The Apple Remote Desktop Vicious Vortex Death Spiral
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Personal, Technology,
Apparently, this is what happens when you mess around and leave Apple Remote Desktop running on one computer connected to another, and then go on the computer you are controlling and accidentally try to control the one that is controlling the one you are on. Did you get that?
What you have here is what we call the Apple Remote Desktop Vicious Vortex Death Spiral…of Doom.
I tried to close it, but to no avail, each and every sub-window had to redraw and refresh everything I was doing, and I was getting nowhere fast. I was finally able to minimize the Remote Desktop window on the original machine (iMac) from the second computer (MacBook Pro) and then Forced Quitted ARD that way. All was then well.
Be careful out there.

These Puppies Need A Home - PAWS in Ocean Shores Has Them!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Personal,
Alright guys, these insanely cute puppies need homes - their mother was adopted as she came into the PAWS shelter pregnant, located in North Beach in Ocean Shores, WA. Teresa‘s aunt owns the shelter, and she has all the details:
The shelter is called North Beach P.A.W.S and they’re located in Ocean Shores, WA. They are a no-kill facility that rescues animals from around the Grey’s Harbor coastal region. They also provide free spay/neuter services to needy families so that they can have the joy of a pet without worrying about taking care of additional puppies or kittens. They’re the only shelter in that region, and because of the economic situation in the area, they see a lot of abandoned and abused pets. Before them, there was nobody down there doing this kind of work.
People interested in adopting the puppies can call 360-289-9694.
They’re also in need of donations. They recently purchased their shelter and were able to raise the down payment, but now they need help with the mortgage. If there’s an animal lover in your life (or in your readers lives) who has everything, it might be worth making a donation in their name instead of buying them something they don’t really want or need. Donations can be sent to:
North Beach P.A.W.S.
P.O. Box 962
Ocean Shores, WA 98569
More information about donations can be found at TeresaCentric.
Alright, just caught this over at Jason Calacanis’ blog, which he found over at Andrea Harner’s site, who found it on Kottke. Aries Spears is straight up ill. Take a look at him rhyming, sounding exactly like LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, DMX, and Jay-Z. If only he would have said “It’s your man” and “It’s your boy” a little less…

Gear Live’s The Bleeding Edge Show Wins At The Vloggies!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Blogging, Business, Technology,
I have no idea how we pulled this off, especially with stiff competition like Diggnation, Command-N, Systm, CrankyGeeks, and others - but we did it. Gear Live’s technology video podcast, The Bleeding Edge, won the award for Best Technology Video Blog. This is truly amazing, and an honor, and let’s us know that despite all the silliness and fun we are having doing what we do, there is a movement happening, and we are honored to be a part of it. Check the video above for a nice, truncated recap of The Vloggies. Oh, and yes - we couldn’t make it, and we didn’t send a video acceptance speech because, quite frankly, we didn’t think we would win!

I’m Speaking At The Blog Business Summit (Or Halley Suitt Makes Me Blush)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Blogging, Business,
So, I will be speaking into two or three sessions at the Blog Business Summit here in Seattle. The event takes place on October 25-27th, and should be a good time networking and sharing philosophies on this space. Over on their speaker page, they have the hot profile for me:
Andru Edwards is the CEO of Gear Live Media, a weblog publishing company which contains some of the most popular technology and pop culture blogs on the Web, including it’s flagship blog, Gear Live. Through his passion for both writing and the subject matter, Andru took his blogs from a part-time hobby to a full-time successful company. Andru and his blogs have been quoted in USA Today, The New York Times, The Seattle Times, KOMO 4 News, Q13 News, KING5, and NPR, among others.
The company has also jumped into the podcasting and videocasting space, most recently with their technology show, The Bleeding Edge, and upcoming movie review show, FilmCrunch (site launch soon.)
Gear Live Media is also the host of the biannual Seattle Mind Camp event - a self-organizing, digitally minded, entrepreneur-driven, overnight Seattle confab which brings together the areas most creative, passionate, and smartest people.
Of course, Halley Suitt gave me way too much credit in her post where she breaks down what she knows about each speaker:
Andru Edwards—Andru is just too hot. He was seated next to me at this amazing surf and turf dinner we had at Microsoft Search Champ Camp ... did he know how much he was turning me on ... with his brilliant mind I mean, don’t get the wrong idea. I think he was digging the turf.
Kind words - much appreciated, Halley.

As I sit here today, thinking about the people who lost their lives in New York City five years ago this morning, I can’t help but think back to the fateful day that changed the way that Americans think of the numbers 9-11.
On September 11, 2001 I was getting ready to leave a coworkers house to head home. He got a call from his mother, telling him that one of the Towers was gone. On my end, all I heard him say was things like “No way…are you serious? You are just kidding right?” When he put on CNN, I was completely shocked and taken aback. I continued to get ready to leave, wondering what the hell was going on. Minutes later, the second Tower collapsed to the ground.
It was the start, the sad, cold start of a whole new way of living for the entire world.

Happy Birthday Great Grandmother!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Alijah, Personal, Videos,
This one goes out to my grandmother - Alijah’s great grandmother - for her 75th birthday. Alijah wanted to send her a special birthday wish after practicing for a couple of days.
Alijah know his parts! Check out this video to see him show you around his head, face, and tummy. Oh, and I know - every other kid to ever exist has probably done this, but this is cuter, mmkay?
Alright, I had totally forgot that my boy Chris Pirillo caught this on camera. I spoke a bit about how BootCamp totally wrecked my MacBook Pro - while covering E3, no less - with the end result being that Apple totally stepped up to the plate to help me out. Check out the video above that Chris put on YouTube, capturing a portion of my tech support call to Apple while sitting in the E3 media room.
Alijah loves shows like American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. Tonight, he showed us that he thought that he could dance! Check out these smooth moves…
