B-Side Ripped Me Off
Ok, maybe that’s putting it a little harsh. My festival scheduler may not be that original, but I did sit down with a couple guys from BSide.com a couple months ago, then today received this survey “about” Austin Film Festival which lists at least 3 of my festival scheduler ideas. I don’t hold it against […]
Trek and Harry Potter Trailers
Is it just me, or are May and July too far away? flowplayer(“a.trek”, “/backporchbeer/flowplayer-3.0.0-rc3.swf”, { plugins: { controls: { all:false, play:true, scrubber:true, fullscreen:true, allowFullScreen: true } } }); flowplayer(“a.hphbp”, “/backporchbeer/flowplayer-3.0.0-rc3.swf”, { plugins: { controls: { all:false, play:true, scrubber:true , fullsreen:true, allowFullScreen: true } } });

It’s Showtime!
If you’re wondering about that empowering smell every time you’re near me?
NPR shows NFL’s Good Side

Don’t Tell Me the day before the Bowl of Football Superiority. Taking an(other) opportunity to show that he’s better than Michael Vick and give the NFL […]
