Gang Wizard (Long Beach)

“Originally formed in 1996 as a ramshackle pop group, Gang Wizard quickly morphed into a collective (ranging in size from as few as 2 people to nearly a dozen) with ever rotating members focused around a few central players. Excluding the early pop group incarnation, Gang Wizard performs song-based improvisation influenced in particular by The Dead C. "19 years of hammering away at this resolutely-untamed approach have made Gang Wizard pretty sharp at imprecision… Guitar noise spits around as if shot from water guns; shards of hardcore punk and grumbling bass pass through like cars running a red light; and drums get so throroughly punched, slapped, and punctured, one wonders if the band believes kits have to be broken to work right.” - Pitchfork

Bad news. A major vulnerability, known as “Heartbleed,” has been disclosed for the technology that powers encryption across the majority of the internet. That includes Tumblr.

We have no evidence of any breach and, like most networks, our team took immediate action to fix the issue.

But this…

Big thanks to @Barrrf! Art makes me happy.

Hey Larry(ville),

Take your sweet time with this, no hurry.

I don’t know if you heard or not, but something kind of cool is happening to the Internet in Lawrence, KS. It’s fiber. Google Fiber just launched in KC if that rings a bell. Anyway, Wicked Broadband (used to be LawFreeNet) is going to be offering 1 Gbps connections to residential homes. To compare, that’s equal to the bandwidth size of my Shoutcast servers in the datacenter racks. Besides the obvious upgrades the pipe can hold live HDTV. Hell, I could probably even hook up the Linux boxes on my desk with a static IP. I want Wicked Fiber.

Love,

Me

P.S. How’s that for kissing ass?

Question (think Dwight Schrute’s tone), why does ROCKHOST.COM no longer offer phone support? The answer is simple, because, well, you were driving us crazy! *rimshot ;^) Hey-O! “Is this thing on?” Seriously though, our troubleshooting skills are much more efficient without a mild case of cellular A.D.D. The turnaround of a support ticket is pleasantly surprising during business hours. See for yourself. Register a profile. Submit a ticket.

Uptime is everything. During off peak hours I sleep with an iPhone on my nightstand. Our global server monitors check multiple services (HTTP, Email, DNS, FTP, MySQL, Ping) every sixty seconds. In the event of an outage the device is beeping, squelching, and vibrating like a doctor’s pager in the mid 1980s.

Morning, noon, or night…Rain, sleet, or snow…Come hell or high water, I’m your guy.

Desert Chili Recipe

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:16:00 -0500

The leaves are falling. Windshields are frosting. Fireplaces are burning. And the Kansas City Chiefs? Terrible! Yes, it’s that wonderful time of year once again. When any football fanatic can pull his own weight in chili. Here’s how me and the boys did it last weekend while Brady Quinn and Matt Cassel were too groggy from concussions to hand off the rock to my main man, “Jimmy” Jamaal Charles.

WARNING: The bhut jolokia (ghost chili) is the hottest pepper on Earth. Any contact with the flesh or seeds may cause a serious burning sensation. Wash your hands after handling.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 yellow onion
1 bhut or naga jolokia
1 habanero
1 jalapeno
1 bay leaf
1 lb eye of round
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
1 30 oz jar tender cactus (nopalitos)
1 7 oz can chipotle adobo sauce
1 packet chili powder
2 cups frozen corn
1 14.5 oz can black beans
1 14.5 oz can chili beans

Directions

Heat olive oil. Finely mince garlic cloves, onion, and peppers. Saute. Add bay leaf. Cube eye of round. Toss steak to infuse capsaicin steam into the meat. Brown. Pour in tomatoes. Simmer thirty minutes. Drain cactus. Rinse beans. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook to desired consistency. Garnish with fresh chopped scallions. Eat.

That’s it. If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. :-) Seriously though, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or dollop of sour cream can go a long way.

Bon Appetit!

I eat meat, again. There, I said it. I was vegetarian for fifteen years. I may go back. I may not, but no thanks, average American, a-hole diet. I pass. The food is not food. More like science in a test tube. Closer to cancer in a chemistry set.

Read the label. Look like a foreign language? Can’t pro-noun-ci-ate the list of ingredients? Mmmmm…sounds delicious. COME ON! Cook in the kitchen, not a laboratory.

Oh, and 4th meal? Go fuck yourself.

Rant over, the end.

To be a fan, crying in my beer, when everything was in place only hours ago. Every single Kansas basketball title has been won in a leap year, just like this year. Deja vu? In 2008 my wife was expecting a championship baby, just like this year. The Giants beat the Patriots in the Superbowl, just like this year. Self beat Calipari, just like…

We lost. History and tradition don’t play the games, the players do. The dunks rimmed out. The loose balls went the wrong way. There would be no #KUBoobs on Mass Street, no exhilaration, no rock chalk chants, no excessive celebration or shoulder dislocating high fives.

Instead? Consolation, pride, charm even, exuding from THE best coach in the business, our coach, Mr. Bill Self, win or lose.

At age thirty six bliss is a rarity. I’ve seen it all. I’ve done it all. The Nirvanas, the Obamas, are far and few. Not Saturday night though, I got to be a bona fide fan, a true fanatic, on cloud nine.

Thank you Kansas Jayhawks, thank you.

The Bhut Jolokia

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 16:25:00 -0600

Alright followers, readers, subscribers, whatever I call the rare few of you these days, it’s time for some nonsense before the winter blues put me down like a bear in hibernation.

Each fall, daylight savings casts a spell over my psyche. Down the rabbit hole I go as a traveler into the dark abyss, spiraling downward, inside a cerebral black hole. I pop vitamin D pills, buy special light bulbs, and abuse the treadmill religiously to no avail.

Let’s just say I have some flavor from southern borders boiling in my blood that the low, blinding sun, can not steep. So for me, the garden is perennial therapy. I self-prescribe mother nature to savor the harmony of chemical balance. I self-medicate old man winter to survive.

You might call me a green thumb. My first Foursquare check-in (and a dork) of all places was at the Douglas County Fairgrounds last April where I found myself rummaging through countless pepper seeds at the local exchange.

An older vagrant fellow motions to me. “You like'a-‘dem hot?” He whispers. “I do.” I reply. Looking around nervously the man reaches deep into his inner jacket pocket. Suspiciously, he slips me a small, resealable, plastic baggy. Paranoid, I play along. “No touch bare skin.” He murmurs. “Bhut Jolokia.” Like a native, he warns, “ghost pepper.” Then floats back into the crowd only to disappear himself.

The mysterious character not only hooks me up with my first heirloom in the manner of some twitchy amateur drug dealer, but shares heat from the fruity flesh of another hemisphere that may just keep my soul warm for the first time ever during the last solstice.

The Bhut Jolokia, or “ghost chili”, holds over one million Scoville Heat Units, approximately three times that of the Habanero. The pepper derives from Assum, India where scientists are waging chili warfare by way of a new stun grenade.

Here’s Adam Richman from The Travel Channel’s Man v. Food doing battle.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. So this is me, Owner Operator, Seth Christian Cole, signing off. See you on the the other side. Until then…
