Sorry for abusing the gotshoo audience, but I’ve always had a warm fuzzy spot for animated gifs. They’re like minature versions of American Funniest Home Videos with Bob Saget.
I apologize and will upload new puppy pictures soon.

Bacn (pronounced bacon) is the term given to electronic messages which have been subscribed to and are therefore not unsolicited but are often unread by the recipient for a long period of time. Bacn is email you want but not right now.
Facebook, this a warning. I liked you, but now you’re just getting on my nerves.
It’s got to be bad.
This is the first time that I’ve had Google tell me to watch out.
Cool.
Question for everyone: Where and how do you get your news online?
Sad thing is that I get about 95% of the references.
I came across Ronald Jenkees over on BoingBoing, he creates beats on a Korg Triton, but looks like Harry Caray with his huge Coke bottle glasses and squinty eyes. Even kinds of sounds like him. From the few videos I’ve watched, he is extremely talented and just seems like a guy that enjoys what he is doing. From his description on his website, he is self taught and plays by ear.
Just amazing.
One of those people you would more than likely never come across unless for the inter-tubes.
He even has a CD for sale. Might have to get this one.
Update: Too good to be true. Ronald Jenkees is the alter ego of a guy that use to go by the Big Cheez. Still dig the act though.
BFS hearts the Plain White T’s and their hit “Hey there Delila.” I knew I couldn’t pass up this rendition done by the Showbiz Pizza Place band Rock-A-Fire. BFS this is all for you.
The guy, Chris Thrash, that has done this has also done Fergie’s London Bridge, RHC’s Dani California, and a bunch more. Check out his profile.
Pretty cool, but I am still a little weirded out by the animatronics. Too many greasy cheese pizza whack-a-mole moments at Showbiz.
I’ve got one invite left to Pownce, a Twitter like service. Okay, first what’s Twitter? It’s kind of the online version of voicemail — er — except without the voice. And you can display what you’re doing at the time like in Facebook.
In other words: totally geeky information overload.
One invite left.

This one tops the cakes; no matter how many dog photos I’ve posted. Former Springfield area blogger BradJWard has gone as far as setting up a personalized dot com with live web cam for his pooch, Bella.
Now I am not say it’s not cute, or that I might check it out to make sure Bella is ok even though they’re in another state and that I’ve never met Brad and Bella… but… Clancy and Buddy are going to be so jealous.
In an elaborate scheme, Molson and Lee pulled a fast one to fool the radio and blogging community into thinking they were getting tossed off the air by the efforts of a “blown out” blogger named Cyndi, only to announce they are starting a FM morning radio show on 97.7 Alice.
I still hate Cyndi. You should have seen the rebuttal I had typed up (delete).
Here’s to you Mr. Download This Outside our Firewall Guy -
Betsy email me yesterday with a story about her coworkers going to Wendy’s for a taco salad and discovering the gargantuan amount of calories afterwards. (But.. but it’s a salad.) She was in dire need of the Bud Light “Real Men of Genius” commercial: “Mr. Giant Taco Salad Inventor.”
I found the YouTube video right away, but couldn’t remember what tool to export the video. So I found the audio file online and attached it to the email. Her day was made by getting to play the audio file for her fully stuffed coworkers. But if I had only been able to send her the video then I would have been a true Real Man of Genius.
Today, I found the tool: Zamar (actually I’ve known about it, just forgot)
The site is an online file conversion site. Need to convert a PDF to a JPG - it will do that; need to download YouTube videos into an AVI format - it will do that too.
The New York Times has a neat online calculator to determine what is better: renting or buying.
Ever wondered who in the world visits gotshoo?
How about in states?
What about Illinois?
Firefox or IE?
Where did they all come from?
