Thu - August 19, 2004The Obituary
Hah- I pressured you all into visiting my blog
some 600 times. Awesome. Or maybe I have a stalker that checked 3 times a day.
Either way, I feel cool.
In memory of the blog, here's more information than you would ever want about my hit statistics. Not that you all care, but it is interesting to see what happens when you leave a page primarily unattended on the web. The page has had 90 unique visitors. Which means I had a whole lot of people visiting every once and a while. Here's a list of the searches that led people to go to my weblog: Name related: andrew howe(9), andrew howe ca, andrew howe uk, andrew howe weblog, drew is weird, drew howe blog, andrew howe uk, drew howe Sodexho Related: sodexho complaint, sodexho sucks Pepsi Related: free pepsi, pesi-cola official web-site Stuff Related to things I did: painting his nails, growing a goatee, painted his nails, his nails painted, fire drill suck, dorm fire drill, painted nails site:mac.com (it looks like someone was trying to find the famous dinosaur pic!!!) WTF?: dorms suck(3), uk dorms suck, bragging for attention, building whistles, is a complaint 17 visitors came from my brother's blog link. 32 came from google. I got one visitor was identifiable as from each country: Italy, Switzerland, the UK and Canada. Two people ran into my page looking for a page in italian, and one looking for a page in french. No one was looking for spanglish :(. Now for the graphs:  This is a great operating system graph to see. If only the world were so beautifully diverse. *cries*. Even some people in the "other" category! Okay, that's enough, I think. Time to pack up my computer. Posted at 12:19 PM Tue - June 22, 2004PUDDING POPS ARE BACK!
Let it be known to the world: PUDDING POPS ARE
BACK! Yes, Indeed, Jell-O Pudding Pops are now becoming available under the
Popsicle brand. This is a wonderful thing. I have been trying HARD to find where
they are in my area, and I found out that Breyers, the parent company of
Popsicle now allows you to search for products based on your zip code. So here's
the search site:
http://www.breyers.com/locator/ Go find them! Eat them! Enjoy! Yes, I know I'm obsessed. Actually I'm putting this in now so that people can search for it on google- it too me an hour to find this info. Oh yeah, I'm visiting Spokane soon!!! Woohoo! Posted at 08:20 PM Tue - June 8, 2004DSL!!!
Drew is no longer a stranger to the world of the
internet! And people can call while he's on it too! I have DSL!!!
:-D
 Oh yeah. And I know stuff about cool movies that you can't know :-P. HA! Posted at 09:14 PM Fri - May 14, 2004Hired!Thanks to being employed with a temp agency, Drew
is now ready to put in some hours at Skywalker SoundѢ. That's right, Lucas
Digital LTD is having someone pay me to work for them. What am I doing? Why
inventory, of course. Though so far my official title is "slave" to Tim
McGovern, the head of engineering there. Not sure how much work will be there,
or how long it will last, but indeed I am employed, and will be working for the
single most successful and well-known audio company in the world. Now we'll just
see how long I last. Want to hire Drew? You're perfectly welcome to send
possible employment my way- please no food service. Know of a place that could
use a weird techy like me? Let me know! I need hours!
Posted at 03:21 PM Thu - April 15, 2004BirthdayHaving reached the age of 1.9x10^1, I've got a
whole lot of really cool stuff.... This is the second recording session Jars of
Clay ever did- second only to their first demo "Frail". Frail can't be found,
and Drummer Boy can't really be found either...
Having reached the age of 1.9x10^1, I've got a
whole lot of really cool stuff.
First of all, and possibly the most shocking, I have Drummer Boy. This is the second recording session Jars of Clay ever did- second only to their first demo "Frail". Frail can't be found, and Drummer Boy can't really be found either... but somehow Stacie managed to. So I have it now.  Along with that, I've got a cool rug mouse pad, and have just put in the order for Mac OS X Panther.  pretty box, huh? I thought so too. I'm hoping what's inside is just as good, too. Stacie did a really amazing thing... she somehow managed to contact just about everyone I know and have them sign a banner, including my extended family (well, my mom helped), people at school, and old friends. Time to change the email password, eh? :-P. I'd say that's the boldest gesture I've seen a single person carry out on my birthday, and it made me feel all warm and special. So thanks everyone who contributed to that... you're cool. I'll have a photo of the banner up as soon as I have time to set it all up again. That's all for now. Posted at 12:33 PM Tue - April 13, 2004I'm baack
Well, after a weekend with Brian & Becky (and
the cutest kid in the world, Elena), I'm back at school. What's next? Some 20
pages of writing, and 5 finals. All before May 3. Here are some pictures from
the weekend,
though...
 (that's supposed to show the whole capitol building... but it got cut off)  Pretty nice dome. Now if only we could fill it with some smart people...  As previously mentioned, the cutest kid in the world. Posted at 12:16 PM Mon - March 29, 2004Photos
So... I haven't had a lot of time to update the
blog, but here's some photos to prove that I haven't been wasting all of my time
studying (not that there was any
doubt)
 Outside the philly art museum  Also outside the museum  Outside of the museum from inside the museum  Myself and Stacie outside of the museum  The bug I found in my salad bowl after eating from it. Posted at 06:10 PM Fri - March 19, 2004Front Row
We were in the front. No, not near the front, the
front. They (Dan the lead singer and Matt the guitarist) shook my hand. Dan
thanked me (for what I know not). The set was awesome. The Mint (a new local
favorite of mine who I've seen twice now) opened. The promoters were
confiscating cameras, and I managed to get digital photos out. So here, since
they harassed Stacie for using a camera they previously said was okay, are some
photos of Jars of Clay for your marginally legal enjoyment. Oh, and one of the
mint. And no, my camera does not have any zoom on it, I was just really that
close.
  Sorry about the color- it's indoor stage lights at very low power (they didn't pay for big lighting) And now The Mint:  They're cool too. So that's my concert update. Want to know more? Email me. Posted at 01:45 AM Sun - March 7, 2004Back from CA I just wanted an excuse to show off the photo. It's good to be back (and it was good to go home, too!) Posted at 11:20 PM Fri - February 27, 2004SPRING BREAK!Drew's off to California for Spring break, far
far away from his best friend... er... computer- so that means it'll be quite a
while before you hear from him again. Of course, you could call me or email me
like you should have in the first place, couldn't you?
Posted at 03:02 PM Tue - February 24, 2004Normal
Along with escaping the grasp of the T-Rex (sorry
I forgot to mention that part), Drew now has normal nails- so you all have
nothing to worry about now. For a while,
anyways.
Posted at 11:40 PM Sat - February 21, 2004SEEING JARS DREW IS SEEING JARS OF CLAY NEXT MONTH!!! It's been THREE YEARS since he did last time. It's going to be AWESOME! It's in a small standing-room-only place in philly- same place I saw Switchfoot last semester. It's going to be great. It would be very hard to make Drew happier. Check in after March 18 for pictures... hopefully even better than Newsboys (I'll be closer). Posted at 04:33 PM Tue - February 17, 2004I'm going home!Thanks to the great ability for money to be moved
around at great velocities and for nice grandparents, I'm going home for spring
break! Woo! Let's hear it for jet lag! It'll be good to get in some sleep time,
and down some Zach's pizza and such. So yay for Drew! If you're one of my bay
area people, you should call my cell after 6 so we can do stuff. That'd be cool.
Yes, all of you.
Posted at 10:04 PM Sun - February 15, 2004Concertey Goodness
Newsboys concert was good. I said that simply to
brag:
 I took that. Posted at 11:38 PM Tue - February 10, 2004Free Pepsi
Ever had a bottle of soda that wouldn't open? Or
one that looked slightly off? Or ever felt slightly like cheating a large
corporation? Well Drew tried to open a bottle of pepsi last week, and it
wouldn't go. He ended up having to use channel clamps (for all you
non-tool-literate people, a kind of pliers) to open the bottle. So Drew called
pepsi and told them, and they acted like it was a *serious* problem, and sent
him a coupon for up to $3.50 on any pepsi product. Sure, a kid in the production
plant probably got 30 lashes for it, but Drew got free stuff! Go Drew! You
should do it too- they like to give free stuff to the people who are proactive
enough to actually call. Here's what they said to
me:
Dear Mr. Howe: Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for letting us know about the problem you had with one of our packages. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience this caused. The quality of our packaging is important to us, and the information you provided will be helpful in identifying and correcting any possible problems. Please be assured that we take such incidents seriously and will follow up with the production facility responsible for filling and distributing this package. Consumers have come to expect high quality soft drinks and containers from Pesi-Cola, and anything less is unacceptable to us. Again we would like to thank you for the information you provided for enabling us to conduct a thorough quality assurance check. Please enjoy the enclosed replacement coupon along with our thanks for bringing this matter to our attention Sincerely, Mike Miltana Senior Consumer Relations Representative Yep, they're going to enjoy beating that unruly employee. It warms Drew's heart. Now, do you think Drew could get the state of CA to apologize like this for not counting his vote? Probably not. Posted at 01:46 PM |
