Nope, not that one…
This one!
The Lights Out made it to the finals in Harpoon UFO’s Best Unfiltered Band Search and if they win, they’ll get all sorts of great promo opportunities. That in a time when good indie bands are hard to come by thanks to mega labels cranking out superb wankery that seems to jive with American CrapholeIdol.

I’ve updated my NY Giants iCal feed for the 2008 season:
http://robmaurizi.com/extra/giants_schedule.php
You can either copy the link and subscribe to it in an iCal-capable calendar application, or just click on it to save the .ics file and load it into your calendar. The latter is required if you’re using MobileMe and want the schedule on your iPhone (like me).

Well, well, here we are. Welcome to the newly re-designed robmaurizi.com. What do you think?
As you can see, I’ve opted for the static homepage as opposed to the blog-flavored listing of recent posts. All of the photos on the home and contact pages are fed from Flickr. The about page has been given a slight makeover in the last.fm feed and the addition of Rob Miller’s cool Now Reading plugin. And regular readers may have noticed an uptick in their RSS spam with the new addition of the del.icio.us daily links posting.
So, feel free to bounce around, check things out, and let me know what you think. The old favorites like the story about Olive eating the bunny and the piece about creating a tabbed interface with DLs using CSS and jQuery haven’t moved.
I hope (I know I say this all the time) to add more here more frequently, but you all know how hard it is to do that.

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything, but I’ve been CRAZY busy.
Renovation, baby, holidays, moving, launch, development, two kids in a new house.
If you really want to know what’s happening, check out the twitter block on the right, or just follow me on twitter.

I’m pissed. What the hell happened to my TV? I don’t mean the actual box, but the institution known as television.
The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of year for many reasons, but primarily because it’s Christmas. If you can’t understand that then that’s your problem.

Yup.. that’s me. I haven’t written anything in a couple of months and that pretty much sucks. I’ve got a bunch of stuff I want to put together and post here but just haven’t had the time and the energy. There’s even a redesign in the works, but it’s just not there yet. I can blame this entirely on five things:
- Renovating a house that I didn’t think needed as much renovation as is going into it when we purchased it in June
- Slamming to get a fairly large site out the door by the end of this year
- Having a new baby boy named Thomas
- The impending Christmas season
- My desire to get my iPhone list manager app put together so I can use it for Christmas shopping
So here I am, slacking on posting, but busy as hell everywhere else. I’ll get to it soon, I promise.

Okay, so I promised the other day that I’d put something up here soon, so here goes. There’s a lot going on.
First, it’s September 11th. I didn’t physically live in the New York Tri-State Area six years ago, but I do know a lot of people who did. However, when I saw the Deutsche Bank building burning from my apartment a few weeks ago, I realized just how crazy it must’ve been then.
Here’s to those who are no longer with us. Here’s to those who risked their lives, and here’s to those who survived.
Second, there’s the family incrementation subroutine that’s been running and should finally timeout in November. Katie’s been feeling well, but we don’t have any names picked out yet and I get the sense that that’s going to bite us in the @$$ when the time comes.
On top of that, we bought a house and we are all moved in we should be moved in by Oct. 1 we decided to re-do the kitchen and baths and will remain renting until we can move in, hopefully near Christmas. With any luck, we’ll be moved out of Hoboken by October 1.
FWIW, I highly recommend NOT attempting to relocate, have a baby and buy a house inside a year and a half.
In other news, there’s a reboot of this here site in the works so stay tuned for that. That’s always my catalyst to keep writing (can you call this writing? I guess it’s more or less banter), but this time I’d like to try to post more tutorials and helpful snippets featuring HTML, CSS and jQuery. I’m also looking into some other fun features, but we’ll see what happens.
In the meantime, tomorrow holds a meeting with the kitchen designer followed by a visit to a rental house. All while estimating how long it would take to make an international coffee site owned by a multi-national corporation standards-complaint.
G’night!
