Angry Ninja. angry ninja t shirts, store, blog, adventures and more

welcome back tv! good thing i have eyeball insurance.

here at angry ninja headquarters, the writers strike was a real bummer. there i was, with a beautiful high definition tv begging to be watched, with no new programming.

and then the stars aligned and tv was back in my life once again, better and stronger than ever. what happened to change my fortune you ask?

1. comcast upgraded my hd lineup
2. writers strike ended
3. i started my new work schedule
4. nba playoffs started

so i went from having 7 hd channels and no shows to watch, to having 20+ hd channels and too many shows. in a typical week, ill watch how i met your mother, 30 rock, scrubs, my name is earl, the office, smallville, numb3rs, the nba playoffs, giants games, and sharks games (man i watch a lot of nbc, especially on thursdays). then come summer, rescue me and entourage will be back in the rotation. good thing friday night lights and 24 are on hiatus or my eyeballs would probably fall out of my skull.

does tv rot your brain? is it really an idiot box/boob tube? if they ever did a study, id be a pretty good subject to experiment on. man tv is awesome. which brings me to the latest design. tv: nothing is on.

ps. makes sure to get your mom a mothers day gift. theres still time to pick one up from the angry ninja webstore!

side note on the zazzle store. some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.

email post - well that was anticlimactic

background: i was testing out the wordpress email-to-post feature while i was getting my car serviced today. there i was, sitting at the service center, typing an email post thinking to myself, “man this is going to be so awesome. im going to be able to write on angry ninja without having to actually be in front of a computer.” if i have an epiphany while driving around, cruising on the bart, or sitting on the can, i can whip out my phone and write about it. sweet! i typed out the email, sent it, got back home and what do i see? nothing. zilch. nada.

conclusion: email-to-post feature in its current stage sucks. if anyone has gotten it working on their wordpress, let me know.

below is the post that i painstakingly typed out on my blackjacks tiny qwerty keyboard, risking carpal tunnel syndrome and my ps3 playing ability:

My car is getting serviced right now. Theres only so many times i can play solitaire on the cell phone, and nothing is on the slingbox, so im pretty bored.

So i thought to myself, “you know what self, this would be a great time to test out the email-to-post feature on wordpress.” Basically, if you knew the email address im using for this feature, you would be able to write for angry ninja too! Good thing i made the email address super secret and obscure. Take that you hackers!

Ive also realized that typing out an entire post on a blackjack is pretty intense. I think my thumbs might fall off.

Whats going on tonight? Im going to be going to the giants game. I believe its woody tony ravey night. Im excited that i get to eat hot dogs and garlic fries, and to watch the game at beautiful at&t park (might be even better than watching the game in hd). You should watch and look for me. I think ill be in section 119.

Theres also plenty of tv for you to watch as well, you know, if baseball isnt your thing. The warriors are playing the nuggets in a huge game with playoff implications (winner will probably make the postseason, losers wont), and for you non sports fans, scrubs, my name is earl, the office and 30 rock are all on. Gonna be working my comcast dvr tonight!
