Greatest Term Paper Ever!

Over the last few months, I have made some disparaging comments about the quality of the academia at the community college I am currently attending.  I feel bad about that.  I was wrong.  I should not be dissin my fellow Tritons. I’ll make up for it by posting a term paper that they all can […]

Airport Food, the TSA and Windows 7: Tour d’Joko- Holiday Edition

Usually, food tastes better when you overpay for it.  When you go to a sporting event, for example, those $10 sausages taste  incredible!  Popcorn at the movie theatre taste far better than anything one could make at home, and its not just because of that unknown oily stuff they call butter either.  It’s psychological.  We’re […]

Trying Hard Not to Cry With Everyone Else

Imagine your fiancee calls you up to the stage to sit there while he sings you a love song. This is the ONE song he’s always wanted to perform:

Rastaman Santa

It’s a reggae ukulele Christmas everyone! Ho Ho Ho! This little ditty was written by my friend, Doctor Sparkles, who recently made a tutorial video about how to play that reggae strum on your uke (he’s also got a new CD coming out soon!) .  I’ll make this vid a YouTube response to that one. […]

Tour d’Joko: Boeing, Mukilteo and Clinton Edition

For those who aren’t familiar with what I do here on my blog, the “Tour d’Joko” is my ongoing series of travel video blogs.  I had a little adventure today! I’m looking forward to heading to San Diego for the holidays, but I have to say, I Love Washington State! Even biking around in 40 […]

THE RIVER IS ABOUT TO FLOOD! (well…)

Yesterday’s Everett Herald had as its headline in gigantic letters: RIVERS AT RECORD HIGHS Okay, I understand that dramatic headlines make for better newspaper sales, and there were a few smaller rivers around here at record highs, but the not the BIG river, the mighty Snohomish. In any case, as I was out and about […]

SEXY TEDDY BEAR SATURDAY

So Skribbler declared today to be “Sexy Saturday” here on FriendBurst. I’m always one to go with theme days. I think they’re fun. I also got a new ukulele yesterday, and was looking for ideas of what to play. I was able to combine a request WITH the Sexy Saturday theme! Now, I call it […]

Reviewing the Radio Show with Kevin & Sean (part 2)

Part 2 of 2… Here’s a link to part one. Here’s an archived recording of the show. Personally, I liked the feature that used to be on this player where I can download it as a podcast to iTunes instead of streaming it live. You have to go to the show’s page to get that […]

Interviewing Social Network Execs on BTR: Today’s Radio Show (part 1)

Part One of Two – I guess the first version was too long (it was only one page typed in a word processor!) As you might have heard, I co-hosted a Blogtalk Radio show on Sunday with the topic of the changes on MySpace and how other social networks like Facebook or FriendBurst might fulfill […]

Maybe People Will Take Me Seriously Now That I’ve Been in The Paper

“Aren’t you Jock-o?” the lady asked me in the lobby of the Thumbnail Theatre tonight, “or is it Joe-ko?”. “Why, yes I am Joko.” I replied smugly.  It’s always a little bit of an ego boost when someone you’ve never met before comes up to you and knows your name, even if she doesn’t know […]
