Foul Play is what has taken over the Friday nights at Bar Smith in downtown Phoenix. I still haven’t been since the Foul Play takeover. This video from the homies at Pheosia Films shows me how bad I suck at life.

Cannibal Ox @ The Blunt Club
Well this Thursday Jan. 10th I’m super excited for. Cannibal Ox, which has one of the best Hip-Hop albums of all time, Cold Vein, is coming to the Blunt Club. I never thought I would be able to see an Ox show, I have read countless articles on the internet that they are broken up and never getting back together, and ones that they never broke up and EL-P is working on the album right now. There is no way i’m missing this show. I will update this with photos and video after. Here is a track from the Cold Vein album, Pigeon. I’m stoked!

Android vs. iPhone
I never thought I would ever have an iPhone. I have had an Android Phone since the first Droid came out. I guess I just liked the idea behind Google’s linux-based phone and it’s open-ness. Apple is just so expensive, most of it’s apps cost money, and I didn’t really like how it keeps it products on lock down. Android and even Windows phone have a issue though, they have to run on a variety of different makes and models of hardware, where iOS just has to run on like 3. Apple designing the hardware it’s self and the operating system runs on, has the advantage. iOS is much smoother than Android and crashes much less.
The thing I like more about Android is the apps. I have spent more money on apps for iOS in the 4 weeks than I have ever had owning an Android. Android has a good app for connecting to a uTorrent server. It was very nice to be able to VPN into my home, start a movie download, then be able to watch it when i get home. There is probably an app to connect to uTorrent servers for iOS, but I haven’t found it yet, and when I do find it, it will probably cost money. Tethering, I miss being able to tether off my phone for free, android wins on that one.
I haven’t been able to get hands-on with the GalaxyS3 yet though. I flashed my roommate’s Galaxy Nexus with bugless beast which is on jelly bean and it seemed pretty smooth. I haven’t given up on Android, I just really like this iPhone lol. I’ll give iOS a shot for as long as I have this job, my work gave me an iPhone after I busted my DroidX… :\ I’m just kinda going on a rant about phones because i’m bored, home on a saturday night and I haven’t blogged in almost 2 months. So to finish this, if i could get any phone i wanted in 2013, I would consider getting an iPhone, but I would still probably go google, cause you know the GalaxyS4 is going be awesome. But i’m sure as i get more experienced with the iPhone and an untethered jailbreak comes out for iOS 6, I will like the iPhone more.
Changing Permalinks in WordPress IIS 6.0
I wanted to change the permalinks on my blog for SEO reasons, but when doing so the pages for my posts couldn’t be found. After googling a little bit I found the answer that worked. I’m running my blog on IIS 6.0
On your IIS Server download and install ISAPI_Rewrite Lite. When downloading make sure to use the free Lite version. Install Rewrite Lite, add the ISAPI filter to your IIS Site, by right clicking on your IIS site -> properties -> ISAPI filters tab -> Add … Name the filter whatever you wish and your path to your executable should be:
C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3\ISAPI_Rewrite.dll
Click OK on both windows to save your settings.
Next navigate to C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3
Here we will edit httpd.conf
Open the httpd.conf file in wordpad and paste in these lines:RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]Save and exit this file.
To complete your IIS changes, Go to start, run and run the command: iisreset /restart
Now you should be able to change the permalinks on your wordpress blog for some reason I had to choose custom and place /%postname% in the field to get it to work.
Bad thing about changing your permalinks is your tweets, likes, and google+1 counter will reset 🙁
Dillon Francis in Phoenix
This post is dedicated to Dillon Francis. I was able to see him in downtown Phoenix a couple of weeks back, and the place was wild. I was able to sneak backstage and ask him about his recent trip to Alaska. I was a little wasted and don’t remember to much of what he said, but I think the convo when something like this.
Me: “So how did you like Alaska?”
Dillon: “It was okay”
Me: “ya, I’m from there”
lol..yaaa I would make a terrible music journalist.. I know we talked about the EDC Alaska video he made but that is about all I remember 😐 He was a very nice person, and I was happy I was able to meet him. Such a fun night!Here is the video from that night shot by the one and only PheosiA Films Production as well as the EDC Alaska vid, the new Masta Blasta video along with the Que Que video and some crappy pictures I took off my phone.

Engenius ECB9500 POS
The other day I had to swap out one of my client’s old access point with this Engenius ECB9500. By default it is configured as a wireless bridge and has an IP of 192.168.1.2. I log into it change the IP to be on the client’s subnet, change it from wireless bridge mode to access point mode, then it disappears…I can’t connect to it at the IP I changed it to, I can’t connect to it on it’s default IP, nothing. I thought maybe after i changed it to access point mode maybe it defaults to DHCP, nope. I read the admin guide, nothing helpful. Maybe its a browser issue, nope. I’m just going to cut my rant short and tell you when you change it to access point mode it defaults to 192.168.1.1 it took me a hour to figure that out only have finally noticing in firefox’s status bar that it was trying to connect to that address after i changed it to AP mode. Hey Engenius it was genius that you didn’t include that in the admin guide.
VX Days – A Ted Kim Skateboarding Film
I’m really excited to see this video. Too bad I can’t be in Alaska today to catch the premier. I’ll have to mail Ted Kim 20 bucks to get this film shipped to me fresh outta the AK. Glad to see he made one more 🙂
ELEMENT TEAM IN ALASKA SPRING 2011
Love the cinematography in this video. Glad to see skate videos are more that just skate videos these days.
