Specialization is for Insects.
I believe that Jake and Amir accurately summarize all of the points about why I think the iPad is such a revolutionary tool. You’d be wise to heed their advice and run out and get one. Or two. BUT NOT THREE!!!
Of course, I am going to give one away soon, so you could also just try and win it…
The Geoff Smith put on a live concert from Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell’s house in December 2009. I was there, and I captured this live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody.
The video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 15mm fisheye lens. I was sitting directly in front of Geoff, with the camera less than 3 feet from his head. Audio is straight off the camera, so it’s merely “acceptable”.

Folks, listen up. If you are still using your ISPs slow DNS servers you are probably suffering needlessly and not taking advantage of the full speed of whichever connection you may have – even high speed ones like cable, DSL or Fiber Optics. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about – this means you!
I’m going to show you how to speed up everything you do online by switching to a better, faster Domain Name Server (DNS) system run by either Google or OpenDNS. Best of all, it will only take you like 5 minutes to make a change that will benefit you every day from now on! But before we get started, let me explain what DNS does for you in non-technical terms.

Hey Gang! Call it shameless self promotion… call it unbridled lust for power… call it “Crazy Johnny’s Free Stuff Giveaway!” But whatever you do, please check out my iPad Giveaway page, and how about doing me a favor and participating in it?
I have about 20 good reasons for you all to help me with this social experiment. But especially for those of you who are going to be attending OpenCamp and other various places I’ll lecture at this year – I need your help! You would not believe all the metrics I’m gathering and will be sharing with you later about how this works out! But you’ve really, really got to help me spread the word!
Seriously, do me this favor… even if you don’t want an iPad, that’s fine! I thought of you too! You can do it for charity! Just look at the bottom of the iPad Giveaway page and you’ll see that I’m happy to make a donation on your behalf if you win.
So please, if you read my blog all year, do me this one favor today of helping to spread the word. I’ll love you forever! (Oh, heck. I already do!)
While everyone else is gushing about how much they love their little shiny black and silver iPad, I’m here to tell you the dark truth behind the iPad. Yeah, that’s right, this is the stuff Apple doesn’t want you to know!
So, I ordered a couple of iPads from the Apple store online like 15 minutes after they were announced as being available. I did this so I wouldn’t have to wait in line for one, and in case they sold out. Of course when I ordered them they had a notification that you could only buy two. Fine. They also said that they wouldn’t ship them until April 12. Fine.
Fast forward 5 days. Now the Apple store has, and I quote from a phone call, “A complete contingent…” of iPads in stock. So I’m thinking I’ll just go pick up a couple. So I go online to the Apple Store and try and cancel the order for the two I have there. But guess what! NO! YOU MAY NOT CANCEL!!!
Whoa! What’s going on here?

Well folks, I’m extremely excited to finally unveil the new OpenCamp Conference that I, and a team of volunteers, have been secretly working on for months. (BTW, follow OpenCamp on Twitter and Facebook!) For those of you who were waiting on the announcement for WordCamp, well consider this it! We’re taking it to a whole different level this year by inviting WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and everyone else to the event!
Now, some of you may have been to WordCamp Dallas in the past, and some of you may have seen me lecture on blogging and other related topics, but I assure you – nothing you’ve seen in the past will compare to what we’ve got planned for OpenCamp!
We’re going to bring together about 1,000 bloggers, webmasters and podcasters all in one spot for an entire weekend of lectures, entertainment and networking. I promise you, it’s going to be absolutely amazing. And best of all, while other people are charging $1,000 for conferences half this good, we’re keeping OpenCamp CHEAP!
Here is a little intro video we put together to explain the concept:
Now, hurry up and get registered! Attendees are going to be listed by order of registration, so trust me YOU WANT TO BE FIRST ON THE LIST! Of course, there is a little issue at the moment with the automatic feed, but get registered anyway because the clock is already ticking and there are people ahead of you now!
Ok gang, for those of you who just got an iPad, you really need something nice to spice things up so you don’t have the same old iPad desktop wallpapers that everyone else has! Luckily Trey Ratcliff has come to the rescue!
WOW! I wouldn’t normally post this kind of racy material here on One Man’s Blog… but you really have to see this amazingly hot chick do a striptease! Just wait till you see her disrobe down to her bra and panties. And what comes next is truly shocking!
I’m not kidding, this striptease video is incredible and well worth the wait (sorry, you do need broadband – it’s a 10MB download)! Just hit the play button and then sit back and wait for the striptease show to begin. It starts getting really interesting about half way through! And believe me, you’ll be straining to see the end!
