The Musings of Adam Lawton

iTunes Tagging is nothing new and many people have their own methods for doing so, but I’ve done it my own unique way and am going to show you how. The process it takes to do this is a little time consuming, but totally worth it. I’ll explain how my iTunes library is set up as a starting point for you.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had a job with this kind of a schedule, but after an all-hands meeting (how I love those) on Thursday, the Big Wigs said that they were going to implement the 9/80 workweek starting in the beginning of September.
For anyone unaware of what a 9/80 schedule is, instead of [...]

After much deliberation, I decided I’m going to stick with WordPress. I’m now able to mold it into my own twisted vision, plus some of the posts here are already permalinked to other sites. I want your children’s children to be able to enjoy this stuff someday.
Also my application for Google AdSense was [...]

Thanks to a Security Update from Apple, the record has been stopped dead in it’s tracks.  Thanks a lot Apple for the patch, now I have to start all over again.  Who cares about security!  21 Days, 3 Hours and 36 was the final uptime for the impromptu record.  I make it sound as if [...]

I almost didn’t go to Kung Fu tonight because for some reason my knee started to really bother me out of the blue and I could hardly walk.  I was a good little cohort though and stuck around to give it my all.
I went up against this one dude that I usually slug it out [...]

About a month ago I decided to hop aboard the dot-com bandwagon and become a total sellout. I signed up for a Google AdSense account to try to defer some costs. No not server costs, just the costs of this life of excess that I lead. They said it may take a [...]

In a record setting event that’ll change the way we as a species look at computing forever, my Mac has officially been up for well over 19 days without a restart. More on this story as time continues to tick away.

Early this year I bought the MacHeist bundle which included a copy of 1Password. I haven’t actually given 1Password the light of day up until about a month ago, but I must say I should have been using it a long time ago. Instead of using my same ol’ 8 character passwords, they’re [...]

After waiting (im)patiently for well over a year, I finally decided to take the plunge and get an iPhone, on release day no less.  This is huge considering how much I hate cellphones, but seeing as how my 5G iPod needs to be replaced anyhow I figured why not.  I went to bed at around [...]

Well it’s been a while since an update, but it’s not entirely my fault. I’ve been having some problems with Wordpress, and while it’s pretty good for the most part there’s just too much spamming and updating to the system required. The updating would not be too big a deal except that in [...]

Today I gave my letter of resignation, and here it is below:
Ahoy friends and fellow ship mates:
A recent visitation from a well-known Sky Pirate (for privacy’s sake known by the alias of Dola) has once again altered the course of my life and the very existence of humanity itself.
I am officially announcing my dropping out [...]

Sunday, The final day of The Wrath of Con. Obviously this was the worst day of the con, only because it marked the end until next year, but incidentally it happened to be the best.
Checkout for the room was at 11, so knowing that I would be pretty busy with no chance to go [...]

Welcome to the Wrath of Con, Day 2 review. Before going further I would just like to add that the photos taken at the event have been uploaded to flickr.
The day started a little late for me, I got to the floor at around 11am I think. I went to another one of [...]

The day started out a little slow. By the time I got to the con floor which was around 9 or 10 there were a few people standing around, and the dealers were continuing to arrive and set up shop.
Not too long after Richard Hatch arrived and I was able to introduce myself. [...]

Welcome to Part 0 in the Wrath of Con series! Part 0 because this takes place before the Con actually starts. There are a few stories, photos and videos that are going to have to be cut from this out of respect to the actors/actresses though.
I was really disappointed when I found out [...]

..wow. Even though this was only my second con, I seriously seriously doubt that any other will be able to top this one any time soon, if not ever.
I’m tired and bummed, but that’s only because I’m at work right now. Within the week I will be posting photos, (appropriate) video, and Better-Late-Than-Never™ [...]

I will be gone
for Wrath of Con
tomorrow until
Sunday yet still
it seems too short
with no Douglas or Penikett.. ort
Hopefully Lucianna Carro will be there.. or even Leah Cairns to make up for this!

With fuel prices the way they are, wouldn’t you think America’s most rowdy “sport” would be a popular target for all of us complaining about fuel prices? I mean we all know that Nascar is an exciting tour-de-force and call me crazy, but going around a few hundred times in a circle seems to [...]

Dear George Lucas,
Please stop making movies. They were good 20 years ago when there was little to no CGI, but now they have become a huge crutch. You have ruined Indiana Jones and Star Wars, and I’m afraid that you’re not going to stop there.
Sincerely,
Adam Lawton

..a group of posers thought it would be a great idea to carjack my buddy Alex’s Honda. In broad daylight. By the time I ran out to try to catch them they were already gone, so we all hopped on a couple of pickup trucks in true Florida yee-haw fashion and gave chase.

We [...]
