Planning My Saturday

Saturdays. Days for me to feel overwhelmed by things I need to get done and contrasted by the fact that I want to do nothing. I’m preparing to catch a bus down to the bank as of now. I gotta do some dealings involving a freezer tomorrow. After that, I need to do some house cleaning.

But really, I want to sit and play video games. They beckon to me.

Also, I’m keeping my promise to make this all completely mundane. MUNDANE.

Moving Up in Google

Update: Google promptly dropped me down to page 4. Google is sick and tired of my shit.

Man, WordPress. Just a few days after switching from Blogger, I’ve jumped over Diff’rent Strokes and just below Urban Dictionary on searches for “Gooch.”

Watchu talkin’ ’bout?

Waiting to go to Joe Jost’s

My first semi-real attempt at mobile blogging. Despite being terribly out of money I’m planning on getting a hot dog and beer. This is neccessary to reaclimate myself to the Long Beach lifestyle. If you’re lucky, dear reader, there will be more to follow. You probably will not be so lucky.

Also, I made cookies.

Using my phone to post nonsense

No, really. I just wanted to test this out. I think I’m on to big things.

Transferring to WordPress

Well, I’m moving davegooch.com over to wordpress. It will take a while. It will be awesome. It will not be any better than it was on blogger except that I can update mobily (mobiley? mobly? Is this even a word?)

Moving to WordPress

Ok, I’m moving this all over to wordpress, one: because I like the wp interface. Two: we use wp for IceCreamMan.com so I can use this to try out some stuff that we might want to use there. Three: maybe I’ll be more active with a change of scenery. Four: it seems like you can do a lot more with wp. Five: I have a wp app on my phone to update from.

So, hopefully see you soon.

Wasting Time at an Ice Cream Vendors Convention

It’s been an interesting few days at IAICDV‘s (International Association of Ice Cream Distributors and Vendors) annual ice cream vendors convention in Phoenix (technically Chandler). Things have been going pretty laid back for the most part. Talk to some people, eat some ice cream, drink some beers, sleep.

Today we had a great day though. First, we got to the convention in time to get the tail end of free breakfast (breakfast tacos – score). Second, there was a talk about social media and how it relates to the ice cream industry hosted by the lovely and engaging Gwen Bell. What made that even better was that she made a point to talk about Ice Cream Man and what we were doing and even called Matt up to talk for a while about it. And he didn’t ramble too much, which was amazing.
After hanging out and chatting Gwen up for a while, we decided to forgo the volleyball tournament (95 degree weather + jeans + no lunch) and eat some lunch and got to talk to one of the biggest ice cream distributors/vendors in the country.
Now we wait for the Blue Bunny hosted reception and then the awards banquet. We will not be winning an award.
I hope to see people get stupidly drunk, but that will probably not happen. Unless it’s me.

Working in San Francisco

So all this week, while I’m waiting for Treasure Island Fest this weekend and after watching the 49ers lose at home worse than they have in over 40 years, I’m sitting at my friend Matt’s house, toiling away at the computer and enjoying the finer things in San Francisco. Of course, by finer things I mean cheap beers and expensive donuts. I really need to move up here.

So that said, some recommendations for travelers visiting The City:
Dynamo-
I think donuts are destined to be the new cupcakes. It’s high time for a renaissance and Dynamo is leading the way. Maple bacon apple donut? Yes, please. They also know how to make a good espresso drink. The only downside is the donuts run pricey. I mean, I know the honey lavender glaze is costly, but $3 for a raised donut? Ouch.
St. Francis Fountain-
Half a block from Dynamo is one of the best breakfasts in the city, making morning decisions that much tougher. St. Francis is cozy and delicious.
Absinthe-
Not a place I would generally go to. One, it’s super expensive; two… well, number one sums it up. My friend Justin is a manger there though, so we paid a visit. They indeed serve its namesake liquor, and also a menagerie of delightful cocktails. But, as I said, expensive.
That should do for now. Maybe I’ll throw a few more out later.

Getting @DaveGooch for Twitter

Yes! I finally was able to get @davegooch after months of the obviously inferior @dave_gooch. Underscore, you are outta here!

And no need to feel bad for the previous owner of @davegooch. He only used it once back in October. Obviously I deserve it more.
DaveGooch FTW!

Drinking Tequila

Why is it so hard to keep this updated? I need to somehow be able to automatically scan drawings without having to use the scanner.
