Acting Good!

My old, old, old and I do mean OLD friend, Patrick Laybyorteaux, has created a really funny web site: http://www.actinggood.com.

If you’ve seen me in stuff, then you have seen Patrick in stuff. Before I was fired from show business, we used to be in movies and t.v. shoes together. Patrick, however, was allowed back in to the movie and television business and did a series you never saw, but everyone else in the country watched: JAG.

We also co-wrote “Hollywood Palms” together. The “quick, down and dirty” project that took almost 10 years to get made.

Regardless, check out actinggood.com

You’ll act good. Real good.

Security

Wow. Four of my neighbor’s passwords (thanks http://apostrophe.me) are “administrator”.

Well. Two of them were because the address to their routers are http://192.168.1.100

Now their passwords are “ChangeYourPassword”.

Great Pleasures

One of the great pleasures I encounter each week is my Saturday download. It’s the day I hook up my iPhone and download my nutty podcasts. My current favorite is Skeptoid, which is described by Brian Dunning, the host as “…a weekly science podcast dedicated to furthering knowledge by blasting away the widespread pseudosciences that infect popular culture.” He’s done a couple of really great episodes about “organic” food and locally grown produce, but the most incendiary has got to be Sarah Palin is not stupid.

The Palin episode of Skeptoid points out how those of us who pride ourselves for being critical thinkers have to remember to refrain from ad hominem attacks, especially against those who have different beliefs than ours. It’s great stuff.

My other favorite, which I may have mentioned here, is the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Steven Novella and his brothers, Jay, Bob along with Even Bernstein and one of several “skepchicks”, Rebecca, are the skeptic superfriends. Each week, they sit around and wax poetic about things skeptical. I was interviewed by them last week at TAM7, which is a true honor. Steven Novella has got to be the busiest man in the world. He blogs daily at Science Based Medicine as well as his own, Neurologica blog. Plus, he’s a neurosurgeon and does legwork for the Skeptics Guide podcast. The man is smart. Crazy smart.

I also listen to three tech podcasts: the Zend php framework, Ruby on Rails & JQuery. It sounds a lot like English. I’m pretty sure it’s English.

There’s also a guy who decided to read all of the Robert Ingersoll writings. Great. Nutty.

I put the new ones in the “Sleep” playlist and listen to that as I fall asleep. By the end of the week, from waking up in the middle of the night, etc., I’m pretty sure I’ve heard everything.

Fascinating, isn’t it?

I’m going to write about TAM7 real soon. No, really.

old fat gay

Apparently, more 3 more people have visited this site looking for “old fat gay” rather than “dean cameron actor”.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that there are hundreds of visitors looking for “dean cameron”.

Whew.

I’m not even that fat anymore… What gives, people?

What if there were a vaccine for autism? What would the anti-vax people do?

Dean A Day

When I remembered, which was 253 times, I snapped a shot of myself with my McBook’s built-in camera.

Initially, I was going for a still headshot type thing to create a sort of time-lapse. I tired of that rather quickly and began mugging like a freak, instead. Why couldn’t I have done both, I do not know.

I can see the 3 month rock bottom depression. It’s pretty cool. I can also see when I got out of that. Pretty weird.

The weight fluctuations are cool, too. Crazy!
