Inside AP.net: Featured Bands
11/11/09 at 11:29 AM by Jason Tate
Wrote a quick script so staff can edit featured bands ... just don't have time lately to do it each week and multiple heads (insert joke) are better than one. Shoulda done this years ago.

Maybe the busiest I've been all year. Trying to organize a bunch of stuff for the end of the year - work on the site - and stay uptodateonemail. I really needa go through and filter/organize that stuff. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

New John Mayer album is fantastic.

Shut. Up.

At least every two months or so I get something like this. Is it wrong that I still find it funny? Each time?

Where Have I Been?
11/03/09 at 01:02 PM by Jason Tate
Listening to the acoustic Dashboard album right now ... I really dig this new CD (both versions). I think it'll be a sneaker for top 10 to be honest. It just really connects right now. Also helps that I am sick as a dog and coughing up my lungs at the moment while stuck in bed. Sorry for not being around the website the past few days -- been doing as much as I can between overloading on everything and anything that could make me feel better. Just bought the Dear Jack documentary to watch. Must. Get. Better.

Being in bed has given me some time to think some website stuff through ... more soon.

Are All Famous People Stupid?
10/29/09 at 10:53 AM by Jason Tate
Celebrities being on Twitter, for the most part, has only shown me how stupid they really are. And the athletes are probably the worst.

Sometimes I forget an important lesson: I sit down for 5 minutes trying to figure out how to do something before realizing that the simplest solution is most often the best solution. Just do what works. Simple. I sometimes have to remind myself of this when I start trying to get too complicated.

Anyway - if you're looking for good eats? This recipe kicks ass. We made it last night - and it's damn good.

The Blazer season starts tonight. I can't remember being this excited about an NBA season in my entire life.

Welcome to My Head
10/26/09 at 01:52 PM by Jason Tate
My internal thought process/monologue today:

Ugh, there's 8 pages of news submissions (roughly 240 different submissions).

Hmm, let's see how much of this I can post.

Sweet, there's some good stuff in here.

<PostPostPost>

Crap, there's still 2 pages of stuff that I really don't want to post.

Ok, let's delete all the shit only submitted once. It's not that important.

Shit, there's like 15 of these damn NSN and Blood on the Dance floor things.

Ugh, fine, I'll post them - but I'm not doing it happily.

Great, now I'll take shit for this all day. For these 2 posts outta the 40 that were good content.



I'm writing down that the next version of a website I create has a very clear block function for news posts.

I'm Just a Long Shot
10/26/09 at 09:55 AM by Jason Tate
I know this is a long shot - but does anyone have the original pressing of Fall Out Boy's Take This To Your Grave CD? On one of the first batches at stores there was a sticker on the front with a quote from me. I can't find my copy, and would love a picture of it for my scrapbook. Worth a try.

10/22/09 at 09:55 AM by Jason Tate
Awww.. they got rid of best website/messageboard category. Guess you can pick the best "twitter user" of the year? Johncmayer FTW. Or me.

The Dog Just Farted
10/19/09 at 10:12 AM by Jason Tate
Anyone else find it weird (or annoying) that there are a select group of members on AP.net that clearly work for blog sites (that see very little traffic) and so they find some way to work into any news post about a new band's album that they have it? It's always some subtle "this album is good" or "this album sucks" sorta comment in a news thread about a new release. We get it. You got the promo. You probably bragged in your blog, twitter, and all over the website you somehow convinced the PR department was worth sending an advance.

Yes, it's been one of those mornings. This doesn't help. Or this.
