Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

It's My Party, I'll Code If I Want To
1999-03-23 10:08:00
'Two thousand zero zero, party over, out of time! So tonight we're gonna party at Mozilla 99!' OK, that's pretty stupid. But the Mozilla party is a blast, and no matter how lame you are, you should come.
Mozilla-dot-party is a celebration of Mozilla, the open source version of Netscape Communicator. It's a FREE PARTY (you gotta pay for drinks), and it pulls in geeks from all over. Thrown by Jamie Zawienski (best known for BBDB), it's a real good time.
Last year's Mozilla-dot-party was the highlight of the geek social season. Pigdog Journal sent a strong representative crowd, and we were BY FAR not the geekiest people there. The crowd was a real cool mix of dressed-in-black Web design fuckheads and dressed-in-camo Open Source guerrillas, with a few dressed-in-Polo Silicon Valley hardware drones thrown in for good measure.
I heartily recommend that you come watch me get stupid drunk and cage dance naked with the giant styrofoam Mozilla statue. It was a crowd-pleaser last year, and I'm sure I'll get a few cheers again in 1999.

The One I Feel Sorry For Is Joses
We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)
