later as well. Hopefully I can spend some time on the graphic design part and make it look a little sleeker/snazzier/sweller.

I should wait and post this in the morning, but...

Please let me know about any issues that you see.

Let's make it a three-fer

I'm going for the hat trick on posting today.

I saw this a while back. Talk about embarrassing

KAJ

So Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (KAJ) had a cameo on Scrubs recently. I was like "That's cool, I haven't seen him in a while." Then I remembered how much I hate him. And Magic. And Worthy. I think you can figure out why.

You know it's happened to you

This is why I read dooce every day. And the way she spoke about why things are funnier when her husband laughs, I've heard M say the same thing. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy. And a bit gassy.

Comedy Challenge

There has been a lack of original comedy content for Rufus-only-knows how long on this site. I'd like to say it's because I'm busy preparing karyhead.com 1.0. Well that's true, but there's been a lack of good content here for ages.

So.

This post has little to do with that. But it got me thinking. I know some of my local fellows in comedy read this crap.


So. Here's what I'm proposing.

We take a suggesion on a subject from the blog audience, ala improv, then write up some stand up material and go to Dave's Darkhorse next Monday night at open mic night and deliver it. Let the audience decide which one they like best. Winner buys the others a round at the bar. Or something.

So, we take suggestions via comments. Decide on a topic. Write funny (hopefully) original material, go to Dave's next Monday night and kill. Audience decides who wins.

Yes, this scares the bejeebus out of me. That's why it's fun and exciting. Matt and Houston have done it. It can be done. They should join in the challenge.

Who accepts my challenge?

WHAT?!

Another SNL Digital Short from The Dudes.

Natalie Portman. Sure, she's beautiful but I've always gotten the feeling she's a bit of a, uh, princess if you will. Well anyway, she gets a couple of cool points for this, as she co-wrote it.

Watch while you can, NBC will prolly ask youtube to remove it.

WHAT?!
