Yes, it’s true. The MCness himself is keeping it real with a blog. Hammer is hurtin’ ‘em with stories, audio clips and pix of eating nice fat breakfasts with his son. It’s the story behind the Hammer, straight from the man who had the best pants in all of 80’s rap. Seems as Hammer got some geek cred. He’s made the rounds out here at Google and YouTube, posts pix from a Sidekick, links to Wikipedia entries, has a Feedburner feed and a gmail address. He’s fairly prolific too, dropping lots of content each day and the comments are adding up.

I’m glad I don’t live in south Florida. I’ve always suspected it’s a police state, now there’s evidence.

February 23, 1996 will live in infamy. Yes friends, that is the date I registered eddie.com. This domain, eddie.com, has been in my possession for 10 YEARS! Dude, that’s like almost before the Internet was invented. Seriously, I didn’t think I’d live long enough to have had a domain for that long. Wow. As a fitting tribute, here’s my own personal wayback machine of the way things looked in 1999.

The GETV turns 1000 party the other night was beyond control. Familiar faces filled the bubble along with a cadre of the newly minted internet famous. The Chuck Barris of Flash, producer Rick Abruzzo brought to life a round of not your father’s Jeopardy and two rounds of $25 Pyramid Scheme. Nina Rawkstah, Irene McGee and master of the House of Shields, Schlomo Rabinowitz faces off in Jeopardy. Schlomo took it home by knowing his moo milk from his man milk. Round one of the Pyramid had Eric Rice and our own Irina Slutsky representing for Team Egomaniac going up against David Sifry and Caterina Fake of Team Tagtastic. Round two had Ted Rheingold and Jason Schupp teamed up as the Filthy Pirates pitted against whom, I completely forgot. That ended in a draw, so no Cancun for these warriors. See for yourself. WARNING: Caterina is too cute prying open Goat.cx.

Come celebrate Geek Entertainment TV’s launching of our 1000th subscriber. Yes, that’s right. Barely 3 months old and GETV is getting close to the coveted 1000 spot on someone’s long tail. In monetized eyeball buzzwordology, that worth $25! As many drinks as that would buy, we’re not quite ready to sell out. Yet. In other words, no open bar, no free t-shirts, not even a free lick of the toilet mint. What you will get is an excuse to rub elbows with the newly internet famous and maybe even become internet famous yourself for a brief megabit. See the future now.
In the upstairs: $25 Pyramid Scheme | Geek Edition. The version Dick Clark never wanted you to see. From the creators of SF’s sorta favorite bad game show, This Is Jeopardy comes a new endeavor. Bigger Laughs! Zestier Questions! Dumber Contestants! Smaller Prizes! Killer Whales! Comparative Adjective Plural Noun! Come be a contestant!
Confirmed Internet Famous contestants include Ted Rheingold of Dogster/Catster, Caterina Fake of Flickr, Eric Rice of ericrice.com, Irene McGee of NoOne’sListening and Irina Slutsky from some video blog. Game begins at 9pm sharp.
You’ve never heard of Geek Entertainment TV, you say? You’ve been living in a virtual cave? The GETV media empire is inflating faster than bubble 2.0. See it in action before it pops.
Thursday night at the House of Shields, ground zero for all important Snark 2.0 events. Doors @ 8pm / Game @ 9pm.

Vancouver is a rad, beautiful town. The mountains beckon, but only from a distance this time. Moose Camp is day 1 of the great white north blogger geek-o-thon. Did some GETV interviews with the talented Sarah Pullman guest corresponding. This shot is Sarah interviewing Chris Pirillo and Ponzi of Gnomedex fame. Scott Beale always quick on the 5D.
A few self-promotional bits today: Le Monde 2 has an interview with Ryan and I about Webzine and the future of the Internet or whatever, like we know anything. No online version. If you’re in France, please pick up a copy for us. Also, Webzine 2005 named dropped in Annalee’s Techsploitation this week. Lastly, Xeni’s BoingBoing piece on Marc’s Dorkbot food hacking presentation features my grinning mug. It was that tasty!

I’m heading up to Vancouver for the Northern Voice blog conference this weekend. It’s web geeky-a-riffic, but with a funny accent, eh. I’ll be getting some GETV interviews and doing some vlogging for Netsquared. I’ve never been to Vancouver though it’s been on my short list for years. If you’re around, find me and say hi. And tell me what to check out.
