Folks, out with the old and in with the new. At nearly two years with this look, we at SvenOnTech have decided it was time to move on. Get something a bit more updated. It was also a good idea to stop hacking the main index file and shoving all that WordPress code there instead of just adapting to the theme structure. Hopefully, this will make for an easier and less timely upgrade next time. In fact, we plan on an alternative Christmas look in the coming month. 
With this upgrade, we’ve also upgrade our WordPress engine. Lots of good stuff comes out of this, mainly that you (and me) iPhone users can now just navigate straight to svenontech.com and your iPhone will get a totally different theme. One designed specifically for your iPhone allowing for timely downloads that will even bring the content down quickly on EDGE networks. Thanks to Content.Robot’s iWPhone plug-in, you can enjoy SvenOnTech in 100% iPhone joy.
Now, you may be noticing some missing stuff. Yes, the sections are gone but are coming back. The day job is hectic and I just don’t have time to get it ALL taken care of today. This was a quickie (I can’t believe I
Okay. That’s it for now. Enjoy the new look and comment if you find issues. I’ll add it to my list of fixes. Thanks, and enjoy!
(Many thanks to Björk whom I was listening to while doing this well into the wee hours of the morning.)
Not to paint with a wide brush, but many of the X-Box/PlayStation culture I have witnessed first hand seem to fit this picture. I could see the paint truck going down the road and the painter seeing this stick poking out into the street and thinking, “Dude, I’ll have to actually stop the truck, put it in park, and get out of the truck and move it. I wish I just had my blaster and I’d tap the A button a few times and it’d be gone.”
Yup, that’s about what I imagine the train of thought on that one. But then again, you could call me on this whole scenario and point out that this kind of gamer is probably living at home with mom and dad and they don’t have a job to begin with. Sad, I’d have to say you’re probably right. I’ve seen a couple of them, too.
Oh man, talk about a halarious song. I got Weird Al’s latest album, Straight Outta Lynwood, for White & Nerdy but I have to say, one of the funniest songs has got to be Trapped In The Drive-Thru. Man, this song had me doing a true LOL as some of the lyrics was just so true to life I could totally relate. I was cracking up through the entire 10 minute opus.
I would totally suggest to anyone that they purchase this disc set and just have a good laugh. Other great songs include Don’t Download This Song, I’ll Sue Ya’, and the already mentioned White & Nerdy. Good stuff!
T’was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas – no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a “Holiday”.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe’s the word Christmas – was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny’s and Sears
You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Klinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace.
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate “Winter Break” under your “Dream Tree”
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!
If you’re looking for a good time knocking OJ down with his own book, then enjoy this game from GSN where you throw OJ’s never released If I Did It at him. The book was written, supposedly, as if maybe OJ would have done that gruesome murder. We all know the truth, OJ knows the truth, heck, even his lawyers know who the truth! We didn’t need this insult of a book so now you can throw it back at him!
