My Favorite Ol’ Dirty Bastard Videos

The more you analyze the life of Ol' Dirty Bastard (Russell Jones), the more you miss his outrageous persona and penchant for walking the walk and talking the talk.

ODB > Shawn Colvin > Puff Daddy

- The Grammy's suck but let's be honest, ODB's famous interruption is a classic moment in the "Screw the dumbest awards show ever" highlight reel. My favorite quotes "I bought me a outfit today that costed a lot of money" "Wu-Tang is for the children" and "Puffy is good but Wu-Tang is the best"

ODB Picks up Welfare in a Limo

- True classic of American cinema

Baby I Got Your Money

- This song was actually one of the ways I bonded with one of my best friends back when we were in college. Chris and I would either recite the lyrics or make the clapping sound. I still love when I occasionally hear this song in the club. I will honestly go into Ranch and or JBlacks for this song (and maybe the first 20 seconds of Hypnotize by Notorious BIG)

ODB interview outtakes

I won't describe this with words, words are nothing compared to ODB

ODB's Freestyle

Whatever he says it sounds cool. Subtitles?

RZA and ODB at a high school talent show?

ODB Speaks His Mind in Brooklyn Without Shoes

- I see a lot of people in Downtown Austin that seem to say the exact same thing (no embedding, check it out here). "You ain't gotta tell your teacher off tell your teacher off with education you kno what im sayin BOMB his ass White devil motherfucker"

... if only ODB ran for president.

First Time at In-N-Out Burger

This week I made my first trip to the West Coast eventually landing in San Diego. I decided that since it was the first time I had visited California, I needed to eat at In-N-Out Burger because well ... that's what everyone says you have to do. One thing that everyone touts when they start coastal debates is that the west coast has this amazing burger institution that has even managed to take on mythical proportions.

But as a native Texan, I will honor and defend Whataburger until the day I die and when I went to In-N-Out burger I had very high expectations. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that the menu was ridiculously small. It made up just two average size panels of your typical fast food menu but I do want to note that it doesn't include the "not so secret menu." Everyone remembers my post about the classic triple but I want to point out that In-N-Out's secret menu has something called the 4x4 which would be the equivalent of the classic quadruple should Whataburger ever decide that the y need to go bigger.

I ordered a double-double regular style and when the burger came it was wrapped the way you get burgers at places like Red Robin where part of the burger is uncovered and you slowly unwrap it as you eat. The burger itself was good, in a head to head comparison with Whataburger, I would give a slight edge to In-N-Out but when it comes to fries, In-N-Out wins, hands down. They make their fries fresh, on the spot and you can taste the difference.

If In-N-Out comes to Austin (they are expanding into Dallas I believe) would I choose them over Whataburger? Short answer, yes but let's not forget that Austin is blessed with a number of great hamburger restaurants that while they aren't fast food, they are still better than either option.

How to Make Orange Soda without Orange Soda

I was at Taco Bell today (yes I will admit that) and I came across their drink fountain and it made me remember something I learned long ago when I worked at a mini golf place in Foxboro.

At work we had free time every now and then to experiment with drink combinations and I made one which is still really awesome. One day while mixing random sodas, I discovered that you can make orange soda by combining pink lemonade with Mountain Dew. It literally comes out orange and tastes exactly like orange soda. 50/50 usually works as far as mixing goes but the brand of pink lemonade is really the only thing that can mess it up as some tend to be more watered down than others.

Try it sometime, its really awesome.

Affliction Shirts Banned at The Ranch

What happens when a bar that's known for its "Affliction" crowd suddenly bans graphic tees? Awesomeness.

The Ranch, a bar along West 6th (where I also met Luke and Owen Wilson) has informally been known as an "Affliction Bar" - a place where 50 year old men trying to recapture their youth and 20 somethings trying to act tough paraded their flaming skulls, playing cards, swords and gothic lettering in front of the local ladies.

That changed sometime recently and I want to say congratulations to Ranch because they finally get it. Affliction shirts aren't cool, they've never been cool and will never be cool. MMA fighters don't wear them because they want to look tough because they don't need to ... their job in life is beating people. They just get paid $$$ for the sponsorship.

The past few UFC fights, I've seen some people turned away because of their tees. While most of them went quietly, a few predictably played the "tough guy" card or "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" card in a desperate attempt to gain entry. Thankfully Ranch ain't havin' none of it so cheers to 'em!

I'm so happy with the decision that I will honestly go to Ranch in the future and buy a drink, even by myself, just to support the cause.

PS: Austin's "douchiest bar" (believe me ask any woman with an IQ and real boobs) is still by far Malaia.

My Five Favorite Red Dead Redemption Glitches

Rockstar recently released a new game called Back to the Future III. Well thats what I wish the game's plot was about but instead they released a game set in the same era only its about cowboys or something. I don't own the game, not because I don't think it will be awesome but the glitch videos far outweigh any possible gameplay moments. Rockstar is also releasing bug fixes for it and sadly I'd rather play the broken version as opposed to the fixed edition.

Glitch 1: Bird People
Apparently the game has confused the character models for birds and people

Glitch 2: Honing Dynamite
In the 1800s, man's greatest invention was honing dynamite that was used to effectively destroy local bird populations

Glitch 3: Bear Riding a Horse
Either this is a circus mod or just a really funny bug

Glitch 4: The hardest part about rollerblading ...
is telling your parents you're gay

Glitch 5: Horse embedded in the ground

Sandbox Part 3

So let's see, still in the sandbox.

Added links from:
- Trusted article sources
- Wikipedia
- A number of local search sites
- Social (micro-blogging and ugc)

Additional site content added:
- Added a Blog (up to 10 entries right now)
- Added +100 words of additional rich content to a number of subpages

Still nothing, ranking 140 for the main keyword, top 50 for second tier keywords and top 10 for third tier keywords. This is what really sucks, my site has better content and links than my competitors but Google is taking a while to figure it all out. I did find one really good link opportunity that I think will be the shove that pushes my site over the edge and into relevant ranking land but I'll let you know how that turns out.

Sandbox Diary Part 2

Read the introduction

Today's update:
I spent most of tonight filling out and verifying local business profiles. I already had the site listed in Google Local / Places so hopefully the additional listings will help the site rank on local and maybe un-sandbox my site because Google will realize the business is listed on a bunch of legitimate sites.

Sandbox Diary Part 1

I am trying to see whether the Google Sandbox is a myth and only exists because people don't know how to build links or whether it is a legitimate phenomenon. If it does exist? What does it take to get out? Here is where I am as of 5/15/2010.

Site: Brand new domain, live on 3/1, 15 to 20 competitive sites for the keywords I'm targetting, main keywords are in the domain name, .com tld

- Confirmed in Webmaster tools, domain registered until 2013

Link Building:
Blogs - Two blogroll links on relevant sites (150 links total)
Directories - Yahoo Directory
Articles - 10 articles on 5 different services using varied anchor text
Press Releases - 1
Social Media - Twitter account, Identi.ca account, Facebook fan page
Others - Aboutus.org (nofollow not the dofollow paid service)

For the top tier keywords, the site ranks around 150 to 200, for second tier keywords 20 to 40, and for third tier keywords first page and in some cases first overall.

This week I have tentatively planned for 10 new articles, one or two directory submissions and some social bookmarking. Let's see what happens.
