Well, I’ve finished the first release of my CMS that I’m calling Joe (yes, Joe) and now I’ve launched a new blog. It follows in the same basic tradition of Steinbring Inc. but with slight tweaks. The biggest tweak being regular content. I hope you check it out. I do plan on keeping this blog around for the time being for archival purposes but Cup of Web will have all of my new content from now on.

Goodbye Steinbring Inc!

joe — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:09:41 +0000

Well, it’s been almost a year now since I stopped updating this blog on a regular basis. It’s safe to say Steinbring Inc. is dead. I am happy to say though that I’m in the final stages of setting up 2 new blogs and a new, redesigned steinbring.net.

I’ve also returned to the activity of Moblogging. This time, via flickr. I did look into creating my own service for my moblogging activities but it looks like use of flickr’s going to be emensely easier. I hope it doesn’t end up going the way of text america.

You may remember Ted Stevens as the lap dog of AT&T. Well, it looks like the feds are looking into some of his “activities”. Maybe this ass-clown will finally have to leave office.

Federal law enforcement agents are currently searching the Girdwood home of Alaska U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.

“All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence,” said Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Anchorage office. The search began earlier this afternoon, he said. It’s the only such search warrant currently being served, he said.

Armed robbery attempt ends in a group hug

joe — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:14:12 +0000

This is definitely one of the most bizare stories I’ve ever read. The robbery began with the robber putting his gun to the head of a 14-year-old girl and ended with a group hug and a glass of wine.

It started about midnight on June 16 when a group of friends was finishing a dinner of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp on the back patio of a District of Columbia home. That’s when a hooded man slid through an open gate and pointed a handgun at the head of a 14-year-old girl.

…

“We were just finishing dinner,” Cristina “Cha Cha” Rowan, 43, told the man. “Why don’t you have a glass of wine with us?”

The intruder had a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and said, “Damn, that’s good wine.”

I prefer to eat things that can’t give me the black plague.

Live rats are being trucked from central China, suffering a plague of a reported 2 billion rodents displaced by a flooded lake, to the south to end up in restaurant dishes, Chinese media reported.

Rats had been doing a roaring trade thanks to strong supply over the last two weeks, the China News Service quoted vendors as saying.

Are You Ready For Canadian “Naked Week?”

They may be the “butt” of more than a few jokes, but for years nudists have been touting the benefits of shedding restrictive threads and spending more time in your birthday suit.
