New Links in my Blog Roll

April 5th, 2008 by Kilted Eric

Look way over to the right of the page.  Notice at the top the area titled Sites, blogs and Podcasts?  I added more links, and changed one of them.  Some Details:

Miss Maggies Frugal Abundance , my Step SIster from the South!  She changed her blog to a new site and let go of her old site, which is giving her more freedom and time to do the things she has to / wants to do.  Go Maggie Go!

Kilt Blog and Kilt Me are 2 different bloggers both writing about wearing kilts, making kilts, and the stuff the=at goes on with them as well.  I am very excited to know more men are out there creating kilt related content, that isn’t just dirty jokes.  Thanks Guys, keep up the great work!

 

The Brotherhood of the KIlt  Why I didn’t have this up here before is beyond me.  Truly the best general interest Kilt forum out there.  There is one other site that is a general interest kilt forum, but I don’t like it.  The people there at The Brotherhood of the kilt are funny, friendly, geeky, smart, and all around interesting.  If you are looking for more information about wearing kilts, history of kilts, start here.

 

Kilted Public Radio  Hey hey, some guys from the Brotherhood of the Kilt started their own Kilt related Podcast.  At the time of this posting they have 3 shows in the can.  They are doing good work over there.  Now I wonder if they will ever call me to do an interview?

 

Key Limey Bastard  One of the guys from the Brotherhood of the Kilt.  Posts about fabrics, knitting, and sewing.

 

Cool OS X Apps  You know I had to add one of my FAV Max sites.  If you are a Mac user and want some cool and generally free software, check this site out.  I have loads of apps that I enjoy using that I found through this site.

Kilted Falls, MyMiniCity keeps growing!

April 5th, 2008 by Kilted Eric

There is a fun little time wasting web site called MyminiCity.  I have a city there called Kilted Falls.  This is how it grows, each click to the site add population, and if good folks like you click there or these other links (below) Industry, transportation, ect grow and grow.

I suggest that all Kilt wearing / supporting people go there and build up the biggest Kilt Friendly City there is!

Here are the Links to help grow Kilted Falls

Wine Library Tv is great, great stuff

September 5th, 2007 by Kilted Eric

CLICK THIS LINK BELOW

WLTV

 

 

NO, wait, stop. Read my post, and check out my page first before going on.

 

Why the big letters? It’s true, Wine library Tv is great. A simple wine tasting and wine review show, that turns you on your head and bangs your against the table 4 to 5 times with it’s mad genius! Gary, the host, walks you through several wine EVERY WEEK DAY, yes he does this daily. His style makes it feel like his is sitting in your livingroom actually talking to you, no really to you, not just the camera.

 

I love this show, I love wine! I can’t afford wine right now, but I love thinking about wine. As a server and a cook, wine was and is important to food, and Gary brings his knowledge and love of the grape to every show.

 

I can only hope, that Gary will read this, hear my own podcast at thiskiltedlife.com some time and give me some pointers. I want to try to bring his style of energy to the kilt world.

 

Thanks Gary, keep up the good work.

 

Ok, I am done telling you why I love his show so much, NOW GO AND CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!!!

I would also like to point out

That was my first posting of a picture that did not come from Flickr, I know whoopie everybody else can do it. WELL I JUST FIGURED IT OUT!

 

Also that was my first posting of a screenshot, yep I am getting cooler.

 

Someday, I will be totally rad!

 

Oh, and I posted these last two entries using Journler. Which is super rad and cool.

OK, I admit it, I’m an Apple Fanboy

Check this out: Songbird

Screenshot of Songbird

Its built on the Mozilla frame work, open source, cross platform music player. But it just doesn’t play yourr, it also searches music blogs and other sites for web based music, and even allows you to simply place those songs into your library.

For me on my Mac, I can’t play WAM files on iTunes, so I have to use another player, but Songbird plays them, and puts them into its library. Snazzy.

It won’t replace my iTunes yet, and it hasn’t reached version 1.0 so it can be a bit buggy at times.

UPDATE: I just realized one bugger about it currently, if you use Quicksilver on your Mac, and have some nifty hotkeys set for playing / pausing & skipping songs in
iTunes. Well, we don’t have that in Songbird, yet.

Due to bandwidth reaching it’s “end”
