scriggity, the blog.

A lot of people ask why we do scriggity. And of course, it’s because its fun, and its challenging to do the show every week, but in that awesome way.

But it’s people like Erica, one of the cool folks who watch us every week that keeps us rockin.

Everyone has news. News is everywhere, like Erica said to me tonight. Your friends have stuff going on. Parties, graduations, new jobs, old jobs, hobbies, funny stories about stuff that might not seem “important”.

It is important. Don’t forget, it’s you that keeps scriggity rollin’, it’s you that makes everyone laugh, it’s just our job to get it out there!!!

Erica says:

news is when you have this big picture window in ur living room and have this big beautiful tree that was changing colors and very nice… then i wake up at 7am to hear the buzzin sound of a chainsaw…and what else they are cutting all the branches off my nice colorful tree that i once admire. and left nothing but the tree trunk..haha

So stay scriggity, and keep your eyes and ears open, news is everywhere!

your news, our spin.

We are happy to announce the launch of a new site to support our show scriggity. It’s called scrigg.com

Some of you might be familiar with the popular site digg.com. It’s a way to submit news (official news such as technology info). We love that site. We wanted to make a site for all of your news though. So scrigg.com was born. We have nothing to do with digg, but love their work and respect their need for “official” and “mainstream” news.

Please come visit our beta (meaning in development) site, sign up, submit your news, and comment on each others news. Fill out your profile so we (and everyone else) can contact you.

It’s all about Your News, and well, our Spin

So if you have news for us to share, or if you’d like to share it yourself, and haven’t sent it to news@scriggity.com, then head on over to scrigg.com and let us know what you think!

your news, our spin.

I went to the local coffee place.

Drive thru coffee… nothing better.

I got a Large Turtle Freezer.

Yes. A Freezer. Not a frappuccino. Dont you DARE say frappuccino to these people… they simply WILL NOT let it slide.

Seriously. The first time I did it, I thought that the barista was just being a bitch… she stopped me mid-order.

Me: “Yeah, I want, like a um… yeah… a grande chocolate caramel frappacino with whipped…..”

Her: “No. No. Excuse me. Its a Freezer. We dont have frappuccino’s here. And its not a grande, its a medium.”

Me: *shocked and belittled* “………………. May I please have a medium freezer…. please?”

The next time I went, stupid me, I forgot the previous incident. I went about placing my order in the same Starbucks© fashion. This time I got a guy barista basically bitching me out. I mean, these people lay it on you. They stop you in the middle of whatever you are saying and correct you. And not in a nice way, in a completely rude way they do it. But it puts you in your place real quick… and your place, is evidently not a wannabe Starbucks©.

But I digress…. so I ordered my usual. Large Turtle FREEZER. With an extra shot of expresso. Whipped Cream. Chocolate and Caramel drizzled on top. It was long gone before we returned home. The coffee place is basically right down the road.

It was so delicious. And Im all “buzzed” now. That good coffee buzz. One of very few “buzzes” that are legal in the United States. Im freezing my ass off now though. They arent lying when they call the fucking things freezers.

I wanted to get a job at the coffee place.

Because I would learn how to make kick ass expresso.

And. I would totally be ganking their fucking coffee allllllll dayyyyy loooonnnngggg.

I decided against it though… because I dont want to be like the crazy person that you think is all coked up… but it turns out they just drink too much red bull.

Which reminds me… Adam Brody’s character “Jack” in the movie “Thank You For Smoking” is hilarious. The movie, overall, was pretty good. I wont say that it blew me away and took me to new film heights. But it was certainly worth the watch. The trailer is horrible. Makes the movie look boring and only partially funny, if that. But trust me. Its good.

Wordpress apparently has an issue with embedding things… ? Thats gay.

Anyway. Here is a link to the trailer.

Windows. I’ve gone through bullshit with it. I’ve had my share of frustrations. I have spent many nights wishing that I could kill at least 3 Microsoft employees. I have spent even more nights than that trying to teach some dumbass what “right click” is for. I have installed Service Pack 2 and minutes later fully formatted and reinstalled Windows on a machine… countless times. I have lost hard drives full of music and movies because of some stupid ass windows error that I was not nerdy enough to figure out.

Yes, I have hated Windows. But I will always love it. I will have it in my life rather I like it or not. Its almost like… well…brushing my teeth.

Anyway. The reason Im making such a fuss over Windows… is because I dont want anyone to think that Ive dropped any loyalty or that Im considering migrating to Apple. Thats just…. sick.

But. To say that Im completely uninterested in all things Mac is a lie. I, sadly, have started using iTunes. And I enjoy it. YES! I said it. I *shudders* enjoy it. And accidently, completely against my will… somehow I landed on this horrible site. I read a few things. Clicked a few things. Became interested in a few things. Basically… as much as I hate Apple. I want to run some of their shit. Just to see whats up with it, you know?

But. To hell with giving them money. Im a goddamn pirate. And I dont want to give my enemies my loot.

Anything can be done with computers now days. Even cooking. Although, frying eggs is not advised… it can be done.

Anyway. So. I want to run an emulator so I can play with all this stupid Mac shit. I found one. Its here.

But. I wonder if its worth the trouble? Apple sucks.

Who knows how much of a pain in the ass something like this could turn into…

and will it even work when I finally do get it installed?

Anyone out there done it? Got any feedback. Hopefully we wont get a one “v” one going between computer folks.
